Bills Biggest Film Takeaways From The Windy City Debacle

On this episode of Talking Buffalo, Patrick Moran is going over all his biggest takeaways both good and (mostly) bad after watching the film back from the Buffalo Bills blowout loss to Chicago against the Bears, 38-0 on Sunday night.If you care about the outcome and score of the game which spoiler alert, you shouldn't then you're probably in panic mode as the Bills suffered their most lopsided preseason loss in three and a half decades. However, even if the outcome and score of the game doesn't matter some things you see from the players during it absolutely do, at least sometimes and Patrick, like probably most of you found plenty to note like. It was bad in real time and even worse on several occasions during All 22 film study and Patrick hits on a lot of it, including a completely miserable day for popular reserve inside linebacker Joe Andreessen, who continues to looks positively loss in pass coverage for a second straight week.While Andreessen's performance was discouraging, it pales in comparison to what we've continued to see from what's unmistakably the biggest concern on this team right now, the safety position. Cole Bishop returned for 12 snaps on Sunday and a few of them were a disaster. Damar Hamlin fared no better, alarming considering one of them are going to end up starting against Baltimore in a few weeks.It was also a pretty terrible game for Dane Jackson, Elijah Moore and Mike White--all of whom could've possibly played themselves out of a job.Conversely there were a few bright spots, including rookie safety Jordan Hancock and another nice flash from fellow rookie defensive tackles Deone Walker. Plus, hey---Brad Robbins punted well!That and plenty more discussed as the Bills will try to end the preseason on a less somber note this weekend in Tampa.The Talking Buffalo online merch store is now live!
