He is throwing the ball to SHAVERS, PALMER, MOORE, COLEMAN, and Shakir....I mean this GM has FAILED him at every level since Diggs

Watching haggard Rodgers huck balls to DK who looks set for a career year is infuriating

Atlanta’s defense overwhelmed our o-line.  Josh had no time to pass, no where to run.
 

We need better WRs. As soon as Palmer was hurt, we had Shakir & not much else. Coleman is clueless when it comes to ball awareness. He never seems to know when the ball’s coming to him. On one of his few receptions he jumps up and signals first down, when he was 2 yards short. 

Or we could have just kept running the ball, which was working.

Hopefully with McDermotts glasses he could see the problems more clearly…idk best I got right now

I would agree on Rapp but not sure what other option there is.

 

He's so bad I'm ready to see them give Jordan Hancock a huge pile of reps coming out of the break to see if he's ready.

I think he's smarter than folks both inside and outside the team are giving him credit for.

McDermott has finally neutered Josh Allen. 
 

It took a few years of concerted effort to change him but he got his wish. 

Turned a stud into a gelding.

I don’t know. Bishop looks even worse than Rapp to me.

[OZBILLS]

I'm glad. One step closer to change

I had this thought except I attributed it to Cole Bishop being out, and then he came back just in time for their last killer drive to go up 2 scores 

Bishop and Bernard are perfect examples of beane reaching for a player a round or two before almost any other gm would think of drafting him, because beane is just smarter than everyone else.

Well you don't have either. No #1 seed and a flawed team chasing the Pats in the AFCE.

Good point. 

 

If losing the division to the Patriots led to major changes, I am all for it. 

 

8 days ago I never considered it a possibility. Now, I am starting to believe it could actually happen.

After the way both of our sports teams have been playing, I’m taking a break from sports for a while. I hope the bills do too. 

[Steptide]

At this point I'm not sure they can even beat Carolina

We have to get healthy. Good thing the bye is here cause this team and coaching staff has some serious self reflecting to do. 

They don’t have any injuries on the OL, and just Josh Palmer on offense. And yea he makes a difference because it’s a better match up on CB2s on defense but he’s not enough to beat a really good defense 

[thenorthremembers]

The bottom line with this team is the talent isnt good enough.   When youre going into the trade deadline and you legitimately need a #1 wideout, a starting safety, a starting corner back, and likely a #1 DE your GM isnt doing a good enough job.

Bills have to kick the tires on Crosby or Garrett. I know they both signed new deals, but no way in h_ll are they happy losing like that. For either id give 2 firsts, Groot, and whatever they may want. You can’t rebuild your secondary during the season. But you can help them out with a wrecker on the line. Bosa is not enough, and Groot goes missing too much. The best way to transform this defense is to get an elite pass rusher. Somebody with an identity and presence. We have no PRESENCE on defense!!! 

 

The defensive issue is more in the back 7 than the front four, IMO.

[Tulsabillsfanz]

One positive: Deone Walker had a great second half!  He had 4 tackles for loss in the game!

17 has his own issues he needs to work on. That flip for the highlight reel stuff was ridiculous and he missed stuff. We are screwed. 

17 has 0 room to work on issues, his wrs are so awful and his Defense is not much better, he has to be perfect for us to win.  Its absolutely crazy how little talent is on this football team.  The announcers are even clowning it

He needs a mirror to see the problem.

Maybe worth a try at this point. In hindsight it's kind of funny that Rapp was considered the more certain, veteran stabilizing presence in the safety group coming into the year.

[Billz4ever]

Daquan Jones getting injured in pregame warm-ups was a preview of how that game was going to go.

Completely disagree about the secondary. The entire unit is the reason this defense is strand costing the Bills the past 2 games. White is washed. Benford looks lost, and Johnson is a shell of who he was even last year.

 

The corners are not the primary problem here. They haven't been "great" but they're not getting abused repeatedly.

There is a MASSIVE hole in the middle of the field where we should have 2-3 LBs.

THAT is causing mroe problems for this defense than anything else and it's not even close, imo.
