Bills Post-Game Thread

So are the preseason polly-annas willing admit that maybe they were incorrect to think our OL had improved? I kept pointing out all summer that our new guys were not any better and maybe worse than our old guys.

I love these "smartest in the room/call out others" posts when most others said the same beforehand. Most fans on here stated or believed the o-line could be an issue this season.

Haven't posted all day because I knew there'd be these types of comments (not yours, but the one you're responding to). And you're right, everyone thought the line would be an issue.

You must be very proud of yourself.

Started the Bills defense too because of our O-line.

I guess I'm one of those. lol

I still think, as a whole, the unit is better than last year's unit. Unfortunately, that's not saying much. And it's still a bad combination with the QB we currently have, paired with the game plan that was rolled out there this weekend.

The Bills just teed off on Sam knowing he holds on to the ball too much. The only way to counter that is to run the ball - effectively. We did that, but not nearly enough.

Rushing attempts: 13
Passing attempts: 29

Yards per rush: 8.1
Yards per pass: 3.3


Like MTK/Mooby said - time to burn the tape and move on to Philly. Hopefully, they can make some adjustments to the offensive game plan this week. Otherwise, it will be the same result. Philly is good, but they aren't the Bills. It's a game that can be had.

Yeah, Eric really needs to balance the passing/rushing to help Howell and the Oline.

On a different note, it will be good to see how Howell respond after yesterday. Howell said, "the sun will come up tomorrow" so this is a good sign that he is aware that yesterday was just one game and can move on easily. The downside is the opponents now know that their defense plan is to confuse Howell, so Eric and Howell need to have plans to counter that defense plan.

That is an easy thing to say, it is way harder to actually believe it.
He looked broken towards the end of the game, I hope he can be fixed.
