  1. If you have the defense to erase the TO's then having a gunslinger can work out.  It's always better to not turn the ball over a lot but if your defense is playing well it hurts less.  The more you do it the more it bites you in the butt.  My largest complaint is that it isn't a here or there thing.  Pretty much every week we turn the ball over.  

  2. In my mind to think he had a bad game and still had 359 yards and 2 TDs.  Imagine if he had a good game.  He doesn't throw the picks, Cooks makes a catch, and he hits Diggs it's not unthinkable that Josh could have had 500 yards and 4TD's against the Fins.

    It isn't just one bad game though. He has been the weak link for a couple months now.

    Teams have been using creeper blitzes and actual blitzes in the A gap.  It makes it much harder on any guards say nothing about rookies who tend to be more mauler than finesse type guys.  They need to clean up the protection.  I'm guessing it's as much confusion as it is anything.  I have to hope it can get coached up better and have better results.  I also think they could scheme up plays to get them out of the A gaps.  Wilkins is a terror either way.   Some weeks we do the same things to some very good teams.

    Edwards won a Super Bowl as a starting guard with the Rams. Bates was a steady player for us last year and would be better with an improved Spencer Brown next to him.

     

    I'm not expecting sudden greatness. I would just like the floor to be raised.

    And so did Rapp but I'm not starting him over Poyer if Poyer has a bad game.

  5. McGovern is probably our best pass blocking guard and he gets bull rushed often enough.  Wilkins probably takes any guard we have and eats their lunch.  We didn't do much running right at him which I would have like to have seen.  They did however shorten up some of the passes and Kincaid and Shikir made the catches and kept the chains moving.

    I'm not trying to be inflammatory here. This is a genuine question.

     

    Torrence has been the clear weak link on the Bills offense in recent weeks. He's getting beat inside off the snap at a frighteningly high rate. He's making mental mistakes that allow free rushers up the middle.

     

    It's no blight on him as a draft pick if we bench him. It's known that OL players in particular take time to develop, and with his body type it would not be a surprise at all if he's hit the rookie wall playing 100% of the snaps this season. And there's still 4 (hopefully) games to go...

     

    I just don't know if we can live with Torrence's mistakes in a playoff run that looks like it will be a true gauntlet. We have steady vets in David Edwards and Ryan Bates waiting in the wings. I think the coaching staff should seriously consider making a change now before it's too late.

    Who are you subbing in for him against Wilkins with A gap blitzes who will do better?

  7. For the love of god .............. you can love Allen and still hate the turnovers.  If Diggs was dropping every pass you say catch the ball.  If Dawkins was getting false starts every play you'd say clean up the penalties.  Allen is turning the ball over people are going to say stop turning the ball over.  It only makes sense.

    That's a patently ridiculous thing to say. Someone missed a block.

    He didn't know the blitz was coming and he had to get rid of it?  Missed block or not that ball needed to come out quick and as usual he was holding it.  Josh is literally unable to throw quick passes.  He either escapes the pocket or he takes a sack.  I wish I was totally exaggerating but that's mostly true.
