The problem is, you won't be able to do that with what we have under center, unless he comes out and lights it up. Hard to run the ball effectively when the defense knows we can't throw it.

Haha this is me. Don't post a ton, but it's great entertainment! I do agree with you here, Yolo.... But that's literally the only play I remember him from last year. I don't remember going "Wow, look at that awesome play by DiMarco!" When I read his name, that's literally the only thing I can think of that he's done in a Bills uniform.

Dude. It's a workout.

Named Peterman the starter, now this? I guess there's no need for a punter when you throw picks every series! ??

I think it's pretty clear he is NOT starting week 1.

I'm in the 8-8 camp. I don't see all the doom and gloom that some do. I don't think we'll be any better than last year, just due to the rebuilding process, but I don't buy into the "we're going to draft first overall" nonsense either. I don't see us being much worse than last year.

I don't think the production we get from Clay is worth the cost. I wouldn't be surprised to see him get cut and they keep O'Leary

Not really. Because as a general rule, the people writing for bleacher report are fans that just do not know the ins and outs. That's why it's called "bleacher report"

secondary is MILES better

Lombardi is a moron. End of story. Isn't he the same guy that said Doug Pedersen was "the least qualified head coach" he's ever seen, or something to that effect?

Didn't they all say that last year and we ended up in the playoffs? Again, Bleacher Report is just that.... a report from the bleachers. I don't put a lot of stock into what they have to say.

Good news for the Bills!

"Bleacher Report" is just that. A report from the bleachers. I don't put a lot of stock into their articles.

As well he should. He's probably been one of the brightest spots of this preseason.

As does basically every NFL team....

Why can't two things be true at once? Why cant we win now while still building for the future? Remember a year ago when everyone said we were tanking?

Haha, no worries. Like I said, that's one area of the game that I have very limited knowledge, and it just really stuck out to me how well we ran the ball and how terrible we are at pass blocking. I think you made some good points. Just looking for insight because it is somewhat intriguing.

The knuckleheads make for better news, and that's all the "media" cares about.

I’m asking this because I truly do not know the ins and outs, blocking schemes, etc. of offensive line play. It’s the one area of the game that I just have absolutely zero experience or knowledge about. How is can a group of guys run block so well, but pass block so poorly? The run game was going well on Sunday. But on passing downs our O-line just got rocked. It’s it scheme? And if so, what do I look for?

And we’re still paying the price, and CANT address these issues as well as we could, because of the salary cap hell we’re in, much of which stems front the regime that drafted Manuel, and who traded away the farm to draft mediocre talent. Thankfully, we’ll be in a good spot cap-wise next offseason and can really start adding quality talent. But if they can’t get the oline figured out... it’s gojng to be a long 17 weeks.

Yeah, and I watched plenty of Henderson and Kouandjio over the last couple years. Again as someone else asked (and which prompted your reply), what’s the difference?

The run game definitely was a bright spot, and that’s without Shady. It’s crazy to me how an O-Line can run block so well and pass block SO terrible. It doesn’t make sense to me.

He has played well. The ball just looks ugly... like it just hangs up there for EVER though. But I can’t argue with results, even if he has the Chad Pennington noodle arm.

There was one early in the game, may have been the first one, Groy looked like a high school kid playing in his first game. It was embarrassing to watch.

I think if he Shines, McD is a fool for continuing the QB competition song and dance.... and McD is no fool.
