Yeah, great OL depth isn't something a lot of teams think about first, but having at least a couple guys that can immediately step in and keep the offense rolling at close to normal is huge. If Spencer Brown is going to IR, that's a big loss for the Bills OL, but Ryan Van Demark, while obviously not the same, can hold his own.

They go hand in hand. Our OL appears to have regressed because our WR room has regressed. Our receivers weren't great last year by any stretch of the imagination, but they were head and shoulders better than this season. At least in the scramble drill, Josh was able to find open guys and there was an actual effort to get open. Combine that with predicable play calling, and it's a recipe for disaster.

Landon Jackson. Couldn't get a gameday jersey then got hurt almost immediately after he did. He didn't look so good in camp or in the preseason games he played in either. He's a project for sure.

Next man up. We'll see how good (or not so good) their depth is on the OL. Those are actually pretty good situations, not that any injury is great, but if neither require surgery, there shouldn't be any long term effects once they heal up.

To be fair, that would mean we miss out on drafting guys like DeWayne Carter & Edefuan Ulofoshio.

And not a lot of glaring holes to fill on that roster. Will be interesting to see if they attempt to draft Stafford's replacement this year, but with this draft class looking thin at QB, they might wait another year.

Watching Benford go down in the AFCCG and Elam coming in was like watching our SB chances go up in smoke. I had little faith we'd win that game with Elam playing. Funny how it took Dallas so long to figure out what we already knew.

I'm so frustrated with this front office right now, I'm honestly conflicted if I even want to see them in the playoffs because a playoff birth probably means business as usual and not much is going to change in the offseason. I just don't see a deep playoff run and a ring is a pipe dream even if we miraculously got to the SB.

That's the drawback of having someone like Josh. He covers up so many warts, it can create a false sense of security. The problem has always been there and it has just gotten worse, but the play of the Alien got people to buy into the nonsense the front office was peddling that this team could win a championship with receivers who look as pathetic as they did on Thursday.

Remember back when Diggs was here and all we were asking for was a steady WR2 to complement Diggs and take some attention away from him? Now, Beane has somehow managed to convince a good portion of this fan base we didn't even really need a competent WR2 even though he was contemplating parting ways with a first round pick mid-season, which to me is an admission he knows he's wrong. I'd be more worried about making the playoffs at this point. Josh Allen is only taking this team so far and the lack of talent on this roster has reached critical mass. Josh simple can't do enough to hide it anymore.

Going to suck so bad. Moving to the new house and this team's window may have already closed. I feel so bad for Josh and the incompetence he's forced to deal with in this front office. But hey, I hear Shaq Lawson is back in town. 🙄

That's the only way any needed changes are even considered by Pegula, IMO. Unlike the Sabres, postseason football has become routine. Not making it should at least raise a Pegula eyebrow. At least I would hope.

Compared to the Bills right now, the definition of cream has been expanded.

I'm almost at the point where I hope we don't. I don't want to hear that anything can happen in the playoffs. No, the cream rises to the top in the playoffs. I'd rather save the embarrassment to be honest and get a better draft pick, not that I trust Beane to do anything good with it.

Rams are on another level. If last year's game was this year, it's not close.

Stafford is MVP. This guy putting on a clinic.

They've been my pick to win the SB for at least 8 weeks now. Couple tough losses, but hard to argue they're not the most complete team in the NFL, IMO.

Can he separate?

Vrabel is coach of the year. Can't see how he doesn't win easy.

Man, back then we were asking for a steady WR2 to compliment Diggs. Now we're at the point where we're begging for somebody, anybody who can just get open. And we have a GM who was basically telling people in the offseason to stop complaining. By mid-season he's contemplating parting ways with 1st round picks because he knows he was wrong and here we are.

If Stafford retires within the next couple years and the Bills are in no man's land stuck between legit super bowl contender and mediocre, I could see the Rams making a serious run at trying to get him. I would be absolutely sick seeing him leave and it would be bittersweet seeing him succeed and win a ring with another team, but he deserves it and my doubts are continuing to grow that a Lombardi is a possibility for this organization under the current regime.

I can't believe it took Bernard getting hurt to get Shaq in the game. He's been ou best LB this year by far IMO and I don't think that was really difficult to see.

Just another coaching blunder on a night of many. We still got badly outplayed and still had the chance to steal this game.

They'll "learn from it". Yeah, you'll learn this team is soft, lacks talent at several spots and isn't going anywhere this year.

There were I'd say at least 3 where he was out of the pocket and had the chance to throw it away but didn't.
