Jluckey Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 I am so sick of seeing our QB's get pressured so easily. And when we are on D we can't even get a sniff on their QB!!!! It is so painful to watch. Very depressing. Dicky J was on the hot seat last yr and he knew he had to win and with his 1st pick he selected Maybin. He actually thought Maybin was his best choice at that slot to help him win now!!! That just goes to show you that Jauron has no clue!!!! When oh when will it be exciting and fun to watch this team????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When oh when will it be exciting and fun to watch this team????? The Bills had no pass rush when Schoebel went down with his Lis franc foot injury and had no guarantee he would ever play again. DE was a major need as was the O-line. The Bills drafted Wood also in the 1st round and traded up in the 2nd to draft Levitre to shore up the O-line. As fate would have it Schoebel did come back and played well. And Maybin sucked. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
timba Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 We were missing 3 starters last week.... Two of the three people who replaced them actually started multiple games for us last year. No excuse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest dog14787 Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 We were missing 3 starters last week.... and we averaged over 8 yards per carry on the ground ( opponent 3.4 ) Washington ran the ball 41 times to our 18 and we still out rushed them, an actual (big) positive from the first game, hmmm, what do you know...

Doc Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Two of the three people who replaced them actually started multiple games for us last year. No excuse. Meredith played RT last year, although he wasn't a major problem the other night, as he kept Orakpo off the stat sheet (except for an assisted tackle), and Chambers, while he started last year (due to injury), was horrible last year and the other night. Howard is an UDFA rookie. So yes, there are excuses. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was the pass blocking that disturbed me. If it becomes a one dimensional offense other teams will just start stacking the box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Chambers is truly so awful he shouldn't be playing. Howard I have no critique of and wasn't really focusing on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proper play calling sets up one play to the next and even in within a very basic game plan Chan Gailey still showed why he's the man. We have a long way to go, but I truly believe Chan Gailey has the Buffalo Bills pointed in the right direction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched him specifically and he was the cause of a lot of pressure. If Chambers is truly so awful he shouldn't be playing. Howard I have no critique of and wasn't really focusing on. Chambers shouldn't be playing, but with Bell and Green out, he had to be pressed into duty. Just because he started last year shows how bad the O-line situation was. Howard shows promise, but isn't ready. And there was some pressure from the left side but it was hardly "consistent." he couldn't have kept Orakpo off the stat sheet. He's a stud HOF'er don't you know I know what you're trying to get at, but he's a good pass-rusher. If Meredith was "getting beat consistently," Trent would have been sacked at least once, or even hurried. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, I don't believe we were sacked in the game. rushed yes, but at least the QB didn't become a basketball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tennesseeboy Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 We were missing 3 starters last week.... From the looks of it we'll be missing three starters all freaking season. Unless we actually go out and get three legitimate starters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you get sacked or hurried when you throw the ball 5 yards downfield? I don't know what you were watching but from my point of view the line couldn't give him enough time to even look downfield. We can debate about the oline, QB, pass rush all we want but the truth is it all needs major improvements in personnel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alright, maybe consistent wasn't the right word but it was more often than it should. I won't excuse the poor play but I do accept your reasoning.

Gugny Posted August 17, 2010 Share Posted August 17, 2010 Two of the three people who replaced them actually started multiple games for us last year. No excuse. I'm sorry, but I can't see how this makes sense. You think that having two guys who played on last year's horrible O-line should have done a respectable job filling in last weekend? I'm not trying to be a jerk; I just don't understand the logic. Having 3 O-line starters out is an excuse for any team's offense to under-perform. Any team.

Howard is an UDFA rookie. So yes, there are excuses. Have to say it Doc. You are the king of making excuses for this franchise/team. It's still a team with 10 season minus a playoff appearance and it appears that this streak will continue. Even when healthy the team has zero depth at all 3 OL positions. Their principal backups at G are Kyle Calloway and Kirk Chambers. The swing OT is Meredith, providing Bell is the starter and vice versa if he doesn't. I would wager those three players would be on the fringe of even making most other teams. Taking flyers on late round picks, UDFA's and other teams PS rejects is not how to build an OL. And at the money position of OT, it rarely works. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not sure if you and I were watching the same game. I watched and rewatched the first 2-3 offensive series for the Bills focusing on LT and RG. I thought Meredith did just fine and was actually dominant on a couple of plays. In fact it was one of the few things that encouraged me about the game.
