I have not always been impressed with Levi's play, but there was a clear drop off in the secondary after he was injured. It will be good to have him back and I am hoping that a healthier defense will result in more consistent play.

I feel a little better about the defense after seeing the effort in the second half yesterday, but Buffalo still needs help in the front seven, particularly linebacker depth behind Edmunds and Milano. Dodson was serviceable until he got hurt, but Lacey hasnt shown me anything, Makavetich is a special teamer and Klein is a complete liability on passing downs. I wouldn't want to give up too much, but a good veteran linebacker would be worth giving up a late round pick. If not a trade, there has to be some upgrades on a practice squad somewhere or on the free agent market.

Beasley on offense and Hughes on defense are my two choices. Honorable mention to Hyde for that hit putting an exclamation point behind the defenses second half turnaround. I have to disagree on Bass, he redeemed himself a bit after that first horrible miss, but I still feel like he is going to cost us in a key game this year.

9-7 might get it done. If Buffalo beats New England next week they suddenly have a commanding lead. It is doubtful that they beat Seattle and you never know which Arizona team will show up. 6-4 or 7-3 going into the bye would put the Bills in a good position. Miami might be the only competition and we already have one win over them.

Say what you want about the Bills in the last three games, but New England isn't exactly getting it done either recently. It will be interesting to see what happens next week.

I think that they mean the second game of 2018(The Vontae Davis halftime retirement game), where the defense was respectable in the second half after a disasterous first half and week 1 against the Ravens. After that they played pretty decent for the rest of that year.

I agree with this. Ill take generating turnovers with a few big plays being given up over the chinese water torture of watching the defense give up endless 7 yard passes and 200 yards rushing that we saw for the previous 10 quarters before todays' second half

It's just the Jets, but the stats were good in the 2nd half and you have to start somewhere. It seemed like blitzing more made all of the difference. What works on Darnold may not necessarily work on Newton, Murray and Wilson though. Hopefully this boosted their confidence enough to lead to better results going forward.

5-2 is 5-2 but there are so many question marks on the team. Here is hoping that they can answer some of those this week. The next three games before the bye are going to be tough.

This is do or die. Find a way to survive today and figure it out from there. Win or lose, something drastic needs to be done this week.

Even if this happens the defense will keep the Jets on the field for 8 minutes afterwards as they drive for another TD.

This is an embarrassment and some players and coaches need to be kicked off the team after today. Something toxic is clearly happening internally. I have never seen a 4-2 so resigned to defeat against a winless team.

Alright, terrible start so far, but they came through there. Could be a defining moment if they can get it together after this.

Alright, we can all agree that it is now time to get rid of Lance Bass.

12 snaps, 2 targets, 1 catch for 9 yards

I always wondered who was more soulless between Brady and Belichick, now I know.

A little sloppy for the first quarter followed by adjustments and an easy win from there. 34-10 Buffalo

I remember in 1991 a 10-1 Bills squad going into New England who was at their lowest point two years before getting Bledsoe and losing in foxboro. Not sure if 2004 quite qualifies as a good team, but losing to the Steelers backups in a game where a win would have meant making the playoffs has to be up there. Buffalo has had a rough two weeks, but I do not see them losing to the Jets. A bad team playing hard can win on a given day, but this Jets team seems to have lost their fighting spirit and have Gase as the coach. Being shut out by a Miami team that was not playing their best in that game shows that they are in a bad way.

Right now, Buffalo can beat the bad teams and some of the pretty good teams(Rams, Raiders, Pittsburgh last year) but still falls short against the top notch teams. The way that this season is playing out in the AFC east, 9 wins might be enough to win the division. These next few games will let us know whether McDermott is a good coach or just better than what we have had since Levy. If the defense can even come close to going back to last years form, I do not see a team left on the schedule that we cannot beat. If they play like they did against Tennessee and KC, eight wins might be a struggle. The Jets game is a chance to turn thing around, plays some of the younger guys on defense and rebuild some confidence. After that New England, Arizona and Seattle will be a true measuring stick on where Buffalo really is. Anything less than 6-4 going into the week 11 bye means that the team has regressed.

To me giving up 200 plus yards on the ground is worse and much more painful to watch than a few big pass plays even if the score is lower in the end. It did not matter if it was 3rd and 1 or 3rd and 17, you knew that the Chiefs were going to convert it 90 percent of the time. So far this season, the defensive unit which carried the team from 2017-2019 when the offense was not that great has now become a liability when the offense has finally gotten better. Hopefully, they can turn it around.

With the schedule as it was I would have been thrilled with 4-2 in the beginning of the season. It is way too early to panic but something does need to be done about the front seven. It is possible to still support the team and see them as a playoff contender and at the same time still be worried about a potential glaring hole that could damage the season if not addressed.

After everything, this is a game again if Buffalo can find a way to stop KC's next drive.

The team averaged 30+ a game and Allen average 300 yards for the first 4 games, so why does Buffalo suddenly think that rolling out the Trent Edwards offense is a good idea over the last two weeks?

Something is obviously happening with the team internally, they have flat out played like they dont want to be there over the last couple of weeks

I am not going to excuse the bad play, but this whole situation should not have gone down as it did. The team who mishandled protocol got to rest for two weeks while the team playing them had to not know if the game was happening until the last second and practice for two teams for a week. Bad game for the Bills, Bad deal for the Bills, Bad overall situation. I hope that this is an isolated day. The team is still 4-1 and hopefully they can move on from this and not let it set the tone for the season. Here is hoping that White and Milano are ready to go by Monday. They were clearly missed.
