Journeymen Oline players aren't fixing anything we need to invest in the line. To be fair to the FO, I’m not sure they expected to have to replace RI or Wood. They did draft Teller, and I expect him to be a starter at LG sooner than later.

No team in there right mind should risk their future franchise QB behind that mess we have put together as an offensive line 2-3 of those players wouldn't even be in the NFL had it not been for the Bills for some reason still sticking with them. Beane has failed to address the Oline for the 2nd offseason in a row and its showing in preseason (and training camp). Look, we aren't going to win many games this season, lets stop being delusional. This is a rebuild year. It isn't worth risking the future of your team just to win a few games. Let Peterman start and go from there. Tell this to two time Super Bowl Champ Eli Manning
Gugny Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Ben Roethlisberger hasn't had an o-line for 14 years. 1

It's not as if top caliber OL are just waiting to be snatched up with an overabundance in the league and they were dealt an unexpected blow with the retirement of Richie Incognito on top of Wood leaving due to career ending injury. It is what it is, but there's no reason to baby Allen if he's ready. Edited August 18, 2018 by 26CornerBlitz
jahnyc Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 I have a feeling that part of the FO's thinking has been that next year they will have the cap space to improve the o-line with free agent additions, so if McCarron or Peterman can play adequately, having Allen sit for the year would make sense for multiple reasons. Because Allen has been better than expected (at least so far) combined with the injury to McCarron, they may not have this luxury. The o-line is worrisome. I doubt there are many quick fixes here, but Groy should be starting and maybe Teller can take one of the guard spots at some point.

Some people just don't want to see Allen get injured like McCarron did. Injuries can happen at any point regardless of who is blocking for you. Start the guy that gives us the best chance to win and that’s it. Should we not play shady either? Can’t risk him getting injured either behind this line.

As to the OP, no one is ignoring the OL NOW, not after a game like last night. Its the off season when its ignored. And that's when it should be a priority.
HappyDays Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 I just said this in another thread, but the 2nd team OL was just as bad as the 1st team OL last night. It only looks better because Allen knows how to escape pressure. The TD to Streater is a perfect example. No other QB on the team (and only a few QBs in the NFL) can score that TD.

benderbender Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 Can we send our Oline to train with Incognito at the funny farm?

Boca BIlls Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 This logic does not make sense. Let's just forfeit every game until we get better lineman I heard Brady wants to sit also since they just lost their rookie.
