Yes Henry could run (better) behind this line. That’s because he’s the best RB on the planet. But clearly even he would not be nearly as good behind our line. But you don’t need a Henry to have an adequate run game. Franchise backs, being RBs around whom you might choose to build your offence are rarer than franchise QBs. Henry and Chubb? Motor was the centrepiece of his college O. He got like 50% of the snaps. And if you check the tape you will see that he got good support from his line. He’s probably also a guy who needs lots of carries to get going, touches he will never see at this level and on this O. Moss is a tough runner with soft hands. These guys aren’t great but they are good enuf to set up your passing game. The problem is the line. It is trash.

We can hate them all we want but that is a good organization. Coaching is excellent. Never once have I seen them trot out an O-line as pathetic as what the Bills did yesterday - and with a few exceptions, mid to late round guys. I like Jones. I don’t agree that he is Joe Burrow good, but he can execute that offence. He is prolly more than just a game manager. The key when playing them is to stop the run. Our secondary should be able to handle their passing game. With our O line issues I shudder to think what Judon will do to Josh.

Well if there is anything that encourages me it’s the Bills D. There are some things that I don’t like but at the end of the day it’s very good. And I think on that side of the ball the coaches and players can suck it up when the going gets tough later in the year. That alone will make the Bills a tough team to beat in the playoffs (and yes I think we will see them).

Dawkins has been terrible. Simmons blew him up and it cost us the Titans game. He was awful yesterday. Many teams passed on Metcalf. Broncos took Risner, a great young guard, a few spots after Ford.

One of the things that the Bills are terrible at is in game adjustments. They don’t even appear to try. That speaks to the coaching imo.

I’m not a big fan of motor but you have a point. He needs carries to get going. He got like half the snaps on offence in college, hence his « motor moniker.

#28?

I wonder if his sight line was blocked by a Bills player (lineman?) standing between him and Sanders.

Ever notice when the GOAT himself has a bad game, its always because he’s got defenders in his face all day taking shots. All of a sudden his passes inexplicably go awry and he misses open receivers. And PM in last year’s championship. Josh Allen wasn’t good today but I think I know why. Hero ball is the only fallback when he’s a one man show.

Terrible read by Josh. Motor would have run for 20.

Yep that’s why I figured I was wrong at the time.

I did not understand picking Ford ahead of Risner (if you had to pick O-line). Ford looked to me like a guy with terrible feet so I didn’t understand why he was being drafted as a tackle. Risner has turned into a very good young guard.

A thing that should never be seen

That’s a fumble

Jackson always bites hard

Right tackle offside again

Something is not right with Beas

This is like watching a bout of midget wrestling.

Guy missed three in a row…

Dawkins having a bad day

Back up the truck for Wyatt Teller. Better late than never.

What?

I will see Greg Cosell and I will raise him. JMO but I think Josh Allen will eventually (not today and probably not tomorrow) take the art of playing quarterback to a level not previously seen. I think he has the physical and mental wherewithal to do that and I think he fully intends to do it. I do think that PM has maybe pretty much plateaud, albeit at a very high level. He’s a great player and his troubles this year, however we chose to account for them, do not imo detract from what we have already seen and know. But Josh Allen has not plateaud. Though already a superstar, he’s today maybe 70%- 80% the player he will be. There are still rough edges to his game that he will refine. His talent and his prospects have yet to mature. Meanwhile there will be bad plays and also subpar games. Given the untrodden path that has led him to stardom, his career is really just getting started. Barring injury he might well play for the next 10-12 years or more. Winning of course is important but there are some great QBs, including HoFmers, who never got there, so winning cannot be determinative in QB evaluations. Is Brady six times better than AR? Don’t think so. Its a team sport. Fortunately Allen now has the horses to help him continue to develop but its worth mentioning that it goes both ways and my eyes tell me that he actually makes them better than they make him. Josh Allen leads his team in every possible way.

Yeah he was trying to look happy when the Jets scored. Didnt work.

Just all round awful.
