I blame the O-LINE

[im4bflo]

The D line didn't show much either, but the O-line HAS, IS, and WILL be our biggest problem, until it is fixed, every part of the game suffers.
We're not getting the holes less skilled backs get, to have the awesome running game we (should) have, and our QB's have been sacked or had to run for their lives for years now. Look at the time the other teams QB has compaired to ours, changing QB's (for a spark) isn't working, because it's the line. And injuries is an excuse, everyone has injuries.
When the lines play well, WE WIN, it's obvious to me. GO BILLS! JPD

Trey Teague sucks and needs to go! :mad:

God, I really really really really miss Kent Hull. We havent had a good center since he was here. :(

[Italian Stallion]

Bennie Anderson is horrible too. We have no depth at all, to even make some changes in the lineup and challenge these guys. Starting Justin geisinger to get through to villerial or jason peters for williams is asinie.

Greg Jerman sucks....why is he using up a roster spot???

[Italian Stallion]

i HATE our oline

[im4bflo]

Our depth at o-line is scary, are any starters coming back for next week?

[im4bflo]

Don't you think it's the line? :wave:

Yeah, just like last year :snicker2:

One of the problems with our line is that they are all run blockers. Mike Williams, always hear he is a dominant run blocker. When the Bills signed Villarrial, all I heard was he is a solid run blocker. Bennie Adnderson, touted as a road grader. Granted our run game is pretty solid, but it just seems these guys are too one-dimensional.
We should have kept Tucker, he brought toughness last year.

Mikey I have said for 2 years now that Trey needs to go

[Bert102176]

but you can't put all the blame on the OL cause JP has been holding on to the ball way too long plus the OC Clements sucks they need better play calling

I didn't thing he had much time at all, most of the time, this Sun.
And when he did, no one seemed to be open, and he did hold the ball long.
But he was getting chased, and they were in our backfield way too soon, to let any QB get into any rhythm.

Been my mantra for more years than I care to remember at this point. . .

Everything strarts in the trenches. Skill players can't showcase their skills without the backbone formed by the linemen.

Things won't change in Buffalo until the lines perform better. I believe the personel exit on defense to make it happen - they just need to figure out how to pressure QB's on 3rd down. I'm not at all sold on the O-Line talent.

I think Mike Gandy has looked good so far and Villarreal is holding his own, but other than those two, the line has been playing poorly. Teague was fooled by stunts and looked lost a couple of times when there seemed to be no one to engage as the end was running by him.

That said, JP isn't making things any easier. I remember at least two times when Jerman actually had his man and there was a good pocket to operate in. Instead of stepping up when he couldn't find an open receiver at first, he rolled out right into the rush.

So far, I'm not impressed by JP's instincts. Yes, it's early, but either you have it or you don't. If his play continues this way for much longer, I'm going to be one of the people calling for Holcomb. For now, I say stick with him.

[vicmantak]

I would say blame the F-OFFICE.

Unfortunately, this season started sorely wrong when they decided to keep their frequently out powered Teague at center and then, add Bennie Anderson... someone who was nothing special on the right side to play a more vital side... knowing that they lost their starting LT and that they made plans to start a developing QB.

On the other hand, if Bills had some issues with Williams cap, mobility and leadership... believe me that moving him to guard would have been the perfect fit to his 7.6 million, 6-6, 360 frame.
IMO it would have been much better to see Teague returning to his LT spot, move Williams to play LG and start Gandy to fill this right spot from the beginning.
At least, this movements would have allowed Bills to explode their own strengnesses.

In summary, Bills OL truth is three very average and apoptotic veterans on clear decline (Teague, Villarial and Anderson) + one unachieved and overpaid "propect" (Williams) + one newcomer tackle protecting the blind side (Gandy).<!-- / message -->

Haven't you learned by now that Mike Williams will never move to guard as long as TD is here. He can't do it no way no how. If he did he's be admitting he f-ed up, which we all know anyhow.
I would like to see Teague go back to left tackle and Preston put in at center. Teague is more of an agile finesse player and is better suited for lt than center. And besides Preston can't do any worse because Teague is getting his asss kicked at center.
Gandy was playing decent until this past week and then he got destroyed. Try Gandy at either of the guard spots because both Anderson and Vill. have stunk all year.
As overrated as p***y Mike is he is still better than Jerman and we need him back this week but he is such a wuss who knows if he will play.

Good job TD you have built one hell of a o-line.

[The last buffalo fan]

Hello there guys, this is Greg Williams, and my closest friends call me the boobs man. I just want to let you know, that the bills problems ares not the front office, the coaches or the game planing, it is execution.
