Shaw and Sestak were both great players. But they were like apples and oranges; Shaw was a guard and Sestek was a defensive lineman. Both retired much too early because of injuries.
There's nothing mature about this very offensive line. That's why with a very few exceptions, they should mostly be gone by next season.
Watch Mills on passing downs. He's still a well oiled turnstile. When he goes, that's a sign the OL is finally progressing.
Post mortems, by definition, follow a death or event. Since the Bills haven't left us and the season is not over, why are we having this discussion now? By the way, what's an "important" player?
Shaw's number deserves to be retired. He was a critical player on the early teams and a major fan favorite. We could use a few of him now on the OL: tough, consistent, reliable.
It's always been said that there are loads of penalties overlooked throughout the league. Lately, the refs are determined to call near every one of them. Ridiculous.
Why would anyone want to go to Los Wages for this? All you'll do is lose money and drink too much to forget about it. You can watch the Bills gamble on TV.
Once the refs learn you're penalty prone, you're in deep with them. You have to be ultra cautious, which can hurt you in many ways. Rex started the train rolling and Mc (and his assistants) doesn't seem to know how to brake it.
