A Few Thoughts about the AFC East Run, in no particular order

Re: tackling.... Steve Tasker made a good point on OBL the other day when he said tackling is just being taught differently these days.  Not just in Buffalo, but everywhere, and we're starting to see the consequences of it.  Not just in Buffalo, but everywhere.  Used to be you would hit above the shoulders or below the knees to knock the ballcarrier off balance, or you'd put your hat right on the ball to knock it out; for safety reasons you can't do any of that anymore, so guys are being taught to try to wrestle ballcarriers to the ground while hopefully holding them up long enough for someone else to get in there and strip the ball out.  That's harder to do and I don't think the Bills are the only team suffering from that.  We've broken our share of arm tackles ourselves.

Couldn’t agree more about Hamlin. Seemed like he started out strong but has really regressed the past few weeks. Really becoming a big concern, and teams are figuring out how to take advantage of him.

 

Hyde better come back or we’re going to have to look at a S in the early rounds.

or Hamlin become better.  He is a young player and need the time on the field.
