Quenssenberry deserves s shout out

[Forward_Lateral]

What about D Williams, he knows the offense?

I'm pretty sure he was brought up earlier this year, and someone mentioned he's retired and doing something outside of football now.

[OpIv37]

The more likely approach is exactly what they did last night: Allen had 33 drop backs and 8 carries. Cook/Singletary/Hines had a combined 29 carries. Almost a 4 to 3 ratio. If the running backs can be effective, less demand on Allen in drop backs. And it should open up doors for play-action, which is not really featured that much yesterday.

No RPO yesterday.

I think that's the way to go instead of raiding practice squads for pass-pros.

Anyone noticed that yesterday is the least Allen centric offense the Bills run this year? Heck they even converted 3rd and 1s without Allen, a touchdown on 3rd and 1. Allen made 1 or 2 "wow" throws, that's it.

Fair point, but can/will they actually do it? We've been hearing since 2020 of how they need a more balanced attack that doesn't rely on Allen so much, with results that are mixed at best. There have even been times where we had early success with the RB's but Daboll/Dorsey went away from it for some inexplicable reason. I don't know that I completely trust the O to stick with the run game.

well yeah. But Doyle and Quenssenberry were the 2 back ups. Doyle went to IR at the end of Sept and they really haven't replaced him. IDK about the former Arizona guy who they signed, but he was a RT there.

But if you go down the list of available guys, it isn't that impressive.

A washed up Eric Fisher?

an equally washed up Nate Solder?

idk.. maybe they activate Van Demer from the practice squad.

The best thing they did last night was to scheme around the situation. He wasn't nearly the liability in the run game as in the pass game.

I was really expecting Judon to have a big night against us, regardless of the injury. But he didn't.

Yeah I would say most teams across the league are dealing with some OL injuries and all have OL depth issues. It's hard enough finding good starters let alone adequate backups. At this point in the season you're not going to find decent OL talent sitting around waiting for teams to call.

Quenssenberry gutted it out and was grinding out there....never giving up....giving his all.

Just like the Bills have gutted it out and grinded their way to THREE wins over just TWELVE DAYS.....all on the road.

This is the way championship level teams react to hardship and challenges during a long season.

[Canadian'eh!]

Hats off to him for playing through pain. But let’s be honest. He ducked something awful. From the first snap he was just a turnstile. Dawkins doesn’t impress me, but he’s a lot better than the other options it seems. If Queesenberry is the only backup plan they have, it’s probably worth investing is a backup LT at some point.

[Mace]

He gave it his best, damaged, and we had a conference/division win against the Pats. It wasn't great, but we made it. I have no gripes and give him a cheer. It might prove critical that he even held up this game. I'm good with it.

[Typ0]

If he knew how hurt he was, he should've told the coaches he can't play.

No, it doesn't work that way. These guys aren't worried about HR or the lawyers my friend -- they are trying to win as best they can. And along with everything they have to achieve in that plight they achieve a very high degree of intimacy as a group and a willingness to sacrifice that runs deep. Quessenbury was in that position because he was what we had that could best take a shot at getting the job done. There were a lot of problems in that game but I thought it was one of the best games I have seen the team play. They had to fight together to overcome those things and Allen played smart and decisive enough to make some big plays and get a lead. This team that is decimated and sickly.

[Mad Bomber]

I suppose, but why did the coaches even put him out there?

He wasnt effective, and was a turnstile all game. Could have put in anyone else to have NE DEs run around, run through, etc... and it wouldnt have changed anything

Because the alternative was Bobby Hart.

[Oaf]

Beane deserves a time out for the OL cast he's put together.

It was a MVP night for Josh Allen to move the offense the way he did with the time he was given, and without an INT.

[Woodman]

Because the alternative was Bobby Hart.

Nuff said!

[Kenny]

Because the alternative was Bobby Hart.

And he was worse than Quenssenberry that game? Nope. Both were easily beaten to the outside, fooled by inside moves, or just bulled right over.
