[Lionel Hutz]

Who on special teams is holding on every kick return? 

[ChronicAndKnuckles]

These refs stay messing up our field position. I’m sick of it

Do we hold every single return or just 97% of them

 

FR.  

[Nihilarian]

Buffalo needs to rethink their entire defensive front seven

[BuffaloBill]

Cook just squirts through

The scheme sucks too. I saw Johnson and Bernard get caught in the wash

That’s not scheme. That’s losing reps in fundamentals

Special teams: missed extra point and two penalties in the first quarter

Put 42 45 and 58 on the field. Idgaf if Bernard is hurt or not. For his sake I hope he is. Get him off the goddamn field he’s worthless 

 

Bernard is hurt.  You can see it.  He can't run laterally at all and is a step slow running full out straight ahead.  But the problem is, we have nobody else.  So we are playing a guy with 1 good wheel and we have a guy in Bosa playing with one hand.  I'd be running at them all night too.

So I guess they tried the BIG 4-3 if you will with williams and thompson at linebacker with bernard, sanders at end and bishop right up on the line and they still got run on.  have to think this was a package they worked on the last few days to try and get stops on early downs.

 

not sure what you do here to stop the run.  The interior gets whipped and the linebackers miss tackles and run right into the wrong gaps on seemingly every play.  

 

 

Yes they were working on it. At least they are trying something but no difference so far

[BuffaloBillyG]

So this is gonna be a "flag on every KR" week for us. Good to know.

[mannc]

Why are we returning kicks into the end zone instead of taking it at the 35?

Like an Alfred Collins type?

I haven't followed him this season.

[davefan66]

So, none of these crud penalties on returns last week and now we have them on every return?

 

Garbage.

 

Holding can be called every play. Once marked as a team that does it, they look for it.

[BuffaloBill]

Shakir buried on that screen

[Nostradumbass]

Love special teamers who get 6 snaps but get four penalties a game

[Bangarang]

Why do we insist on throwing the same screen to Shakir week after week?

[Dick_Cheney]

Holy god that play outside was a fail. 

[Tulsabillsfanz]

2 kick returns/punt returns, 2 holding calls.  Special teams coach needs to get their attention. 

[zow2]

6-3 is much more palatable than 7-6.  The missed XP doesn’t hurt as much.

 

These guys on ST are not being coached properly, what the hell
