Can someone please find us some linebackers that can tackle !!!

No its actually. Behold, "The Broken and nowhere to be found" Defense folks 🤣

The team has taken a distinct nose dive on raw talent at most of the D positions. This team is more of a cast me off roster from other teams, more than ever before. We sign questionable players that should not even be starting on a SB caliber team.. #27 White to be exact. We sign crap receivers instead of keeping the one that produced more last year than any of the ones we signed this year. #13 Mack Hollins..namely Our Defense is a whole other issue too. We just have no real talent anywhere at LB and in the D backfield. They are terrible athletically, they cant tackle, they cant cover the opponents #1 WR to save their lives. Bishop needs more work but he has potential. I just don't know how to shed the dead weight on this team before the draft deadline. We don't have a single defensive player that can make game changing plays right now. Bosa has been So So, and Oliver is hurt. It is really hard to put together a D to make a difference when your 5 games into the season. We need players that can impact and change a game.....In one play. We don't have them this year.......where are they. Accept for Bishops pick against the Saints and Oliver's forced fumble against Henry and the Ravens. https://www.jaguars.com/video/k000527-highlight-devin-lloyd-intercepts-mahomes-pass-and-takes-it-99-yards-for-the-td Beane has turned into a refuse recycling company, try to reuse everyone else's trash and hope he can dust it off, shine them up a little and think you have new impact player to throw on the field. Not.................

D = Trash #27 = Trash Should have never signed this has been. He is a liability every time he lines up on the field. Babich = Trash Milano = Trash, we have no linebackers at all..... Not even #8 can make up for the horrendous play at the position in 2025. There is not one player on D that should not have their head pulled out of their but after this game. This Defense is the worst group of players I have watched for Buffalo in the last 15 years. Undisciplined, can't tackle, can't defend the run, can't defend the pass and they say this is a Super Bowl team... Noooooooo way in hell is this team a super bowl contender with the quality of the D on this team right now. Suspensions and injuries are part of the game but this D showing was a embarrassment the last two weeks in a row. Sorry had to vent, that was just sorry ass football tonight.

As much as everyone hated Tremaine Edmunds, at least this guy made tackles and big plays on the field... Where is the LB core now.... No Where!! Under sized and under performing players now....This is what we have been reduced too......

They deserve to lose this game today. Terrible play calling on both sides of the ball. The coaches don't have a clue on what the hell they are doing or game awareness. This is flat out a coaching debacle today.

Championship teams don't have a D and Defensive coordinator that are this bad. This D is worse now than Rex Ryan's D were.. Let the flames begin....

The D has been MIA,, Except for a stellar play by Bishop this D has been non existent.

Wow our D.... Ugh We have had no productive LB play in any game so far this year. Its really like we have no one even playing on the field at the position. Unreal. Tre once again holding like he has fly paper on his hands.....

We don't need a kicker, lets just hire this guy. Lol🤣 Good bye MR. Bass-O-Matic

These two preseason games have looked like the pro's vs the amateur's. Our Safeties, even though it is just preseason, have been horrible. Late to the ball, can't cover, no speed. Can't believe they allow this type of game play on the practice field or in a preseason game. There is not a single positive take away from our Safeties this preseason when you are getting beat down by the other team the way we have been so far. Yes we don't want people hurt but wow has this been ugly football, if you are a DB.. or safety. We need to find a stud back there at safety, IMO Bishop and Hamlin are 2nd string all day long. Never liked either as a option to be a potential starter.

Lets hear what you have to say!! Sorry I just enabled replies to the thread...forgot to select that feature.

Agreed, the biggest factor has been our D in the playoff's. By this I mean it has been missing in action every playoff run year after year. This phantom missing "D" has cost us, and all from a defensive minded head coach in charge of this team. Ughh..... How much more of a leash do you give McD anyway. If he can't put it all together and get us there, then he needs to go.

Run Antonio Run !!!!! On his way to the Border......

To be honest Coleman is not the answer. He will do a little better this year but nothing mind blowing. It all comes down to our D Line again. You have to be able to get the opposing QB on the run and sack him. The Eagles did this to KC. We did not. Our team has failed every year in the playoffs because of this lack of D pressure. No QB pressure when it counts in the playoffs equals losses every time. That is why our receivers are so important. If we cant get the opposing team off the field in a single series of downs. We need wide receivers that can make the clutch catches and make YAC yards. Right now Shakir is the only guy that does this. Coleman has no speed and we signed two more receivers to try and come in and make a difference. Elijah Moore & Joshua Palmer. It goes to show that the faith they have Coleman is not what everyone thinks it is. I hated us signing Coleman but that ship has sailed so long ago. All we can do is hope he puts on his superman cape and pulls some sort of miraculous 2nd season performance out of his butt this year, with this team. We just need to find 3 receivers that when we put them on the field together they wreak havoc on the other team's D and DB's. We have not had that in the JA era.

