Knox had a step there but the ball was floated too much.

This D is bipolar. It is splash plays or gashed. There is no inbetween. Some of their fundamentals are so poor and Babich presses too much as a play caller.

Nice rep Sanders and Bernard.

Bosa is half assing today

Dragging a safety with him. Where are all the "he isn't tough" guys.

For sure. There was some terrible tackling on that drive. But the playcalling wasn't great either.

That is another play where Cook gets 5 or 6 yards when 90% of the backs in football are stopped for no gain. His ability to stop his feet, keep his balance and change direction is ELITE

I don't love the idea of McD calling the D again but they have to do something. Babich is over his head.

That is really poor defense. Tackling was atrocious.

Cam has to do a better job in the open field there. The Bills collapsed the pocket pretty well.

Nice play Walker

Bills running some of those man beater crossers early. And to be fair to our receivers they seem to get some separation on those.

Vintage Khalil Shakir.

Well all those wanting play action on 2nd down will be pleased..... still nobody got open down the field.

Vandy as expected at RT

Let's gooooo Buffaaaaallllllooooooo!

After 17 games - sure. But in smaller samples like 3 games the opposition can skew. I think the Ravens game makes the run D look worse than it is (it's average to just below average). By the same token the Jets games makes the third down D look better than it is (it is actually legit terrible).

He is talking about 2019. There is no disgareement from anyone (including Brandon Beane btw) that what they gave Allen around him in 2018 was putrid.

I think to be fair to them they fixed things up pretty well in 2019. They admitted how bad they screwed up 2018 and they invested in protection and a couple of credible pass catchers and a proper QB coach and had a vet in the room. But 2018 was mistake after mistake, they got away with it.

Sean Payton was once one of the most cutting edge play designers and play callers in football but this tells you two things: 1. It's easier to look like an innovator when your QB is a HOF talent; and 2. Eventually the league passes everyone by. No matter how good you have been. To be running just 26% motion in 2025 is unforgiveable.

Did Denver hire Ken Dorsey? 😂

Honestly I think the Rex era was worse. Cos the team was talented under Rex. And we STILL sucked. The Chan team the talent sucked.

So sure, 3 DBs in round 1 in 9 drafts including the one McDermott ran. But only 1 more DB in the first two days. Defensive line it is 2 first round picks and SIX day two picks. The priority of this regime in the draft has unquestionably been defensive line. 8 premium picks vs 4.

In Allen's rookie year in 2018 it is beyond a question of a doubt that they made a total mess of every element of the process. 1. Lack of a proper vet in the room until mid-season; 2. Thinking Peterman was a legitimate bridge that Allen would gain anything learning behind (he couldn't even stay on the field more than a half); 3. An offensive talent collection that the GM himself at the end of the season admitted was "horrible". Including the worst offensive line in the league with Vlad Ducasse and Ryan Groy as a starters and wide receivers that were a rookie UDFA and a career journeyman in Deonte Thompson.

And they drafted pretty well with the picks they did have. Even guys who they didn't extend like Jordan Fuller and David Long and Ernest Jones and David Edwards were day 3 picks who were average to above average starters on tiny rookie salaries that enabled them to fit the stars in around. And then that 2023 class.... Byron Young, Kobie Turner, Puka Nakua, Steve Avila.... that was one of those classes a bit like Cook, Bernard, Shakir, Benford for the Bills where you just find four long term starters in a single class and Turner and Nakua especially are difference makers for them.
