A meltdown.

 

Anyone else remember before last season when a LOT of people here were screaming about us needing to sign Jones....then we ended up with Von?

 

Could you imagine this meltdown hitting right now had the Bills gone the Jones route instead?

I get that but that logic is flawed because you don't know how Jones would have worked out in Buffalo. Totally different situation. 

 

Secondly, the Von pick up hasn't produced much fruit due to his injury. So far the pick up of Von and the risks associated with it make the deal look less than favorable at the moment. 

 

Hopefully Von comes back and is healthy and can stay healthy. He will make everyone on the Dline better. He's a game changer and that's a great thing.

I don’t think this is exactly true
 

Whenever you take a look at the amount of sacks of the bills were putting up whenever Von Miller was healthy and how it affected the rest of the Defense. I do believe we were one of the highest rated teams for sacks in the league while he was playing.

 

Yes, he did get hurt. It’s a gamble with a player of his age but it’s a gamble that was worth taking.

I liked that Beane went out and get a game changer. I'm not going to pretend like I didn't like the pick up. 

 

It was a calculated gamble. Hard to know what kind of Von the Bills get when he returns. Hard to predict injuries. I think what's known is he makes the Bills defense much better. Come playoff time, a healthy Von certainly gives the Bills s better chance to go further. 

 

I will be disappointed if he's not available come playoff time. I think he's that important to the D.

Tailgating at my desk.

 

Not much of a crowd -- a Basset Hound, a Great Dane and a Rescue -- but they don't talk much during the game so they have that going for them.

I will be there! Section 207! Go Bills!!!

That yelling at the TV is going to set off that bass hound

Nah..Lucy is used to it over the almost 8 years of her life with me.

 

Tiny, the Great Dane, is more jumpy.

 

Chasnet, the Rescue, is pure evil and thus a Seahawks fan

elite - a select group that is superior in terms of ability or qualities to the rest of a group or society.

 

So you're saying fall weather is elite in a category of 4.  Got it.

Before I say this, I’m acknowledging that we probably won’t do it. Today is the day to stop this constant Nickel BS. Look I like Tarron Johnson. The guy is good at what he does. You want him on every 3rd down? Fine….we have 3 fast cover LBs. The reason every physical team dominates us is because we NEVER come off of Nickel. Put 3 LBs on the field against this team. 58/43/42. All of those guys can run and all of these guys can cover. We will lose almost noting in coverage and also gain so much against the run. These LBs give us a unique advantage whereas we almost don’t need a NB. These guys are all capable of covering at a high level. We should be the team in the league that plays the least Nickel, not the most.

Last week when Rapp substituted for Taron, we gave up big plays.  Rapp didn’t look good.  Taron is one of our top defenders.  Our D wasn’t issue.  They will fine tune after one week of football

I’ll go one step further. Put 5 freaking ppl on the DL. Vary the front ! For the love of god

honestly, I expect neither.

 

I’ve lost trust and belief in this team

 

I’d like to be proven wrong.

You’ve lost trust an d belief in this team because one player decided to give the game away?  
 

back to madden!!

Nah our Defense wasn’t the issue but I’m tired of not being able to stop the run. Being in pass defense as an everydown defense is why. This is not the team to mess around with run wise. They are going to line up and run it, with a FB until we should we can stop it and tackle. And you absolutely don’t want to get back on skates getting run over then let Adams get open behind it on play action. Put 3 LBs on the field and stop the run
