  1. Our DL is full of undersized players and a useless Star luteleilei, I'm not saying I hate Ed Oliver or that he's a bad player but he often gets pushed around. Star Luteleilei was basically brought in to blow up run plays and most teams run right at him and over him. A guy like the DT that NE selected in the 2nd round over a guy like basham would have made more sense, We need to get bigger and stronger in the middle.

     

    As far as the O-Line goes we need both a LG/RG and possibly C, I don't think our RB's are terrible but there are literally no holes being opened for these guys to run through and think Zack Moss could easily be an every down back but we need to run more to be able to know for sure. Play calling is huge imo, it seems almost every game no matter if it's offense or defense this team will not adjust, they have a philosophy and they stick to it until the end and i hate that mentality.  If the run game isn't working how about some screens? The deep ball isn't open, hey isn't that what we brought in Beasley and Sanders for? These are just my opinions.

    Not the first to say it here, but really: Belichick didn't even consider attempting a FG into the wind. They threw Bass out there only because the offense went backwards so that going for it on 4th down wasn't an option. Bass deserves no blame whatsoever.

     

    It was a 33 yarder, I'm not hearing it.

  3. I see a bunch of people blaming coaches in this 1 but I'm putting this loss on the players, on offense dawson Knox had 3 dropped passes and a killer false start penalty, Stefon Diggs dropped TD, Tyler Bass missed a huge FG, Matt brieda fumbles that lead to the damien harris TD run and the horrid Bills defense that allowed run after run and lost to a offense that had 1 pass especially after getting blown out by the Colts they had to come in this 1 with a chip on their shoulders and they got smacked around.

    I haven't looked through every thread on the subject so apologies if it was already said. I dont post a lot on the board but wanted to add my thoughts to the game 1 vs Pittsburgh.

     

    I was worried about this game for one reason and I think my worries were justified after watching the game.  The offense didn't look like last years offense. Granted Pittsburgh has arguably one of, if not the best d line in the NFL but just watching on TV it seemed as if a couple of times things were open underneath but Josh decided to to go for the home run instead of taking what the D was giving. The film will come out later and tell me if I am right or wrong.

     

    I am saying all this to say I think it was a mistake to keep a lot of the starters on the bench for the bulk of the preseason.

     

    Even during the Superbowl years of the 90's Kelly and company always played a couple series in the preseason games I think it was a huge mistake not to get them in more in the preseason. We looked lost (and rusty) a couple of times on O  out there today.

     

    Josh and the O had one great season playing together, that doesn't warrant getting to sit all preseason except for the one or two series they played in the last preseason game. They should have played more. Josh looked indecisive and nervous. More playing time in the preseason might have taken care of that.

     

    Just my 2 cents.

     

     

     

    I agree with you but imo it's a simple Josh Allen was off his game, if he hits Emmanuel Sanders on that bomb where he clearly was a yard or so by the defender were up what 17-0 at the time? I think but there's no way to tell that if he hits that pass the wind is probably gone in the sail for Pittsburgh then Big Ben would have become 1 dimensional and we could have teed off on him and the 3 rookie OL they had but there is no way to tell that it's just my opinion and there were other plays where guys were open that he could of hit instead went deep, I don't think the gun slinger will ever leave Josh it's just in his DNA and we'll have to take the good with the bad, I've always compared him to Favre who will make you pull your hair out on 1 play then have your jaw drop the very next.

    We could well still make the playoffs but will end the same way.  They're going to have to figure out how to play against a good front 4, because that's what they're going to see in the playoffs.  Maybe going to have to invest a high pick on the OL too?

     

    Because they're addicted to chunk plays and they dont trust the OL in run blocking.  That, and no D coordinator is losing sleep over stopping Singletary

     

    I don't believe at all that they don't trust the OL in run blocking, they re-signed all those guys in the offseason, It's a Daboll thing imo I just don't know why.

    Fourth quarter, 20-10 Steelers, 3rd and goal for the Bills.

     

    Allen makes a rookie mistake and quickly locks onto the receiver in the right flat. The Steelers defense watches his eyes and shifts to cover. Allen makes a second mistake and throws to the line of scrimmage with two Steelers defenders between the receiver and the goal line. The Bills fails to score and settle for a field goal.

     

    The best play was actually on the other side. The receivers run a crossing route, the Steelers defenders blow the coverage and leave a wide open receiver heading to the corner of the end zone.

    Again, I feel like it's a continuation of what I was saying all last season but why doesn't this team run the ball? When Singletary ran he was gaining good chunks of yards I truly don't understand the refusal to run the ball in crucial moments no less especially being up by 10 points in a dog fight with a top notch defense running the ball could have eaten up alot of clock imo.

    When Brown was drafted, there was speculation by some of the Bills podcast guys of Williams kicking inside if Brown could take over RT. 
     

    Let’s see how they look over the next few games, but I’m hoping we have the solution to a dominant OL in house right now. 


    I wouldn't overreact to the OL play, I'll chalk this up to first game against one of the best defenses if not the best in the league and hopefully they improve their play when we meet them again in the playoffs. It easier saying we can put Williams in at G and add a rookie at RT and having it work out then it probably would.

  8. I considered Warren Sapp the best DT in the game until Aaron Donald came into the league, if he keeps up this pace for another 5-6 years I think he'll absolutely be the best to ever play. Warren Sapp had 254 Tackles, 96.5 sacks in 12 seasons, Donald has 337 Tackles, 85.5 sacks in 7 seasons, he'll probably blow by Sapps sack totals and not only is that amazing for a DT but he could be a HOF player if he quit right now. A SB win will make it much easier but I don't think it's necessary at all. When it's all said and done it may be hard to argue the fact players are calling him the best defensive player to ever play imo.

  9. I think it's going to be a very close game and I think both teams are closer to each other than some fans think. The huge difference is that Pittsburgh is going to transition into a run 1st offense with a power run game which we've had trouble with in the past. When we played Pittsburgh last season half of the defense was injured including stud ILB Devin Bush, all of them are healthy now along with CB Joe Haden, this is going to be a true test right off the bat for Buffalo imo. 

  10. I think Darryl Williams job is safe for this year at least unless he really ***** the bed. Brown seems to have a very high ceiling from what I've read and seen on him (I had no clue about the player before the draft) but also is a project in every sense of the word and even though I'm not saying he can't pick up things fast and take over the RT position right away, the odds are against him since Williams already knows the playbook and is a veteran in this league. I think the Interior OL is the more interesting at both RG and LG imo.

    The way I worded my reply was snarky...didn't mean for it to be.

     

    What I mean is that just looking at the number of sacks Jerry got (and has gotten recently) doesn't mean that he hasn't been a good pass rusher.  You mentioned Tampa in the Super Bowl.  They killed Mahomes because the pressure came from everywhere, not just one guy.  They're investing in the line to try to get consistent pressure from more than just one side because that (hopefully) results in sacks/turnovers instead of just pressures & QB hits.  Jerry does what he can more often than not but if a QB can just sidestep a bit or move up in the pocket because the rest of the line is getting dominated, then we're wasting his efforts.  It's no surprise that his best sack numbers were when we had Mario, Kyle and a good version of Dareus.

     

    Again sorry for the tone...I'm just a big Jerry supporter 😎

     

    I totally get it man, I hate talking bad about him since he's been such a soldier for us but he's coming to the end of his career and although I don't think sacks is the only factor to a pass rusher (I was in favor of signing Jadeveon Clowney), These youngens are coming for Hughes' job so I'm expecting him to be even more of a force than he's been.
