Not a good situation regardless of who will being behind center. Just gotta run the ball and get yourself ahead of the sticks. Millers penalties and general o-line mistakes put us in 3rd and longs all half. You can't get the ball out super quick on 3rd and long and expect to get first downs. 1

26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2018 Author Posted August 27, 2018 After a horrendous performance, where does the Bills' offensive line go from here? ORCHARD PARK — Buffalo Bills coach Sean McDermott had exactly zero answers for why the first-string offense subjected us to such a horror show Sunday afternoon in his team's 26-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals. In five of the first seven questions lobbed during his postgame press conference, McDermott’s answer included the old coaching cliché that he needed to “look at the tape.” A couple times he mixed it up and referred to “the tape” as “the film.” Hopefully, McDermott’s two young children were not in the vicinity of the video screen because I can only imagine the language that had to be spewing from the coach’s mouth as he watched the film, or the tape, or whatever he wants to call it. The Bills’ starting offense was flat out horrible. McDermott would never say that publicly, but he surely knows it. The furthest he would go was to admit, “Yeah, it was disappointing. We have a lot to learn from and a lot of work to do, that’s for sure.”
Mark Vader Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 1 hour ago, 26CornerBlitz said: There were a couple of instances where Allen could have gotten the Ball out sooner, but for the most part he had absolutely no chance. It's the 2nd week in a row that the starting OL has been significantly outplayed by an opposing #1 DL and that's being kind. Yes, there were a couple of times where Allen held onto the ball too long. Yet for the most part the O-Line was getting destroyed. I don't care how good the Bengals D-Line is, and they are good, but to see the Bills O-line get blown up constantly like that is inexcusable and unacceptable. Changes MUST be made.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2018 Author Posted August 27, 2018 AFC preseason grades: Lamar Jackson shines, Josh Allen fizzles Buffalo Bills: Josh Allen, QB. The rookie looked like an inexperienced player in the team's dress rehearsal against the Bengals. Allen was indecisive pulling the trigger and repeatedly missed the mark when he pushed the ball down the field. The No. 7 overall pick, who completed 6 of 12 passes for just 34 yards, took five sacks, and the offense failed to score a single point under his direction. With Allen openly suggesting that the speed of the game was "eye-opening," the Bills might want to take their time before thrusting No. 17 onto the field. Grade: D
26CornerBlitz Posted August 27, 2018 Author Posted August 27, 2018 Bills vs. Bengals stock up/stock down: Vontae Davis stumbles, Jason Croom soars The Buffalo Bills continued their slate of preseason matchup this past Sunday against the Cincinnati Bengals. It was an abysmal showing for both starting units but the backup and third-stringers led a small rally. Buffalo ultimately lost 26-13. Below are the players that stood out, for better or worse.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 From Matthew Fairburn - The Athletic 'That kid has a lot of learning to do': Bengals hand Josh... ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. — What happened to Josh Allen against the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday afternoon was inevitable. Whether it was today, Week 1 or in mid-November, Allen was going to experience a game like this. Every quarterback does. After two preseason performances that captured the imaginations of Bills fans, Sean McDermott announced the rookie as the starter for the third preseason game. Expectations ran wild as Allen got his best chance to win the starting job for the regular-season opener. This would be the day Allen, in his first action against a first-string defense, would prove himself worthy of the starting gig. This would be the day fans remembered as the beginning of Allen’s era as Buffalo’s quarterback. This would be a day all about Allen. Then the game started, and it was just a bad day. There were no incredible feats of arm strength to bring fans to their feet. No, Allen’s first chance to start an NFL game turned ugly in a hurry. His first pass was dropped by Charles Clay. Two plays later, Allen was sacked. It served as a preview for how the first half would unfold.
26CornerBlitz Posted August 28, 2018 Author Posted August 28, 2018 Josh Allen's first start leads to second highest-rated preseason game since 2000 As predicted, the Buffalo Bills’ 26-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals on Fox affiliate WUTV was the highest-rated 2018 preseason game and the highest-rated TV event of the summer. The game, which featured rookie quarterback Josh Allen’s first start, had a preliminary rating of 25.7, almost two points higher than the Bills win over Cleveland carried on WKBW-TV (Channel 7) in prime time more than a week earlier. It was the second-highest rated preseason game since meters came to Buffalo in 2000. According to WIVB-TV researcher Bob Gallivan, the only Bills preseason game with a higher rating since then was the New York Giants' 17-13 win over the Bills in the Hall of Fame game carried by NBC on Aug. 3, 2014. That game had a 26.4 rating. The rating Sunday hit a high of 27.9 from 6:15 p.m. through 6:30 p.m. when Nathan Peterman was at quarterback. As far as the Fox broadcast itself, play-by-play man Kevin Burkhardt started off by suggesting bizarrely “when you’re in Buffalo, you are going to have a little barbecue.” Say what? Maybe he meant barbecue wings?
