Dumb penalties, guys blowing by him. He could be a victim of the lack of talent around him, but he certainly hasn't shown to be anything more than serviceable IMO right now. I will say this about Dawkins though, I dont know how plausible it will be to find 5 new starters on the OL next offseason (although we got plenty of cap room and draft picks to potentially do it), so if I had to pick one guy that I think could still be starting within a new group of players for us next year, it would be Dawkins. He is our best OL player right now, but thats also not saying a whole lot IMO. As I stated before, I can't critique offensive line. Never played the position or watched film on it. I was going off that Dawkins played well enough last year to make Glenn expendable. I don't know if replacing all 4 is possible in one offseason. We can replace all 3 interior, hopefully Teller steps up after this year and then replace Groy/Miller. Do you have any confidence that Connor McDermott could develop into a serviceable RT? They seem to like him with keeping him around for year 2.

So Peterman is on pace to match EJ's interception number in 1/5 the number of attempts. I would give him two more games just to allow that record to be set. 51 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: Are we all finally in agreement that he’s the worst QB we’ve ever started? Nope. You need to get sign off from the Bull brothers and possibly suorangefan4. I don't think we've given Nate enough starts yet to make that proclamation =) 1

I had had to send @BurpleBull $56.30 because of Peterman starting. I should be refunded that plus interest!! Ha ha The other bull brother doubled down last night. He really might be in love with Peterman or at least related to him. Edited September 10, 2018 by Kirby Jackson

Namely, he's expendable - getting him killed behind this line protects Allen. any qb for the bills will need to learn this word---AFLAC

They seem to like him with keeping him around for year 2. In all honesty, my confidence is really low on the whole roster of OL right now. Last year I felt the OL was not good at all, especially at pass protection. I kept saying that TT's legs masked the lines deficiencies big time. Not just in his ability to escape, but also in how the D planned against the Bills offense which had to account for defending TT as a runner on both designed runs and when he escapes. However, when ever a team decided to bring the house all game they got to the QB with unbelievable ease. Both TT and Peterman. The line got abused, even with Glenn, Wood, and Incognito out there when teams had the gusto to bring the heat consistently instead of trying to guard against TT's ability to run. So even though Dawkins appeared to be a starter last year, I don't really know if he is a quality starter yet. But like I said, I do think he is the best OL on the team right now, which is a scary thing to say.

Could a really good Offensive Line coach work with the talent we have now and make them at least below average instead of atrocious like it is now? 11 minutes ago, Kirby Jackson said: I had had to send @BurpleBull $56.30 because of Peterman starting.

I dont know if its Castillo or the talent level. While I firmly believe coaching is very important, its hard to look at this s**t show and think a better OL coach would turn it around. I liked guys like Dawkins and Miller, but to me they have been a let down, especially Miller. But maybe its coaching, but honestly most of our line is made up of guys who were cut by other teams or not retained by teams when they were FA's. Tells me they were not valuable to others either. And yes... BullBuchanan, BurpleBull, and I believe someone also said SaviourPeterman are certain still defending NP. Its hysterical. Edited September 10, 2018 by Alphadawg7

IMO...we have to address this line with our $80mm that we have in cap. Don't need a Derrick Dockery signing but at least 2 new starting vets...solid starting vets. I know we need playmakers at WR but to me it starts up front first. Do you have any idea what the crop of WR and OL look like next year in FA and the draft?

Unfortunately, I don't know much about next years WR and OL crops at this point, I have been so busy lately I just haven't had time to dive into college lately. But will start watching here soon as my schedule eases up a little. 1

That’s sad. 1 hour ago, BuffaloHokie13 said: 30/70 for 290 Yards (4.14 YPA) 2 TDs and 8 INTs in roughly 2 games worth of action. Translates to a 25.0 Passer Rating and a negative ANY/A. So, a net total of 30/70, 131 yrds, 2 TD’s, 8 picks in 2 games. What do these #’s translate to the Passer Rating? and what is ‘negative ANY/A?’

What do these #’s translate to the Passer Rating? and what is ‘negative ANY/A?’ ANY/A is, in my opinion, a pretty good indicator of a QB's performance. Here is every QB who has attempted at least 65 passes from 1998-2018 sorted by descending ANY/A Here is the same list, sorted ascending... There are 241 qualifying QBs. He is the only one with a negative score. 1

Wsam4031 Posted September 10, 2018 Posted September 10, 2018 Guys lets not overreact its only 1 game Peterman looked so good in preseason and he looks like a legit starter in this league....................... HAHAHAHAHA sorry I cant write this crap anymore. They need to bring in a Vet and cut their losses on him now. Matt Moore comes to mind for me. Been around knows the league and can help along Allen

A lot of teams will resign their own. Plus there is always other teams looking for OL in FA. The only advantage having a lot of FA money (which a bunch of teams have more or almost as much as the Bills) is to overpay. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/free-agents/ufa/offensive-line/

It's not great but it's still better than we have. Plus you'd expect a few vets to be cap causalities as well. Whatever it is, either through FA or the draft....we need to have better talent up front. Just something above suck would be nice.

Well at least the Bills have Ducasse signed for next year. Sorry! I'm sure they will pursue as many decent upgrades as possible. The thing is who they end up with is in question. Could always trade for an OL, but the Bills don't have a lot of ammo there. Signed Bills OL going into FA as of now is: Bodine Dawkins Ducasse Teller McDermott Not much of a core.
