    What an odd thing to just throw into the conversation.

     

    Regarding Poyer specifically, many people noticed him dropping off near the end of last year. Taking bad angles, slow to the spot he had to get to. It was chalked up to his injury riddled season and the fact that Hyde wasn't playing. He didn't look the same in the preseason and through 5 games (almost a third of the season) he still isn't back to form. 

     

    It's fair to point out the obvious. He's a good dude. He's done a lot for the franchise. But it would seem the age and injury have piled up and it's more than fair to wonder if he will return to form.

    It's more to point out that this board sometimes overreacts to small sample sizes.  I would disagree with everyone noticing he lost a step last year.  He was balling till the end last year because we had very little going well on the back end

    Last year Tyler Huntley was a Pro Bowler. The year before Mac Jones was a Pro Bowler. People need to stop using that as a justification on someone's current play level. Aside from some contractual language and bonus money it's meaningless.

     

    That being said, age and injury have definitely caught up to Poyer and had an adverse reaction to his play. The thing that he (and Hyde) still have is experience in the system, experience with each other and great communication. However, physically he just isn't what he was...and that happens. He lost a step when physically he didn't have many steps to lose.

     

     

    You know that's not the same.  Poyer has been consistent.  To think he dropped off a ledge from a 5 game sample is silly.  That's why this board is crazy sometimes.  In the course of a game we are the worst team when losing by 3 points but then the best team 5 minutes later when we are up by 3.

    I wouldn’t assume Williams is the starter. I think it will be a split role.

     

    The real problem is the secondary. It’s in shambles.

    Not just due to injury. But also age.

    Highly overstated.  Poyer last year was a pro bowler and now everyone says he lost a step.  Hyde is looking as good as ever.  The only issue right now long term is losing White

    Agree on extending him 2 years.  Hopefully can move Miller off the books unless he looks like his old self this year.  

    I hope not.  He will be the cog to us winning the super bowl.

    One thing that worries me with what's left is that it's only been five weeks. We are almost certainly going to lose more players on defense and we are already at the breaking point at DB & LB. Injuries happen to every team, but it's a lot easier to plug in other depth guys around your star playmakers. You get to a point where all of your elite talent is already gone, and you can't just keep patching holes when you are already taking on water. 

    Same thing happened last year around this time but it leveled off plus I think getting through the London game because of jet lag and turf conditions, it's probably the most compromised we will be.

    I’m not even sure we have the defense to keep the Broncos from beating us.  And, our offensive OC is obviously on some serious psychographic drugs to treat his borderline personality disorder of psychosis and narcissistic tendencies.  If the Panthers or Hurricanes had hired Dorsey would it mean we’d of gotten an OC without an indifference and someone actually loyal to staying?  

    Did I miss something?  Is he getting ready to leave?

    Same no longer taking him seriously, Doug Pederson was better, Sean Payton was better, and the problems are neither had the frat ring which mattered most or a sorority sister in common with Kim Pegula like Sean did.  Lots of nepotistic hires not a lot of common sense.  Tried to respect him until he started letting sprains become full tears and he’s ruined White, pushed Josh to play with a UCL tear, and pads his regular season win loss ratio but doesn’t do anything after.  Unless we named Oen Dorsey interim we won’t go for offensive mindsets.

    Don't forget the hire that was a complete fail before they hired the "safe" Pederson.  Also Payton isn't looking too good in Denver

    Just being realistic and not a super fanatic. Two of the Bills best defensive players gone for the year. Poyer is slow, Milano gone, Tre gone, and Dorsey’s play calling??????

     

    Please, give a strong argument on why Bills fans should e thinking SB. 

    Did you have the same feeling last week after the Bills dismantled the Dolphins?  I would think a week won't make that much of a difference

    Injury bug has bitten the Bills again. Dorsey just ain’t it. He’s really not. I’ve never seen a more disjointed Bills offense with so much talent. On fire one week. Inexplicably lost the next. 
     

    The Chiefs have such a clear shot to the SB with the Bills D injured/inconsistent offense and Burrow is lame. 
     

    Poyer and Hyde got old fast and Von looked slow as well. The Bills may have to go through a couple down years here moving forward and reload. 
     

    Now give me those sweet sweet eyerolls!

    Is this the same team as the last three weeks.  Don't rely on this week to ruin your year
