Brady went in with the same small ball offense against Miami and Miami stuffed it. It took Brady too long to adjust and they probably practiced nothing in an open offense. Especially one that still featured Coleman who was jogging through lazy routes. Atlanta game you are right, they weren’t prepared. Atlanta figured out how to use our motion against us and it’s why the protection calls were wrong. Cus they showed one thing and let the motion play out. Josh called protections and the D swapped the other way. Josh got confused. As did Brady on how to adjust to it.

Why don’t you find it for us?

I often wonder, and will defer to those on here with more coaching and scheming experience, how much flexibility there is by Week 11. Are teams still installing new plays at this point? Or is the playbook more or less set? And therefore it’s just a question of play selection not play installation?

Ah gotcha...I think maybe both him and McD realized that it is that time of the year that they have to let the MVP be the MVP and just trust that he will get it done. No more time for playing conservatively or safe and trying to protect him as much as possible...just let him go out and be Josh...not surprisingly he responded after a little bit of a rough start by "Going Sicko" as he calls it on them.

tbh I've thought about the bomb to diggs, in the context of that particular drive and the game in totality, and what it represented way more than is healthy😂😂 I think they panicked there. I think they looked at 8mins left and calculated that even tho they had played basically a perfect ball control game on offense up to that point, the likelihood of capping it off w an 8min scoring drive was low and they needed one more possession to be safe. After it failed they got stuck in no man's land and we all know how it played out from there. I think that play, more than anything else, was such a poignant admission of why this whole low risk conservative approach isn't the way to go. Even after the perfect game script they were forced to abandon it and get completely out of character

That’s nothing! I run and hot cold during EVERY game.

Sorry. I'm saying that Deboll got fired from the Giants and all a sudden Brady opens up the Bills offense as in he's feeling the heat. That's what took from it. I also like your analogy. Thats good!

Stroud practicing, but still in protocol and unlikely to play until after Thanksgiving.

How is that possible if we got ran all over and zero pressure?

Oh my

A bit of both. Receivers do need to block at times, and do a good job at it. Joe Brady needs to be way less predictable with his plays and make those in-game adjustments faster. For whatever reason he decided to unleash Johnson and Cook as WRs against the Bucs, like the fan base has been screaming to do, and it worked. I hope he considers some pre-snap motion plays for Thursday. Have to make the Texans defense think a bit. You don't want them running downhill like the Falcons and Dolphins were.

NOBODY fluffed Coach with more vigor than roundy. Very passionate support!

Two years ago was a lot of TD's ago. I didn't realize that many were sneaks back then. So probably 25 or so total sneak/push TD's? That would be a third of his total which would be more than I thought.

I'll be pleasantly surprised if this is an easy game. Texans have a good defense and their offensive woes may work their way out vs our defense. Short week and away games is a bad combo. Defense has to get stops. On offense, hope they mix it up as much as possible to keep their edge guys from causing too many problems. Keep passing to RBs. Need a zero to low turnover game as well.

well I won’t make any conclusions from just one game. The Bucs don’t have the greatest pass defense. They are good at pressure and turnovers. That’s about it. also, I think we ran a lot of 11 personnel or at least more than normal. They probably weren’t prepared for that.

In all seriousness… has Samuel played in 2 consecutive games even once since he came here? Coleman may suck. But at least he’s on the field pretending to play. Samuel… I just don’t get it.

Pileated woodpeckers started coming back in the 1990s as more and more former farmland became forest lands. They are mostly forest birds and don't often come into urban/suburban areas unless there's a particularly choice supply of insects in a tree(s). There are several pairs nesting in the woods around Bergman Park and Hundred Acre Lot, two wooded parks on the outskirts of the Jamestown. Mostly you hear them rather than see them. There calls sound sort of like Woody Woodpecker, and their drumming is really loud as they literally rip chunks of trees apart getting to their quarry.

Still light-years ahead of everyday alpha male Tim Walz! You sure stepped in it with that swing and a miss huh?

Dorsey got fired. Daboll left for a HC job with the Giants in the offseason, although there was speculation he would have resigned and went elsewhere if he hadn't gotten it due to tension between him and McD. Dorsey was just terrible in terms of his ability to call games and know how the flow of a game should go...it was just a mish mash of plays called whenever he wanted with no feel for when to call them or why or in what situations they would be most effective or how to set up the defense with playcall combinations and/or plays that looked the same that they showed them earlier in the game that are different, etc Dorsey reminded me when I used to go out to clubs back in the day and you'd go to some clubs where the DJ knew how to get into a flow and maximize everything and take the crowd somewhere and then other clubs the DJ would just play whatever song in any order and completely wreck the flow of the night. Same songs, just no understanding of how to sequence them properly. That was Dorsey in NFL terms.

Nice win vs TB but it basically gets flushed with a loss to Houston. We need to prove we’ve turned a corner. We’ve been running hot and cold all season.

Reminds me of Merton Hanks

I forget who, but someone said basically that it's a coincidence that Dabol gets fired and all a sudden Joe Brady opens up the Bills offense.

It's feels in some cases though. Like the Baltimore game last January. Just terrible offense. Baltimore didn't respect them outside and took away the explosives in the middle of field. And the KC AFCCG the week later featured a series early in the game where Allen went 3 and out with 2 terrible passes and a drop by Kincaid. And I don't think the 2023 game was really intended to work out like it did. Like I said, they just couldn't connect down the field at times and then had a bunch of late down conversions to keep the ball. That last drive a bomb went thru Diggs hands. Brady was not just trying to control the clock it just almost worked out where they looked smarter than they were.
