But........why?

[Dozerdog]

He must have confused us with teh Montreal Allouettes or something.

[clumping platelets]

I could have said that on TV for less money

[LtBillsFan66]

Well that's not all he said.

[Bill Brasky]

"Look up pathetic in the dictionary and you'll see the Buffalo O-Line"

...That's what he said. He also said our team is too talented to be winless and that the O-Line is the reason for it, not our QB.

Wow....could he be right???

This line has been horrendous since Donahoe got here. Where's the draft picks to fix the holes that Butler or Polian would have gotten us?

Giving up sacks late in the 4th QTR.

I saw that clip that Salisbury commented on... just incredible. I mean, there was one play were DB was litterally sacked right when he finished his 3 step drop. How the hell does any QB produce anything under that kind of pressure?

True...but you have to also keep in mind that the D *knows* he can't move so they don't have to worry about him rolling out. Therefore they can focus 100% up the middle. Even with a good oline that would be a problem, although certainly it would help a ton if the oline was better, no doubt.

Don't confuse the issue, Eb. Bledsoe is mobile enough to roll out, just not fast enough to roll out faster than the rush rolls in.

And defenses don't even have to rush us, that's the problem! Yesterday, the Jets were getting sacks when they were in dime coverage!!! In other words, they placed a combined total of FIVE D-linemen and linebackers on the field, and were still able to overcome our five-man line. And these weren't 'coverage sacks,' oh, my, no. These were legitimate, through-the-line-in-three-seconds sacks. One-on-one blocking, and our guys have the size advantage, and they still can't do their job. This line is a coordinator's dream: you can put six DB's on the field so you know they can't pass, then you field your best front-FIVE, and still get the quick sack.
