    Studs

    The D as a whole - Only allowing 6 points is impressive. even if it was against backups. with all the injuries most of our D is backups anyway

    Greg Williams - Fantastic gameplan. really got the most out of everyone

    Basham - was everywhere yesterday. Also got screwed out of a sack FF on a horrible overturned call. applied good pressure and had 2 batted passes, and recovered a fumble

    Jordan Jenkins - 1 PD, 1 sack, 2 TFL, 1 FF.

    Burgess - 9 tackles, 1 PD, 1 TFL, and 1 INT

    Maulet - played well in coverage, had a great diving INT, and was solid in the run game (2 TFL). really earned himself a spot next season IMO

    D-line as a whole - total of 4 TFLs from the d-line and constant pressure between them all

    Marcus Maye - great coverage and made some great tackles in the run game

    Crowder - 8 catches for 66 yards and a TD

    Pass blocking/darnold evasion - only let up 2 sacks


    Duds

    Run blocking - again the o-line was dominated and no holes were there

    Every WR not named crowder - didn't really do much at all. robby dropped a big one he should have caught and finished with only 18 yards on 3 catches.

    Bell - 77 total yards on 21 touches. he got chances and did rip off a few nice 10+ yard runs, but without blocking it's just not enouhg production from him

    Ficken - 2 missed FGs. the 50+ yarder is understandable but the chip shot he missed after that one was pretty bad. espcially in such a close game. it's the reason we lost to them week 1. missed FGs.

    I disagree on Maulet. The INT was a gift and he got manhandled by Duke on 3 different occasions. I counted those 3 missed tackles and could of been another one i’m not remembering. The rest is spot on.

    he played well. you have to remember dude is really a CB4 or 5 talent wise that is forced to start due to injuries and bad talent at the position.

    I don't think he was a stud though. I was really bad. Outside of getting lucky on that int he was probably one of the 6 worst jets on the field... him and our oline.

    he had no penalties. the bills only scored 6 points on offense and he had 2 tackles for a loss as well

    he was up and down but all things considered he made some big plays. and at the end of the day we only allowed 6 points and 0 TDs so hard to complain he didn't completely shut someone down.

    Not saying he was horrible but in no way was he a stud... he played pretty bad over all and got lucky on one play... hardly a stud. He's a cb 5 and you can tell.

    it wasn't 1 play and it was more then luck. he still made a great diving catch on it. he was also great in the run game with hard hits and good tackles and had 2 TFLs but yeah you can tell he's better suited as a CB4/5 but he's definitely earned a spot on our roster IMO as depth. as it stands right now I think we bring back maulet, poole, and hairston. then we have bless still. sign 1 FA CB to start and draft one with one of our 3rd rounders. Start bless, the FA, and poole in the slot and the rookie, hairston, and maulet are depth

    Personally I bring back Poole and Austin then pick between Hairston and Maulet. Neither are great but they could be worse (Daryl Roberts) then I sign one and draft one and if the other between those 2 are still available the can be a camp body and compete. Neither are guaranteed a spot. Hell we may get another udfa breakout.

    He was going against similar backups and wiffed on so many tackles. How anyone can watch how bad he was and give him a stud is beyond me. The Bills 4th or 5th WR had his way with him.

    That game, weather wise, was just awful so it was hard for me to make conclusions - I saw players making tackles and sliding on that turf at least 3-4 yards after the fact. Considering the circumstances and Gase's play calling I thought Darnold played well.

    Buffalo threw for less then 250 yards. they only scored 6 points (2 FGs) they had 11 drives. 6 punts, 2 FGs, 3 turnovers. I don't know how anyone can say anyone on the defense played badly really.

    Maulet is OK considering he was and is an UDFA. He provides decent depth and was forced into a starting role. It is true Maulet will eventually get exposed the longer he is on the field. But of course being he is not really starter material this is to be expected.

    I expect him to return to a back up role next season but will be in certain defensive packages with several DBs on the field kind of like he was this year.

    He is a decent depth player...

    The Bills were fielding a team that had the worst offense this team has seen the entire year. Just because he didn’t give up long TDs, doesn’t mean he didn’t play bad. He was a liability out there and he was getting picked on so much and wiffing on tackles that people on this board in the game thread were even calling on him to be replaced ala Bless Austin a few days ago.

    I'll go back and rewatch it but none of our players got "picked on" since you know we only let up 6 points. it seems the issue here is people complaining we were playing backups. the players don't have control over that
