Erik is rock solid, perhaps he means like a DB deflecting the ball and not a collision/impact breakup or DL deflection? Pro Football Reference also has us with 11 PBUs. No one on the defense has more than 2 PBUs, maybe that is what he meant.

I don't know about that, ESPN has us with 11.

At the end of the day, Bills never were going 17-0 and it's very rare that a team of Buffalo's caliber will play well and lose. This game is exactly what it was: inevitable. Dust yourself off, learn, and on to the next one. I feel bad for the Falcons, Bills record after a loss since 2020 is excellent.

Normally I agree, especially with Hoch, but to my eyes 7/8 of the 10 were legit IMO. Sloppy game.

Top realistic thing we can do this week is heal up our injured guys and get Larry O and 55 up to speed as fast as possible.

Is he cleared yet? Davis is a legit (pre-knee) deep threat and we desperately need that.

Hopefully he's been hitting the playbook hard to keep the mental side of the game up. Even if he splits with Tre 50/50, that is ok. You just don't want Tre playing 100% snaps anymore.

No, Strong was getting more and more PT. I think we were close to him taking over as the full time CB soon. Strong/White going 50/50 is fine. White going 100 is not. Max has barely touched grass as a Pro, it isn't realistic to expect him to be ready for a while even after he's cleared. He's likely going to split the snaps 25/75 when he returns. Just my guess.

I see comments like this all the time, and then they play a kid that's not ready. Then Max is a bust, I'm a better CB, anyone in the FA pool is better, ect. Strong going down killed us, not much we can do with White right now.

0 goals attempted, 0 goals allowed.

They showed on the broadcast most of those penalties (OPI, several blocking down field, IC, Kincaid's holding, Bernard late hit), and the Bills did commit them. Can't complain about the penalties when the team does in fact flat out commit them. IIRC there was one holding, maybe on 66, that was iffy.

Keep in mind, he's missed all of TC. He likely won't be an improvement over White.

It's not uncommon for NCBs to be washed by 29/30, and he looks washed.

The beefy ones seem to always get a ton of screen time, doing their little muscle man first down poses.

This. The only time Bills ever seem to have a ton of yellow, is when Hoch is flexing in the game.

Correct, the INT seemed to be the momentum killer. That was a great defensive play, we definitely can't really complain about Allen INTs.

That's what Bease used to do, catch and the old "don't hit me" dive lol

Taron Johnson continues to escape any criticism, but he's allowing a 90% completion percentage BEFORE the Pats game. Needless to say, that number is horrible. Yup, he's not a flashy pass rush specialist, but he's a great all around DE and elite vs the run.

- Pats win helped them more than it hurt us. - This should be the final season for White, Milano, and Johnson. - Kincaid starting to break out - Coleman/Palmer "just guys" until proven otherwise. - Pats may force Bills to evolve faster than they typically do. I think a LB overhaul is coming this summer. Roles, packages, and body types. - Speed rusher is desperately needed, we only have compression style DEs. - Walker's development is amazing. - He didn't play, but Dorian Williams pass defense numbers are actually very good this season. - Sloppy games are disappointing, but it's unrealistic to expect a team to be 100% on their game month after month. They haven't lost at home since last year.

CS1 wasn't wide open for an easy TD? You can see the safety over the top, he would have had plenty of time to react to the pass to get into position?

Yeah... '90% want change' is absolutely NOT an accurate statement. Sorry we aren't going 17-0 this year.

Not to jump on the "Crap on Keon" train, but he needs to stop that 'catch - go backwards to get distance between him and defender - try to get more YaC' thing.

To me, are 'rivalries' unis are called the 'kings of the north' unis. White Walker unis?

We've been waiting a long time for a sack party.

But they can open it at any time, correct?
