I want wholesale changes on defense. This doesn’t work. I don’t care what we did or how we think. It’s incorrect. I want to see 3 LBs on the field. I don’t care what that means for Tarron Johnson. Everyone loves that guy and fine, he’s pretty good. He’s nowhere near as good as they make him out to be. If he’s that important, move him outside. Stop letting teams run on you. Use a base defense. Blitz. We aren’t getting there with 4, I know what you want to do. It doesn’t work. Confuse the QB and send people the way Minnesota does. I want to see Benford following Wilson. Nobody else matters in the passing game. I want our best on their best. No more of this BS we do on defense. It needs to get better

Rogers and the Steelers chewed NY up using the play action passing

That’s not part of Brady’s offense.

The number of times I have begged and pleaded at my TV for a play-action in parts of games that were BEGGING for a play-action is too numerous to count.

Brady’s never going to change…we’re going to continue to see nothing but running plays on 2nd and short.  It’s like he thinks Trent Edwards is his QB…

It hurts when your 3rd round pick is probably gonna be inactive the entire season. Even more when you have 2 guys suspended for 6 games and another hurt on the DL. We just can’t continue to miss like that with our early picks. 
 

And then you have Samuel who is getting a good chunk of change to be inactive. 
 

Im sure it sounds nit picky but these are the types of decisions that can keep you from getting over the hump.

The offense scored 41 points last week and was a top 5 offense last year. So, what's the problem? The offense works pretty darn well.

Which DE should be sitting instead of Jackson?  The only one you could even argue about would be Solomon, but a 5th round pick with a year experience is very often going to be better than a rookie 3rd round pick.

 

Yes Samuel is getting paid a lot to be inactive, but he's a good insurance policy to have if someone else gets hurt in the WR room.

It should be better.  That’s the problem.

I agree regarding Benford. He should travel with Wilson wherever he goes. Last week, the Bills defense ran a 4-3 base defense on 17 of the 51 defensive plays. Maybe you want a higher % than that but if the LBs don’t tackle better (Milano and Bernard) if won’t make any difference. Those guys need to play better. It’s that simple.

Why Jenkins? Is he going to get meaningful snaps? Special teams?

I would argue that. A fifth rounder was drafted 30 to 60 players after a third rounder. Expectations around that 3rd round pick will be much higher. It may be, and I really have no idea of it is, that they are working with him on his body like they did with Groot in his first year. He doesn’t have great bend, and despite a strong motor, didn’t show a lot in the preseason. There may be a player there, but for today he is a miss.

Dorian Williams is way better than people realize. And when I say people I mean the bills coaches. He needs to be on the field. I’m ready to say he should be playing as much as the other 2 guys. It’s time to make a move

What?  Allen was the best in the NFL on play action last year. I'm not sure what games you are watching, are you sure they are Bills games?

I always thought Justin Fields had the potential to be a good QB. In fact I wanted the Bills to make him Josh's backup instead of Mitch Trubisky.

The Bills have Josh Allen and the Jets don't. End of story.

Man from talking to people and reading you'd think Buffalo stands no chance today. Crazy. O

Yes, Allen is great at it, and the Bills use play action less than almost every other team in the league…League-low 13% last week.

Yes it's 30 to 60 picks lower.  But a year experience easily trumps that.  There was also much written how playing DE is much tougher to learn than DT as more responsibilities to learn.  The Bills also are pretty loaded team so again tougher for rookies to get playing time.
