That's true but Jalen hurts significantly struggles to throw the ball outside the numbers compared to Josh Allen so it's a give take I do believe if Sean McDermott was given better wide receivers he would be willing to throw the ball more just not been given that so he wants to keep his job and that's running one of the best running backs in the AFC... And then letting the most talented player in the NFL make some plays around that That's a pretty safe bet to get into the playoffs... Follow your best two players It has looked uneven, herky jerky, out of place.... But I've seen Tom Brady's offenses look this way after 6 or 7 weeks of the regular season and he got it on track Keyword he.. not his offensive coordinator... Not his quarterback coach.. Brady would take the bull by the horn There's pieces here where there is an offense that could be put in place that is tough to stop... Josh needs to finally please Lord he's my favorite player.. take the reigns... Command meeting rooms command film study command the game planning... Joe Brady's job depends on Josh so he should embrace what Josh says he needs in the coming weeks game plan wise Eagles are the team where Brown is not getting the ball and he's unhappy and he wants to leave because Hurts can't get him the ball on schedule consistently... Hurts has struggled at that since college Showing that even the Super bowl champions can have a wide receiver unhappy.. and a quarterback who is very scheme dependent Brady needs to be more Josh Allen friendly

I mean I don’t disagree, I just think it doesn’t happen. The organization feels very stale and complacent.

He wasn't that good this past week, but it got pretty overlooked because they pulled off a win against a legit team. Seems to rely on the long ball quite a bit - he definitely has a good one, but it seems like that's something DC's can adjust to over time. It's hard to tell if he'll have an upward trajectory or if this was just a great stretch.

I don't disagree but both things can be true. We are seeing an offense that when it's firing on all cylinders is a defensive coaches wet dream. McD's prints are all over the transition that started last season. And there has been a deliberate decision to not add the personnel required to run a more fluid and potent passing game. It's possible that the kinks will get worked out over the next couple of games and the Bills will go on a run. The potential of this offensive approach is apparent and it seems to be modeled after the Eagles. The issue is that the Eagles have a defense that can win a 10 - 7 game on the road, Buffalo does not. And the Eagles have 2 very good WR's that can make a team pay a price for loading up the box. Both Eagle WR's are significantly better then the best Bills WR.

While we've all at least entertained the too old/too small accusations, I think it might be more nuanced, and more connected to philosophy and game-planning. As McDermott has had longer to fully install his vision for how to win consistently in the NFL, it seems the offense has become more and more devoted to staying on schedule, remaining two-dimensional on 3rd downs, and controlling possession. Looks to me like my favorite coaches choose instead to SCORE POINTS on offense above all else. The potential issue with McD's deliberate, paced approach, is that it will likely keep "inferior" opponents within reach on the scoreboard for longer, resulting in more opportunities for the opposing offenses to "remain two-dimensional" and play their own brand of physical, but unpredictable, football. This means more snaps when the Bills defense is getting dictated to, and run at, and hit. If you're intentionally reducing possessions, then you're also intentionally reducing points, right? The Bills looked a lot better against the Dolphins once they got desperate/urgent. Why wouldn't you start the game with that kind of aggression, try to score a million points, and continue to mix in more and more run and ball control as the game script allows? Let the defense play with a dang LEAD once in a awhile. Lessen their burden. Keep them FRESH.

3 main questions for free agent wr. 1. can you block? 2. can you run routes as a decoy? 3. can you block?

Alt 22 screenshots and film review pundits are not exactly the best way to try to figure out the problems with the passing attack this season. And at the risk of being called an Allen apologist he is not the problem here either. In fact Allen is having a very good year statistically and projects out to having 4700 total yards, 42 TD's and only 13 TO's for this season. The issue is the herky jerky, uneven nature of the offense. Like you say there is a lack of synchronicity. if you're right the most likely culprit is the offensive design & play calling. After all we saw the Bills try a play action pass on 4th & 1 only to have it spoiled by a Miami TO at the snap. Clearly McDaniel saw something in the Bills personnel that tipped him off. Yet on the very next play Brady again called for a pass. Think about that and tell me it doesn't reveal some serious issues in the play calling tactics. And you answer the question in your last paragraph. With a bottom tier WR group there is no way you're going to have a great passing attack.

Or Brady is operating within the restrictions based on the personnel of the Buffalo Bills We tried being a heavy Air attack with Dorsey.. the offense was bogged down and diggs did not look the same as in the past So they structured everything around this run first offense... But in that transition they've lost a bunch of fluidity in the pass game It's a massive difference to structure the pass game around a spread 3-4 wide receiver personnel.. and a two tight end system under center You have to make do with what you have on the season... Brady needs to watch film on how teams stretch the field on two three tight end personnel That would open up every part of our offense if he could get our tight ends running down the seams We obviously don't have the spread personnel LSU had in Joe burrows Heisman season ... But he should be able to bring some of those concepts to the bills

IMO the only logical explanation is that Brady is operating within the restrictions demanded of the offense by McD. I'm a big college football fan and that LSU passing attack was aggressive and stretched the field.

sometimes its like they think they can just get away with stuff...like past history doesnt apply to them...blind hope or ignorance im not sure which.

In the bottom left corner, it should read: "Start to BILLieve Again" just sayin I don't make the corny social media rules You got that right. Something is obviously missing in the passing game. While film review pundits and all-22 screenshots suggest guys are often open (I wonder how proportionately true that is against Man coverages) and Josh just isn't hitting his underneath stuff in rhythm, there has to be factors (beyond Allen) contributing to this lack of synchronicity. Whether it's oppo scouting and what the coaches are expecting out of the defense each week, therefore resulting in Allen reading the wrong keys pre-snap and making the wrong adjustments, or the progressions post-snap are ordered/prioritized incorrectly in relation to what the defense is taking away, which causes Allen not to trust what he's seeing, or he's not prepared to read pressures accurately in conjunction with his OL and slide protections effectively, etc etc etc. I keep wondering if the offensive staff overall, minus Kromer, is better than their counterparts each week. Obviously, most of us understand the WR group is objectively bottom tier. That puts even greater pressure on everyone else to perform optimally. I don't think Brady and his battery of passing coaches are up to that challenge. Kromer and Boras seem like they've got the inline blocking schemes optimized more often than not. Even in spite of play-calling predictability and on-field/pre-snap tells.

Dang, how does our scout team know all of that pre draft and then pound the table to take him in the 3rd. These are huge reaches/misses by Beane that has significantly contributed to the roster deficiencies. It’s why we have major issues at WR and S.

Klint Kubiak is the guy if it really does go down. It's hard not to like a young guys, who has done what we had, and has the family tree of learning this game. Saleh would also be one of the few guys where I don't think we have to totally rebuild on defense. That combination would be nasty.

I'm still not sold on Drake Maye. He's due for a few stinkers later this season.

I’d add the playoff loss to Houston as well. Another game where the D choked. The regular season loss to New Orleans where they ran it down our throats. See a pattern developing. I’d also add losing to NE in the wind game, where McDermott was too afraid to throw the ball but let Mac FN Jones beat you with a pass.

One job to do. Oh sure... Incompetent white guy - totally @sherpa's type.

You don't want to embarrass Beane and McD on their top pick do you?

Birds of a feather flock together

Upsetting Big East DePaul is huge Great win for the bulls Can't even bet New York college schools being a resident unless I use a offshore bookie or non-regulated bookie Payouts on this game would have been huge
