Von Biller is just Von Miller

Yep. The more he talks the more I feel like he regrets coming here. He said right after he signed he had second thoughts. Then not long ago he said he felt homesick for the rams all through camp. He still brings up LA with McVay and OBJ a lot.  He does talk about the rest of the team as they or you guys.

 

He is producing tho

 

He's definitely dropped a few inuendos gushing over McVey and not so much McD.

Jeeez! All the critters crawl out after a loss. Disgraceful.

The defense has been terrible for a good portion of the year. Just like the years of our mediocrity. Stop then to give them a 3rd and long and then give up a huge play, usually because of a blown coverage. Or a DB that has played the position since he was a middle schooler doesn’t get his head around for the ball. Or a LB or S forgets how to tackle. It’s infuriating how bad this team is at tackling. And this is from a career defensive HC. Our top tier defenses even in the past few years have been smoke and mirrors.

OMG OP is blaming Von Miller for the loss yesterday? That is when I stopped reading. NO credit to the vikings OL and the team having a 1 loss record. Maybe just maybe there are issues on the team but him??

 

wow. that is stirring the pot allright. pot of b*******.

It happens when you’re missing your 4 of your 5 best DBs, your 2nd best pass rusher and your MLB (who’s playing the best football of his career).  
 

Cam Lewis was abysmal and lost the game more than anyone on the field.  The entire D wasn’t terrible.  Cam Lewis was.  And that’s expected.  That angle on Dalvins TD run…. Lol.  
 

Knock down the ball Cam.  KNOCK IT DOWN YOU IDIOT!!!

well, you misread it then. Simple as that. Wasn’t at all blaming the loss on Von Miller. Not even close.

I won’t disagree with the injuries in the D. BUT, I will back my point to the fact that this FO has completely ignored help on offense in previous years. Allen in his prime? No high draft picks on WRs, or OL. When you clearly have holes in those areas. 
 

and you and I completely disagree on Edmunds. He missed so many tackles yesterday or completely choose the wrong hole to plug leading to big plays. Story of his career. And if they resign him they are more clueless than I thought they were. Really hope this doesn’t happen. He’s not a top tier LB. He doesn’t make splash plays and doesn’t deserve to be paid what he’s going to ask for.

ahem No I don't think so.  You may not have said it in those exact terms but Today of all days you decided to write a hit piece regarding Von Miler?  I think you premises are founded in a conjecture that is bs.

I get that he has played for 3 different teams in approximately a one year span, and I get that he has been through every scenario as he constantly reminds us in every press conference, particularly with his endless references to playing for the Rams, where he played for one entire half season + playoffs, but…

 

Does anyone else get the sense from listening to his pressers that he still hasn’t embraced being a member of the Bills TEAM?

I Love Von. He’s honest. Transparent and a damn good football player. He’s been worth every penny

Edmunds has been playing his ball ball this season.  Maybe not yesterday, but when he went out, they had 10 points at the half.  Then we got dismantled.  
 

They haven’t “ignored” offense.  They haven’t addressed the offense like you (and I) wanted them to address it.  Ignore, no.  
 

No mention of Josh totally s******g the bed.  If Josh didn’t throw terrible picks and fumble snaps we wouldn’t be having this discussion.  We’d be 8-1.  
 

If our D was destroyed by injuries, we might be undefeated

maybe you should have kept going:

 

“look he is a great player and he has come through in some big moments for us. Unfortunately, we couldn’t capitalize on his last couple timely sacks, though.
 

But, it seems like when he is in press conferences, there is a little too much of “you guys” instead of “us”. No loss seems to bother him (was he like that in Denver too? Not sure) And I’ve never seen a Bills player openly express how much of a FAN he is of the opponent after getting beat, and select players on the opponent’s team.”

 

I specifically gave Von Miller credit for doing his job with timely sacks (that we were unable to capitalize on)

 

the entire thread was about getting sour on Miller’s approach to press conferences.

 

say what you want about that, but at no point did I blame the GAME on him. That would be ridiculous and make no sense at all.

 

the closest thing to that is when i implied he might be an even better player if he was a bit more team

oriented, but even then, I took a step back and said hey maybe that is who he has always been, in which case, keep doing you Von.

 

so Yes, you definitely misinterpreted OP

it was the timing after a Huge loss. Perdon.  After the first paragraph the rest became suspect in my book.    Von Miller not buying into our Team because he doesnt sound right to you in press conferences I find ridiculous. Above is putting lipstick on a pig.

Again, won’t disagree too much about the D because of the injuries. But you have a FO that has spent countless draft picks and FA pick ups on D. They should be deeper imo. I get that your entire defensive backfield was out. But you also knew the problems going into the trade deadline and picked up Marlowe as safety help. Yet he wasn’t on the field from what I could see yesterday. Instead you went with a converted DB for his first ever start at S. 
They knew the possibility of White not being prepared to play by the deadline I’m sure, and they picked up nobody. 
 

Yes, Josh played terrible at times yesterday and the last 3 games. But maybe if the defense could stop someone he wouldn’t feel the need to force things so much. 
the Defense gave up 23 points to comeback in the 2nd half yesterday and outplayed the last 2 weeks as well. We easily would have lost against the Packers if there was a few more minutes of clock. The defense has been atrocious in the 2nd half of games lately. I’d say that’s McD and Frazier making bad adjustments at halftime. Or at least a lack of adjustments. 
 

I really won’t argue Edmunds anymore. He’s not good. And he’s not worth what he’s going to ask for. Good LBs make splash plays, not tackle guys 5 yards downfield

Our defense completely melted down once he left the game yesterday.

Glad he is on our team, but his pressers are cringeworthy. He rambles the same thing over and over for 5 minutes.  I know it’s just a game, but saying yesterday was “a lot of fun” in an opening statement is a head scratcher.

fair enough. My point on his pressers doesn’t even qualify as a “concern” for me, as we have a laundry list of those and MAYBE I was trying to get my mind off of them for just a moment, but yes, it while it may not be a concern, it does bother me to some extent. Wouldn’t say it’s only my opinion though. While it may not be a popular one, others have certainty acknowledged it here and come up with better examples than I had to support my point as well. (Ie the talking up of Mcveigh and “missing” the LA Rams at times). I just feel like, you’re here now,  embrace it.

It wasn't victory formation.  They would kneeled into their endzone.
