Looks like we have some building blocks on offense!

[JerseyBills]

Everybody and their mother knows the O will likely go through an overhaul this off-season, with nearly 90 mil to play with and a fantastic defense that doesn't need much  , they can focus on OL , WR/TE and backup QB. 

 

Allen , Shady , Zay and Dawkins looked like the only locks to be starting next year. If Foster can be consistent , looks like we got our deep threat and at the very Least , a depth WR we can rely on for the future. He missed a cpl bombs by Allen earlier in the year, so the staff knew he had the potential. Looks like he's been working hard at his game and looked much improved today. Wonderful sign 

 

I noticed Zays improvement in September. He wasn't getting many touches, but I instantly noticed improved route running ability, awareness and his case of the yips seems to have passed. He has legit #2 WR written all over him and if he can continue to improve can be a real asset going forward . So it'd be great to have two young WR we feel confident in going forward and gives us  more flexibility in FA and the draft. Great sign for both today , adding a glimmer of hope to what has been a disasterous group. Zays route running is really becoming a strength of his and has been impressive to watch all year.

 

Then we got Teller , who I assume will start the rest of the year. He looked great to me today. The whole OL played fantastic as a whole but alot of the big runs looked like they came on his side , as he looked to be mauling defenders . I'm not going to proclaim anything after one start, but Teller looked super impressive and it'd be awesome if he continues to play at a high level, as that'd shore up the left side of the line for a couple years minimum and take a need off the board. He looks like he has very high potential , he's massive and agile and plays fierce, I think him and Dawkins will be on that left side for a long time.

 

It was just refreshing and encouraging to see 2 rookies play at a very high level in their longest action of the year, on the road, against a pretty good defense. If these 3 can consistently play like this is (I personally think Zay has proven all year he could, just never got touches), it just gives us much more flexibility in a big time off season for the Bills.

  Encouraging but we will have to see if they hold up for the balance of the season.

These posts happened after Minnesota too.. Let’s see some consistency first 

[stuvian]

If it all comes together in successive weeks I'll believe 

[klos63]

It was against a Jets team that is worse than us. Nice to win big, but hold on.

So if they don’t drop at least 30 on the bye next week you’re saying you’re off this train?

Not really.  Bills and Jets are the same team.  Jets D is normally pretty good.  offense is bad.

Teller has some magic to him?

Seriously, pancakes over pancakes.Shady is thankful more than we are that Ducasse is outta there. He's like a mentally stable Incognito. ?playing very well

Couldn’t agree more. He jumped out in the pre-season to me and every week he was inactive I’d just get more angry. Been banging that drum all season. Teller is a beast

[DCBongo]

Ageed, the offense isn't the dumpster fire we thought it was.  Barkley isn't the second coming of Frank Reich, but with play like that I will not find seeing him in a Bills uniform for the foreseeable future.  A competent QB showed there is some talent in the offense.  We need to get JA back to see if we have our quarterback.

[CDogg20]

Agree with everything you said. Especially with Zay. I think he’s been getting open consistently. Also Teller is a man among boys, that dude leveled people all day 

[NoHuddleKelly12]

It’s definitely a comforting thought that not everyone in the supporting cast on O are a bunch of fruit stand proprietors dressed up as NFL starters—the less we have to turnover or plug through the draft/FA’s, the more we can focus on signing for depth, which is critical to future sustained success IMHO.

And also the ultimate weapons, Dawkins and Williams.

[Bangarang]

We’ll see. One good day doesn’t erase several weeks of trash production

[17islongenough]

I feel like they have some decent back end wideouts. Jones, Ray Ray, Foster and McKenzie. They still need that number 1.  Hopefully they can draft a guy

[billsfan_34]

Todays teams in the NFL lives and dies by the QB position. Today we got solid play out of Barkley. Thats really the jist of it all. Look at New England- they dont have alot of talent but Brady gives the squeeky wheel the grease. Lets hope Allen develops and Barkley stays solid. It could end up being a nice 1-2 punch.

[Bing Bong]

We have a TON to fill! We played cupcakes. You said Zay, Shady, Dawkins, and Allen. Zay's a #2, Foster's a rotational player that's at least shown starting potential (against a cupcake in 1 game) we still need a solid young RB soon to replace Shady (although I like Murphy), Dawkins is decent, Allen is the wildcard that's less a building block and more a guy needing building blocks to show he can play.

 

Like we need a bonafide #1 WR, another WR for depth. Probably another WR lol. A Bunch of O Line.. we need a lot dude. Nothing changed this one game other than Foster having a good game. These were always our building blocks.

Zay Jones has been my favorite part of the last few weeks. Really turning it around!

First off, The Jets invested heavily in their secondary this off-season and added some big names to a unit with some young studs. Going into yesterday their passing defense was 10th in ints. 13th in yards and 13th in passing TD. Above average. Their defense on a whole was 15th in points and 13th in yards. Slightly above average. And they were HOME.

So your cupcake comments are ridiculous. Did you watch Shady with an actual passing game? He looks like he might have gained a step! That spin was just amazing. 

Why so negative? There is 6 more games left . These guys are young , some need more time than others. Just pointing out these young guys played very well against an above average D, on the ROAD.

You are right on all counts.  The Bills offense performed well today against a competent defense.  It was fun to watch.

 

But the worries are...

 

*  What's up with the OL?  They played well today.   Was it Teller?  The scheme & play-calling?  Or just an anomalous good game?

 

*  Who's the QB?  Barkley played well today but his career stats are unimpressive so we're still wondering if Josh Allen can be a franchise QB or not.  The jury's still out.

 

*  Who's the RB?  Shady played well today but he's not getting any younger.  

 

*  Who's going to catch the ball?  KB continues to disappoint and Zay - while improving - still needs to prove he deserves to be a NFL starter.

 

There are enough questions that we need Beane to draft well and spend all that cap money wisely on some offensive help.

How did Jeremiah Sirles do?  I saw he was in the game as well.

definitely nice to see some development as it would have been hard to replace most of the offense. 

 

I still want OT Jonah Williams in the first and then a new Guard and Center  where ever Beane can acquire them.

 

Not worried about RB , having a good line takes care of this.

 

Definitely NEED a stud TE

 

and two WRs.
