Our Pass Defense (Davis got burned twice, by Evans on long passes), Our Pass Offense (can our TEs catch?), and 6 sacks to Chad Henne....
 
Well young corners will get burned its part of the learning process but vontae almost scored as much as the Bills offense today...as for getting burned all the guys made plays when it mattered most with their back against the wall they came up with big time plays.

and our pass blocking was UGH whiffed blocks are gonna get Henne killed but hopefully a week of work can trim that down....some of the sacks were him holding the ball to long...not saying he should have thrown or forced it but throwing it OB is what he needs to learn but that will come so while these are concerns all of these are coachable concerns...atleast we arent dealing with bad habits or just low level players
 
No....just pointing out areas where improvement is needed...and without a passing game, or open WRs or TEs, we might be too predictable (except for the Wildcat though)
 
Most of those sacks I'm glad he took, we were up by alot and there were some slight protection issues.

Lee Evans made some good catches, as did T.O. on one throw against our rookies, i'll take a pick 6 by Vontae if he gives up 8 catches for 100 yds. Vontae defended T.O. yes TERRIBLE OWENS in the endzone on a jump ball, perfectly. I'm not worried they played great, Trent Edwards is a decent NFL QB and Evans is a dolphin killer, if you told me he would make 2 catches today for 60 yards when they were down by 20 i'd take it.
 
Too many sacks. Yes Henne held the ball too long on a couple but Thomas was alittle disappointing at times again. Carey got beat bad on one early. Good news is that Henne and Thomas are both young and will only improve.
 
Yeah, you could'nt ask a corner to play any better on most of those catches.
 
I wasn't happy that they got burned, but it occurred in isolated instances whereas our previous games seemed to let big plays happen left and right. I've seen Buffalo play a lot this year and they've gotten those big plays in every game.
 
I'm with you on the sacks but those rookie corners played an outstanding game today.
 
I absolutely hate the fact we're "learning" how to play.. Its been going on for way too long and we should have players that dont need any "learning"..

But..... with that said, I saw a huge improvement in the pass defense.. I also like the fact we're playing more man up... should have been doing that since last year!!!

When you go 1-15 and basically do a complete revamp of the roster its going to take a lot of learning to get your team running at 100%. Even for the veterans, its a new team and new style.
 
You can blame a few of the sacks on Henne holding the ball too long, but yeah, there were a couple head-scratchers there.
 
Not sure how much better they can defend on the underthrows, which is where a lot of the big plays came from. I am more concerned about the sacks. They didn't pick up the blitz very well (Fasano!!!!). Expect Ryan to expose that even further next week. I hope they get that corrected.
