KOKBILLS

Bills will be a new D next Monday...But that does not have to be a bad thing...If Oliver continues his upward progression, Star comes back, and the DE's do their part it could solve a ton of the fallout from Tre's injury...The Bills have plenty...PLENTY of talent on D...And realistically, it's going to be on the Offense more than the Defense anyway...We've always known that... I have no idea what to expect from Dane, but the Bills Secondary is one of the most talented units in the NFL...And talented units thrive on competition...So I'm guessing Jackson will be OK...Not Tre of course...But OK... I really don't know what they are going to do, but as soon as I heard Tre was gone my guess was McCloud would eventually be the #3...

I said this (basically) right after the Playoff loss to KC... On Offense...It's not about being a more balanced necessarily...It's about having a functional running game that opposing Defenses have to respect...That goes hand in hand with an O-Line that struggles in run blocking, and backs that lack that next level ability...Not much of this seems fixable right this second. Seems more personnel based (IMHO)...I'm saying that because McD has all but endorsed the strategy itself. So I think, they think, they are addressing this actual area in practice and game plan. Only to get poor results... On Defense I was a BIG proponent of improving the DT position. I assumed Star was coming back, but to be honest I viewed every other DT outside of Oliver as a potential area of improvement...ESPECIALLY vs the Run...I know Joe Marino was on to this line of thinking. The Bills could have pretty easily Drafted a DT into this mix...One perfect example is a guy I liked for them, Tedarrell Slaton, who went #173 overall...To me a guy like that on day 3 just makes sense...Great size and decent athletic ability to work on...But they went 2 DE's, 2 OT's in their 1st 4... Like I said yesterday...Based on what I see from a completely unscientific viewpoint...The Bills seem to need an off season in these next 3 days...It quite literally looks that bad...Obviously it's not...The Bills have the talent to get buy and tweak it all the way to a SB if things broke well from here on out...But then again there seems to be a disconnect with the coaching and strategy that was not there last year...It's just...Weird to be honest...

Agreed... They had zero injuries...zero at QB...RB...WR (well Cole a bit but he looked OK)...TE...LT...DE...S...or CB...None... They got stomped...Trampled... McD is going to have to eat this one...It's on him big time...

I mean... The way they are playing now? It's bad...

Yep...It's really bad... And even when we get one it will likely get overturned by a penalty...

That was a very uniquely terrible performance... The amount of things that went bad today could fill half a season... They need to get healthy quick...Not that it's an excuse because there is zero excuse for what they did on the field today as a team...But they need everyone to have any real chance...For sure... I also think the coaching is coming up real, real bad...No sustained answers when they are challenged with obstacles...Just really poor...Did they think Wentz was going to beat them today in the rain? Or that Reich would run it down their throats with JS repeatedly?...I know what I thought... And WTF with the penalties?...Especially on 3rd down...Good grief... Honestly...They need another off season these next 3 days...

Look...We can say what we want about the injuries... But... We're basically minus a starting MLB, DT, and RT...Not a QB...Not a WR...Not a RB...Not a DE, and not a CB... There's really no excuse for this...or what happened in Jacksonville...We all know it...This team has an avalanche effect when it's going bad...The things I saw today were inexplicable...That was a freaking joke... And also, we really want that open air stadium? Okey doke...

Frazier calling that 3rd Down penalty D again I see...

That was about as bad as you can get...

Wow... I actually allowed myself to think we could go into the half only down by 3... Oh well...

They sure as heck seem to think WR screens are the answer... They're not btw...At least not the way the Bills run them...

Wow...

Our O-line better find their manhood...Fast...

The jags were seriously just assuming a flag would be thrown on that 3rd down... And they should...

Getting a little extra helping of the humble pie this week I guess...

Why would you decline that penalty? Seriously...The upside is it's a 55 yd attempt. But those are made plenty in the NFL. Before he even tried it I'm thinking we just gave them 3 points.

Embarrassing half...

Wow.. Well...How a Josh Allen led Offense is dependent on getting a call instead of 4 lousy yards is well beyond my ability to understand at this point... But here we are...

This Offense is completely flat...Just...Flat...

That was some real bad play calling...Just terrible. It's like he's afraid to pass against them? WTF?

Look...Call it over-critical. But I am not running the ball 2nd and Goal from the 10 when Josh Allen is my QB and I have Knox, Diggs, Beasley, and Sanders... Nope...

The Bills are playing D like it's their ball...

Go Bills!

Well... The Chiefs best play on Offense all night is the automatic 1st Down due to penalty...That's hard to argue... I mean...They've made some other plays...But still...
