Very much agree with this, however, the thing is, every team has trouble stopping these guys. If it was easy to stop them they wouldn't be premier players! The real problem is, we don't have any of these players our self and our GM/Coach are almost adverse to this type of player. Almost every contender has a few... we have zero outside of Josh (maybe cook but without an outside threat he's not going to beat a team by himself).

Brady sucks, he's terrible. Go back to fundmentals. Start schemeing some plays for Elijah Moore or something. He's fast, run him on some easy plays over the middle when the space gets cleared out. He's in a problem solving industry and Brady has no answers for anything! Any wrinkle the opponent sends his way, he can't counter it.

Game week thread - Bills at Steelers

that doesn't bode well for us IMO. Hope I'm wrong -
There needs to be multiple blockbuster type trades. But it's more likely Beane will draft undersized Defensive players instead
-
the Brady haters (not I-me) may also get their wish if he leaves for the LSU HC postion which is a top 5 NCAA D1 job and pays megabucks...more than one non-Bills fan mentioned that to me on my recent flight to-fro the 716... So...then...what...last two (2) Bills OC have been the in-house QB coach...so is the next man up....Ronald Curry...who has no-zero OC experience !?!?!?! Playing Oakland Raiders (2002–2008) Detroit Lions (2009)* St. Louis Rams (2009)* * Offseason and/or practice squad member only Coaching San Francisco 49ers (2014–2015) Offensive assistant New Orleans Saints (2016–2017) Offensive assistant New Orleans Saints (2018–2020) Wide receivers coach New Orleans Saints (2021) Quarterbacks coach New Orleans Saints (2022–2023) Quarterbacks coach & passing game coordinator Buffalo Bills (2024–present) Quarterbacks coach

I don't disagree and I expect the biggest splash to be at WR to address that. BUT the offense realistically needs two guys and with the right guys it can really go. The defense on the other hand is a full blown mess. The investments made to help the d-line are either hurt or failed, the LB corp sucks and doesn't fit todays NFL. The secondary thank god looks like it could be quite good if they get the right safety in and another decent good CB for reserve. But in general a lot more talent and a new scheme is needed if you want the D to be decent.

Game week thread - Bills at Steelers

I’m not sure how the Bills are favorites in this one. Steelers will run all over this defense, Rodgers will be able to keep the chains moving when they’re not, and TJ Watt will probably have 6 sacks. Steelers 27 Bills 24 -
Wonder if Jordan Addison will be available this offseason

This is what needs to happen. Brown would likely be much cheaper to acquire. JJ is 2 1sts and maybe more -
Penix actually improves the team even if he isn’t getting the job done. London is a more productive guy. Bijan more productive in the passing game also. Disagree but that’s down to personal preference. I can see someone making the argument for Seattle and it not being wrong. I will say, it is a divisional game and for some reason when LA went up 14-3 then 14-6 they barely ran the football from that 2nd quarter onward. In fact, all their drives from the 2nd quarter onward were all 5 plays or less… Bear in mind too their first drive was inside the opponents 10 yard line and the failed to convert a 4th & 1.

WR is one position where "culture" should be mostly overlooked

I've been drained of any optimism that Beane is going to fill any roster holes after many seasons of failing to do it. In fact, I'm not sure that's the best approach to restocking the roster. I'd rather see them going BPA at whatever position that might be. Getting some playmakers and serious talent at any position will do more to raise the level of play on either offense and defense rather than reaching for need which has failed as evidenced by spending so much on the D line for no big improvements year after year or drafting the 7th best corner vs. for example the best center or safety. I think that's more how teams like the Eagles, Ravens, and Chiefs approach it.

Read tha damn original post. No one is asking for Matt Canada to be hired at Bills' OC. The thread is asking if we agree that the number of fired OCs is a QB stat.
-
I think he’s lost a step, or I would say half a step. He’s still elite at avoiding the rush. But… teams employ a hybrid spy that closes any QB scramble lanes quickly… essentially they bait him into thinking he can run, but really can’t. They can do this… because the offense doesn’t push the ball downfield enough to back those LBs up. So they’re about to play roughly 5yds off the LOS, take away the short crossing passes and step into the lane if Josh decides to run. In the end.. Brady has failed to adjust his offense while the league has figured it out. Add to it, the inability to find a serious downfield WR and you get the type of games like last week. Add to the offensive struggles at adapting.. you have half the defense on IR. We’re down to what 3rd and 4th string DTs?

