Fair enough but counting on a rookie to be a big playmaker , even a 1st rounder, is not a very dependable strategy. Rousseau in the first and a proven veteran pass rush specialist instead of Basham would have been a better strategy imo.
The Bills are so glad you got their back.
They didn't blow that game last week at all. No one can stop Mahomes, even if he only had 3 seconds he would have won, he's just that good.😂
Rousseau played well for a rookie and had a good year.
No, imo the big draft mistake was Basham in the 2nd round instead of Creed Humphrey who was one of the top interior lineman in the league and completed the o line rebuild for KC. The Bills got very little pressure on Mahomes up the middle because of him. The Bills were badly in need on the interior line and will have to address it this off-season when they already had the answer fall right into their laps last draft.
Cinci won by taking away Mahomes wide open short outlets over the middle. Unlike the Bills who played so soft and left that area open.
The Bills played one of the 5 easiest schedules in the league this season. Their #1 defense played 15 of their games against a who's who of terrible qbs. Next year's schedule not nearly as easy. Their soft shell bend don't break d only works against inefficient qbs who can't sustain drives and makes no adjustments for qbs who can. They will have to improve.
The Bills coaches played scared defense all game. I could see from the start that this was not the same confident aggressive defense from the Patriots game.
They're actually challenging them on defense and not playing a scared soft shell defense. They're safeties are not 25 yards downfield and backpedaling at the snap.
Okay, Bass didn't get the memo on the kickoff; as if blaming him explains that entire tragic embarrassment. What a crock of *****. Meanwhile nobody has anything to offer about WTF happened on the next 2 plays?
Someone really needs to explain their thinking. That was just beyond stupid.
only 3 teams in the NFL used pre snap motion on a lesser % of plays than the Bills last season; the Giants, the Eagles, and the Cardinals.
I'd like to see more moving parts and more speed to really get defenses on their heels.
