Arizona deserved the win, in the second half their defense had an answer for all the Bills were throwing to them. We were in the game for two lucky plays, the fumble and the Poyer int. Still a very tough way to lose, it was 1.30 am in Italy when game ended and still I had problems to fall asleep.

I think the same and I am surprised to read LOT of praise for Klein. Maybe the reason is that I don't get the skill for the blitz, I always think that they are the consequences of missing assignments by the opposing oline. Klein was terrible vs outside zone, always choosing very bad angles, he made a couple of good play in coverage though. Anyway, if he gives the best on the LOS as the 5th rusher let him do that job

Agreed, coming with such perfect angle and perfect timing Hyde would have been separated the ball from the receiver without hitting the receiver face.

Thanks a lot

Can you link me any resources analyzing all 22 clips? Not just the Bills, any good stuff is appreciated, thanks

I am watching the clip right now, Tre was aligned on the line of scrimmage in outside shade, he called the "switch" right from the start, probably he didn't push Kelce because he was afraid to get beaten by the swing pass to the flat. I am not so much into the X and Os to understand the responsabilities though... Correction: the HB ran an out route

Isn't White supposed to make contact with Kelce to slow him down before taking account of the HB running in the flat?

I think it is a problem of fundamentals, against the Chiefs his throws were "all arm", it was very ugly to see. I know only a QB that could make these ugly throws work and his name is Brett Favre. The strange thing is that I think he moves very well in the pocket, he avoides sacks and recognizes pressure, but when it's time to throw the body is simply not set. I don't know what caused this regression, maybe is the injured shoulder, but in my opinion he has to get back to the fundamentals.

What was most bothering me was those outside runs being totally uncontested at the line of scrimmage and going for 8+ yards consistently. Wasn't the sideline to sideline cover ability one of the most celebrated Edmunds abilities? Instead our LBs were always clogged in the middle. I don't know if it was too easy for the OL reaching the second level, if our LBs were attacking the wrong gaps, or if our DE was losing the end contain, but it was painful to watch. And the missed tackles.

If we played man with cover 1 with Johnson in outside shade funnelling the receiver to the inside there is no way the safety can give up 20 yards to the receiver, even if the cb has been beaten BADLY.

Anyway Schwartz defense did not blitz almost at all, relying on DE getting to the QB from the wide 9 position. Problem is that we had Mario Williams and Jerry Hughes in his prime, back in the "Stampede" days, now we have Trent Murphy.

My take is that our defense falls apart WHEN we are blitzing, middle of the field is left completely open and wideouts have too much space to work 1 on 1 with our CB3 and CB4...

Cole Beasley was the only one playing with heart

Bills played without heart, with the only notable exception of Cole Beasley. You can see that on Allen second interception, Beasley, being the smaller player on the field, was the only one hustling to make the tackle, the other ones played soft giving up huge chunks of yardage. WHAT THE ***** WAS GABRIEL DAVIS DOING ON THAT PLAY, IF I WERE MC DERMOTT I WOULD BE FURIOUS. Mistakes happen, lack of effort is inenexcusable.

Titans played hard, Bills played soft, end of story

We are becoming a team of pussies, I Hope we can rebound against kc

I am a fan of strong defenses, 13-10 hard fought football games when every first down must be earned. It can be a matter of schemes, lack of pre season, lack of audience, referee calls, but this year I see offenses having a stronger will and passion and hustle than defenses. I see a lot of miracoulous contested catches, running backs breaking incredible tackles, qbs escaping the pressure and delivering at the very last instant... It seems that iconic defensive players bringing the HEAT on the football field are gone, I am thinking of players like Troy Polamalu, Ray Lewis... I don't know if others share the same thoughts.

Finally some good defense in LV KC game

This

I agree, but only because the hit arrived way before the ball. In case of a bang bang play I will give the possibility to the DB to play "through" the receiver, I saw a lot of DPI called in this case.

In my opinion it is a borderline call, if the receiver is not moving WAITING for the ball, the db must have the right to play the ball thus making contact with the receiver. As the rule is ruled right now, I fear this is PI...

As a European guy, reading this topic I was like "man, he will never find a Bills bar in Greece, what is he thinking???".

He used to say the famous catchphrase at the decising moment of the game, even if there was still time to play, the game was over and everyone could tell their mom they would be ready to have lunch!

You cannot develop herd immunity to this epidemy without sacrificing too many lives. Too many people will need artificial breathing and there is no enough treatment for everybody. And I am talking about people in the 30/50 years of age. Now that there are BIG hot beds that went over control the only way is the lockdown italian way, also UK understood this and after he told the worst things about how we managed the infections he is simplying copying our laws. After the big hot beds will be over, you can copy what Korea made, that is trace EVERY case and lockdown only the positve spots with the use of local mass testing and technology to follow the chains of infection. Italy is experimenting this with success in small centers in the countryside.
