When AJ Green returns from injury this team should switch to a pass first Spread Offense. The Offensive Line keeps getting decimated by opposing defenses and they can't get the run game going at all. I say DON'T do what you can't. And DO what works.

Keeping one of your best players in Mixon on the bench is not a good way to go about winning.
He averaged 4.1 yds today, while not great, is a hell of a lot better than the last couple weeks. And the Bills have a nasty defense. So that’s encouraging to me. If he can run for 60 on them he should be able to put up some 100+ games vs teams with worse defenses.

Just imagine the variety of 1 yard WR screens we'll be able to run with Green. For instance, we can send Ross in motion and fake a Jet Sweep, then fake a screen to Bernard, fake a screen to Boyd, and throw a screen to Green for 1 yard.

What exactly does Gio do that works? Mixon is better at every part of the RB position, including receiving and running after the catch. Mixon should have been out there on that last drive today.

Agreed. Gio's role could be played by a rookie...but they pay him as a Top 15 back.
He isn't even effective receiving.

Was Joseph tired right after that 50+ yard play? No idea...

They should just try AJ out on the O-Line. He'd probably put at least more effort in than some of the bums that they're rolling out there every week.

I’d say Gio is the better blocker, but that’s about it.

He's better at cashing Top 15 RB checks than Mixon.

Agreed. Blow it up! Trade Andy for picks. Trade AJ for picks or better than average OT. Trade Geno for picks. Play Finley the rest of the year. Hell, he may wind up being someone ZT can mold into being a franchise QB. If not, package some picks and move up as far as possible in the draft and get ZT's QB there. Along with starting caliber OT's and Guards...

If they keep losing like this they won't need to trade up cause they'll have the top pick.
Of course, we have no idea of who they'd pick anyways.
The lack of upgrading at obvious weak positions yet again falls squarely on the front office.
