Dear Baby Jesus,

please let our defense get off the field this Monday night on a few 3rd and longs.

The defense does still give me anxiety but looking at things clearly they were 3 of 9 on 3rd down and the Pats only had the ball 25 minutes.  With a 10 minute TOP advantage and a decent showing from the defense if the offense doesn't turn the ball over 3 times we probably win by 2 scores.

I'd keep Samuel.  He might be the only WR besides Shakir than even has a slice of rapport with Allen out there.   I noticed last night they used our best hands guy, Shakir, as a punt catcher.  I know they don't want him getting blasted on punt returns.

As far as Shakir goes, does anyone else think we are hurting ourselves having someone back there just fair catching punts??? Obviously, I dont wanna see Shakir get hurt bu maybe Samuels or Moore might be better suited to try and get some yardage on the punts. Not saying they are more expendable than Shakir, but....

1) Bench Taron Johnson.

2) Get the penalties under control.

3) Somehow get the missed tackles under control. But I don't see how.

4) Use the running backs in the passing game. The Bills were the best team in the league last year at that. Now they never do it. Not one target to a running back against the Pats.

5) Play Shaq Thompson more. He is their best linebacker.

Williams has been terrible this year. He gets fooled on every play, has no feel for coverage, and makes way too many mistakes.

To be fair, Bernard, Johnson, Rapp and Benford haven't been exactly stellar either!

Bernard has had good games and he makes splash plays.

Bernard has been pushed around and out of position more this year than I can remember. Sure, he makes a great play here and there, but he has a hard time shedding someone blocking into him.

[Heitz]

Big thing for me is that we score more than they do…

Ingram over White.  It honestly can’t be worse. 
 

Once Hairston gets up to speed (if he gets up to speed), White should be on the PS in a Poyer role. 

This is what I was going to say. People forget that Ingram has looked good in limited duty. He would also bring a more physical presence in run support. There is almost zero risk imo - White has proven (unsurprisingly) that he should never see the field at this point. The excitement when the Bills signed him was laughable. He is beyond washed unfortunately

How about a few two back formations? Cook, Johnson, and even Davis have shown to be capable pass catchers out of the backfield. Might be a nice wrinkle to throw out there a few plays a game?

[ngbills]

More jet sweep / end arounds to Knox...

[DasNootz]

Ingram over White this week.

 

Asante Samuel Jr should be in for a visit.

[JP51]

Stop turning over the ball

Tackle

 Shed blocks

a basic level of competency in the 2ndry...  Douglas or Elam anyone? 

Execute lining up and snapping the football properly

If this happens again, flop on the ground to get the damn call

I'm not too bent out of shape over this loss, with the expecation there will be a rebound.  

 

However, let's not start Tre White (59/60 snaps last night) and Daquan Jones (44 out of 60) in ATL.  I'd rather see younger guys like Logue and Mathis take the bulk of snaps and have Jones rested and in on 3rd downs and plays that really matter. 

 

At CB, White has zero quickness left, and Benford's quickness is limited.  Put your quickest CBs out there.  I don't think Stefon Diggs is that good.  I think some of it was due to Tre White being so slow.

Pretty sure Logue is out of call-ups...no more games for him unless he is signed to the 53 man roster

[frostbitmic]

Benford needs to be on London like a second skin on every play. And please give our #2 CB some Safety help.

[oldmanfan]

Start Ingram over Tre.

Throw the ball to the running backs.

Blitz more.

HOUSE finally finds his wallet.

Not even Jesus can resurrect this defense. 

[Pete]

A coherent offensive game plan, and flexibility to adapt as the game goes.

 

Let Josh be Josh, Let Cook cook.

 

No more jet sweeps with Knox.

 

No trick plays.

Play action.  You do know what play action is Joe, right?  Let’s call it 25% of pass plays.

Some intermediate and deep throws.  We have zero deep game, and Brady does not seem to target the intermediate routes.

 

Coleman on crossing routes.

 

D 

Contain Bijan.

 

Create turnovers.

 

Sacks.

 

and most of all a Win with no Bills injuries.

[Augie]

Let’s start by wearing Buffalo Bills uniforms, complete with a Bills helmet. That shouldn’t be too difficult.
