transplantbillsfan Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 (edited) Let the experiment continue Not the vet with experience in Duccasse getting another shot. It's the younger, less experienced guy. And I bet Sirles plays. Why not? The beauty here is that so many outside "experts" might perceive this as "tanking" or at least, "aw hell, we aren't going anywhere, anyway, let's just play around a bit." I think it's more the way a good cook in a family experiments with a family. Play around with the recipe, but when the family REALLY likes something specific, they note that and stick with at least that, while maybe continuing to tweak other ingredients. Teller seems like a great ingredient, so notice he hasn't left the field. Foster now seems like a great ingredient after seeming spoiled at the start of the season, he sticks. Taron Johnson's stuck. Since Vontae Davis abandoned us, we're experimental with guys like Ryan Lewis and Phillip Gaines, and now it looked like Levi Wallace has stuck. Punters aren't. Gotta play with that ingredient more. We just signed some guy named Darr. Shaq Lawson has suddenly turned a corner, so he sticks. Croom seems to be sticking. Same with Zay Jones. Benjamin seems spoiled, and I worry if this is the 2nd coming of Peterman love... loyalty that equals blindness. Regardless, I love the playing around with the roster. It's about making it better. And it's still about Wins, for this season and beyond. 5 games left in a season where we're barely clinging to mathematical playoff hope, but watching this young team and young Franchise QB develop is just so damn fun. I think McDermott is going to have the right ingredients next year from the start Edited November 29, 2018 by transplantbillsfan 5

MJS Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Should be trying everything they can on the offensive line. It isn't up to par yet. The times that Allen actually decided to stand in the pocket and make a throw he got clobbered. He scrambled so much because pressure got to him so quickly. And then obviously the run blocking is way below par. Luckily we don't face another defensive front so talented for the remainder of the season. 1

Yep, the pressure was still there, but it was less and he was smarter. 1st game of his young career where he didn't get sacked once.
SoCal Deek Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I’m as much concerned about the utter lack of push in the running game as pass protection right now. 3
Gugny Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 So ..... we dipping these guys in ranch or blue cheese? 2
JMF2006 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 The thing I like is that McD appreciates a guy who works hard in practice and is willing to give him a shot to prove it in a game. 4 minutes ago, Gugny said: So ..... we dipping these guys in ranch or blue cheese?

I swear I heard the sound of a needle scratching across an album. @BringBackFergy @Cripple Creek 3

He may have to create a new identity as he may never live down that disgraceful decision.

Royale with Cheese Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 I think we could see 3 new starters on the line next year...starting at Bodine and working right. I would guess they hit the FA pool of offensive lineman hard. I don't see a lot of talent at WR next offseason in FA so I think the money goes to the line. 2

billsfan1959 Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 Didn't he play quite a bit in the Chicago game?
CommonCents Posted November 29, 2018 Posted November 29, 2018 If the best ingredient you are mixing in is Teller, I’m probably stopping at Wendys on the way over. 1

Seeing Gug's posts about Cletus' Buffalo faux pas got me thinking. We should arange a get together for all of the TBD Bills fans based in Atlanta. We could meet up at the Duffs in Newnan, or some other Buffalo themed bar. There seems to be quite a few of us down here. Thoughts? and yes, I agree, right side of the line should and will be over-hauled next season.

The Bills bars I know of are The Standard in Roswell, Tavern at Medlock in Norcross and Duff's in Newnan. Is WhiteHall still the Bills?
