This looks like a 7-9 8-8 team if we’re lucky.

NE will steamroll us on the ground all day, Seattle and Pittsburgh will murder us.

I see Jets win, maybe Miami, maybe LA, maybe Denver.

Arizona will a mobile QB will never leave the field against our D

I think they'll be 6-2 in two weeks. This stretch of 4 games with the Rams, Raiders, Titans and Chiefs was tough. Getting out of it 2-2 is pretty good.

If they lose to the Jets next week, I'll head to the Rainbow Bridge for a nose dive after stopping off in Lockport for a beer

Bills will still win 10 or 11 games.

They get to steam till the Jets this week and get their confidence back.

However if they don’t fix the Run D, the Pats are going to gauge them.

I’d love to beat NE but I don’t see it right now.

Thankfully 9-7 might take the division but this team is nowhere near Tennessee, Pitt, Baltimore or KC to compete for a SB

We’re the Browns

You want to blame only Edmunds fine but I see this as does this football analyst. This is why the Bills D sucks.

No. You took it that way. D tackles can't stop the run or put pressure on the qb. D ends can't contain and aren't putting pressure on qb. Safeties aren't making a difference. CB is weak outside of Tre. Having Milano out makes matters worse. Oh, and Leslie Frazier is scared

I agree. The pass rush and running game is nowhere near good enough right now to be a serious contender. I think the secondary will clean up, but I wonder if they are also a victim of a pass rush that isn't generating enough pressure

To be fair, AJ Klein gave them a huge turnover tonight.

McDermott not going for it on 4th and 6 down 10 in the 4th quarter against KC is just unacceptable. He decided then and there that he wanted to lose the game when he punted. He threw up the white flag

How about not going for 2 points to put us within 5 points? In case we yielded the last field goal?
8 points down not 9 points down

We might be the worst in the league at contain in both the run and pass game.

Yup. Simple math said to go for it.

Your playing to stop them and score a TD either way and you give yourself two tries to make a 2 point conversion

The D is off, can't remember the last time I heard Micah's name called, see what Beane does.

The secondary is not right (to put it mildly). I think it may be a function of the lack of pressure generated by the front 4

I also noticed they actually went 3-4 on at least one snap tonight, and they dropped Addison into coverage on one play which seems like a terrible idea

We haven’t proved ourselves to be in that class yet

Nov 3 is trade deadline day. I know nfl teams usually don't do much, but they need to make a move

Amazingly, I don’t think that’s the main issue. It’s the lack of contain when they pass rush.

Guys like Hughes beat their man but Mahomes just easily runs out of the pocket for 7 and theirs no LB in sight

Could be. I am definitely no expert. I've heard commentators mentioning the contain issue the past couple games. I think the secondary is more talented than how they're playing.

Leslie Frazier's got some 'splainin to do!

Yeah the play Kelce set up in-between Addison and Edmunds for that 1st down. And the pressure and the LB's having problems in Coverage. It sucks he can't stay healthy but Milano is missed and might be more important to the D then Edmunds.

Agreed. Good thing we benched 2 lineman so they could give up 300 yards rushing.

Teams will control clock and march up and down the field against the Bills all the rest of the season.

Tremaine Edmunds is awful, White has been lackluster.

Buffalo offense will never see the field, Allen regressing, recipe for disaster.

Yeah I think so as well. I didn't want to get there, but Edmunds just isn't producing results other than deep-field tackles

Its why you don't build your team around defense.

You rarely have a good defense year over year.
