1. Stoud only played 1 series, so our D, wasnt realy the new D that we came to watch.

2. We had rookies and 5th string CBs playing Moss and Randall el. Our 6th string CB covered Moss the whole 1st quarter.

3. Crowell wasnt there. Was 9th in tackles. Our best player on D. alot of the runs were to his side.

4. Biggest one. Whitner wasnt there. Our safties over pursued and Portis ran all over us even in the 2ndary. Whitner is a good tackler, so he wouldnt let that happen.Also, most big pass plays came in the middle of the field. If Whitner played, they wouldve been crushed.

wrong... the biggest reason is that Perry Fewell is the defensive coordinator.

Thats also true. He shouldve blitzed alot. Our D seemed lost out there. Mitchell covered Randall el 2 times and obviously was burnt. Alot of it also had to do with new players.

On the first series, the defense prevented the Skins from doing anything. Mind you, this was a Bills team getting its first pre-season action, while the Redskins were on their 2nd game. Add in that Crowell, Whitner, and McGee were out (that's over 25% of the starting defense) and Stroud only played one series (that's over 33% of the starting defense out after the 1st series), and I'm not concerned at all.

Yeah. When stroud was in there we stopped them. The only big play for them was the pass that was at Corners side I think. We also got pressure on that play. With Whitner, it will prevent middle passes. With Crowell, they wont run it to his side. They have to decide, where do we run it. To Crowell, or Mitchell. Not a good desision. Yesturday the choice was clear since Ellison played.

It's early, but this coaching staff seems like it will be the achilles heel of this team...again.

I still can't figure out how Jauron let Fairchild ruin this team last year.

EVERYONE knew what plays we were going to run.

And Jauron let it happen.

He is going to do the same thing this year with Fewell.

The biggest reason in my opinion was the interchanging of DB's as early as Play #2 where 3rd and 4th options were coming in. Don't know if DJ was tryna eval them against a 1st string O. Shloby and Stroud came out after the first series as well. BTW is Ryan Denny 7ft tall? He towers over the entire team!

What happened was neither Kevin or Pat Williams played at all.

The biggest reason is that it is PRESEASON! They just go out and play, they are not running blitz packages or intricate game plans.

Are you guys just messing around, or do you really believe that we a are doomed because of 1 preseason game?

I can't wait for this season to just be over. I need to be put out of my misery. The season is over and done with. Trent is a bust. The defense is horrible.

I'm tired of the excuses.

Jaruon is supposed to be some sort of defensive guru and Bills teams have been god awful. Either put up or shut up and get your skelton looking ass out of town jack!

we were doomed when we let Pat Williams walk.

we were doomed when Jauron became our head coach.

we were doomed by a complete inability to find a QB by at least 3 FO's over a 10 year period.

we were doomed when the FO did next to nothing to upgrade the NFL's 30th ranked offense.

we were doomed by years of giving contracts to guys like Tripplett, Schobel, Kelsay, Peerless Price, Tutan Reyes, etc who don't earn them on the field.

we were really doomed when Jason Peters started holding out.

Losing a preseason game isn't the reason why are doomed- it's just an on-the-field demonstration of why we are doomed.

we were doomed when we let Pat Williams walk. (agree but we have the next best thing)

we were doomed when Jauron became our head coach. (true, but we were doomed before that)

we were doomed by a complete inability to find a QB by at least 3 FO's over a 10 year period. (you cant say that untill the Edwards era ends)

we were doomed when the FO did next to nothing to upgrade the NFL's 30th ranked offense. (we only needed a WR and TE which we got, the TEs arent great, but there something)

we were doomed by years of giving contracts to guys like Tripplett, Schobel, Kelsay, Peerless Price, Tutan Reyes, etc who don't earn them on the field. (defintley true, but we have stopped, Stroud and Mitchell didnt cost much)


we were really doomed when Jason Peters started holding out. (thats Peters problem)

Losing a preseason game isn't the reason why are doomed- it's just an on-the-field demonstration of why we are doomed.
