sharper802 Posted October 25, 2009 Share Posted October 25, 2009 Not too bad today. Peppers got close a few times but all in all not too bad. The safety was horrible and the run game was inconsistent, but for the most part Fitzy had time to miss open WR's. If they could just stay healthy for a little while....

I'm not seeing much improvement from week to week myself and we still have the worse O-line in the league in my opinion. 9 turnovers won the last two football games before anyone starts kidding themselves. Jairus the bird man Byrd leads the way as the ball hawk explodes onto the NFL with a whopping 5 interceptions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills_red Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 They made no holes in the running game, had below avg. protection. IDK, imo they've done better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The O-line wasn't good today. And while they gave up just 2 sacks (1 was by Peppers...for 0 yards), they gave up the safety, allowed a lot of hurries, and provided no holes to run through. They need to seriously get better.

Its sad when you know a safety's coming because the O-line is getting blown off the line of scrimmage like a grenade going off, and Fitz changing plays sure didn't help Fitz has now won has last 5 ball games in a row so I've got to give the guy some credit , he found a way to win.

H2o Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Meridith did well against a seasoned veteran in Peppers, IMO. Fitz throwing some awful passes and TO with his drops are very troubling. Overall, I'd say our OL held up well against that front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
evilbuffalobob Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Helps having a Qb with balls enough to let it go. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Big Cat Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Fitz's timing was way off today. He did the OLine no favors, sometimes. Other times, he did. Fitzpatrick is FAR less sackable than Trent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnC Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I thought the OL was horrible, especially on running plays. There were no holes. As soon as the runner got the ball he seemed to be swallowed up by the defense. The pass protection was not very impressive either. There are some obvious differences between Fitzpatrick and Edwards. Fitzpatrick has a stronger arm, not necessarily more accurate, and he doesn't play as scared as TE. TE gets very skittish when the play is collapsing. I didn't sense any panic from Fitzpatrick, even when he was being swarmed by the defense. While TE hesitates when considering throwing down the field, Fitz just goes ahead and wings it. I definitely prefer Fitz's more aggressive mindset in throwing the ball downfield. A win is a win. I'll take it. There are a number of good teams in the league. There are also a number of mediocre teams in the league. The Bills are a mediocre team. Delhomme was horrible. The Panthers need a more capable qb. You don't win in this league unless you have quality quarterback play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StupidNation Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 O-line was pathetic. We got lucky we won because we lost at the point of attack on both lines. If our safeties and secondary wasn't so good we would be thrashed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 I'd say the Oline looked pretty bad today; absolutely no runnig lanes, no passing lanes. Pretty bad. IMO, Fitz makes them look better because he moves just enough and throws the ball a lot quicker than Trent. So, he's taking less sacks and looking less hurried. But, several of his bad throws were due to someone being right in his face not allowing him to follow through with the pass. So, I'd say... no, the line was not very good at all today.

MRW Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 The line was terrible today. There was no running game and Fitzpatrick was harassed all day. I'm hoping they will get better, but I think they were worse this week than last. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsfan89 Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 Yeah from what I saw the O-line did a poor job of pass protection and didn't run block well at all this was clearly a growing pains game but the one good thing was we got a win and survived a bad performance from a young line.

THat was the worst performance I've ever seen! The run blocking was terrible, the pass protection was terrible. There were just guys running right past Bell. Are you a troll?

They took a step or two back today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erik Posted October 26, 2009 Share Posted October 26, 2009 If the Bills luck into another win against Houston and go into the bye at .500 how does the front office justify not bringing in a veteran or two to play OL?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
