Clearly they do not know there is an offenSe

on the team. Fire them all. I nominate you to run the team and build the best offence in the league

That's amazing, I'd honestly forgotten all about Nate Orchard. It never even occurred to me at any point in the last few weeks to wonder why I haven't seen him on the field.

 

Did they only bring him in so he could watch the Packers game and actually see the correct way to sack Allen?

Honestly, I think the lack of looking for WRs / Offensive linemen have more to do with what they're trying to accomplish on the respective sides of the ball. Defensively, they know what they have and they have the same scheme and they're only looking to get through the year because DBs effectively can play at any point without needing too much consistency and they invested Draft picks, one very high at the cost of others, in the LBer group and will probably either pay good money for another (which I doubt) or Draft another one in the mid rounds. 

 

 

I don't expect Johnson to be active this week as Gaines should be back.  Look for Sirles to be activated and McDermott to sit again.  Never understood the fascination with this guy.

I think Taron Johnson's play, thus far as a 4th Round Rookie, shows quite well. I think all of the Rookies have shown growth over the first four games and T. Johnson is no different, IMHO. Sirles would be a big help and I'm good with that and I don't really see why the Bills wouldn't want 5 CBs so keeping Gaines AND T. Jons active makes more sense to me. Not to mention the new Dontae, which as I said, I think could be more for Safety help that CB, but only the Bills know their plans for the time being.

I think he was referring to D. Johnson not being active this week if Gaines is healthy. T. Johnson will definitely be out there unless his shoulder starts acting up.

It certainly looks like they are trying to get the defense right this year and simply evaluate offensive personnel.  

 

The defense, aside from Kyle and perhaps Lorax, could all be back next year.  Lots of young talent and talent in/entering their prime on this defense.  

 

On offense, we all know, and they certainly know, that most of these guys won’t be here next year.  Outside of Allen and Dawkins, I couldn’t guarantee you anyone else is here in 2019.

Yup.  The Johnsons are the new Williamses.    It would be tough to throw D. Johnson out there after only 3 practices.  The only way he plays is if Gaines and T Johnson have setbacks.

We're drafting 6 wrs + 1 RB and picking up 4 proven Olineman in FA. Let McB tinker around with his defense during this lost season. 

we have 10 draft picks.  I'm pretty sure we are drafting 10 WR's.  We don't need lineman.  Just line up all 10 WR's and Allen.  We are good to go

We're not playing 70's football.  That would involve running the football, which, even though we have two capable runners and a rookie QB, we refuse to do, even though when we do, it's actually positive.

I take it today’s exchange rate for an “s” is a “c”.

 

You realize you’re essentially complaining about what they found in the dumpster, right? They’re not going to fix their offenSe with a broken lawn chair, an umbrella with a jammed up frame, and a touque with a small hole in it. They’re just churning the bottom of their roster and hoping to hit on low risk, higher ceiling injury recoveries or guys who were on the bubble of someone else’s cuts.

The signing is all about the injury to Micah Hyde. They need secondary depth. He is week to week, not day to day.

But no workouts for any wide receivers?

The problem is that our cupboard is fully stocked with mediocre wide receivers.  We have a bunch of 3, 4, 5 receivers...but no 1 or 2.  With one possible exception there just aren't any 1 or 2 wide receivers walking the streets this time of year.  The only purpose signing someone right now would be to make some people ditch their Zay Jones jerseys....but no appreciable difference in talent.

I'll be glad to ditch my Andre Holmes jersey

But we do though...a bunch of ours are hurt and we barely had enough to finish the GB game.

This made me think, has any team ever have tight ends check in on the offensive line(guard, or tackle) to set up screen passes. Tight ends generally move a bit better than guards and tackles and on a screen pass you want the rush to almost get to the qb.