Yes and no, he is important to the team but is he worth 15 Million, no way.. He is no Sequon Barkley or Jahmyr Gibbs by any means. Barkley is a better running back by every metric. Jahmyr Gibbs is a much more explosive back and runner than James. James I believe is a better run after the catch type of guy but he does not have the power of the other two backs I mentioned. But it comes down how he is used in our offence in which he excels. Honestly I think he can be replaced as well, with any top RB coming out of college today, they are all a dime a dozen, and they all have unreal speed and they all can catch the ball. Is 15 million to much yes, 8 to 10 million maybe. This is my opinion and everyone will have a different take on Cook and how he benefits this team as a player. But he is replaceable.

Tre White Veteran cornerback struggles White gave up a pair of touchdowns on the day - the first to Moore and then another to veteran receiver Curtis Samuel. White matched up with most of the Bills speedsters and had a few reps that didn’t go his way. The veteran was brought in to compete for the starting job opposite Christian Benford. It’s just one practice and not worth overreacting to, but there are legitimate concerns about White’s ability to cover fast receivers at this stage of his career. When he did get beat in limited time with the Los Angeles Rams last season, it was usually down the field and while working against a faster player. https://www.syracuse.com/buffalo-bills/2025/05/buffalo-bills-otas-week-1-observations-new-wr-shines-2-rookies-flash.html I still am having a hard time trying to understand why they brought him back at all. He played terrible in LA and with the Ravens.....After his injury recovery. Its only OTA's and he can't keep up with our WR speed....

This guy is constantly a walking injury report.

Because I don't trust Joey Bosa to be answer to our D-Line problems, we still will have Oliver, Epenesa, Groot, all whom did not get any pressure on Lamar. Last years playoff game Lamar had huge INT's & mistakes and some critically timed dropped footballs by his receivers. Same thing happened in the regular season game against them when they squashed us and Henry had 199 yards running all over us on the ground against this D line. Do you really believe just wash, rinse and repeating the cycle this year is going to be the answer for our D-Line pressure problems? We need new blood and personnel combinations on this D-line this year so hopefully our draft picks and new free agents can make a difference this year.

Be careful for what you wish for. The Ravens had one of the better drafts this year to add to their D side of the ball as well. They will be a better team opening day at home then what we played in the playoffs last year. This game at home will not be a gimmee at all. I just hope we did enough on D this year... We are going to need a huge elevation of "D" CB play on this side of the ball this year. We can only wait and see through mini camp and preseason. I think the suspensions of DE Hoecht and DT Ogunjobi could cost us in this game, but this game will be a slug fest for sure.

Yes the 1982 to 1987's was a brutal time for this team to be a fan.... Until the it started to turn it around for them in 1988... Coaching changes, player changes a whole lot of everything going on during these years. This was one major rollercoaster ride being a fan during this time.

The old adage is you can not substitute speed... speed is not replaceable or compensated for. Keon = No Speed and has little else to offer. We all knew it when he was drafted. Now it comes down to this, does he have anything positive to offer this team at WR that can make him a relevant asset. I did not see it in his college highlight clips and I don't see it at the NFL level at all. He is basically a bust right now and has to earn his way back onto this team as a starter. Lets be honest he has a major uphill battle to make this team this year, even getting into the top 5 WR's on this team for him this year will be an accomplishment. 2025 WR room. Wide Receiver (X) (4) Keon Coleman, Tyrell Shavers, Kaden Prather, Hal Presley Wide Receiver (Z) (5) Joshua Palmer, Elijah Moore, Laviska Shenault, Jalen Virgil, Stephen Gosnell Wide Receiver (Slot) (4) Khalil Shakir, Curtis Samuel, K.J. Hamler, Kelly Akharaiyi I still think we need a proven talent to be bought in this year, I just don't know who will become available until after the cuts happen after this years training camps are done.

Our team needs to get better you don't do this by signing a Vet that was released from the team due to major injuries and has been on the decline since he was let go.. Unreal what they are smoking in their pipes at One Bills Drive. Yeah bad move by Buffalo and for wasting money on an non impactful player. The guy is washed... He played like dog 💩even before he got hurt for us and we let him go, he can't tackle worth a damn and when the wind blows to hard and knocks him off his feet, we get blown coverage play after play when he failed to he show up in games prior to his first injury. Yet we sign him again when we could have put that money to better use on the D side of the ball. It is amazing how many player we sign year after year that are over paid and they don't perform up to what salary they get paid. Oh well like you said not my money........

Actually is was our money, we pay the for tickets, and now increased prices, we pay for the merchandise and we pay for other NFL subscriptions that all end up back into the Bills bank account.
