Not sure if it's OK for me to say this...but Poyer is toast

[Hebert19]

He looks sooooo slow out there. Penalty was a BS call but he has been rough to watch all season.  A step slow a lot.  I know there is a lot of love for the dude and it's deserved but he is NOT good right now. 

[Einstein]

He looked a step slow last season.

 

He looks 3 steps slow this season.

 

One of my favorite Bills ever but his prime is behind him. Thank you for your service Po.

The instincts are there, the speed and agility just isn't anymore.  He was never a real fast guy to begin with, but he was fast enough.

 

Now you see why there was no teams wanting to bite for his asking price in free agency.

It's fair. He's been so good for so long for us that it feels almost dirty to say, but his time is up.

I could see rap overtaking him

[Donuts and Doritos]

He wasn't the problem today. Injuries to the defense & the offense not getting going & playing inconsistent are bigger issues.

Was Rapp even out there today. Never noticed him.

[Dr.Sack]

Poyer & Hyde need to make some plays.

This is right but both he and Hyde do look slow.

Our coverage group missed Benford and White a lot today...and Milano 😢

He's clearly washed and definitely looks so slow. But with all these guys hurt we're stuck.

Yeah, you can't absorb these 3 loses and expect to win.  Dane played well but Elam is done.

You can - if the offense played properly.

 

Feels like Poyer's time may be up, sadly.

[Jerome007]

Father Time catches us all, but he isn't THAT old! Hopefully he has some kind of nagging foot/calf issue that will go away soon. Who knows?

No, he was not the problem today. Poyer has gotten slower, and Safety will be a need this offseason.

 

That roughing penalty was bogus. 

[Special K]

He does seem past his prime, but to be fair, he just missed a game due to a knee injury and I am sure he wasn’t playing at 100% out there today.

[Fallser]

Yeah him and Hyde are probably both near the end unfortunately...sucks.

It's humbling how quickly we went from a dominant secondary a couple years ago to now...still perdy good, but definitely not where we were...

And that’s another issue… Rapp is not good either

From what I've heard from guys who actually watch film, Rapp has been worse.

[Freddie's Dead]

The penalty was crap.  Jagoff was trying to catch the ball, so you can't hit him?  Come on, man.  Po's knee could still be bothering him, so I'm not ready to throw dirt on his coffin just yet.  

[Watkins90]

Move him to linebacker where he doesn't have to be as fast.
