Who is most to blame for Defense

I know we need better players but I have to pick Gray. He does not seem to learn from mistakes

Look at the film. Were players in position to stop plays? I think they were. Did they do it? No. My point. A little bit of youthful exuberance caused some over-running. One or two need to be replaced- we got nothing out of our linebackers today, but this is a good core, and they are well coached. Be patient. Our time will come.

We just weren't tackling, and shutting off the safety valves. Aaron Schobel came to play though. Too bad the rest of the D didn't.

Our guys were there, they just didn't finish. Jerry G was not to blame for today, his players were.

I also voted the players. Like gameboy said, we were coordinated perfectly 9 times out of 10, but when it came time to make the hit, our guys just messed up.

Best example I can think of is on a 3rd and 6 there was a screen to Antoin Smith, Watson was lined up a little to his left, he rushed strait at smith, dove, and missed. Should he have been more conservative and move over, allowing a 2-3 yard gain, he could have had the hit.

Then again on the 45 yard screen pass-to-touchdown was made to a NE tight end (name slips my mind) he was engaged by not one, but two Bills secondary, which he evaded with a small hurdle and a spin.

Plus the picture on the main page says it all...

Well... into the bye week we go.
