Just completely got dismantled.

I get the injuries at CB, safety/nickel and LB are big problems, but there's no way it should cripple your defense like that. And yes, the offense failing so hard hurts them too. 

The bills scored on 6 of their first 7 possessions.

Nielsen needs to have a come to Jeebus moment with himself in the mirror about when and how often to stick to his stubbornness calling man coverage. Time to loosen the reins on that [BLEEP].

And what the hell is all of this rotating linebackers business??

I'm irked.

Also - where the hell is all of this pass rush manufacturing he talked about in the offseason. There are some different twists, stunts and blitzes, but none of it has been an improvement over the prior guy.

Bingo... Not another team in this league rotate their LBs like we do.. I understand rotating the front 4, but the LBs? Hell no. There's absolutely no reason Muma and Miller should be on the field over Foye and Lloyd unless it's due to injury.

Also, why is Ledbetter and Lacy getting the start over Armstead and Hamilton? I'd love to see the snap counts from last night because it seemed like Ledbetter and Lacy were on the field far more than Armstead, Hamilton, or even Big Roy. The hell is that about?

I wonder if it was more of a "let me throw crap and see what sticks" because Lloyd was pitiful amongst Armstead, Hamilton and RRH.

Armstead generated zero push whatsoever and I wonder if he's still suffering from a lingering injury. RRH was incredibly slow with terrible lane discipline that led to Josh Allen torching us on the ground.

These guys all suck and I'm really trying hard to be optimistic. Hines-Allen, Travon Walker, and Andre Cisco have been massive let-downs this year when they should have been the very cornerstones of this defense.
