Hardeman is now demoted, I guess.

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 

 

Yep. If Joey Bosa was playing with Jordan Poyer's heart this game looks different.

[ControllerOfPlanetX]

This what “in the hunt” looks like.

 

[henry jones]

You know your defense sucks when a relic of a safety, Poyer, has 15 tackles so far

[Urban Achievers]

Cole and Hairston are the only must have D players to keep next year. I feel others are negotiable.

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

Because McClappy loves his washed up vets

Out coached...

Let's keep blaming Beane tho. Because Shavers got more done today than Coleman has all season.

 

It's hard for people to realize both are a liability.

Hancock can not be any worse then Poyer at this point

[Freddie's Dead]

Great, Samuel fumbles the KR, doesn't even get out to the 20.

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

big difference with him out

This defense is a joke. 

I don't think we used enough draft picks on Defense 

[BuffaloBillyG]

This is gonna be another year Beane declines a WR upgrade because we have to cut the rot out of this defense and restock it again.

Poyer is worse than cooked 

The guy who brought him in is worse than cooked!

I don’t disagree. 

 

But my point is simply that expectations are unrealistic.

 

When your QB can have 4 TD’s in three quarters and fans are mad… expectations are too high.

True, but he is just making it harder than it needs to be on himself and I am baffled as to why.

Teams do send some early blitzes his way lately, a corner blitz and a delayed safety blitz real early when we were deep in our EZ and maybe that is the secret sauce that gets Josh's clock ramped up so he does not settle in and see the field.

Dunno.

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

The defense, the receiving core, the coaching staff, the GM

 

fixed it for you 

[Jalan81]

So did we bench the speedster cause he made one fumble now we get a ***** starting position?

[wppete]

How bad is Poyer?!?!? What a disaster!

[BuffaloBill]

Cook with a nifty catch and run

[GunnerBill]

It definitely wasn't Poyer. It was Milano

 

Yea covering a running back in that look is a second level guy. Looked like Milano to me too.

[Nephilim17]

Finally using the backs in the passing game this year...
