nothing new that I saw 

 

Buffalo did manage to force Rodgers to throw his first interception of the year.

Rodgers fumble was recovered by Kyle.

He was down at one point and trainers were looking at the shoulder - hopefully he’s ok

 

Ryan Lewis dropped a sure pick 6 too - I couldn’t believe when they said Rodgers has only thrown 2 pick sixes his entire career

I believe Johnson came back in after that.

 

And I thought Lewis played a pretty good game too, he got burnt deep near the end but other than that I thought he looked solid.

He returned to the field and played well after it looked like he was gone for the game. I was pretty surprised as it appeared to be quite painful for him when he went out.

I’m loving our defensive draft picks.

 

Now Beane needs to build the offense. I think it’s going to take 2 full offseasons tbh.

That may have been part of the plan.  Get the defense going this season,and hope the O can get by.  Build the O next season with their accumulated picks and also getting a pass rusher and or run stopper.

Yeah, according to scouting Lewis's speed (which he does possess) somehow doesn't show up after he flips his hips to break downfield with the receiver. I thought it was evident on that play, although the wideout was admittedly a burner. Maybe that's why Lewis tho talented has bounced around without sticking with a team so far. It will be interesting to see how this aspect of his game develops (or not).

I believe the exact same thing was said last year. Get the defence going last year and then draft a QB and offence heavy this offseason. Well they got their QB and then went defence again........

Not exactly. They only have so many picks and inherited a horrid cap situation. The way some new regimes with young QBs have done it (ie Chicago, Rams) is implement the D and get the QB, then build up the offense going into QB’s second year. Trubisky had no one to throw to last year either. Same with Goff. My question is more around why there is no vet QB behind Allen.

That may be true, however IIRC last years defense still had some issue with the pass rush after 1 or 2 big $ guys were dumped and w/o much cap to replace those top heavy guys 

 

darn.. Yolo beat me to it....  great minds think alike

Did he reinjure that shoulder again? I really like his play. 

He was hurt early in the game, but he came back and we saw how he looked.

 

That was a real lick he gave to Rodgers. Did Rodgers try to trip him up after he walked away from that sack?

 

I've been very impressed with Taron Johnson's play so far. He's a fiery player.

 

I think he's made enough of an impression on Bills fans where he won't be remembered for just this...

Needs:  3 OL, 2 WRs,  1 young RB, one OLB, One def T and one pass rushing end.....,  need draft and right FAs to pull it off.

2 – CB Taron Johnson earning Leslie Frazier’s trust

Once the third day of the NFL draft arrives, teams often stop drafting for need and turn their focus to players with solid intangibles. Teams typically take developmental prospects on day three of the draft, raw players who could develop into something special given the proper time and treatment. Rarely will you see a day three pick start for his team in his rookie season.

Taron Johnson isn’t like most day three picks.

Both are really having a nice rookie season. Having many pieces of the D in place is reassuring- lets hope they dont screw up, like usual, the ten draft picks and cap space next year.

I agree. Good things to take away from all 3 guys. Davis retiring will be a blessing in disguise. Lewis knows he should've had that pic6 but what a rareity to even see a Bills cb jump a route. The less cb's we have to draft next year, the more we can focus on the OL/WR.

With depth in the backfield they can worry more on Pass Rush and OFFENSE and buy a few good FA's

Yeah, Lewis should have gotten an honorable mention for his play.

You gotta give it to the person throwing the ball.  That was a perfect throw.
