Panthers are not scared of the Bills. They've watched the last two nationally televised games. They (the Panthers) know exactly what's coming. So all, what happens if the Bills lose Sunday? My thoughts, nothing. Watch some film.

After watching the 49'ers a couple of times and then the Lions who both have been killed by injuries, you would have never known they had several starters out. So to me it's about the coaching. Head coach, DC (do we have one?) and the other supporting coaches. I've said it before where the players have changed, the coaches have not. I think we can smell the elephant in the room.

Seeing that the defensive issues are not just a 2025 problem (carry over from 2024 and maybe 2023), the issue goes deeper than non-leadership (talking about you McDermey and Babich in regards to non-leadership). You really have to look at the supporting posse - line coaches, WR coaches, DB coaches, etc., the whole lot of them. It's obvious these guys are not doing a very good job. Our players are not being developed. The cast of characters (players) have changed but the results are the same. Your taught in early math class to identify the common denominator. Well, we can see it. It's been stated numerous times we do not have a championship caliber defense so it's not happening this year folks. So prepare now and don't be shocked come January (or maybe sooner). I'd have Babich packing is bags ASAP and continue to weed out the low performing coaches as well.

OK so we'll watch some film. Learn from our mistakes. Need more complimentary football. Rinse and repeat. You will not see any improvement in this team until Babich is gone. Not sure what high school league they got him from. Every week its the same thing. We have the worst run defense (we demonstrated that tonight). Pass defense has got to be near the bottom as well. Lead the league in missed tackles. No worry on losing that title after tonight. But like I said, we'll watch some film, learn from our mistakes, need more complimentary football. Rapp and Bishop - worthless. Need 1 more to add so we have the three stooges.

Needs to stop doing f'n commercials.

Do we have safeties?

Time for Beanie baby to earn his money.

I may be totally off base here and this may have already been discussed. So I'm sitting here watching the Eagles Giants game and was blessed by four tushy pushies in a row, two in which should have had penalties called for false starts, thinking there must be an easy way to counter this. So....if my ever fading memory is correct, you cannot block below the knees. So if I'm the defense, you don't hunker down on the line helmet to helmet, you stand up. Then when the offensive line blocks downward at the ankles\knees,.....penalty! Plain as day. Also, since Hurts (or any other QB) is basically going over the top of the lines, by standing up, you meet him head on as they are called for an illegal block. Maybe I'm missing something. Now back to the game.

"Our D is getting pummeled this year and when we face a good team like the Pats and the Falcons, it's gonna be a long night." - No worries. We're watching the film and adding ex Bills players to the practice squad. Got it all under control. Please forward to McDermy and Babich. They might not know this.

McDermy and posse watched some film. Not sure if it was on the Falcons. Maybe Gone With the Wind (based in Atlanta for you young kids out there). So we don't prepare for "the Falcons". We go with our generic game plan (aka The Process). Falcons get over 150 rushing. McDermy and Babbi-***** are shocked. Will need to watch more film over the bye week. Maybe sit a few players for the next game for some odd reason. 4 and 2 and behind the Patriots. Hate to say it but this team has shown nothing in the way of improvement. Teams are not scared of the generic game plan. Good game for Atlanta to improve on some stats. Oh, and Beane looks to see if there are any ex-Bills players not on any teams to add to the practice squad. All is good.

And the second part of the equation, Diggs was wide open and caught the low ball. No Bills defender within 5 yards.

You have to remember we are playing with two less defensive players. No Safeties. I've seen it every game where our Safeties are so far back, slow, reactive vs proactive. The opponents players are catching the ball then these guys decide to take an action on the play. I'm sure their being told to play this way.

I think Collinsworth stated it several times last night. The Bills O tells the defense what their going to do. Josh under center - run. Josh shotgun - pass. It's bad enough where we don't prepare specifically for a team each week, we now indicate to them what we will do on offense. But we'll watch some film to prepare for next week.

Funny how this thread started out about Coleman but was taken over again by the elephant in the room. The defense (or lack of) of McDermy and Babich. Call them at 933-7825 (WEE-SUCK). That's 933-7825.

Perfectly said. We'll watch some film.

Because the Bills defensive play sticks out like a extra big zit. 🤣 Got First Things First on in the background. I know, not the sharpest tools in the shed. But guess what they're talking about? The poor play from the Bills defense. Common denominator here.

To add to this, I feel (and could be wrong) that the Bills Babich Bad defense go with the same defensive game plan for every team\game. So there's no surprise to the Bills opponents. Their (the opponent) thinking, "oh we've seen this movie before, no problem. Just what we expected". I don't think they plan for each opponent differently. That's why they always have to make adjustments in the second half. I can just picture the discussion and what Babich is thinking at halftime, "do they have our defensive game plan?". Yea you dumb ass.

McDermy and the Babich posse will be out coached in this one. Here's some additional data to support our sorry run defense. Henry had 169 on the Billls Babich run defense. The next three games Henry was held under 60 yards per game. Saints had 189 yards on the ground. I believe the Bills D is giving up an average of roughly 140 a game. Look for Pats to run the ball up our sorry A D and quick passes. McDermy and Babich will react at some point in the 4th quarter. Stay the course, stay the process, review the film. Pats not scared of our D. We'll be burning our storm front jerseys after this one. Hope I'm wrong but McDermy and Babich have not shown me anything to change my thoughts. On the positive side, we're not worse than the Ravens D.

I'll take the win like others have said but we have a Defense problem. Sorry to say, it won't be fixed. Not with Babich and McDermy. So when the season ends, we will be discussing the non-super bowl level defense. Everyone, and I mean everyone, sees the defense as an issue. Except for McDermy and Babich. Would love to hear someone say to McDermy in a post game that it appears the defense has some serious concerns. I'm sure McDermy will respond with "we'll watch the film". How much Fn film do you need to watch?

Some different players, same results. Common denominator is coaching. McD, Babich, DB coach, etc. If they refuse to change, then they can coach themselves out of a job this year. Hopefully one of them watched the super bowl last year to learn something.

We play man to man but 10 yards from the receiver. Then we back up as they come off the line to increase the distance. No long plays on us but we'll give you 30 plays for 10 to 15 yards.

Agree, Babich setting us up for failure.

I know it's only pre-season, but Babich needs to have these guys prepared. As long as Babich is with us, not making it this year. The D will be our downfall.

I confess. I was down on him. More F bombs then one can imagine. Proved me wrong.

Not going to worry too much about this game. Next week is what really counts. Finishing number 2 doesn't guarantee anything except where you play.
