    what can you say? Complete domination tonight. Freaking Winters playing like a top guard in this league. Carpenter got hurt and Wesley Johnson comes in and you don't even have to call his name. The tackles Ilajana and Qvale...of course the beasts Mangold and Clady. They been excellent two weeks into the season.

    Top oline in the AFC, Clady is better than D'Brick. Wesley did fine filling for carp who's a beast. Winters may make pro bowl. RT by committee is working good.

    So nice to see the younger guys step up. That goes for Ijalana, Qvale, Winters and Johnson.

    If Clady stays healthy we will have gotten a steal. Macc should send Elway some extra strong dental floss as a thank you gift.

    Clady, when healthy, has HOF type of pass protection.

    And coach Todd Bowles wasn't lying when stating that Winters has been one of our two most improved players. Winters is playing lights out.

    OLine looked shaky on that first drive but they settled down and were great the rest of the game

    1st star of the game for me, he had tons of time to throw and they got Matt Forte 3tds and 100 yards rushing

    Didn't Qvale start the game and the o looked shaky? I thought when they benched him they were much improved, although he did get back out on the field.

    I think Ilajana was in there quite a bit more than qvale but I admit I wasn't exactly looking for them.

    I'm
    Still shocked at how good Winters has been though.

    remember the Bills had some key players out on defense but all in all a great job by the Oline

    Agreed. Once the oline gave Fitz time, he just destroyed the Bills.

    Is Bowles sprinkling PED's on the o-line's Wheaties? They are giving Fitz an opportunity to play at his ceiling.

    Fitz has been sacked only two times in two weeks. These guys have been playing great. Don't even notice Breno is out. When he comes back who knows if he even will start again.

    Clady is amazing. He's a great player when healthy. If Winters is for real and Carpentar isn't out long term the O-Line can actually be a strength for us. It's crazy to think that because I was really worried about this unit holding up. Mainly because I didn't believe in Winters.

    Idk. Fitz was getting the ball out quickly, moving smartly in the pocket and the running game wasn't exactly dominant. 100 yards, yes, but on like a zillion carries.

    Clady played well and Winters looks much improved but I don't think the line was dominant or anything. just my opinion.

    Any word on Carpenter's injury?

    After he went out, I was surprised to see Wesley Johnson come in instead of Dozier. I think Johnson played very well in Carpenter's place last night. I was very pleasantly surprised. Let's hope he is developing like Winters.

    A zillion carries = O-line doing something right. ;)

    Dozier was inactive. The way he played in the preseason I'm somewhat surprised he even made the team.

    Thanks. I didn't see the list of who was inactive for the game.
