Didn't see these posted. I've seen other stats, but these really put it into perspective (from the article here: http://www.buffalobills.com/news/article-3/tough-sledding-for-offense-again/e7c7d51d-933e-42d6-8fff-fe4d518d51fb)

Stat #1: The starting offense has crossed midfield THREE times during the preseason.

Stat #2: The starting offense has been outscored by the defenses it has faced 7-3 (One FG drive by our offense, one TD return by Pittsburgh).


Honestly, I refuse to believe an offense could be THIS bad. It's just unreal to me that our offense has put up these kinds of statistics. I really, really hope they get better...

remember they didn't just dismantle the line and replace them with rookies, but they chose to put players out of their natural positions. that's a problem.

if you look up youtube clips of marshawn lynch runs, one amazing thing to note is that the line routinely wasn't blocking people. there are guys standing around. if you watch other preseason games, other teams block at least one guy. they find a body. So many times you see bills stand up without a clue as to who to block.....that's an issue.

I just don't see how Owens can fix all the problems by himself, I mean seriously I think we're looking at another typical 7-9, 8-8 season.

My thoughts too. Owens is good, but Reed was supposed to be the one who was Edwards' security blanket. Owens is talented, but he's not the one throwing to himself.
