Agree. My point is for all the playing time he’s gotten, you’d like to see it show up on the stat sheet for our 2nd round pick. I’m certainly not anti-Sanders and rooting for him.

I want that to be true but it’s certainly not showing up in the stats. He has one tackle for all the playing time he’s had thus far. Jordan Phillips, who was just called up and played in one game, has the same amount. Walker on the other hand has made a noticeable difference and impact with similar playing time.

With how we draft in the 2nd round, I’d easily give up a 2nd knowing we’d have an absolute beast on the DL to pair up w Oliver, Bosa, Groot. Add in Hoecht along w Sanders and Walker developing.

I’d run to the phone if we could get Jeffrey Simmons for a 2nd round pick!

I believe so but I highly doubt the window opens in the next two weeks for Hairston. I don’t know details but obviously he had a pretty significant injury.

Hoping at minimum Ed and Brown are back this week. Let Milano get fully healthy.

Done

Yes it’s still VERY early in the season and Baltimore is sitting at 1-3 with a ridiculous amount of injuries including Lamar who “may” miss 2-3 games. They have Houston who’s 1-3 as well this week fighting for survival and the Rams the following week. They seriously could be looking at missing the playoffs if they were to lose these next two games. That would forecast them around 9-8 or 10-7 barring a hot streak. Things could quickly unravel. With Indy, Jax, Pitt, Chargers, KC and Denver, they could seriously miss the playoffs!

It will be interesting to see if Sanders snap counts go down once they have their full group (Jones, Ed, Oji, Walker) back.

When Hoecht is back, I wonder if Solomon will be released?

It’s early, but trading up for Sanders in the 2nd and then selecting Landon in the 3rd are not looking like good picks. Hopefully, a light bulb turns on for both soon.

Interesting D stats thru 4 games: Top 3 leading tacklers are Benford, Bishop and Tre. That can’t be good. Zero INTS by our CB’s Walker having a very solid year thus far as a rookie. Sanders not so much. Daquon Jones and Bosa tied with two sacks each for the most sacks thus far. That equates to 8.5 sacks each for the year.

Cam Lewis missed a wide open tackle on the 3rd and 7. Solomon whiffed on the next Rattler scramble. In the TD, Taron Johnson is in position and whiffed, Taylor Rapp then whiffs again and finally Tre was the last resort but was being blocked. Not sure what our LB’s were doing. Also, they are at the 18 yard line so why is our S playing 16 yards deep at the snap? That first drive highlighted how atrocious the tackling was. They could have /should have easily gotten off the field on 3rd and 7. What is extremely disappointing, is these are experienced players making crucial mistakes. I believe we could understand if our rookies were struggling. On Sunday, I saw way too many substitutions that resulted in the D not being set. In addition, New Orleans was purposely playing with pace offensively and yet we didn’t adjust. This resulted in multiple timeouts that were used by the defense.

True, but we’re talking about Sanders, Walker and Bishop being the younger players. We have a plethra of experience players on D who have continued struggling with tackling and being out of position. Was really frustrating is this isn’t a new scheme so it’s concerning that’s it’s an ongoing problem with gap assignments, poor tackling with an ineffective pass rush. IMO, the Bills substitute defensively way too much on the DL and we rely too heavily on straight bull rushing which isn’t a strength for many on our DL.

Two after last night! 😀

Q2 focus moves to NE, ATL, Carolina and KC. Can they go 4-0? If so, they’ll need to get tighter on D as ATL and KC have formidable offenses. With the way our D has played and at times when our O can get stagnant, they can’t sleepwalk against NE or Carolina. Keep stacking wins and take care of business! A win against NE would move the Bills to 3-0 within the AFCE and dang near seal another AFCE title barring something bizarre happening. ATL on the road, who have an arsenal of offensive weapons with a mobile QB, won’t be easy! There will be plenty of BillsMafia at the game. Then on to Carolina, where the Bills can’t stumble where BillsMafia will be out in full force yet again. Lastly, we close out Q2 with KC at home. Nothing more needs to be said for this game! Getting to 4-0 in Q2, is certainly doable but won’t be easy. 2-2 would be disappointing. But to get to 4-0, tackling has to significantly improve on the D! LETS GO BUFFALO!

Jets are fighting with TN for that spot!

Heck of a catch by Wilson! Jets looking at 0-6 with a loss tonight as they have Dallas and Denver upcoming. Things could get ugly in New Jersey!

They are certainly a passing offense. Do they even have a RB? All four of the teams tonight look unimpressive. Jets are gonna need to draft a QB and hope they hit.

Especially when they get the ball to start the 2nd half.

Denver gives Bo Nix a ton of short passes rolling out.

Just watched the Saints opening drive and the amount of horrible tackling was on full display. Cam Lewis missed an easy tackle on Rattler allowing a 1st down on 3rd and 8. Solomon missed an easy tackle on Rattler allowing him to scramble for a big gain. On the Saints TD run both Taron Johnson and Rapp missed basic tackles allowing a 18 yard TD run. Looked bad in person and even worse watching it now on replay! Woof!

Thanks for confirming Shaw. Iwas at the game and saw Tre lined up in the S role a few times and had to do a double take. Peaked my interest. Haven’t had a chance to watch the game but curious on their D alignment with Tre at S.

Ravens have Houston at home next who are also 1-3. If Lamar doesn’t play, they could fall to 1-4 with the Rams next. The Steelers have a legit shot of winning the AFCN. Early playoff predictions: BUFFALO kc Pitt Indy Chargers Jax ?

Was really disappointing with the staff as they had a mini bye to get ready for this game. While NO played on the West coast last week, flew back to NO on Monday to then fly to the East coast. Offensively, I’d like to see us go more uptempo at times. Defensively, I don’t even know what our scheme is. Rush four with majority of straight bull rushing, with almost never stunting. Heck move Bosa around from time to time. Creat some freaking mismatches or confusion! Instead our DL continues to get stonewalled while our secondary plays soft coverage constantly giving up easy 5-10 yard passes. Add in piss poor tackling and it’s very concerning. Led the team in tackles which isn’t a good sign for the D!
