KOKBILLS

Well...That was interesting...

Yep...

I don't claim to be an expert...but something is obviously up...I agree they don't seem to be getting much pressure...But it also looks like opposing QB's all too often know exactly where to go with the ball before the snap...They are identifying the weaknesses in our Defense too easily...At least that's the way it looks...I think whatever Schwartz and Pettine were doing...it was confusing QB's pre-snap MUCH more than Rex has...And the hesitation gave our D-line enough time to get the sacks... There is not much scientific about this...But I just get the feeling that all too often opposing Offenses have caught on to Rex...I don't know...I think the possibility that Mario, Hughes, Kyle, and Dareus all got old at the same time is far less likely...I do know that Rex does not like to rotate out the D-line like Schwartz did and maybe these guys are just wearing down fast...Schwarz came with a full 2nd team D-line (Lawson, Bryant, Wynn, Charles) and they played a lot in 2014 combining for 9 sacks and 45 tackles...That's like an extra VERY good D-lineman...I think the rotation kept our stars fresh...It made a difference...

Regardless of what system is being run I think it's pretty obvious Rex has come in here and messed up a VERY good thing... 111 sacks in 2013 and 2014 combined...That's 3.46 per game under Pettine and Schwartz... 11 in 7 games under Rex dropping almost 2 sacks per game (1.57)... Look...I'm not going to sit back and blame this Defense for all the Bills problems...But when you come out and talk about being one of the best Defenses of all-time...Then you clearly regress with the same players...Well... I had to sit through a full week after that Cincy game listening to Buffalo media talk about how incredible that Cincy Offense was, and how they were 2nd only to the Pats...And how they had so many great players on Offense they were all but un-defendable...Then yesterday I watch a VERY average Pittsburgh Defense...a Defense that is 26th in yards allowed...all but shut down that incredible Cincy Offense at home mostly by putting pressure on the QB...They held Cincy to 6 points until the 2:57 mark of the 4th Quarter!!! The unstoppable Cincy Offense...Right... Anyway...I really hope we can stop making excuses for Rex...He's screwed this Defense up and he needs to fix the damage he's done...Period...End of story...

Looks about right...

Honestly...even though we're all a little frustrated with the injuries this year...had Sammy not made the comments he did this year I don't think many Bills fans would be questioning him...He's very clearly a talented young WR...You just can't win if you're Sammy by saying (and writing) the things he did...

This is SO true!!!

I think...unfortunately...it would take some major optimism to think the Bills still have a chance at the Playoffs... It's going to take a hell of a run...I just don't think they have it in them this year...We'll see...Anything is possible...

Sammy is a good kid...I really think he's good to his core... But he's also frustrated...He was touted as the next great thing at WR in the NFL and as of yet he has not been able to live up to that for a variety of reasons...Add to that he's had to sit back and watch the entire NFL media fawn all over OBJ...The injuries...The Bills QB situation...Game plans...Etc... I'm surprised Sammy did this...I kind of feel like it's beneath him...But...It's Buffalo Bills Football...So...I guess I should expect the unexpected... Unless the unexpected is the Playoffs of course...

I know your account is new...But that last sentence just proved how new it is...

That might be true had they not done the improbable and come back to actually take the lead... It was a brand new game after the Bills went up 4...And the PI call was an absolute killer...

In all seriousness... F*** Marrone... Every time I remember that he walked out on this Franchise I smile because that's how much I hated that idiot...and how happy I was to see him go...He made my dream come true...

Wow... If that's not a testament to how the Bills have underachieved through 7 games I don't know what is...

I just think it's too early to speculate... I was definitely in favor of the Rex hire...But I did have concerns...Rex had me convinced that he had learned valuable lessons in NY...I made a HUGE leap by thinking that meant he would come in and be more of a HC, and not try to fix what was not broken...The minute I read that Schwartz would not be back I got a little nervous...My biggest fear with Rex was that he would mess up a good thing on Defense...Not all schemes match personnel, and it's SO hard to get a good match nowadays...For whatever reason Schwartz's scheme and coaching worked with the 2014 Defense and the personnel...Obviously Rex felt he could improve upon that...And to this point it looks like he was wrong... BUT...It's still only 7 games...And the injuries on Offense have been ridiculous...Just insane...How can we really judge what the potential of this team is knowing the decimation on Offense due to injury?...Should the Bills come out of the bye week with TT, McCoy, Karlos Williams, Sammy, Henderson, and Harvin all healthy...and then thump Miami...I think it's going to be pretty clear how much these injuries have affected the team overall... I'm far from giving Rex a vote of confidence...But I think it's too early to hang him as well... I really don't know about Whaley...I like him at times...And no GM is perfect...But I did not like the Watkins trade much (though I love Watkins...healthy Watkins that is)...I'm just never in favor of giving up premium Draft picks unless you're getting a QB in return...That being said I think he's done some good things too...It's a mixed bag, and he is still pretty young...I don't know...We'll see...

Exactly... Honestly...I think Rex's system is just messing with the front 4...For whatever reason...I'm not trying to say I know the answer as to why...I am saying I don't think the D-line has bought into Rex's system whatsoever...

Good grief the arguments around here lately... I really don't think it matters who called who...It was a good trade for the Bills...Not a great trade...But a good, sound, football decision-type trade...Especially considering Kiko has had some injury issues dating back to College...And there was no telling how well he would come back... The Bills were returning Brown and Bradham who both had REAL good years in 2015...And they had a viable back-up in Ty Powell...Kiko was expendable...At least if you're running Schwartz system he was... The Bills had Freddie and Bryce Brown...McCoy is a HUGE upgrade from those two...There's really no disputing that...So can we all just forget about it and move on?...McCoy is seriously about the last thing wrong with this team right now...

He's a train, plane, and car wreck combined... Plus it's been reported the guy is a terrible teammate/leader... No thanks...

Even if you believe EJ can improve...which is certainly debatable in itself...what is crystal clear is that TT > EJ...So...

I don't know... Maybe I'm missing something but I don't remember many people openly hoping for TT to fail... There's always a couple idiots... But most Bills fans, even EJ supporters, are behind TT 100%...

I don't disagree... But it's the rollout to that side that kills EJ... It's just too much for him to do consistently... He's inaccurate as it is... Now you're rolling him to the left asking him to roll,set his feet, and make a good throw on a pretty quick route... At the very least Roman should have known it's too much to ask of EJ...

Fair enough... But still...

What league do you watch? That gets called 100% of the time... He made contact with the QBs head... It's automatic...
