The offensive line is really bad: https://twitter.com/YardsPerPass/status/1042047106666713088 Question: How do you post links to twitter again?

Given the discussion just two games in, it is going to be very interesting to see how things play out between now and December and what the discussion is like then.

I love your optimism.

We will see how good his play calling is against the Vikings when the game is still on the line in the first half . . . .

I doubt that as well. It would be unfair to fire a guy in less than two years or only after two years. Lack of continuity already has hurt this team. The only way I could see the Pegulas firing McCoach is if we continue to have historic embarrassing losses (or something like that). Barring something like that, I just don't see it. We already have a bit of a reputation for firing coaches quickly (e.g., Rex, Bylsma).

Interesting. This is Louisville Cardinal v. Louisville Cardinal . . . .

I sincerely doubt that the owners expected what so far has been an embarrassment to the franchise. Just a hunch. As for the rest of us that were realists before the season and saw that last year was a mirage, it seemed like there were many more here that disagreed and even mods that shut down threads questioning the offensive line. We shall see.

Even the top five are not rated that highly. Do you have the grades for each of the offensive linemen?

On what do you base that the owners knew that this was going to be a cluster you know what of a season?

Sure, let's ignore it completely.

Where there is fire, there is fire. I suspect we are going to hear some more stories as time goes on.

I am good. I always have been good.

Me too.

Believe what you want. I can assure you that you are wrong.

This is s crock. You know it. I know it.

That is absolutely not true.

This is well thought out. How many guys will McBeane have to overpay (read bad contracts) to attract talented players to a team that looks to be one of the worst in the league?

I am sorry that we disagree, but I will take Cordy Glenn over any of our offensive linemen. He also is a guy who came back to play in the NFL after having his kidney removed. If the whole McBeane "culture"/"DNA" thing were more than just lip service to justify their moves, one would think that Cordy Glenn would have been part of McBeane's "DNA."

Cordy Glenn and the Bengals gave up 0 sacks to the Ravens. The Buffalo Bills without Cordy Glenn gave up 6 sacks to the Ravens. Bonus: I never saw Cordy Glenn manhandled like I saw Dion manhandled by Myles Garrett.

Well said. The other issue that is going to highlight the stupidity of their approach is that the Bills likely will have no choice but to over pay if they want to sign really talented free agents this coming off season given that we are likely to be one of the worst teams in the NFL. In the end, McBeane: 1) got rid of what they thought were "bad contracts" (of some good players); 2) got rid of some other good young talent on rookie contracts; 3) have given out bad contracts to others this year; and 4) most likely will have to over pay this coming off season to attract significant talent. In the meantime, we are likely going to have an historically bad season. Process that.

This is right on the money.

I agree with this. It makes sense.

I am not sure whether to attribute the play of the D in the second half to performing better or to the Chargers already having the game in hand . . . . We will see how well the D plays against the Vikings at the beginning of the game when it is still close.

Firing the priest that Rex hired was gratuitous and seemingly paranoid. As for why we suck now, there are other reasons for that . . . but karma is a b**tch. Firing a priest under these circumstances is never a good look. The whole thing looks to be stop gaps while we twist in the wind and watch this crap and they figure out what they are doing while invoking the "process.". If you really believe that, I recommend going to Vegas. Personally, I would take the under right now.

Were Vontae and Star part of the youth movement?
