Our situation at tackle is the #1 reason we suck. Bigger than Trent being disappointing, bigger than the offensive scheme being largely leftovers from a fired man. The tackles are making the entire line look bad which is sad when you consider that our new interior is playing extremely well and our 2 rookie guards are clearly the long term keepers we've been clamoring for ever since TD came in and decided a new patchwork, revolving-door line would suffice each year.

 

Butler's injury was huge. Not bringing in a veteran at LT was huge.

 

Bell looks promising but he should be learning, not starting. He doesn't have the mental aspects of the game.

 

Granted, roscoe's fumble and mckelvin's fumble would have otherwise likely resulted in a 5-3 record to this point, but hey. A loss is a loss is a loss and there will be more in store in the coming Sundays.

 

Chin up: The Sabres are really, really good, and they will likely be the team to bring a championship to Buffalo, if there ever is a championship in Buffalo.

Yeah the 20 yr old rookie scored in his first NHL game that bodes well.

 

Lets talk NHL for awhile

Gotta disagree. The tackle situation is a train wreck between the stupid front office moves and the injuries. But, the interior of the line hasn't been all that. The rookies do have talent, but they are rookies and they've had their moments of pure !@#$ up. If they can stay in one piece, learn, and get stronger, maybe down the road the Bills will have some excellent OGs. Finally, Hangartner may be the smartest C in the NFL, but he has also played damn poorly at times. Nobody that appreciates good line play will be confusing him with one of the top pivots in the NFL.
