Kudos to the O Line

[Rich Stadium Original]

Yes they still had their moments at times last night, but overall I think we have seen great improvement in the O line. Continuity and lack of injuries has a lot to do with that.

At the beginning of the season, it seemed like Allen was running for his life a whole lot, and the holes in the running game just weren't there. 

 Against one of the best front 4s in the league, they more than held their own. Allen had a clean pocket MOST of the night, and the Jets only managed one sack.

  Going into the game, I think the line ranked 2nd best in the league in run blocking and showed more of the same last night.

  Another big test will be coming next week against the Eagles.

You’re missing half of the story. Do you think it is easy to run block vs. the jets?  The run-blocking was even better than than the pass blocking and was key to the victory.

I think the line has been doing great most of the year. And the TEs and backs block very well making Spencer Brown appear to be a sound pass blocker.

It is true that this is the best O-Line , not perfect, but most sound O-Line for the Bills in recent memory.  

 

The guard play, and the successful run plays between the tackles is very comforting.

Jets and Browns have the two best defenses in the NFL.  Josh and the Bills just hung 32 on them!

 

Jets D has playmakers all over, and Bills OLine kicked ass!  (During the game, and after!)

Aren’t the Jets bottom of the NFL in rush defense?

Could not ask for more that what we saw yesterday.

Jet “D” giving up 137 rushing yds. a game.

 

Eagles “D” gives up 67 yds. per game.

 

…..just saying.

 

 

Hmmm...

Jets are usually losing in the fourth quarter thus teams run more 

Eagles usually winning thus teams need to abandon the run.

 

Different stat tells a different story for these two defenses

 

Jets YPC 4.2

Eagles YPC 4.6

Oh ya, Philly has amazing rush D,  #1 ovr , not good in secondary,  Jets are way more balanced.  Brady could make another huge statement with the proper play calling

Uh oh ....I was looking at 2022.

Eagles are only giving up 3.7 YPC in 2023.

A good example of why stats should be used carefully.  Another stat line to be aware of is turnovers.  The Jets had a turnover problem on Sunday and Buffalo got points off of Jets turnovers more than once.  That may be harder to accomplish versus Jalen Hurts and Philadelphia than it was versus Zach Wilson and the Jets.  The Jets turnovers definitely inflated the appearance of the Bills' offense, not that I was disappointed in the offense.

Turnovers decide football games. The Bills in recent weeks haven't generated enough and have given too many. That switched last night and they won. I really think they have a chance to beat anyone on their schedule but the offense will have to play a clean game. 

[NewEra]

NO WAY!!  SPENCER BROWN SUCKS!!!!

 

kidding-  big up to 79.  He still has some terrible moments but he’s cut them down big time and has made some stellar blocks.
 

Dion and McGovern have been rock solid on the left while Morse has been a solid vet to pair with the big rook.  Kromer has done a solid job.  
 

Let’s appreciate them now and pray that we can continue to praise them in the next 4 weeks.  Philly, KC then Dallas. Get after it bigs

Rasul to the rescue!!  You KNOW he has this game scheduled.

Everything on offense looks better when we commit to the run game. OL included. When the guy lined up across from you doesn't know how he's going to attack at the snap, it creates a more favorable matchup. This was Dorsey's biggest failing as an OC, IMO.

[zow2]

The OL played great.  Although I do feel like they can be goaded into taking a devastating 15-yard personal foul penalty in the worst moment of an upcoming game.  These dudes need to keep their composure
