Do you not understand how sentences work? There were more words there…

Next dose of punishment.  We have to listen f'n Edelman run his trap.

Again there is a difference when our backups are mostly the guys we’re going to cut vs the Bears backups who are NFL rotational players. Luther Burden is going to play a lot of snaps, Bagent has started games. Ryan Bates is playing OL right now for the Bears, Austin Booker is going to be in their DLine rotation as a pass rusher. That’s still a fairly significant difference compared to Paris Shand and Jacob Bayer etc 

Ok.. but its still the same old same old..

No pass rush, 7 yards on first down running,  horrific pass coverage, and they walk up and down the field at will. The backups against their back up look like our starters against other starters. I question the defense and its co ordinator at least as much as the players so we can analyze the quality of backups and compare but the defense and result looks exactly the same . I truly understand your point but mine isn't really about the players its about their coach

Well said. 
 

collectively horrible with a few bright spots by 2 or 3 guys. 

Who was that?

Why is Hamlin still on the Buffalo Bills?

 

I was asking that all last year.

[Maine-iac]

What's with his neck wound?

[Billz4ever]

If Buechele looks like he has a pulse he should win #3. White was atrocious.

[ngbills]

Why do we have preseason games? 

[NewEra]

Walker and Sanders look legit.  I’m excited about both of these dudes.  
 

Andreeson looks like a liability in coverage.  I wonder if shaq or Dorian would take Bernard’s spot if injured. Andreeson doesn’t look like it.

 

our coverage has been an abomination tonight.  
 

Bishop was the rustiest I’ve ever seen a player. Good lord.

Omg forgot we have to watch Edelman now.  It just gets worse

Could be fun given that he managed to make a fool out of himself when given the easiest possible setup pregame.

Pelvis injury, it can happen.

I'm not asking what the injury is, I'm asking how it happened.

I do, and you said plenty of starters. I counted one who played for series and a half.

A lot of yada yada yada but not addressing the point - this is not just a game of backups. Plenty of starters, borderline starters, and second stringers played. And got blown out of the water.

 

Lets not pretend like this is all 3rd/4th guys who aren’t making the team.

It's been an atrocious performance but this is simply not true. Care to name them? Nevermind, I will - Bishop/Hamlin (1). Maybe Palmer (2)

 

The end.

This should be a fun watch for the Hard Knocks episode

Do we get 2 quarters of Shane buechle now? 

I hope so

time to run the Shane Train on them. 

[RFL]

Ok it’s preseason but come on, defense getting cut to shreds…we have no depth 

[Maine-iac]

Hopefully someone throat punched Edelman before the game.  Thus the throat band aid.

[Walking Tall]

I’m not worried about the team at all. We will be fine. However, I am worried about some player performances. Cole Bishop is at the top of the list for me because he may be our starter. Hamlin? I couldn’t care less. Cut him tomorrow.

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Minus the offside, I thought Solomon showed some juice so far.

[DapperCam]

- Hamlin somehow got even slower. He might get cut.

- Was hoping for more from E. Moore.

- Idk who that punter is, but he did great.
- Shavers might make some noise this year in spot duty. Good competition to keep Coleman from getting complacent.
