Never understood why all 53 can't suit up for a game!

I wanna believe that Palmer, Moore and Samuel can scoot down field just fine...are they being called on to do that though?

Am I the only one out here that thinks Cooper was a bust??? I feel like the only reason most dont b*tch about him is that he only cost us 800K. He didnt look like he was interested in playing football, and while he did have a couple of great catches, he added very little imo.

While I agree with your point for the most part, with the exception of the Jets game, the Bills have not really looked crisp or stout in all 3 phases of the game...thats the reason I am concerned. Individuals who we counted on time and time again don't seem to have the same abilities just one season later. Something is missing. I know many want to blame the receiver room but I think we have plenty of talent there...and yet we still look like we cant throw the ball downfield. The defense has definitely been spotty, getting pushed around, missing tackles, bad angles, etc, etc etc. We are in desperate need of a CB2 and even CB1 has been less than his usual stellar self. Taron Johnson and Taylor Rapp seem lost or hesitant. Everyone wanted to blame Cole Bishop early on but he seems like he is the only one in the secondary that has been progressing week to week. I know injuries are a concern right now but every team deals with that. My amateur opinion is that we need to simplify the defense so we can put good athletes into our system and they can be effective from the get-go. We have a habit of recycling past players cuz they know the 'system'! That doesnt seem to be working out very well. While I do expect players to get better with each game, I am concerned about the mistakes just doing the fundamentals.

Bernard has been pushed around and out of position more this year than I can remember. Sure, he makes a great play here and there, but he has a hard time shedding someone blocking into him.

As far as Shakir goes, does anyone else think we are hurting ourselves having someone back there just fair catching punts??? Obviously, I dont wanna see Shakir get hurt bu maybe Samuels or Moore might be better suited to try and get some yardage on the punts. Not saying they are more expendable than Shakir, but.... To be fair, Bernard, Johnson, Rapp and Benford haven't been exactly stellar either!

Spector is middle of the road but the best ability is availability...thats where he has fallen short. Even the staunchest Bills fan who loves them some Matt Milano is starting to see that his lack of availability has become a huge detriment. No one on here is mad...just as you are entitled to your opinions, so is everyone else...as long as it stays clean. I have not read any angry or mad posts. We all love our Bills...and we will never all agree on the direction or decisions that the team is making. Bu we all gotta agree that our eyes have shown us that 4 out of the 5 games so far have not been up to our, or the teams, standards or what we have come to expect. Hopefully each week the team will get crisper and more sound, but in my opinion, with the exception of Cook, individual play from other Bills has been subpar I hate to see anybody lose their job, but coming in the next few weeks are gonna be a handful of roster cuts to make room for the additions. I'd rather Spector not be taking one of those PS spots that a cut guy could get.

You're right...I stand corrected.

I wasnt insinuating that we go get a CB for the PS. I was insinuating that our attentions are more urgent to get a corner on the 53 man roster sooner than later. We are down to 3 on the 53 man plus Dane Jackson on PS. We have a bigger supply of LB's right now on both the 53 and PS. Tre is getting torched and even Benford doesnt seem to be the same guy. To add a rostered corner plus add Hoecht and Ogunjobi next week we will need to cut 3 rostered players. Hopefully, those players can be added to the PS. But that will be harder if Spector is taking a slot already

No one is looking to be mad about any old thing...the team has not looked sharp at all in any game this season. Fans are just wishing and hoping to see that management and coaching might be taking the best steps to make progress down the road. My whole point is that instead of Spector, I see cornerback as a much more immediate area of concern.

if you need vets around for the younger guys then make them coaches...PS is for development and insurance imo

good one...laffed out loud!

It is when we only have 3 active cornerbacks on the roster!! And the top 2 are struggling !

especially if they know how to tackle!

I feel like the Bills have not always been forthcoming with all the injury news this season. As for your point, it wouldn't surprise me if we see Milano and Williams down for weeks or actually go on IR. So your future might be closer than we think! And I know many past employees that I have worked with that would be better left never heard from again!

Have we considered that this complicated defense might be a tad too complicated even for our current lineup of players??? ...and how has that worked out for us so far???

I get tired of hearing that we love to bring back guys that know the system. All this talk about how complicated the defense is to learn. Obviously, its not working. Maybe its time to simplify things so that almost any talented athlete can be brought in and fit right in. I never hear any other teams talk about how complicated it is to step into their defensive scheme.

Kinda befuddled by bringing back Spector. Whats the point of adding another linebacker that cant stay healthy? We already have several other PS backers in the mix, including Keonta Jenkins, who seems able to fill in at LB depth rather admirably. The glaring and obvious need is some help at cornerback. Its become obvious that even a healthy Tre White is not gonna cut it at CB2. Ingram is the remaining healthy option. I dont understand how we can go into any game with only 3 healthy corners. The math aint mathin!

Quinton Morris is a Jag...wasnt resigned by the Bills in the past offseason. He was cut this week and is on the Jag's PS

The blocked punt was hardly Martin's fault!

Am I wrong to assume that the NFL has an independent neurologist be the one to clear a player from concussion protocol? It cant just be the coaches saying "OK kid, you're good to go!"

from Hornell originally...went to SUNY schools

...and his son Luke is following in his Mafia footsteps

We had a spot open because of the Mike White signing to the 53 last week, but does anyone know who got cut from the PS for the new LB?

Pretty sure Zach Davidson has been called up 3x as well.