This is the dude from a few years ago who allegedly made a fake twitter account to defend himself.
-
We were the consensus AFC favorite my pretty much everyone. Media, bettors, and fans. With our schedule, perceived weak AFC East, and tougher division for the Ravens and Chiefs, as well as starting 4-0. This wasn’t fans living in delusional land.
-
I understand some of the negative feedback but what else can be expected at this point of the season with limited space? Promote Fox and put Shaq on the PS Shaq at least brings some energy on the field IMO. & is a decent edge defender against the run
-
Back to reality.
-
We spent what 6 draft picks on defense last April and here we are talking about how we genuinely need a defensive overhaul
-
Work is tough today man. I'm sitting here thinking about what I should eat after work because I need to eat Figured I'd grab pizza. Then I realize I'm not gonna be able to share it with her like I always do and it's hard to hold the tears in Pizza was her favorite

IF they win, in their last 15 December games the Bills are 14-1. They would be in good shape. If they lose? The winds of change are coming.

It says "empower," not "force." Josh wants to spend more time making plays and reading the defense after the snap. In other words, being in a flow state, not thinking, and "playing freer," instead of "directing more of his energy and preparation toward setting protections." Of course, the protections are designed by Kromer, and are built into the play that Brady calls from the booth. But it is always on a player on the field to set the specifics of the protection on a play-by-play basis, because the OC has no way to do that. He has no control over what happens from 15 seconds on the play clock until they turn his mic on again. The article states that the protections are simple by design, allowing Josh to play "freer." You can disagree, but you're disagreeing with Mike Sando and "coaches familiar with Buffalo," not me. I have no idea about NFL protection schemes. I just know that the Bills seem to allow a lot of free rushers, and this article provides a nuanced answer for why that is. All QBs have strengths and weaknesses. Pointing out that Josh Allen is not elite pre-snap like Brady and Manning doesn't make me a hater. Josh Allen is my favorite current player in the NFL, but he's going to have to get better at pre-snap reads and setting coverages if he's going to play past the point where he can avoid NFL DEs. FWIW, the rest of the article about Brady's schemes not being dynamic is maddening and is a fireable offense. And I want to punt McDermott to the moon for his defense allowing that end of the half drive to Davis Freaking Mills. Plenty of blame to go around for a game like that, and Josh Allen still almost led the Bills to a win. He's that great.

Time to start blaming the guy that promotes the coaches. How many coordinators are going to take the fall before someone realizes and admits that it’s been McD all along?
-
In my opinion, the Bills struggle mightily containing the best player(s) or unit that everyone knows will kill us on game day. I know it's hard to be a coordinator, but the Bills seem to get gashed to pieces by the one or two players that you know a week in advance will change the game. Can the coordinators start earning their money?!? Baltimore: Slow down Lamar passing/running and limit Henry running downhill.. (Lamar 70 yds rushing, 11.0 Y/A and Henry 18 for 169, 2 TD). Thank you Allen for getting the W. Dolphins: Contain Achane (5.2 avg rush), thank you Bernard for saving it late. Saints: They can't pass, just contain the run (189 yds rush, 5.6 avg) Patriots: Just don't let Diggs go off ( Diggs 10 for 146 yds) Falcons: They have two guys, Bijan and Drake London. Contain them. (Bijan 19 for 170, 1 TD,,, Drake London 10 for 158, 1 TD) Dolphins: They have two guys, Achane and Waddle. Contain them. (Achane 22 for 174, 2 TDs,,, Waddle 5 for 84, 1 TD) Bucs: No Bucky Irving, Bucs can't run, contain them so they are one dimensional (202 yds rush, 5.2 avg). Thank you Superman Allen Texans: Hyped up defensive unit. Have a plan. (Bills sacked 8 times for 70 yds, multiple negative plays, 3 turnovers no takeaways) What's gonna be for the Steelers: TJ Watt, (2 sacks, 1 strip scoop & score?, DK Metcalf 8 for 120, 2 TDs?)

Even with the injuries, McD will have the team ready. Including playoffs the Bills are 4-1 against the Steelers under McD.
