Bishop looking rough

Teams scheme up easy passes against us like it's nothing

Josh needs to start running the ball again

Hollins cost us 4 points. Go get a damn WR.

Cook came to play

That was horrendous tracking by Hollins my god

Good job pissing away field position

Must get points with this field position

The offense just doesn't have playmakers

Coleman and Benford The Bills scheme up Coleman a few times. Benford locks down Nico. Idk if we win but..

Cook and Allen will need to combine for 200 on the ground. Would like to see an aggressive defense on Sunday. No point in rushing 4

Anything?

I'd take Baker over Adams but we don't get either. I don't know what the right answer is. I hate "reset" years with elite QB's

So much depends on the defensive line. They got annihilated by Baltimore.

Our dominant pass rush is screwed!

12-5 with wins over the 49ers/Chiefs, at least one loss where we look like we did against the Ravens, and one totally baffling loss against a weak team. Win the division. Win the wild card game. I'll stop there

Safety is too important in McD's system. But I'm hopeful Bishop and Edwards can actually fill that role.

As always it depends on the price. The Raiders don't really appear to have much leverage here. Adams seems to have no issue with just sitting out with an "injury". But I'm not moving valuable assets for him. But more importantly, I'm not taking next year's actual cap space to get him by doing a bunch of restructures.

Generally willing to sit anywhere but looking for two for the October 20th game. PM me please and thank you

I've been disappointed in Ed this season. I'm a huge fan and I know at his position, you do things that don't always stand out. But I expected more

The backups looked like backups last night. - He's a great story and I do think he's a capable NFL player but Hamlin is not a NFL starter. When you're going against Trevor Lawrence or Tua, you can get away with it. When you're going against top tier quarterbacks and offenses, your safety play has to be better. And he was also just caught out of position too frequently. - The linebackers at least have some hope with Bernard coming back. Maybe Milano comes back too but you can't count on that. But Bernard/Williams is just so different than Williams/whoever - The defensive line LOOKED like it was full of backups last night and that's the most disappointing thing to me. Going against a weakened offensive line and you can't pressure the quarterback or slow down Henry before he hits the second level. If you aren't pressuring the quarterback and you give him time, you'll always find holes in our zone defense especially without Taron. - The corners were fine I guess. Hard to cover guys for as long as they had to when our line couldn't get pressure and the safeties were our of position. We needed them to make a big play or two though. - We got out coached and outschemed on the defensive side too. Offensively man I think the two punts by McD were HUGE decisions that killed us. You're playing the Ravens in Baltimore in primetime. Don't give them the ball back for free. I also think we stopped using motion to our advantage and Brady was way too predictable. I don't mind the underneath passing approach with a run game to support it but we didn't do anything to give the Ravens confusing looks. Coleman dropping that deep ball was also killer. I won't even start on the trick play. Everything went wrong last night and if two or three decisions/plays go different, you're still in the game despite the final score. I'm not worried. But that can't happen again. Good teams bounce back. Houston is a tough game on the road but you have to bounce back.

This one is actually on me guys. Last night was my anniversary and my wife told me I need to make a decision on priority. Going out to dinner with her or the game. I chose dinner and was late getting back. We always lose when I don't watch all 60 minutes.

I do agree with this generally. And McD coached like it too. Multiple punts in situations where you have to trust Josh Allen to get you 1-2 yards. Especially when your defense can't stop anything. Maybe I'm naive or just feeling extra optimistic today but I'm willing to say it was a short week on the road against a team who felt like they needed it more and that it won't be a regular occurrence. But we better show up next week in Houston. I will say though, the defensive backups really looked like backups last night. The disappointing thing for me is I know they aren't quite as talented physically but the amount of times our defensive guys were just out of place last night was horrid. And the defensive line is healthy but they basically looked worthless last night. Hard to win without a pass rush when your back 7 is 5 backup caliber players.

Honestly I'm just chalking this one up as "one of those games". They looked unprepared in every facet of the game from backups to starters to coaches. That's not acceptable at all but sometimes it just happens I guess. How they respond will be key.

Zero pressure and holes in the famed zone
