Some quick post-game observations

1. D-line is a mess.  Benching two players for two practice squad players is not a recipe for success.  None of the free agent additions on defense other than maybe Jefferson has played well (Butler, Addison and Klein), and players like Oliver have taken a huge step back.  We have a new d-line coach, who I know is experienced, but is he part of the problem?

2. O-line play has been almost as bad.  Few running lanes and pass protection has been poor.  The ability of Allen to move around the pocket and run for yards has masked this reality.

3. Not sure I have any understanding as to what our offensive game plan was for this game.  Play calling seemed uneven, and there is too much reliance on Allen to make something happen.

4. Tough to watch a game where an opposing team can run that well against your defense for an entire game.  Did not seem that any in-game or half-time adjustments were made on offense or defense, which is a recurring theme as the Bills have been out-coached the last two games in particular.

5. Very disheartening to play so poorly two weeks in a row on national television.

I think the defensive plan worked. I didn’t like but we had several chances to get off the field on third and long and didn’t b

The biggest problem I see is third down defense and our inability to keep the qb in the pocket. No interior push.

I’m sure the D-Line coach is on his way out.

the defense not being able to stop anything should not have been a surprise.  at that point the offense should have abandoned the run and let josh start slinging it hurry up style.
