Let's be real here, Luke and Shaq were sitting. How much game planning would you do with Carter and Smith and expect it to matter.  Even if you were gameplanning, losing Kuechly alone is a blow. Then when you have no starting linebackers in,  you get what happened. They gashed the linebackers all day. The safeties were playing up because there were gaps everywhere.  The line got pressure all day without really blitzing. If there weren't so many wide open guys over the middle, we might have gotten ti the QB more often. Does anyone thing that Kuechly wouldn't have shut that down 

Very true.  In a real game-plan Carter would not be covering Cole Beasley 1 on 1 for 15 plays straight.  He got schooled.

Ron reads the huddle confirmed.  My message to Ron - keep Allen as back up and put Grier on PS.  If there is one area which we are weakest it has to be OL so if you get the urge to do another signing that is the position.

Panthers Play some starters one series and we don’t win the pre season game. Huddles reaction:

The huddle for about 10 people that started threads of our season is over right after the first half of the bills game.

Vanilla game plans are perfectly acceptable in preseason, in my opinion. However, it becomes difficult to evaluate the rest of the defense when the ILBs were getting beat like they did. Similarly difficult to evaluate a QB when offensive linemen are getting beat in under 3 seconds consistently. Not saying the oline was that bad, just making an analogy.

it was clear the panthers where attempting to work on things and the bills knew exactly where the weakness in the defense lay. no excuses but we had a lot of one on ones and linebackers lined up on quicker backs and receivers. i am not worried. 

Lol that's exactly what you call game planning vs not game planning. We were just running situations and looking at Depth. It's probably the reason Buffalo starts fast then fades. If you show early you slow late in the season because teams have a ton of film.

There is no benefit at all to showing any of our defensive looks for our new scheme in the preseason. I wouldn’t give the rams or Bucs anything to take note of. It is critical that this team starts fast this year and hopefully showing the rams and Bucs something they have no tape on will allow the team to get out of the gate 2-0.

I really hate how the term vanilla gets tossed around every preseason.

Did we have a vanilla defensive gameplan in Pittsburgh last year too?

No...sadly that was just an ass beating.

The defense wasn’t really my concern. It was neither backup QB being able to hit the broad side of a barn and the OL not looking great. Luke wasn’t playing. If Luke is out, our defense doesn’t have much of a chance anyway. He’s the only real LB we have left that’s even decent.
