The entire special teams operation has noticeably improved since hiring Chris Tabor.

Defense needs to hold them to 0 on this next drive to justify that play call.

Bosa has been excellent to start the season. I'll accept a couple poor contain reps in exchange for instant pass rush wins that have been missing from this defense since Von tore his ACL.

That is gutless from Aaron Glenn

Cook is special. So glad we didn't let his game breaking ability get away.

Good to see the defense winning us a game. That's what should be expected given the lopsided investments spent on that side of the ball.

Brown hasn't been as good to start the season. Maybe the back is still bothering him.

This was a big problem last week too but the 4th quarter made everyone forget

That is true but what really killed us against Baltimore was their OL and run scheme creating massive lanes for Henry to run through. Henry is special but he didn't need to be special against us. Hall or really any RB can just as easily coast through those truck-sized gaps. So hopefully our DTs, LBs, and safeties play much much better this weekend.

Interesting that Logue gets the call up over Phillips. Makes me think 1st string will be Sanders/DQ, and 2nd string Walker/Logue. Good opportunity for the rookies to show off their pass rush.

Sucks but we are entering the weak part of our schedule. We can live without him for 2-3 games. Banged Up Bills on Twitter is saying the mechanism of the injury (foot stepped on) likely means it isn't too severe and the timeframe to return shouldn't be too long.

He's not playing great but the pass protection and OL are doing him no favors. Every pass is rushed and no one is getting open quickly. Not a good combo for success. Green Bay's defense is for real.

Play for the FG, miss it, then give your opponent good field position to try for an even shorter FG. That's not how you steal a game that is slipping away from you.

Weird thing is he practiced in full yesterday and then spoke to the media after practice. Then ends up DNP wearing a walking boot on a walk through day... Did he hurt himself at home?

Cook practiced in full which is good news at least. Tre seems like he's trending to get back this week, or next week at the latest. Hopefully Oliver's boot and scooter is just precautionary and not a long term deal... but doesn't seem like the type of injury he'll be able to play through in 3 days.

Never seen a team have so many random injuries pop up after coming out of a game healthy. I just don't get it.

Sigh... what is going on with this team.

Bills 27 Jets 21 I expect the defense to rebound. Everyone in that room has to be mortified with their performance and it has to be better almost by default. On offense I believe with Allen playing like he did last week we can put up 30 on anybody. I'm a bit worried about Cook's hamstring, that's the only reason I'm only predicting 27.

Those players you mentioned haven't had issues with run fits before though. Certainly not to the disastrous level they did on Sunday. Milano has always been an elite cerebral player and it's not like he was getting beat up physically, he was overrunning his gaps or getting to his landmarks late. At a certain point the coaches have to be accountable for every single 2nd and 3rd level player having a worst game of their career type of performance. Getting beat by their cadence for example falls on coaching IMO. Week 1 you expect some rust but one team looked extremely prepared and one team looked like day one install of training camp. FWIW I chalk most of that up to Babich more than McDermott. McDermott hired him so he owns the final responsibility, but still Babich has to have his guys better prepared than that. As a head coach managing the game I thought McDermott was as good as I've ever seen him.

I didn't like that extension either. But to be fair to Bernard, Baltimore is the worst matchup for his skillset. He is not built to take on 400 lb pulling guards. His pass coverage is where I need to see improvement from last year to make that extension worth it. The more all-22 footage I've seen the more I blame (1) coaching because our players were not remotely prepared to play, and (2) Daquan Jones who is the only legit 1T on our roster and he couldn't shed a run block to save his life. We put Oliver at nose a few times and even he was more effective at that spot than DQ. We've built a small 2nd level which means we need the front to keep them clean... not give up wide open gaps with room for the RB and his pulling OL to escort him. The 2nd and 3rd level definitely misplayed a lot of their assignments but they were not put in favorable positions either. The way to beat Henry is make him hesitate just a bit in the backfield which requires penetration from the front. If he can just accelerate without breaking momentum that is a tough ask for almost any LB or safety.

And apparently that was the play he forced the fumble.

It definitely was not intentional but how funny that we won this game because Knox did a volleyball set into a basketball rebound from Coleman.

Last night was definitely not an indication of that. It's his first ever pro game, against the absolutely last offense you'd ask to welcome you to the NFL as a DT. In general I think fans are way too quick to want to make sweeping personnel changes based on this game. If it still looks the same in a few weeks yeah you look to make some changes. Personally though I think the defensive coaching staff needs to do a better job getting the guys they have prepared for the opponent. Ravens offense looked like a well oiled machine while our defense looked like day one install of training camp. The number of mental mistakes and missed responsibilities goes above and beyond the players IMO. We flat out were not ready on that side of the ball.
