I’d really like to dumb down the defense, have the CBs play “man up,” physical and close to the line of scrimmage, challenge the receivers. If they get beat physically, so be it, but force the QB to make a good throw and the receiver to make a contested catch. They’re getting beat anyway right now by giving up too much space, receivers are constantly running free in zone without a defender to immediately pop them or break up the pass.

I remember Oweh had ridiculous athletic traits and if I was going DE in round 1 I think I would’ve gambled on him over Rousseau. Glad to be wrong here. Both need to be better pass rushers though.

KC still top 5 after a 2-3 record?

Can’t have enough injury prone players. In all seriousness it makes sense given he knows the system and can step in should Milano miss extended time. Will he play more than a game before getting injured is anyone’s guess.

I don’t remember a fumble, but I do remember a quick slant pass that went off his hands and Ramsey I believe it was picked it off. Would’ve been an easy TD, Keon never seemed the same after that game (and the injury).

Therein lies the rub. Everyone wants a Bonafide #1 WR but I’m not so sure Brady’s passing design would allow that player to go off game after game. Diggs was a very real and viable target under Dorsey, but fell off a cliff once Brady ball took over. Seems like every receiver who comes into this offense is a lesser version of themselves - that includes Palmer, Samuel, and Moore, who all produced decently well elsewhere.

Lack of foot speed, lack of quickness, and a lack of tight coverage.

Another CB that was likely in consideration at our pick - Trey Amos - was all the talk of Commanders camp. Supposedly was looking like a star. I think he got banged up too, but I don’t know how he has fared. We need Max to desperately upgrade the secondary.

It’s the first time that conservative offense has produced multiple turnovers in what I can remember, but I agree 100%. Joe Brady likes to play small ball in a run first oriented offense and only seems to get aggressive when there’s urgency. Let’s throw out bubble screens unless the opposing team is blitzing relentlessly. Let’s attack down the field and in the intermediate. More rub/pick routes if the receivers can’t get open. One of the things about playing against Tom Brady and Belichick’s defense was that both of those units always seemed to be “on.” Their offense was ALWAYS a threat, Belichick’s defense was ALWAYS scrappy and challenged everything. If you beat them it was well earned. I feel like the Bills think they can turn it on when they need to and that’s what concerns me most. They need more of that Belichick Patriot relentlessness throughout the entire game, not only when it’s needed.

I’d like for his intentional groundings to be called. Both were the textbook definition “get rid of the ball ASAP before this player sacks me” type.

Also, you see how the defender stayed on the ground for a second? He was sure he’d be called for PI.

Josh didn’t have the laser-like focus last night. Still made plays to win the game, but Drake made more. Pats deserved the win. I don’t know why Allen has gone back to bailing out of clean pockets. He’s done that a few times in the last couple weeks. Wish he was more like Mahomes and Jackson from that standpoint - run around like a squirrel in the pocket until something breaks downfield, but he’s leaving clean protection which shortens the field and invites the rush.

4-0 with Elijah Moore in the lineup, 0-1 without him.

If I was Babich, Diggs is the one player I wouldn’t have let ruin this game. Cover him underneath and over the top every play. Didn’t get that. Credit to Maye, he made some unbelievable plays, but the Bills deserved to lose. They’ve been sleepwalking for the past 3 weeks - both sides taking turns underachieving.

Gotta stop the high powered New England offense

NO pressure from the front 4

It happens

Nope, face guarding is no longer a flag. Tre didn’t contact Diggs, his defense was fine. Bad flag.

I wonder if Brady tries to audition for other jobs on prime time TV.

Sure, after having success through the air, run a TE jet to Knox. Makes sense

As far as I’ve seen, everyone has acknowledged that Garrett is the better player, he’s the best defender in the league. But Parsons is a monster in his own right. To think otherwise is just hating on him.

Can’t speak for any others, but I haven’t written off any of these players, well maybe except for Dwayne Carter. As to my point, it’s not out of the realm of possibility that a top 100 pick comes in and outperforms a guy who has proven to be a JAG in the league, a backup. Just because the Bills are a perennial SB contender, it doesn’t mean that a day 2 (or day 1) pick has a Herculean task just to get reps. No team is that deep. If the player was a day 1 or day 2 pick, suffice to say the players that he’ll be battling aren’t all pros or even pro bowlers. The concept of development is not lost on me, I was one of the few who never wrote “bust” next to Bishop and Bernard’s names. Don’t use “perennial SB contender” as a reason. Just admit to what it is - the player isn’t ready to contribute in the coaches’ eyes, no matter how marginal the players are ahead of him.

Hindsight is 20/20, but S Xavier Watts in the 3rd would’ve been a great pick. Even the Saints S Jonas Sanker who was everywhere on the field against us would’ve been great. Next offseason S and LB are the areas of focus and also possibly OL with up to 3 starters leaving in 2 years.

On 4th and short I always like QB bootlegs with the option to run or pass to a crosser OR a pick/rub route to free up a receiver.

Yeah, the lack of tackles suggests that either A) Sanders is constantly getting double teamed and washed out of the play or B) he can’t get off his block to get to the ball carrier. And it’s not like he isn’t getting opportunities. Aside from the Jets game, the run defense has been a sieve, as resistant as tissue paper.
