BuffaloBillsForever Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) With the exception of Corey Graham who has been terrific, we do not have a viable CB opposite of him. McKelvin is getting torched again for big plays, Gilmore is a holding machine, average in coverage and atrocious in the open field. I like Robey, great tackler/playmaker but overall his size is a concern. Brooks is simply depth. Was Graham hurt today? Didn't see him much out there.

I don't know how much time was missed, it was in the 3rd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big C Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I would like to know if Robey was benched or if they just swapped him out because he was way outsized today. Brooks looked OK today. Made at least one good hit. Gilmore and McKelvin have been lousy this year. They better get it together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McKelvin has been terrible pretty much his entire career and Gilmore has been simply average and starting off the 2014 year in an atrocious fashion. These guys need to pick up their game big time.

Badasss Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 (edited) I'd expect more from a couple of 1st round draft picks. Edited September 21, 2014 by Badasss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillsMagic1 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 New rules make all CBs look bad., except our QB won't throw passes anywhere near our WRS past 3 yrds downfield . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Formerly Allan in MD Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 Gilmore has always been "the comer," except there's a point where you become "the loser." The way he's (not) playing, he's clearly reached that point. Oh, this will draw the response that "he"s still young" and whatever. But either you've got it or you don't; he appears to be the latter. McKelvin had one flash in the pan season and now he's back to being terrible and a liability on defense. Graham did get hurt in the first half but came back. Yes, he's the only corner playing anywhere near decent ball. We need to look for another free agent next year or find a top notch corner who falls to number 2, unless a top notch quarterback falls that far.

Freddie's Dead Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I'm not ready to write these guys off just yet. Philip Rivers is a top 5 QB with weapons. Next week we play Fitz, who threw three picks today and lost to the hapless Giants. I like our chances at 3-1. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

These guys need to pick up their game big time. Worst unit on the field: Giving up big plays all day. http://www.billsdaily.com/gameday/2014/sd/grades.shtml Goats Stephon Gilmore - Missed a handful of tackles in the game. Nickell Robey - Was beaten for a couple of big plays early before heading to the bench. Leodis McKelvin - Was beaten for a long play and was late in coverage on several occasions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dragonborn10 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 San Diego is a great team. Great DB's give up plays all the time in this league. The rules are too one sided. DB's need a pass rush and there was none today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slipkid Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I would like to know if Robey was benched Robey was rubbed out and burnt on San Diego's first drive for 50+ yards. I didn't see much of him after that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 I watched the corners the whole game. They rotated time.....Gilmore was bad, can't tackle, especially on the run. McKelvin does tackle OK....Graham rotated in id 2 d qrt, and played the rest of the game. Yes, they got beat long....the CB's weren't the whole problem.......Graham at safety when Williams went out...so, all 3 CB's on the field then.

PolishDave Posted September 21, 2014 Share Posted September 21, 2014 San Diego is a good team on offense no doubt. But the Bills secondary didn't show up like they should have today....Embarrassing...Gilmore flat out sucked. The score could have been a lot worse. San Diego took it easy on us late in the game. They could have put up one or two more TD's in my opinion. Of course the penalties sure helped them when throwing deep. Wonder why the Bills didn't do more of that.....

mountainwampus Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Losing patience with Gilmore especially. He's healthy so what's the excuse? He looked extremely slow out there, both in pass coverage and pursuing runs. Everyone was running by and away from him. I don't think his heart is in it.

I don't know what that excuse is either but I would describe his play in the open field as very soft against the run and pass. What I saw in coverage today was just merely average, replacement level type play. Each year in the league he has been horrible early on in the season. So who knows.

billsfanmiami(oh) Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 Gilmore sucks. I can't understand why we always hear this "he's a shutdown corner" stuff from even the national media. These fools must not watch the games because I just can't ever recall thinking "yup that's why we picked this guy". I kept holding out hope he would smack us in the face with some great play but it's obviously not in the cards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
harv shitz Posted September 22, 2014 Share Posted September 22, 2014 I have been preaching this the passed two seasons. Leodis is simply terrible. Yes, he had 13 tackles against the Bears, but 12 of them were after the guy he was covering made a catch and he finally makes the tackle. He plays chase every game, and gets lit up every game. As for Gilmore, he has shown nothing to warrant the high pick that was used on him, another one of Buddy's great choices. Nix and his scouting department did nothing to improve this team.
