He didn’t get the ball either play but here’s why they moved away from 6 OL. Hawes doesn’t even have to run an actual route to have a chance at chunk plays on play action. Top of the screen on both plays.

90 & 46 regular season record 7 & 7 in the post season, you are as bad as Ralph firing Phillips & Knox the only 2 HC's that won anything while a HC with the Bills . So who then does your brilliance suggest they replace him with that would keep the team at least where it is and make it better ? Inquiring minds want to know !!!

Chiefs for sure -
Seeing the production of Bernard vs Edmunds I am glad Edmunds is with the Bears Bernard is much more instinctive and his production for the money has dwarfed what Edmunds did while here . I wish Bernard was built more like Edmunds with his instincts that would be a awesome thing but I'll take him as he is . Just a much better player of the money !!

Besides the fact that he's never coached or "consulted" before, so we have no idea of whether he'd be good in that role. Besides the fact that there's no indication it's something he's ever had an interest in. Why would he want to? He's making more money now for less work as an analyst (on top of other media appearances). He'd have to give that up if he wanted to have any official role on that side of a team. -
Hawes is a more traditional heavy package choice, but man, I miss those runs with Alec Anderson clearing out a LB or DB like a snowplow in a Buffalo blizzard.

Rather than turning yellow snow into Perrier, why don't we ask Ryan if he's willing to help fix our offense. No hot reads No Cook on 3rd down No WR room .....I'm sure he'd have some brilliant suggestions. -

Yes, and we saw it with CJ Spiller, a fast but otherwise much inferior back. -
All time great QBs do not equal "drought" The problem is twofold as I see it: 1. Our defensive minded HC has a scheme that no longer works (if it ever really did). It relies on smaller, faster players who are going to get hurt more often because of the nature of having a 225 pound LB getting blocked by OL who outweigh him by 100+ pounds play after play. It relies on keeping everything in front, and eventually the offense will make a mistake. It works often against mediocre QBs, but not against most of the guys you see in the playoffs. This carries over into the overall philosophy of the team: low event football as some call it. So exciting. Keep it clean, limit mistakes, make a play when you have to. Again, many teams are sloppy, undisciplined, and will often hand you the game if you play this way, so you'll rack up wins. But it doesn't work against great teams very often. 2. The GM is not very good. He is living off of drafting Allen, which was amazing for this franchise. But his free agent signings have been so-so at best, his draft picks, especially high ones, are so bad the HC who he is supposedly one mind with doesn't want to play them, and his roster build is so bad we're bringing back a guy with a broken neck who cannot or should not even play to sign to the practice squad and waste a space for no apparent reason last year, and this year we're signing back a bunch of players we let go ostensibly because they weren't good enough. This is an admission that the GM has failed time and time again to find suitable replacements for these players. There is no other way to say it, as much as we love these players as human beings and for what they did here. I'm not even kidding: Andre Reed would have had a better chance of seeing the field and making a contribution last season than Hyde. This is no shot at Hyde, the man had a career ending injury. But why was he taking up a spot on the practice squad? This GM has to go, and if the coach was fired as well I am fine with it. But Beane is by FAR the bigger issue.

Do you remember Ken Dorsey getting fired? I never brought up points. So what's your point? -
Of course, that's true. But this is year 8. Josh should be better at pre-snap reads by now. It's his weakest aspect as a QB. It's also how Tom Brady won 7 Super Bowls. In this case, it wasn't that he got sacked. That happens. It's that the protection call was laughably bad. They only rushed 5 and had two completely free rushers. I don't feel like posting a video, but I think this still sums it up nicely. Look at Brown standing there blocking nobody with two free rushers closing hard.

Why doesn't McDermott call the Defensive plays full time??
Taro Nimbus replied to Special K's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yes. But if the offense was at least competent, the Bills would have won that game. -

I loved those screens. The Buffalo Bills still own those Coach Gailey game films. I often wish the coaching staff would dig some of those out, dust them off, and shamelessly copy some of the screens. Can you imagine Cook getting the football in space with blockers in front of him like Fred did? Cook could score 10 TDs by Perl harbor Day if we did that.
