Bills start two backup Tackles vs the Steelers pass rush, and TJ Watt was a ghost out there

At the very least, if Brown is seeing stars on the sideline again, you know you have some depth. I felt he was pushed back in versus Hou and he still looked....uh....shook.

Knowing what we know now, we would’ve won if our tackles would’ve left the game right after their injuries last week and didn’t try to stubbornly play through them 

Lots of rose colored glasses around here now. What I saw was that Anderson is a mauler in the run game but his pass pro was terrible. Van Demark's play is definitely of backup quality. I love how some seem to completely lose sight of reality.

Anderson is not an NFL RT and struggled, but you have to commend him for contributing to the win and finding a way. 

 

The quality of OL play around the league is so bad, Van Demark deserves a shot to start somewhere. He is at the very least serviceable. He looks a lot better on the left side than he does on the right imo. 

 

I am the anti-hope guy, but I think those two deserve some credit for contributing to the win and making it through in a tough spot.

Those two backups did great yesterday and the ENTIRE locker room knew it. You could see Josh congratulating them right at the end of the game. He knows.

It makes me wonder if they need to look at making a change this offseason.   Brown busts his butt, but isnt great at pass blocking

 

I get Dawkins is popular, does community stuff,but its been broken down how for I guess weeks now, he gives up on blocks early.   Several have seemed to wonder if he is just about the popularity vs. Being a great football player anymore.   Not good when those questions arise for the guy protecting your QB's blind side.

 

When you get called for phantom holds all season long you tend to let go at that point to try to not get called.

McDermott gave game balls to both of them in the locker room

Dawkins didn't have concussion symptoms until after the game so I don't know how you can blame coaching for that.  You're definitely right about Brown though.

We don't know that. According to Joe Marino, reporters said immediately after the Houston game that he seemed a bit off in the postgame interviews.

Let's not overreact to one game. The Steelers may actually suck.

Simply put, today was an Aaron Kromer game. 

I will pile on to this thought. I think Kromer is excellent! An unsung hero if you will. A strength of this Bills team is the OLine, and they are not a bunch of 1st round picks he is working with. 
I hope his voice influences Brady even more in the future game planning.

Umm...you forgot about the 8 sacks that Allen took just 10 days again in humid Houston?
