This makes sense.  He's been good all year but you're not giving him credit because you don't think Bradley Chubb isn't a starting DE?

He gave him credit.  He’s just not kissing his butt.  Bradley Chubb does suck.

The last three games the line has played great against some formidable fronts. If the trend continues it may be the best OL Josh has had which makes this offense even more deadly! Gotta keep everyone healthy.

He certainly looked quicker and more violent. Something happens between these two teams, and it brings the best out of our guys. Dawkins played with some real spice yesterday that was great to see. Hopefully he stays this way the rest of the season. 

Spot on. The whole team seems to raise their level of focus and intensity for these big games. (Makes me wonder why they laid such an egg against the Bengals last year).

He’s been pretty good. He’s always been pretty good other than last year. 
 

I was thinking about something today in regards to Josh Allen and his offensive lines. You rarely hear the national media talk about subpar offensive line play affecting Josh Allen. This is the best OL he’s had but OL talk and Allen never seems to be a topic outside of Buffalo.

Torrance could be a pro bowl guard this year if he continues his improvement...dude is so good it's ridiculous.

Where did Bradley Chubb end up on this play?? Dawkins taking him back to the tunnel

Well. He is fat and out of shape. But he has played well so far this season.  

 

Just because he's fat doesn't mean he's out of shape.  He obviously is in good enough shape to make it through an NFL training camp and play an entire NFL game.  I agree that it seems strange to see 300+ pound guys with less than perfect physiques successfully playing a professional sport, but they do.  Spencer Brown has a much better physique, but he's not a better player (although I hope that maybe one day he will be).

Thought both tackles did excellent

 

but I also feel we have a SOLID set of guards now with McGovern and the rookie !!!

 

Crazy what shoring up the interior will do to help those Tackles that are out on islands.

 

Now granted, Brown is getting a lot of help from TEs and RBs and even bringing in a 6th OL. But even when it's just the base 5 OL, the OTs are playing better than ever before.

I loved seeing him pull, totally sealed it off for Josh's rushing TD.

 

It’s widely known among the team that Dion is one of the better athletes in that room.

O'Cyrus Torrence is playing at such a high level for a rookie that he might be the best guard we've had since Jim Ritcher if he keeps going!!!

 

I was pumped when we drafted him, excited to see him gain a starting job, and then blown away by his play in the regular season. Just a special start...

I’m liking Torrence more and more each week. A few of his snaps the other day ended up with him lying on top of the Miami DLman he just demolished. And I don’t recall hearing Wilkins’s name all day.

Everybody pre season calling Dawkins fat, out of shape, lazy, etc.

 

He’s a good tackle and a cost controlled price. 

He looked bad against the Steelers in preseason. Otherwise in the other two preseason games he looked like he did last year (average to above average). Other than one bad preseason performance there was no reason to think he wasn’t going to at least be decent. 
 

Thus far he is playing really good. Easily the best he has been since 2019

I genuinely would have been Ok had the Bills drafted him in round 1. He was by far the best guard in the draft. How he fell to pick 59 is crazy. The Bills feasting off of other teams mistakes and getting themselves the best guard in the draft in the late second
