Bills Week Four Film Review - Are These the Same Old Buffalo Bills?

Patrick Moran discusses a fiery Buffalo Bills film review after going back through the All-22 from Buffalo's frustrating loss to the New England Patriots—and somehow, the defeat looks even worse the second time around.Patrick explains why this loss bothers him far more than a typical early-season stumble and why Buffalo's defense is becoming a legitimate concern despite the Bills sitting at 3-1.The biggest focus is Max Hairston, who endured a brutal performance against New England. Patrick breaks down the coverage problems, the big plays surrendered and one late-game moment that raises serious questions about effort. With Christian Benford potentially returning, should Hairston's starting job already be in jeopardy?He's hardly the only concern in the secondary. Cole Bishop's regression continues to be troubling, while Terrel Bernard doesn't appear to have the speed and explosiveness Buffalo has counted on in the past. Patrick discusses whether Jim Leonhard and the Bills should consider personnel changes at both cornerback and linebacker.There's plenty of blame on the offensive side as well. Josh Allen made several costly decisions, including the late interception, while Buffalo failed to get Dalton Kincaid and James Cook involved nearly enough. Patrick questions Joe Brady's game plan, offensive philosophy and the decision to continue taking the football after winning the opening coin toss.Plus, thoughts on Dion Dawkins' rough afternoon, Josh Palmer's inconsistent performance, Khalil Shakir's costly mistakes, Keon Coleman's continued emergence and why Buffalo's upcoming matchup with Matthew Stafford, Puka Nacua and the Los Angeles Rams suddenly looks frightening.KEY TAKEAWAYSBuffalo's defense is becoming a legitimate concern. The secondary has struggled badly through the first month, and Patrick isn't convinced the current back seven is good enough for a legitimate Super Bowl run.Max Hairston's performance demands attention. New England repeatedly attacked him in critical situations, and Patrick believes Buffalo should seriously consider a change at cornerback when Christian Benford returns.Cole Bishop and Terrel Bernard are trending in the wrong direction. Bishop hasn't looked like the player Buffalo saw last season, while Bernard appears to have lost some of the explosiveness that previously made him such an impactful linebacker.Josh Allen and the offense deserve their share of the blame. Allen made several poor decisions, but Buffalo's game plan also failed to feature Dalton Kincaid and James Cook enough.This loss could matter later. Buffalo missed a major opportunity to put distance between itself and New England in the AFC East, and Patrick believes this is the type of defeat that could have playoff-seeding ramifications later in the season.Today’s episode is brought to you by the law offices of William Mattar.
