machine gun kelly Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 They should have worked on this in the draft. We’re stuck with what we have now, and even if we pick someone up who is cut, we most likely won’t have anyone better. It was so painful to watch that line yesterday. If they don’t get better, we’re screwed. I know at times Allen held onto the ball a bit long, but he was running for his life. I actually felt bad for the rookie. peterman played better, but he also played against the two’s.

A team that has a rookie OLman who has come along faster than expected, is still not likely to want to trade off the vet he's replacing (and if the vet is so good, why is he being replaced?) until the rookie is proven in regular-season games. Ala Glenn ?

Even if they pick up a guy off the street, he's likely to not be much better and he won't know the system. McD better get what they have playing better or the goose is cooked. ......hmmmmm.....sounds familiar..............
bmur66 Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) Dawkins has potential. Miller sucks and looked like he was in the wrong league. The rest were pickups from the garbage heap and are backup caliber. Not looking good folks. Now the question is in what order do we want to get our QB’s killed? Edited August 27, 2018 by bmur66

Pre-season folks......how many years and teams have stunk it up in the pre-season only to play, much better in the regular season. Now I am not saying the Bills O-Line is filled with world beaters, not by a long shot - but the picture isn't as dire as it looked on Sunday.
MAJBobby Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) OG - Yes all better than Ducasse and Miller Crazy Richie Alex Boone Luke Joekel But at this point Teller has earned a spot in the starting OL as well. 10 minutes ago, Kwai San said: Your so fine your so fine you blow my mind!

I am just saying I am not losing my mind over some pre-season games, specially against the Bengals D-Line which had a plan - pressure the rook. Had they committed to Murph more - he had to have close to 60 yards yesterday, the D would have had to take that into account. Shady woulda run for 100+ against that D strategy. Welcome to the NFL Allen!

I think you start Peterman, since he gets rid of the ball fast. Give the OLine a chance by going that route. Now, that isnt going to win you many games since Peterman will be figured out quickly ala Trent Edwards, but it will give the OLine a chance to play together and see who fits for at least 2 or 3 games.

I'm not sure the past is very relevant hto that point, but I won't argue with the rest. Bills history of developing QBs is fact.....but it's history. So I agree...but then again I have a history of agreeing....lol.

Pre-season brother - pre-season......breathe man breathe. I am not saying this is a SB team - FAR FAR from it. I am saying it is pre-season. Not one regular season game is won in pre-season - nary a one.

Miller was bad routinely. Mills. See the pattern here. Yet Juan and company still here.

turftoe Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 (edited) I have a trade proposal. Trade Juan Castillo for a bag of footballs and lure Aaron Kromer back to actually coach the OL. Edited August 27, 2018 by turftoe 3 1
Royale with Cheese Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 I'd first like to see Teller replace Ducasse.
