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

 

This is such a bad defense.

 

 

 

Agreed. 

[BritishBill]

Time of possession is now pretty much 32 to 15. Crazy

[Mailman]

Why do they keep lining Solomon up as the joker??? He gets washed out every play!  He is no Hoecht!

[wppete]

Whoever these so called journalists are should be grilling McDermott after this game at the press conference. This coaching is absolutely embarrassing. He needs to answer the hard questions for this insanity.

That one was on Milano....

 

But Poyer is washed too........

Both poor on that. Milano was late in recognition and drop and Poyer is slow and as a result was forced to take a bad angle.

Was Syracuse great.  Would have been second round pick except had failed pre draft physical due to cardiac issues.

Used to watch him in Syracuse, was really good. Can't believe Tampa doesn't use him

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. 

 

It definitely wasn't Poyer. It was Milano

[Desert Bills Fan]

Milano looks washed…

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

Yeah, he was so wide open it’s hard to tell. Might have been Taron’s guy, maybe Bishop who ended up following the TE who looked like he ended up being doubled.

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

 

They all shouldn't be in Buffalo next season.

I'd throw Bosa in that dumpster too.

So you admit you are wrong.  Your premise was we don't draft 1 techs.  He's a rookie, he is getting better at the 1

No I'm not admitting I'm wrong lol.

"While he has the size of a 1 tech, he has more 3 tech ability. And given where he's at, he should be more the ladder".

 

The solution to address the 1 tech position should not drafting an ideal 3 tech and playing  him out of position lol.

 

It all goes back to them wanting a penetration style of front without a true run stuffer.

So no, I'm not wrong lol

The NFL has fully passed McDermott d bye

Salary cap prevents that. We're stuck. 

Wrong. They just need to draft way better

That is Milanos responsibility out of the backfield right? Not poyer’s fault.

Yea, but Poyer is supposed to prevent the TD from happening, but because he's geriatric he couldn't run over there in time.

[Big Turk]

Of course ..the one time we need a good return we get nothing

How many times does Poyer gotta come up short on big plays before he gets taking out?

 

Fer chrissakes he's got at least a dozen tackles today.

He's playing 1000x better than anybody had any right to expect from him.

[The 9 Isles]

Pegula will definitely not make a HC/GM with a new stadium opening next year and the excuse of injuries in his back pocket.

Bernard is terrible 

Milano is terrible

poyer is terrible

White is terrible 

Jones is terrible 

Solomon is terrible 

Johnson is terrible 

 

it’s time for changes 

 

Well Milano, Poyer, White, and Jones are Free Agents after this year and none of them are likely to come back  Johnson could be a cap casualty. Solomon would be on Special Teams for the most part, if not for the injury to Hoecht. But we're stuck with Bernard for at least another year.

And if Hoecht and Oliver were playing?

They can't tackle everyone, cover all the receivers and rush the passer at the same time

Yeah, maybe. Hard to tell.
