Maybe Dahlin can play net because he sure can't play D.

Here is what I don't understand.

You draft Rousseau, Basham this past season. Phillips a few years ago. As we have proven numerous times, Jerry Hughes is still one of the best pass-disrupting DE's in the league, however, his lack of production behind the line of scrimmage has become suspect.

So with Star playing hot and cold all season, why the hell haven't we been seeing more of the trio I mentioned above?

It starts in the trenches? Well, we dug a huge one on defense and the coaching staff refuses to put the young, fresh bodies in there.

And for the love of god, the Tremaine Edmunds experiment needs to end. The guy has no brain. He doesn't know how to hit a gap, cover a gap or read a screen, he literally is in the wrong spot 90% of the time. He is our gigantic middle LB and he is supposed to stop those huge runs like we saw last night.

But after him, our Safeties are supposed to be there, but they are too busy storming out of a press conference after getting their asses handed to them at home.

THEY GOT GOOD BACKS. WE DID OUR JOB.

1-4 in the redzone.

They had one big run that skewed the stats.

D held the game to a possession all night.

The offense could never take the lead.

I get it, they got ran over. Doesn't take away the fact the Offense Stunk, and even if they played half way decent they win that game. Defense got pushed around, but the Offense was horrible and cost us that game.

He's looked good pretty much anytime I see him on the field. If it's injuries holding him back, it's one thing, but this guy is an absolute beast in the middle and they NEVER play him.

Both the offense and defense sucked last night, but the coaching has been worse.

No excuses, they're all responsible for that loss.

Except maybe Josh, in all honesty. Josh Allen is why this team has made the playoffs the last 2 years, and why this team isn't going to be 5-12 this year.

We have a literal unicorn as our QB finally. Go and get him an offensive line, for Christ's sake. He's running for his life on almost 50% of his drop-backs.

You're right. It's a level of care though. Very low. No longer a super-fan and it feels better. Someday, i'll probably give up the DVR thing too. My wife, who absolutely hates sports, had to tell me that there was a Bills MNF game and she only knew because she saw it on the news. That's how much my fandom has decreased, and believe me, I was there watching the early 70s Bills teams.

Anyway, just trying to help. I'm sure none of you will try the DVR method but it really helps. Also, gives you more time to do the really important things in life !

Disappointment and then anger (misery!) and then...
the Apathy grows amongst the fanbase at varying speeds.
You are just further down the path than others but you’re not yet all the way there.

Definitely agree on the Oline. Hate the play calling in some games, but hard to run your play book when your Oline can't block the schemes.

the safety that did his job was 15 yards downfield before every snap

I don't blame the safety, it's all coaching and bad coaching on that
