Bills D I post season form!

Ha.  Was about to post the same thing.  No resistance.  Buffalo Joe and our safeties were exposed badly on that drive 

[Special K]

These announcers are like "The Bears are back!!!!!"

 

Are they not aware its starters vs. 2nd and 3rd stringers????

 

If they didn't score a TD, then it would be a shock.

[Blank Stare]

I like the Buffalo Joe storyline. He looks solid in run support and when he plays with other starters which is fine, but the dude has been lost in coverage the last two games. 

[Negan]

Going to be a lot of shoot outs this year.... Bengals defense meet your cousin.

There one's vs our two's and three's.  This is expected.

Our starting safety looks like he’s never played football

[ChiGoose]

Not worried about the backups allowing that drive but I will say that I was pretty impressed with the Bears offensive design there. Getting guys open for Caleb.

Are folks really going to be upset on here tonight with all the backups in, other than Bishop who obviously has a long way to go? I mean...cmon

For real.  Codrington is starting

[Lieutenant Aldo Raine]

Safety play is a major liability on this team.  What was once our strength is probably our biggest weakness now!

[Maine-iac]

Bring out Hancock and that Ciarlo guy

He is looking better than the other safety. 

 

That is why Hamlin keeps starting. The other guys are worse.

I was heavily criticized for saying Bishop was straying into bust territory. 
 

Hmm.

Very poor series for Bishop and Hamlin 

And Andreeson.. dude was nowhere close on his drops. 

[WEATHER DOT COM]

Time to give Hancock a shot.

[HIT BY SPIKES]

POOP!!!

I've seen Bishop...

Barely practiced in three weeks, it’s hard to shine when your playing with back ups but he looked slow and confused.

[Big Blitz]

That’s exactly how a first string offense with just decent talent should look against back ups and 3rd stringers.  

[JoeF]

Buffalo Joe was a little weak on the drops....needs to read that there are no underneath routes and get deeper.  Bernard can school him here.  One of his strengths.

To be fair, that's a tough matchup for a safety one on one against a slot

 

Sure. But it is what we saw whenever he was on the field last season too. Doesn't read it quickly enough and always late reacting.

someone tell me anything Bishop has done to be a locked in starter.

Locked in starting out the season on the bench. That's about it

 Backups

Yes and no. Bishop is a starter. All of the D line on that series are technically "backups", but they will be playing 20-40 percent of snaps

Looked like Keystone Cops in the secondary on that TD pass...

Just explained who the Keystone Cops are…… I’m old😵
