We may need 45 plus to win today

[The 9 Isles]

It’s amazing how many NFL players have career days against the Bills defense

Look at this long line of washed up defensive players. Thanks Beane.

 

They all shouldn't be in Buffalo next season.

And if Hoecht and Oliver were playing?

And Kincaid

Poyers a tad slow

Agree but he has more heart than most of the D.. he has made way too many tackles. The fact he’s starting at this point of his career tells you the state of Bills

When Sean Tucker completes the day with 250 yards, the issue shouldn’t be Josh Allen. McD’s defense is abysmal, he’s gone backwards. In a normal job you’d be on a PIP at least 

 

Turnovers also

Outside of Oliver & Hoecht, we're pretty healthy on D too.

 

This is such a bad defense.

 

Shaq Thompson is somehow the best linebacker on the team and he’s out 😂.

One thing is certain, if the Bills do make the playoffs, and that’s still an IF…they are not going anywhere with this D.  I’m sorry, but we are just watching games for entertainment now not real Super Bowl dreams

Second TD today he’s given up because he has cement shoes. 

Milano just watched him run by.

Tough to tell who was to blame it on that play. It was either Milano or Poyer.

 

The lack of Hancock is really a head scratcher. 

I mean, neither should be on the field in 2025.

[Miyagi-Do Karate]

I really like how this TB OC is calling this game. That was a perfect play call there.

It looked like he may have thought Taron was gonna slide off onto the RB. I could be wrong 

Miscommunication?   Could be.  Whatever the is, McD has to solve it.

It’s time for a mass cleanup of the old defensive roster. Total changing of the guard is needed. Watching this alumni team getting beat week after week is exhausting. 

Salary cap prevents that. We're stuck.

What, like we did on 4 and 2 earlier, and Josh messed up the play? Brady got criticised for that.

4 and 2 is not really a run situation…

We all feel terrible 😪 

[sonyab1974]

I KNOW!!!!!!!!

[buffblue]

I'm sure glad Milano and Poyer are continually out there. Can't run and are making as many mental mistakes as rookies with more athleticism, but hey they know the system!

Bills gonna give up another 200 yards rushing! McDermott has NO ANSWERS!

 

🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮🤮

Oh he’ll have answers..

 

The other team gets paid too

 

its hard to win in the NFL

 

it starts with me 

[dcinmuncie]

Is Hancock not out there? And if so, why??

I can get that he was tapped as our Mike when the league was all pass pass because he is lighter and faster, but even when he drops in coverage he just covers grass and seems to have no concept of zone match.

 

If only we had an LB who was good in coverage....
