Offense is horrible and they are certainly an issue. 

But defense was just as pathetic, the bills secondary was depleted as well. We still started this game with plenty of veteran players on D that were “supposed” to at least help this team stay in games. Don’t need to shut them out, but how about keep them out of the end zone one time ?!? 

Defense was historically bad last night and in the nfl there really is no excuse for that level of ineptitude. Blame goes on everyone from GM to coaches to players that played.

We scored 3 points last night not 10. The touchdown at the beginning of the second half was after they called the dogs off. The Bills were basically playing a prevent defense and we managed to make even that look difficult.  Anytime in the second half they wanted to stop us they just cranked it up and did.

I still saw their starters in the game… I saw a little juice from some offensive players which means at least a little bit of pride. Yes we acknowledge offensive scheme and personnel suck that much is not even up for debate. 

But the defense ? Nah. If they called off the dogs then what does that say about our D at that stage? They still couldn’t get a stop. 

Or did you just mean only their D called off the dogs and their O was still running up the score? 


Either way it doesn’t matter other than to at least show some doggone courage and fortitude for your team, your city, or heck even in your game. But no.

They lost that game before the first snap. The defensive gameplan was just wrong, from the beginning, they should have known that man-to-man coverage is not favorable at all with Josh Allen. Zone is. 

They should have been practicing zone coverage, robber looks, zone blitzes, even mixing in Allen and Walker in this one to drop into flat zone coverages while rushing the backers up into the middle of Allen's pocket instead of giving him four yard gaps to smile and chuckle at before running for 12 yards on 3rd and 11. 

They got schooled last night. Not even close. Joe Brady probably immediately looked at the coverage and [BLEEP] himself in disbelief that Ryan Nielsen was this stupid or ballsy enough to give him man-to-man all day. No adjustments were made neither. 

At some point, the coaches need to call a timeout and make adjustments mid game. It's something I don't see Doug hardly ever doing. Call a timeout, get your guys in order, get your [BLEEP] together, pivot and do what you have to do at the minimum to stop the bleeding. 

This team got treated like a tether ball last night. Was hard to watch. I honestly don't ever want to see some [BLEEP] like this again this year. That should have been the first sentence out of Khan's mouth this morning before Doug had his ZOOM meeting with the media.

"I don't ever want to see this [BLEEP] happen again, figure it out or I'll [BLEEP] fire your [BLEEP] on the spot next time".

Absolutely this ^^^^^^^^. One of the worst game plans for a Bills Allen led team that could possibly have been conceived. And we had no adjustments whatsoever
