O-Line, reviving core, growing pains at QB, and depth will remain an issue throughout the season. But the fundamentals of this team are not worse than we thought. Throw McCarron or Peterman behind this line early and then push Allen in once the harder stretch of the season passes. sacrifice the lambs ? yes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forget the 2nd half, who else to blame for this mess once the real football has started, but our GM and Coach. There's nothing weirder than listening to announcers spend three hours talking about how amazing Bills fans are, only to come here and a bunch of fans schitting purple Twinkies over a preseason game that is leading into a season the rest of the world knows will be designed to compete, evaluate and grow for the long term. But meanwhile...get me someone to blame, stat! 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CDogg20 Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I notice a lot of you jumping on him for the thread but is he wrong? The offensive line is hot garbage. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I believe we did not show our hand at all. We were calling such a vanilla offense and defense all game, it is going to be so much different week 1. I doubt we have any hope at the playoffs but I think we have QB1 and QB2 figured out for quite awhile. Allen will be fine and I am thrilled with Peterman. A position we struggled to fill for 20 years is finally starting to look fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I had previously thought the floor for this team was around 6 wins. With that oline it could be half that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyone who didn't see the holes coming a mile away? You realize that this board has been talking non-stop about the poor oline, lackluster WR's, and inexperienced QB's for the entire off-season, right? And yet, not a single meaningful down of football has been played yet. Today sucked, but I'm not going to press the reset button on the season until I actually see them play real football.

Augie Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I read the title, then skipped to the end. Not a great sell there. Chill, give it time. I like the trend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I lost count of the sacks. 6. A D that made Andy Dalton look like a Hall of Famer. 7. If you bought the hype, or the tickets, Allen is not ready, at least not with the rest of this Offense. 8. Peterman HAS to be the man now, but will he have a (healthy) backup. 9. Stars of the game for the Bills--McCarron, McCoy, and Williams who did not have to play. pre·sea·son (prē′sē′zən) Sports n.

vincec Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 No need for concern. They'll just "flip the switch" after a crappy preseason and play lights out during the regular season, like they have so many times before. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our line seems to run block better than pass block and I think Peterman can get that ball out quick enough to mitigate some of our pass blocking deficiencies. We have all our picks next year and tons of cap space, I think the prognosis is very good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Final Word Posted August 26, 2018 Share Posted August 26, 2018 I am very upbeat. We have our starting quarterback and McCoy will be back to make the line better. We are in good shape 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
