Can you imagine a QB with quick feet and the ability to scramble & run down field getting sacked 7 times!!! 7 times! Who was Wood blocking up the middle? Anyone? It was a five man disaster that's been coming for weeks. If Shady can't break a few runs early on in a game these guys just play to hang on! Tonight the RB's averaged 2.9 yards per carry with no help from the O-Line.

Eric Wood is toast. He has not been able to properly anchor for years now.

Re: The offensive line grades out at "F"
Rarely are absolute evaluations of a particular unit on a football team made that are completely accurate, without qualifications. I think the offensive line had major problems in the Jets game. I think the coaches did a poor job of play calling. I know there are times when I can anticipate what the Bills are going to do next and that it will be unsuccessful. Lo and behold, I'm right! I also think that while Tyrod is very mobile and may have more ability to evade tacklers than any other QB in the league, it is also true that statistically he tends to hold on to the ball longer than an other QB in the league. When you have a QB like that, there are things scheme wise that the other teams' defense can do to contain the QB and keep him from breaking out of the pocket. Todd Bowles has a good defensive mind. It should not be a great surprise that the Jets did exactly that. As is usually the case in a bad loss, there is plenty of blame to go around. I also think that Sean McDermott is a pretty bright head coach, and has figured out a lot of this stuff already. Rome wasn't built in a day, and I don't know that everything the Bills did wrong versus the Jets is going to be fixed for the Saints game, but I believe over time the Bills are going to become less vulnerable to being ambushed the way the Jets did to them on Thursday.I've made up my mind. Don't confuse me with the facts.
I'm the most reasonable poster here. If you don't agree, I'll be forced to have a hissy fit.

Re: The offensive line grades out at "F"
Tyrod holds on to the ball too long. If we had a QB with better anticipation, the O-line would look better. It reminds me of when Rob Johnson made the O-line look horrible and was getting sacked all the time & Flutie wasn't getting sacked behind the same O-line.

Re: The offensive line grades out at "F"
2 things:
1.The OL came up against a young and motivated group on a short week. Wood, Incognito and Ducasse are older vets that got beat up by said motivated youth.
2. We were not prepared for that 5 man front and had no solution to it during the game.

Re: The offensive line grades out at "F"
I was surprised no short passing game to offset that. Seems like they were all medium to long routes run. Now it could be Tyrod was looking for big plays there because the running game had zilch and he was constantly staring at 2nd long, 3rd long all day.

If a Defense makes Tyrod hold on to the ball for a couple of seconds, he starts to panic in the pocket and looks to run. When a D is able to keep him in the pocket , he's done.
Fitz's made the OL look better than it was because he knew how to read D's and pretty much knew where he was going. If only he had a better arm.Last edited by justasportsfan; 11-07-2017, 11:50 AM.

It would have given Tyrod an extra second or two to find open receivers on drop backs. You could also run out of it and block up better to give McCoy time to get to the second level.

Re: The offensive line grades out at "F"
POCKET PASSER WANT A BE, you guys ever play on the offensive line?
Tyrod has the ability but placing him in the pocket during obvious passing downs is the joke of the league, a 3 year old knows he can't hit passes from there...
If I see this Mr Dennison guy, I will wack him with my caneLast edited by Wally The Barber; 11-07-2017, 01:16 PM.Beware of Sarcasm
