In case that Bills fans don't remember those two players are AJ Green, Julio Jones. Anyway, one blue chip player isn't going to turn this franchise around unless it's a QB who can do it all on his own regardless of how bad his offensive line is and the only guy I can think of that can do that is Russell Wilson. Even he needed a run game to take pressure off of him to make that offense work. Before yesterdays game Colts QB Andrew Luck begged the HC Frank Reich to please "run the ball", they did just that and the results were more than obvious. That Colts run game took the heat off of Luck and forced the Bills defenders to focus on stopping the run which opened up the Colts passing game and Luck skewered the Bills defense. 4 TDs passing for Andrew Luck Going back to that bolded sentence the Bills could have traded back from that #3 spot and still gotten two or more of the great players from that first round. Then you need to think about that second sentence because this offensive coaching staff can't be relied on to evaluate anyone.

Exactly! It blows my mind that all Bills fans can think of are defensive players like they are the magic that will turn this team around. It won't! How soon Bills fans forget that as little as 2014 the Bills had the #4 defense overall, were #1 in sacks, were #3 in passing yards allowed, #1 in passing TDs allowed. That year the team went 9-7 and didn't make the playoffs. 100 million for a DE, DT didn't make that much impact despite being one of the top teams in sacks. This franchise needs to be able to actually compete with the New England Patriots and that team has been a top 5 offensive team since 2005, and their defense has been up and down from a top 5 to a top 15. They have been built their offense around their QB and they protect him like he is the crown jewels. If they lose a WR, RB they find another who is equally as good if not better. This FO had better be upgrading the offensive line first and foremost and then the RBs, the WRs, the TEs. Building a power run offense that no team can stop should be the highest priority. By the same token the line should protect the QB like Brady is protected in NE. Next years draft should all be about the offense. I can't see McD retaining this same offensive coaching staff either. Hire a top OC and allow him to hire his assistants.

You mean that they will be passed out by then?

If the complaining was at biblical proportions today... I can't wait for next week.

I feel badly for the guy as he thought all he was going to do was mentor Allen. Not need to start a game with only two weeks to prepare. He might pull a Vonte...

That drive at last gave the defense some rest even if it was only 3 pts

Sweetness!! nice run MM

Ruh Oh...Ivory

He needs to watch the tape... And when he does I gotta wonder if he sees all the freaking penalties on his players?

I put that INT on KB more then on Anderson. KB is the opposite of DeAndre Hopkins who plays angry and thinks the ball is his and nobody else's.

the penalties have been a huge issue and clearly not thoroughly addressed

Anderson moving the ball well, I like it!

Does everyone have enough cheese?

he will look like YA Tittle soon enough

hey, a pass on first down

Got nothing to do with the Bills run game stinking and that part of the offense needs to work to win this game

I can see why Gruden is doing what he is doing and that is to clear money for the team to bring in younger, cheaper players. The Raiders have a cap imbalance in that they have 100 million in offense and 52 million on the defense The thing is that Gruden will never be happy with any QB unless he finds a Brainiac who can memorize a 1000 plays so when Gruden calls some obscure play he will know what it is that is being called. This whole thing feels like another Chip Kelly debacle and I don't see Gruden in Oakland very long if that team doesn't win by next year.

He got paid and now he stinks...so naturally Bills fans think he would do good here with this bad line, bad coaching, bad receiver corps...

When you look things over the Buffalo Bills passing offense is actually way worse then the Cardinals and if you go by QBs, Peterman is as bad as Rosen, if not worse. The credit goes to Josh Allen for not turning the ball over more and not the OC because Peterman is a turnover machine. Right now Buffalo is the 32nd team in the NFL in total offense, 32nd in first downs, 32nd in passing, 18th in rushing but that is because McCoy is so special. Chris Ivory has a 2.5 YPC avg. Allen has a 4.4 YPC avg. LeSean McCoy is 30th in rushing yards with a 4.0 YPC avg and Shady should be a top five rusher except that the Bills OC didn't call his number very often in the first few games. Going back to the numbers Buffalo is 32nd in receiving. If the only QB on the roster was Nathanial Peterman I think Daboll would also have been fired by now! Fire OC Daboll, and line coach Juan Castillo and replace the OC with Terry Robiskie the WR coach, replace the line coach with assistant line coach Andrew Dees. These men couldn't do much worse. This is results oriented business and having the very worst results should have consequences.

They did! Steve Tasker stated on his show that the Bills were in talks with Anderson before they signed AJ McCarron and he was weighing options of which team to choose to sign with. The Bills FO knows Anderson from his time at Carolina and that he did well in mentoring Cam Newton. So this is the Veteran QB the Bills were eyeing all along. They also knew that he wasn't going to give them a hard time while being a backup like McCarron would have done as he wanted to start. As far as Peterman is concerned I can see why this FO went with him as the starter for the season/Ravens game as he did so well in preseason as he had an insanely good completion percentage of 80% and was fourth in passing with 440 yards. McCarron stunk in preseason especially for most of the game against the Bears until they brought in their third stringers. Although, the FO has no excuse for keeping Peterman as a backup QB after that horrid performance against the Ravens week one. This FO did it right considering the options at hand at that time in terms of QBs at the start of the season, IMHO. The bigger problem is with the offensive line, WR corps and I can only think that there weren't what they considered better options out there. The Bills are very lucky that Josh Allen's injury wasn't more severe. Let's hope that Anderson does well enough and the Bills OC simplifies the offense while calling more running plays so that Allen can sit, learn and develop properly.

wonder if the cards FO rethinks the Bradford sitting, or perhaps they want that top 5 pick?

I'm actually kinda surprised that Rosen is going to survive the game with all the hits

Let's not forget that Bill Belichick took a guy who never started a single college game and went 11-5 with him the first year.

Fitzgerald has been hurt all year up until tonight's game.

Buffalo 2-4 Cleveland 2-3-1 Indy 1-5 Oakland 1-5 NY Giants 1-5 Detroit 2-3 Tampa 2-3 Atlanta 2-4 Arizona 1-5 San Fran 1-5
