i agree, our special teams are cheeks. unrealiable punts and coverage, bojack messing up holding the ball, and foolish returns leading to penalties, fumbles, etc. our punt return has been good this year, but they shizzat the bed on tuesday (well, the returner did, maybe not on punts).

you know you are a die hard bills fan and 2bd'er when you have never lived in buffalo but just the first two words on that screen cap made you burst out loud laughing!

does anyone know why he simply does not participate in special teams? like, can he not be coached up to contribute? old man lorax was on ST at least some of the time, certainly AJ doesn't get winded or not have the running range that lorax did.

consistently sucking azz in the 3rd quarter is a coaching issue. we seem to script up solid plans on O to start the game, going back to the houston playoff game, but once the smoke and mirrors wear off we revert to a low mean. on D, aside from injuries it just seems like the scheme is too predictable. there is a game of rock paper scissors in every down, and we just can't seem to win it consistently, especially in the 3rd quarter.

clowney would have been a huge get for this team. that 2nd year late pick (johnson?) and epenesa are basically trash. last night we had too many holes on the roster, lacking at RB, TE, LB, CB and DE. those are too many weak spots vs a balanced and strong team like Ten.

he has bad hands. great athlete with poor college production due to a lethal lack of the most important skill for his position. i could see him bouncing around to other teams and becoming a better player in the future, but not particularly likely

agreed, i was thinking we could replace him, but clearly we have not. we've lost too much impact on the DL, and our LB position is just weak. ironically, our run d is better this year, even with the rams trash game. our pass d has fallen off a cliff.

well, i have to remind myself of the old adage "it's never as good or as bad as you think it is". i agree, we just don't have big and physical players (vs Ten who just rumble all night long) and our back ups and new DL have really sht the bed. with tre white kinda falling off (perhaps been hurt all year) we just don't have difference makers out there. we do have to remind ourselves tho, overall our d has been outstanding over the past 3 years. i do feel like that since the second half of the texans game, it seems like they are always playing desperation, they need to fly to the ball and make big plays to have an impact, but they don't suffocate and choke the O, instead they are kinda like a cowboy holding onto a bull, just trying to make it to 8 seconds. that said, the titans O didn't exactly light the world on fire against us, we lost due to special teams and turnovers (their average start was insane, ours was bad) and just way way too many mistakes. we had them stopped a few times, but a penalty, or just blown assignment let them convert 3rd downs. just a badly prepared unfocused team. i really really hope we get this right vs kc

i'd say he is above average, but you aren't wrong. he's not some stud. honestly, between our scheme on D and the people we have added and drafted lately, we have the reason for why our d fell from near the top in the nfl to horrible. i think our scheme works when all parts are working, but any cracks in the dam and we just fall apart. we aren't anti-fragile!

the injuries and the odd week may have doomed us to a loss the whole way though, but this team was very poorly coached last night. constant mistakes, we had what, 5 or 6 false starts, two or 3 on one of our only good drives? drops, guys on D totally out of position, off sides. these are the mark of an unprepared team. vrabel at this point is simply a better head coach than mcd. i really hope mcd can turn it around, but we were beaten schematically and in terms of preparation. the pats were missing their qb, and were able to play (albeit in losses) very good teams close in high profile games. they are missing talent from last year and still got their guys ready to ball.

Ya, neither are impact players. Being solid starters would make them still good picks but they ain't there, not consistently. Edmunds has been just trash this year. Cheeks

With the injuries I can accept a loss in this game. But the way the team played, sloppy, mistake after mistake, and our d got exploited badly shows me the better coaches were on the other side of the field. Bad scheme, no adjustment, and not focussed. Seen this too many times from clappy. Hope he proves me wrong in 6 days

I'll give him the kc game, but if that's another sh show, I'm calling mcd a chump coach. How fourth year here, his fourth year getting at least one awful blow out where we lost getting off the bus.

Team was depleted, but flat out came unprepared. Our d is schematically falling short time and time again. Josh messed up more than he has all year, and lots of rusty looking plays. Lets see if mcd can turn this around next week, but another bs performance and I'm starting to think he's not all that as a coach. We've been blown out badly a few times too many

Edmunds isn't a starter on more than a handful of teams

What I'm saying is people were making our roster out to be great, but we have too many positions with either no depth or no impact

The talent level is not as high on this team as we (I) made it out to be. Milano is good, but not great, edmunds is looking trash, dl has depth but no difference makers, zero depth at cb, and te and rb ain't great either. Oline is average

Another flag. This team is coached to have big let downs way too often

This team just didn't show up. First sign of adversity and we fuggin fold

Same old bills

Awful awfulbl play, and looks like a foul

Getting smoked on the average start, basically the game, if course a huge bit of that was roberts deflecting a ball into the dbs hands

Team is playing really bad so far. This d is trash.

Our d lacks depth, and I think our dl losses are really hurting. Of course, being down our two cbs and best lbs hurts. Josh has been pressing too, he really needs to snap out of it

I love the pma. I'll admit it, the team looks depleted and overly hyped up/pressing to me
