Back2Buff Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 Addition by subtraction. Not sure why this staff is obsessed with him. Ike has been the better player when he got the opportunity. He has been one of the worst players on the entire team this year. Wonder if we have seen the last of him ever starting with the Bills. He is a goner after this year. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FilthyBeast Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I have nothing against Feliciano as a person, but it never made sense to resign him in the first place and especially deciding to lose 20+ pounds without even consulting the team about it. Biggest issue though is the longer he stays on this team and sees starting snaps he's going to get Allen seriously hurt and when that happens any chance this team has/had to win a SB goes up in flames. It's simply time for Beane to understand not every move he's made he has been a good one (In fact he's been pretty terrible on oline with Ford and also trading away Teller) and give up whatever draft pick is needed (sans a 1st rounder) to address this teams biggest hole right now to have a real shot at winning it all. 6 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanForever19 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 (edited) If they can all stay healthy, I think the best combination this season is Dawkins-Boettger-Morse-Williams-Brown anyways. Think it's time to see what Jamil Douglas can offer. Can't imagine he'd be a downgrade from what Feliciano and Ford have given us this year.

(Although that's where Felciano has also played in the past). But at this point something has to give considering this oline has seemingly regressed further coming out of the bye week.

VW82 Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I liked Mongo last year but after the way the playoffs played out it never made sense to me why we chose to bring our line back. I liked what we did in the draft but it's not like that was our only avenue to improve. No point in turning Josh into Russell Wilson who's now perpertually banged up after years of not prioritizing their oline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So, if Bates really is our 3rd (we're assuming the 2 starts are interchangeable & they're the best guards) best option, keeping him on the bnech for the scenario of Bates getting hurt THEN Morse gets hurt? Geez, by that logic, shouldn't we keep Allen safe, cuz if he gets hurt, then Trubisky gets hurt that leaves us w/ only Davis Webb? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 It takes more than a guy with a cool nickname who shows some enthusiasm on the field during the game, in order to be a competent starting guard in the NFL. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blacklabel Posted November 1, 2021 Share Posted November 1, 2021 I know 76 brings a lot of fire and hype but yeah, he’s had some real rough stretches this season. Unfortunately, I don’t think Ike has done all that much better. He got walked into the backfield a couple times yesterday. I’ve seen some others mention Ryan Bates, and I’ve also wondered why they haven’t bothered giving him a go at guard. I understand they view him as their backup center and I wonder if they’re getting him prepared to eventually take over for Morse. And not that I think Morse has been bad, but I’m also not sure he’s been good enough to justify his salary right now. They must think Bates has a shot to become a long term starter for them at some point. They traded for him and he’s made the roster outright these last few seasons. I also wonder how Dawkins is doing. He’s probably not in the best shape after his COVID ordeal, takes a while to truly recover from that, especially for athletes. I like Williams at RG and Brown at RT, even though he’ll surely take his lumps as the season goes on. I doubt they go trading for a guard, or really anyone… Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are going to get beat against elite Dlinemen (Chris Jones, Hayward, and yesterday Raekwon Davis); they will be meh enough against everyone else. The problem is that all the playoff teams seem to have those Beastly interior d-linemen. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
