Either way there is still a lot more to observe to really make any conclusions at this point, but hopefully the offense takes the next step.

BidsJr Posted July 27, 2019 Author Share Posted July 27, 2019 Sorry I did not make the sarcasm obvious enough... Perhaps the O for the first time in a very long time is legit. I am shocked at how well it sounds like they are playing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am shocked at how well it sounds like they are playing. This is what we all are hoping for. Would be great! Hopefully it will continue. They will probably have a bad day here and there as most do, but as long as they can stay consistent for the most part. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BEAST MODE BABY! Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 Day 3 of training camp, and the OP finds a way to turn a good effort by the O into concerns for the D. The defense returns 10 starters. The 11th will be Ed Oliver. Are you like this in person? Oi vey.... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or do they put pads on today? Either way there is still a lot more to observe to really make any conclusions at this point, but hopefully the offense takes the next step. There are a couple of things. 1st as you say: today was the first day with pads, and that makes a difference. 2nd: Where the "D ahead of the O" thing holds true, it's because the O tends to start out out much more vanilla and the D just has to paw the ground and GO! This year, with experienced OL in 4/5 positions, apparently a higher-voltage OL coach, two experienced WR and Allen's second year in the system, I feel like the O is hitting the ground running. Daboll is already switching things up, moving guys around, and the D is having to diagnose instead of just get after it. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To simplify it for you all he's saying is that it's been very long time since positive things were being said about the offense this early in TC. It's not that the D is bad but the offense is actually showing signs of life!! Relax there buddy, maybe a little less beast mode might be worth trying. Our D is being challenged this year (albeit in the first few days of TC). How long has it been since that happened?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TFBillsfan Posted July 27, 2019 Share Posted July 27, 2019 As a long time Bills fan (1984), this TC does seems much different than ones from the past 16 years. It’s refreshing to hear positive reports coming out. I hope they put it all together and come out of the gates kickin A$$! The opener on the road against the Jets will set the stage early. Ideally beat the Jets, Giants and Bengals sets up an early season showdown at home against the Pats! Glass half full this could be a statement game that lets Brady and gang know that the Bills and Bills Mafia got it going on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
