WildCard Posted September 9, 2018 Author Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I think our answer to which Buffalo team will have a better season is clear ? Allen has had 3 drops, one of them a touchdown by Benjamin. Not great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randall Flagg Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Also, our offensive line was not good, but it was, as predicted, not the disaster we saw in the preseason. Too many sacks but enough time on the throws we did make that you can clearly see Peterman is way over his head. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's also true that until this game hit pure garbage time, Tyrod had more yards rushing than our entire offense had produced. Really though, I think there's a lot of talking past one another here on Tyrod. Whether anyone thinks it was smart/dumb to move on from him without an obviously better solution in the fold, I think we can all unify around the idea that emerging from the offseason with Nathan Peterman at the top of the depth chart was a clear organizational failure.

Yes. This mess from top to bottom is McBeane's baby. And Tyrod's 34% completion and 107 yards would not have translated to the rain throwing to Kerley against Eric Weddle in any meaningful way.

Could probably say the same about Big Ben. Of course, I'm sure somewhere there are people shouting to the clouds that turnovers don't matter as long as you can get passing yardage.

Randall Flagg Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 I'm sad that Teddy Bridgewater is sitting on a bench while we try to figure out what to do next week. Even with Teddy's knee uncertainty. Has Ben hit the old man wall finally, or was this week a fluke? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to keep screaming from the mountaintop that McBeane hasn't shown to have a single shred of offensive acumen. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LTS Posted September 9, 2018 Report Share Posted September 9, 2018 Those noises you hear are Bills fans everywhere crashing back down to Earth from the ridiculous euphoria that enveloped them. They sucked last year. They still suck. They are probably even worse than last year. I can't even imagine getting mad about anything related to this team. The argument over which QB would suck less is entertaining but to be calling names like that over it? Let's be real... Tom Brady could start for the Bills and the end result might be 10 points instead of 3 today and they'd probably still go 0-16. Accept it now and save yourself the grief.

If I weren't so lazy, I'd scroll back earlier in the thread and see how many were in denial that last year was luck, that making the playoffs meant they were good, etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The good half of their line disappeared, and they used the starting QB that threw 5 picks in a half last season, and got a result you'd about expect - that doesn't change a single thing about what last year was and what it wasn't.

And this is why moving Tyrod isn't the part that bothers me, like, at all - he couldn't beat a Steelers team that turned the ball over forty times today - so many QBs exchanged hands this summer, at a wide range of ability, and we chose to do what we did after deciding to move on, which was a defensible move if they knew what to look for.

If you're not going to let me snark on last year being lucky, can you at least let me snark about culture? And McDermott's "command" of the room? Process? And so on? I just spent 3 hours on this game, you have to let me have something! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And it's not just the QBs. It's the coordinators, as I mentioned before. Trading a pick for Benjamin. Trading up for Zay Jones. Jordan Matthews. Vlad Ducasse. The list goes on. Have any of their moves on offense resulted in even a positional upgrade? I'm thinking no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hey, they've upgraded Tolbert to Murphy!! (Pretends Tolbert wasn't also their guy) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Separately, I spoke too soon about that game!
