Agree, it all about what they are being coached to do, we play a “contain / soft zone defense”, which is not conducive to to getting pressure on a regular basis, think about this, all these D-line acquisitions, be it draft or free agency, ALL end up as underwhelming linemen, I don’t believe that seven plus years of acquisitions are all mediocre/ occasional flash players, they are coached to be what they are, and that’s definitely not Jim Schwartz’s wide nine, if you get my drift…, the scheme needs to be changed / updated / modified etc etc etc, GO BILLS!!!

It appears that some folks moms didn’t teach them how to act outside the house…, boys gotta learn to keep their kink to themselves…,

Agree, Like it or not, the Defenses soft zone gives away easy yards frequently, and can’t get off the field on 3rd down on a regular basis, which hurts the entire team especially in the postseason, and our nemesis KC takes advantage of this, again like it or not, adjustments don’t happen quickly enough, or are not executed by the players particularly well. That is what needs to change. I give Sean all the credit in the world for turning this team into a competitive playoff contender annually, that can’t be mentioned enough, GO BILLS!!!

That’s never going to happen,

Why make up a scenario that even you think isn’t realistic, and then think it’s worth a discussion? but I’ll bite, Babich is a McDermott disciple, he takes his direction from Sean, everyone knows this, our defense has not markedly changed in what, seven plus years…, we employ a defensive scheme that was relevant fifteen or more years ago, we can’t stop the run or the quick pass, because of the soft zone / contain defense we play, and we don’t have the personnel to have a hope in hell to do so, especially against top tier teams and coaches, we have watched this play out annually. Nuthin but luv, but we need a scheme change on defense in the worst way…, GO BILLS!!!

Players only love you when their playing…, Josh isn’t a fool, he knows full well what the issues are with the overall scheme Sean has been using.

An easy pitch and run to Cook would have got the first down…, likely repeatedly, jmo.

Agree, our soft zone D is, and has not worked particularly well for something like seven years…, the problem is that evidently it’s all Sean knows how to implement, and then we don’t have the personnel to have even a chance at making it work, Change has to happen, if not we have gotten as far as Sean’s scheme is gonna go,

We have some good pieces going forward, we need some quality in FA and the draft,🤞 GO BILLS!!!

Reasons and excuses are quite frequently confused I would add having more than two reliable WRs And the inability to see that even Knox is more reliable than Kincaid, making adjustments in personnel use in game is as well an issue, the coaches are not what one would call nimble in their thinking, or scheming, lots of reasons to be pissed off as a fan, lol

The NFL barely cares about the Bills, but if I’m Allen, and I actually win a SB with the Bills, I retire immediately after the game,

No rest for the weary, nicely put together Gunner, you as usual have done your homework,

Beane and McDermott need a reset in all their player evaluation methods. Outside of Allen and Cook and the current O- line they have been middling to poor in most every selection, especially with WRs and D -linemen, I don’t understand that they don’t get that with their continual improvement banter, they can’t be that blind to this issue can they???

That would have required the O line to block effectively on those plays, much the same way as the KC line did,

And that’s quite sad, especially when Josh Allen is your QB,

Sean is unable to come to grips with the fact that his defensive scheme just doesn’t work, he rolls out the same failed scheme every season “thinking” , this time it will be different…, …, and as we all know it won’t be different…, Sean needs to aggressively change what he is doing or graciously step aside, (which has it’s own ramifications) Nothing but respect for how he changed this team for the better, but it’s like QB purgatory, but in our case its HC purgatory, GO BILLS!!!

And how is this a thing?

Well played, Always hoping for the best, GO BILLS!!!

One would think so, but D - line and WRs are not this tandem’s forte in the draft, to much of guys that are a bit to small, and or “have great potential” , because they can play in multiple spots, just draft big nasty SOBs that can collapse the pocket with regularity, and two WRs that are fast can separate and catch the damn ball, it can’t be that hard, lol

I’m cool, a little frustrated that after eight years of the defense failing in the clutch, McDermott and Beane will run back with the same soft zone defense and not go for a fast tall WR…, again…, But as Pink Floyd said, “ desperation is the English way” …, GO BILLS!!!

Decision makers that listen to their scouts? Might help…, that and stop signing 31 year old formerly good players, especially for big money, and multiple years, gotta get these guys as they come into their prime, not as they are leaving it,

On defense our issue is a combination of who we have been drafting and what they are being coached to do, we obviously need a different scheme,( because the current one isn’t getting it done) and players that can actually execute the scheme, we need a couple of beasts at DT, bigger stronger faster LBers, bigger faster safeties, and CBs that can play man coverage at the drop of a hat. It’s been eight years of our soft zone defense, could just be me, but I’m thinking it’s time for a change. Oh, and cut Elam immediately, lol On offense, WRs that can separate, and an OC that knows how to use them, and RBs within the same offensive scheme, just my opinion. GO BILLS!!!

Add to that, we need bigger stronger faster guys on the defense too,

At one point I was done with the Bills seventeen years in a row…, GO BILLS!!!

I did see Josh roll his eyes at least once, so you have a valid point,
