buffalo_bills Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 The 2 biggest needs on the team right now. Although i believe the o-line is getting better, we desperately need a RT. Cant say the same thing about the LB's though. Moats looks like he may be someone to work with in the future,a and Poz. Buddy really needs to get some talented LB's this offseason, be it via draft or Free agency. Anyway, Fitz has showed that when he has time, we move the ball, and very well. It also helps our run game when the guys are blocking out there for Jackson and CJ. These two positions are the reason the Buffalo Bills are 2-10 and not 7-5. Don't tell me this thing cant be fixed in one offseason- because i know it can. The question is whether Buddy and the FO want to step up and make something happen with this franchise. Don't give me this 3-year rebuild bull ****. We have been waiting 11 years already god dammit! There is talent on this team, and some good young upcoming players. If the 08 Dolphins can do it, the Rams and Bucs of this year can do it, i am 1000% sure WE can do it! Thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In Gailey's press conference, he mentioned the Vikings pass rush as a problem, plus he said he learned something about his team today. IMO, I think Gailey realized that he needs to upgrade the O-line in the offseason (LT & RT). While Bell has played decently this year (especially coming off of knee surgery), he got beat up by an elite pass rusher in Jared Allen today. Maybe Gailey is starting to realize that he needs elite players on the O-line to give his QB time to make plays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think RT is the biggest problem on this line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billnutinphoenix Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Problem is I don't see a LB or a OL worthy of being picked as high as we will be picking... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 (edited) Problem is I don't see a LB or a OL worthy of being picked as high as we will be picking... If not LB then we could go DE or DT too. We need to address the front 7 and find some playmakers. OT and TE also need attention. I would not mind trading down and getting more picks, adding another 2 and 3 would be awesome. Edited December 6, 2010 by Bob in STL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr. Trooth Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 But Bell has been pretty solid overall this season We keep saying he's gonna be good. If he was, he wouldn't have gotten schooled today. He's as good as he's gonna get.... barely adequate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowery4 Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 We keep saying he's gonna be good. If he was, he wouldn't have gotten schooled today. He's as good as he's gonna get.... barely adequate. You can't see or spell the Truth apparently. Bell was no doubt bad today but any LT gives up one or 2 against JA. The timing of his breakdowns was very bad, to me this game was lost due to his play and McKelvins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 We keep saying he's gonna be good. If he was, he wouldn't have gotten schooled today. He's as good as he's gonna get.... barely adequate. Watching tonight's game by any chance? Oher has had 2 false start penalties with Harrison lined up against him and Flacco's been sacked twice. I guess Oher's a bust as well. And BTW, Hines Ward dropped an easy 3rd down pass that hit him in the chest to end the Steelers drive late in the 2nd quarter. I guess bad drops happen to everyone as well. My point being that bad games happen to all players all the time. It's funny how Bell and the line can play pretty good ball for 5 or 6 weeks, looking as though they're improving a little each week. Then, they have one bad game and suddenly they completely suck and its like all the decent play never happened. You can't expect perfection every week.

Green Lightning Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 We keep saying he's gonna be good. If he was, he wouldn't have gotten schooled today. He's as good as he's gonna get.... barely adequate. All LT's get beat. Especially against a freak like Allen. D. Bell ain't the issue. RT and depth are as far as the OL goes.

He's as good as he's gonna get.... barely adequate. Great point. Ignore every other game and point to one bad game in a blowout loss. Besides, that Allen guy is a scrub and I'm sure the crowd noise and the Bills being one dimensional doesn't help at all. Great post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Cincinnati Kid Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 I personally think that Bell is going to a terrific RT for us and we are going to draft our LT in the first or second round of this year's draft. Bell has all of the physical tools and is on his way to being an excellent O-lineman for us, but at the RT spot, IMO. Our top-flight LT is still in college.

I bet Allen isn't even in the league next year too. Such a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I now have to clean Pepsi off my monitor! Welcome to Buffalo, land of depression and the need for constant change.

Yeah, he hasn't given up a sack, which by some means something........that stat is garbage. Poz is really good 15 yards downfield. Where is Roscoe Parrish?

Dr. Fong Posted December 6, 2010 Share Posted December 6, 2010 Not LB, defensive LINE. When you have a good to great defensive line linebackers are a dime a dozen. When you have a ragtag group on the line the linebackers start to look like scrubs. I'm not saying the Bills have enough talent at linebacker, but with an improvement in the defensive line it becomes an easier hole to fill.
