I remember when Wilfork would get double teamed. He wouldn't necessarily push the pocket back but he wouldn't get steam rolled like our DL is.
This game gives me the same feeling when we lost 31 to nothing to Buffalo.
I like the bi-polar ness you have there Tony. Reminds me of all my family back in the Boston area and how hot and cold they run. We stink, going negative on every play, but once someone else says it, then here I come to the defense.
This is not sarcastic by the way, I seriously have great nostalgia for that type of fandom

For legendary Bills quarterback Jim Kelly, Brady being on the field against Buffalo isn't a bad thing -- he's actually happy about it.
"We have a very solid football team but the king is coming to town and that's the New England Patriots," Kelly said on NFL Gameday. "In order for us to get to the top, we got to get through them, so we'll see what happens. I'm so glad that Tom Brady is going to be here because we don't want to hear no excuses when we beat the Patriots today at Orchard Park."
Hope you got a good bite out of that burger, Mr Kelly.
Josh Kline starting...
So much for those super impressive rookie guards I kept hearing about.
I thought we were better on the OL than last year?
Do you wish to revisit this post?
It's not bipolar to be impartial. Contrary to what Lisa likes to whine about, I don't cry doom and gloom after one bad drive or play. Long term our run defense is going to be an issue, but it also was last season.
No? The OL definitely played better than expected but there is a reason why we didn't run the ball. Switch the QBs and we are the team that gives up 8 sacks today. Brady got the ball out quickly all game and the one time he really hung on to it he got strip sacked.
On top of that, I don't have a snap count but it didn't seem like the rookies played much if at all. Kline and Wendell started at guard and as far as I know played the entire game. As long as Kline is starting over them, I'm not going to hold my breath about how good they are.
