Poor fundamentals? Huh?

Drop passes, poor depth in pass coverage, and two false starts on the first drive. These are things that we recover from in the regular season with Allen under center.

Wow….backups are playing horrible/embarrassing and of course it’s on National TV. 

No one is watching this game except bills/bears fans, guys on the talk shows that have to have something to talk/write about and gambling addicts.

 

I'm sure I'll see a post on twitter tomorrow about how bad Josh Allen got clowned by the bears when he didn't even play.

Safety is going to be a major problem this year...

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

I wish, but McD has been pretty clear about him as a starter. Frankly, Rapp isnt even starting tier anywhere else.

I see Edmonds. This is now an Edmonds thread. 

Edmunds just turned 20.

 

So much potential 

 

Why did we give up on him ?

1st and 10 dead to rights in the backfield….gain of 2

Is there a mercy rule?

It’s ok to overreact. The safety position is a problem. Has been but nobody can accept bishop slander 

I can accept it but everything has to be factored. To the Bills this is a nothing burger, they’re playing all backups, and they can afford to try different things in the preseason to see if they are effective or not. 
 

The Bears have a new football coach, with a new football system , and a team that is typically been bad with a 2nd year # 1 QB trying to get ready for a brutal division. 
 

Bishop might not be in cover zero in the regular season but maybe they want to see it

I know we should stop drafting Clemson players....maybe add Utah to that list.

Yeah but you’re ok with the starting safety behind completely lost? I have the same mentality for preseason but he is lost on coverage

No. But it doesn’t count so figure it out now.

[CincyBillsFan]

To me the problem wasn't Bishop but Buffalo Joe who didn't drop into coverage.  On the TD play I'm not sure any safety would be able to cover a guy that was given that much free space on the inside immediately after he snap.

Make this clear .......... I'm not upset.  It's mostly back ups.  That said we don't have to suck just because we're playing back ups.  They don't have to get torched on EVERY play.

It’s better when back ups are sprinkled in, it allows to see how they stack up better, but McDermott is playing it safe. Personally I disagree and think the starters should get a series. But I guess that’s why he’s the coach.

Did you forget Davis tackled behind the LOS?

 

My post was more about not sending the receivers downfield, but yeah, Ray got tackled behind the LOS.  Did the Bills get a yard of net offense or 0?

Good penetration on those two plays I guess

Oh so the backups and 3rd stringers. Gotcha

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. 

Cmon man. He doesn't look fine. Hes terrible. Just like Codrington, he is only capable of playing special teams. At least he is a lot less expensive than Matakevich was.
