Magox Posted Wednesday at 02:54 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:54 PM It's early but so far the Bills are winning in the trenches on all fronts, pass protection, run blocking, pass rush rates and run stopping. If this continues this bodes extremely well for a potential deep run in the playoffs. 5 5 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sierra Foothills Posted Wednesday at 02:58 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 02:58 PM For those who can't see it in the 4 part graph, the Bills Pass Rush (D) is underneath the Browns helmet. 1 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted Wednesday at 03:02 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:02 PM This matches my eye test. The pass pro (a couple of Torrence whiffs apart) has been stellar. The run blocking has been good but a bit less consistent. The pass rush has been really good, better than expected, but we have played two dubious offensive line teams. Hope it holds up as the tests get greater. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boyst Posted Wednesday at 03:07 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:07 PM The Panthers are strange. The OL hasn't been awful. It's easy to see it's on the QB and him alone. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Process Posted Wednesday at 03:10 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:10 PM Give Beane a lot of credit, he's built a very good O line, starters all locked up for several years, and very nice young depth with starting potential down the road. 9 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ColoradoBills Posted Wednesday at 03:11 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:11 PM If the OL and Dl play well on Monday Night Football, the Bills win easily. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted Wednesday at 03:12 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:12 PM Dawkins and Brown are playing at an elite level and we still have another gear for this OL to get to once Torrance starts getting his act together. Kromer is worth every penny. The DL has been incredibly impressive, especially in the pass rush and we know how good Oliver, Jones, Rousseau and Von can be.. Epenesa and Johnson started flashing in the Miami game and this team was incredibly high on Smoot over the Summer. We haven't even seen what he can bring to the mix yet. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billieve420 Posted Wednesday at 03:21 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 03:21 PM That is how you build a team from the inside out. If either line is ineffective it is going to affect the group as a whole. Still have concerns with the D-line need to see them against some better competition. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrMaxPower Posted Wednesday at 04:35 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 04:35 PM Can't be... didn't PFF give our whole OL 40s and 50s last week? They've been dictating the style and pace of games. It bodes well for the future. I think there's less variability week-to-week when your strong up front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nephilim17 Posted Wednesday at 05:03 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:03 PM After years of wanting this, it's good to see on both sides. Also good to see KC is 19th in PP with consistent grades from all 3 sources. Still early, but good to see. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted Wednesday at 05:04 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:04 PM 2nd year in a row, we may just have the best overall O-line in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerome007 Posted Wednesday at 05:08 PM Share Posted Wednesday at 05:08 PM The last game in particular, I don't recall such a domination by a Bills OLine. Yet in the past, both the DLines and the OLines have had dominant games in stretches followed by bad ones. I never could get it. I wasn't a clear cut thing like opposition, schemes or injuries. Anyway, regardless, this is great! Josh had to play Hero Ball on game 1 but besides that, the safeties, LBs, WRs, TEs have had little to do so far yet both are wins. Both lines and the corners are dominating, and of course JA17 is there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
