Preseason Week 2 Bills at Bears - Game thread

[zow2]

The Bills secondary simply allows the other team to catch the ball and all they care about is tackling

People are not overreacting to what is happening. They are analyzing our backups many of which are projected to make the final 53 playing horribly. Guys that might need to play meaningful minutes are performing very poorly. Also seeing rookies get time against actual NFL players, not just a bunch of college kids.

Both things can be true. Analyzing and overreacting.

Terrible and pathetic in every aspect of the game. 

No positives, maybe Shavers

Play safe, no injuries, and get your guys to the regular season.

 

 

And come out unprepared against the Ravens.

Dorian Strong has been brutal

No way White makes the roster after this performance

His throws are weak even when he has time.

Bad drop shavers, or maybe bad throw

 

But he has game. He smoked that DB

Bad throw imo but that matters none.

Yeah that's my biggest concern coming out of this game. Because those guys are going to play important snaps this year and they have been totally ineffective even against the Bears 2nd OL.

Its still 1st half, but my biggest concern(s):

1. Backup DL

2.  #3/4 outside CB

 

Max will ease #2, if hes back sooner than later.

 

Only optimism/silver linings for backup DL is these guys are ALL young.  Sanders, Carter, Walker, Jackson.

 

We will need Groot, Ed, Bosa to be difference makers - that is the truth.

 

At the end of day, most important thing is getting off field on 3rd down.  Per usual preseason, we won't know that answer until 1-4 weeks into the year.

[HappyDays]

Strong, Jackson, and Coddrington are taking turns getting cooked. The problem is at least one of those guys very well might have to play snaps this year. Get well soon Max.

[ALLinALLEN]

I will not sleep until Andreesen, Dane Jackson, Hamlin, Davidson, and codrington are all cut

I'm staying up for one trubisky drive, then it's bed for me

I really want Dorian Strong to pan out but for someone leaving 10-yard cushions for receivers, he gets juked right out the play most times too.

10 yard cushions is part of McDs D

[SirAndrew]

Keon Coleman needs to be that guy, I know we have Shakir, but WR depth  looks ugly.

He had one catch.

Who on earth is 43? He’s been getting annihilated all night long.

Strong. He’s not the only one.

[oldmanfan]

Hamlet is a good example of what coaches will look for in cuts.  Veteran WR has to get both feet down on that one pass.  I suspect McD will go nuts over lack of attention to detail.

If we never see another rep from Mike White or Buffalo Joe it’s still to soon

Yup, can't believe how poorly they've both played....along with a slew of dbs.

Yes but they will also be counting on Babich and he has changed nothing this is a problem 

Agree, Babich setting us up for failure. 

[Nitro]

Plenty of guys are playing themselves off the roster.   Basic football techniques are being missed.  

[thenorthremembers]

A QB in high school has to be able to throw 9 route when the wideout is that open.   Mike White wasnt able to do that when the wideout was open within the first 5 yards.  Absolute dog crap.
