Details my friend, details. NFL got what they wanted and the referees have no eye for details.
No. Both teams had the ball. A field goal wins the game.

Well, then there was Ronald Darby. Couldn't develope him, so he was traded. Still in the league I think. So, your argument isn't solid imho.
Except that the Bills were trying to gain draft picks and Darby netted them more than he was probably worth to a team that can develop corners.

We have always been one of the worst tackling teams in the McBeane tenure. It might be the type of linebackers we get or the emphasis we place on scheme and coverage over basics like sound tackling. It's usually hard to find fault with a defense that has been among the top 5 but that is definitely a thing and since the first 2 games this year, it had become a team wide phenomenon.
Joe Marino listed the percent missed tackles of every player - he said we should average about 10-12%. Some like Epenesa are over 50% and most of the team is well over that threshold.

They have regularly been among the 5 worst tackling teams in the NFL in McD tenure. Why is anyone surprised - we have light linebackers and nickel CBs on the field all the time.

This game feels a lot like the Atlanta game last year. We won but it felt grimy. It's ok. We have a lot to work on still but I'd rather be firing on all cylinders at the end of the season.

For the most part this defense has been pretty solid tackling this year.
Chalk it up to some decent skills by the GB runningbacks and a bit of rust from the bye.
Actually, no.
Joe Marino pointed out on his podcast that since the first two games, the tackling has been near the bottom of the league. We just get away with it because we've made some big impact plays on defense via sacks and turnovers.
Poor tackling is unfortunately a hallmark of this defense - and we're still pretty damn good. You can see how good we'd be if we also were a good tackling defense.

I still would have liked them to hold all the receivers at the line with 5 second left.

Important tidbit from these reports: Tre White is out at least 4 games due to starting out on the PUP/reserve list.
Realistically, he's probably not playing a full role till week 7 after the bye. He won't start practicing with the team until after week 4.
And I think that's ok.

Can somebody explain me that Mancz thing? I thought from all the reports that he was a lock.
I still think he comes back after all the moves are done. I think it's just roster shuffling with injuries.
-
Behind paywall but a good read on what he's had to overcome to still be fighting for a job on the Ravens some 6 years after he was drafted.

Yea he looks good against send and third string.
Yah, compared to last week when he played with second stringers against the Colts first team.

Camp body. I hope he never has to see the field in any game that counts. Bates is bad, but Mancz is still worse. If we don't seriously upgrade the right side of our OL, we could get Josh killed back there.
I don't think you fully appreciate the effect Bates had on the offense once he came in. The Bills were hoping to go cheap but if they lose him, we're definitely going to have to consider drafting a starter in the first couple rounds. That's not nothing.

Holy smoke. That division is bananas!

I'm ok with getting Hughes back. He'll cost less than half of Jones. His pressure percentage was 11th best in the league. If the new-look middle forces the pocket to collapse, he'll get more sacks. Hughes for 5mil > Jones @ 15mil. Plus we know he's good in the locker room.

Callahan's the guy we should target. Supremely talented (I think had the best coverage grades of any CB last year) but gets nicked up.

As much as I like the idea of Hunter and Gronk, I'd be perfectly happy if we somehow got Jones and Engram. Jones is solid as a rock as a pass rusher (his availability compared to Hunter along with not giving up draft choices is key) and I think the Bills can get him for 30m over 2 years. Engram (I think 14m over 2 years would get him) could play the slot role that Beasely did -maybe not quite as prolific, but with more speed and physicality. I also didn't realize that Engram played with Knox in college so there's a level of familiarity there.

Listening to Joe Marino's podcast, he was going through a bunch of first round players with off-the-charts traits that might fit into the BIlls' idealized picks.
He then talked about a 3rd-4th round player he's been watching for a while. Troy Andersen from Montana State. 6'4", 235. He won Freshman of the year in the Big Sky conference primarily as a running back. He played quarterback his sophomore season and was again! first team all-conference. He then realized that if he was going to make it as a pro he'd need to switch positions. He became a linebacker and again was first team all-conference. And this past year (with just a year under his belt at a new position) he became the National FCS defensive player of the year! While he's still learning the position, he may be the perfect guy to groom on special teams for a year. Expected to run sub-4.6 forty. Smart. Great fundamental skills with regard to tackling and pass rush potential. Very raw as might be expected. And as a 3rd-ish round prospect, it might be the perfect place to pick someone who would take over for Edmunds in a year.

I'd like to use this thread for non-first-round Bills fits.

I'm no fan of Murray but most of his regression occurred after his top receiver went down. Even with that, I let him play out his contact or sit out.
