I thought they played pretty well today. But his philosophy with his safety play just won't work. It's too easy for a team to hang around when a first down can be had at will. Use the safeties, get them up in the box at times and play football. Playing the way GW wants to play only works when you can eliminate big plays entirely. We only gave up one today, but that was one too many. Play more aggressively and you force more punts and turnovers. Then you can give up a big play every once in awhile and it won't totally cripple your team.

Two big plays, I'm sorry. I forgot how when given every possible defensive advantage, our guys still couldn't defend a deep in route from Josh Reed. It's only, you know, the only place the Bills can go with the football at that point. We can't excuse that. He made bad calls against the Cards and got lucky there, bad calls against Philly the first time, and a great individual play saved us there, gave up huge plays vs. Dallas and Philly (2nd time), and doesn't ever account for the QB in pass coverage.

Gregg Williams may not have a lot of help, but he's doing a bad job, and it's becoming a trend. Either he swallows his pride and makes adjustments or we get someone who can.
