Offensive Line is Garbage

[Dan Darragh]

So can someone explain to me why Sean declined the holding penalty instead of pushing them out of FG range?

[Marvlevydraftdaygenius]

Sean McDermott, cost us the game not starting 2 offensive line I just wish McDermott, and Beane should go after this loss the season is over period the team will not recover from this one.

Bobby Johnson is the worst line coach in the league and Kelly Skipper is stealing money.

This thread is terrible.

How? You expect us to say they're performing well? Or maybe you expect us to stay positive after dropping two of our last three and just losing to the f'n Jacksonville Jaguars. Get real.

My theory is Josh was hurt and knew he couldn't deliver his usual laser to the sideline. But even if true, the option he went with was worse imo. Josh got beat up all game. I believe his throwing shoulder wasn't the same by games end.

[Buffalo Barbarian]

This is true been saying this since Ritchie and Woods left . Hopefully Beane realises this and gets it fixed next year.

Like many of us said early in the week, our offensive line is garbage and Allen may have played his worse game in some time.

Cody Ford is garbage. He was burned all game and led directly to two picks and 2 sacks.

 

He should never see the field again.

Today was a confluence of factors that led to us looking like the worst o-line in the league. I have no complaints about Morse. Maybe he got beat a couple times but he wasn't a recurring problem. The other 4 were bad to terrible. Dawkins had his worst game of the year. So did Williams. With Brown and Feliciano out we were forced to start Ford and Boettger. Boettger is a backup caliber guard and Ford is not even roster worthy. Plus we are without Knox and Sweeney is a bottom of the roster type of player, not a remotely capable blocker. I felt so bad for Allen.

Totally agree.  Dawkins, IMO, has not fully recovered from his bout with covid.   Clearly Ford cannot play any position on the o line.  If our backups are better players (e.g. Bates) we need to put them out there.  The weakest link in the chain is the most important.  It can break the chain.

If Dawkins hasn’t recovered from his Covid the Bills could have a big problem. He has a large contract and it’s possible his body could never return to the same level of function as it previously had.

I think he just needs to get stronger...physically and mentally.

Hot garbage.      Beane did everything right except this group of hot trash that makes up our OL.   

[Sherlock Holmes]

Told you we need McCaffrey...

I dunno about Bates.  But Williams at RT, Ford at RG, and Boettger at LG ARE our backups

[CEN-CAL17]

Is Bobby Johnson being questioned? For 3.5 years straight our OL is suspect

[bigduke6]

the biggest worry i have about the O Line from this game is,   we knew the interior was hot garbage,   our tackles werent much better today.  that,  is,  worrisome

You're right...albeit Williams started last year at RT and was moved inside due to Brown's emergence.  I think Bates is better out there than Ford at the very least, but I don't know if they've ever tried him at guard.

[947]

WTF is it gonna take for Bates to get a shot? If he is truly a backup at all 5 OL spots, at least try him over Ford for a series, it can't possibly be worse. I am dumbfounded that we made no halftime adjustments to the OL.

 

Ford down-blocking to triple team a rusher & letting a DT fly directly past him to Josh was the last straw for me. I know we don't know the blocking assigments, but it definitely wasn't supposed to be a triple team. That guy is lost.
