Kaiir Elam is a liability any time he is on the field

[MJS]

He needs reps. Take the lumps and get him as much experience as you can.

[HerdMenatlity1]

I thought it was called “over reaction Monday “. 

[Starr Almighty]

Was Elam wearing a yellow flag as a jersey because I saw plenty of 3rd downs converted due to the yellow flag

I thought they picked on Jackson in the 1st half and Elam in the 2nd.

 

Regardless, we are hurting at Corner and Linebacker and our offense stunk up the United Kingdom. Our defense had only given up 11 through 3 quarters. They just ran out of gas late.

Whoever was on Ridley got beat

Why would Denver do that?

There was an article posted today about Denver making everyone on their defense available to trade. Looks like they’re in tank mode

Hyde was in Ridley on the 3rd down late.

Your big takeaway from this game is to pick on Elam covering Ridley? 

Expand  

It’s a fair criticism

 

We had bigger issues that include offence, injuries etc.

 

But Elam did look bad out there

The dude had 11 tackles today. Is that impressive, or is that an indictment of how he was targeted all day, and how many times his guy caught the ball?

Expand  

I think that could be it.  He heard the whispers about his commitment to tackling and wanted to prove us wrong.

[dma0034]

I mean he played a lot of man against Ridley. Ridley is a monster. Wish the Bills would have traded for him. Ofcourse he was going to get beat. Bills were missing half of their starters on Defense half way through the 1st Quarter

[Solomon Grundy]

Ridley is considered one of the best route runners in the game!! I'm not going to overreact to Elam's performance. Bad penalties, injuries and offensive play calling hurt

[DuckyBoys]

Ridley is pretty good  Elam needs few games of reps  Dude sat 4 games Hopefully light goes on

[Koufax]

I thought Elam played better than the outcome of the plays he will be beat up on. Needs to play better and some flaws, but some good throws against him. Tre isn't coming back this season, so right now I am optimistic and glad to have him, even if he isn't going to be a superstar any time soon.

[Einstein]

This play sums up Elam today.

Yes, Doug Pederson implemented the Kaiir Elam plan. I also think his badness is why the Bills blitzed so much - whoever he was covering was going to get open.

Expand  

We blitzed because we weren’t getting any penetration with 4. Multiple opportunities for coverage sacks today but couldn’t even collapse the pocket. What’s disheartening is Kaiir was put in position as that boundary corner to be in mostly man situations but lost leverage or didn’t understand what leverage to play with many times.

 

However, lack of execution offensively is why we lost this game.

[JohnBonhamRocks]

I feel like I saw Ridley catch the ball 5-10 yards downfield on the sideline in front of Elam - and this is just an estimate - but around 25-30 times today

Ridley is a solid player. I’m not sure there’s anybody on the roster who was gonna cover him today without leaving Kirk and engram open all day. 
I didn’t jump in here to defend Elams play or make excuses for him. I just thought there were much bigger takeaways from the loss than Elams struggles in his first game.

I definitely agree with you that there were bigger issues.

 

Ridley has been super quiet though the last few weeks.

Sure, but they’re not trading him for a late first rounder and Kaiir freaking Elam.

Trade Elam and our 1st round pick to Denver for Patrick Surtain II.

That won't help the Milano issue. Thank God 7 was okay. Just pray for Milano because we need him down the stretch. What a catastrophe that game was beyond the loss.
