Thanks to Joe Pinzone of Buffalo Wins for joining us for this week's question and answer exchange. Our questions and Joe's answers follow, after the jump. Total Titans: After eight weeks, the Bills were the #2 seed in the AFC. Now, they're on the outside of the playoff picture and seem to be trending downward. What's behind the recent decline?

Fan Friday 12-2

Welcome home Bills. Haven’t played at the Ralph in a month! Let’s get to your questions from AskChris@bills.nfl.net. 1 – Chris, I am really concerned about the linebackers and DB’s. Even though they have a lot of turnovers they look very inadequate in coverage. Nick Barnett is the only linebacker that shows up consistently, and the pass coverage is awful for a team...
