If we didn’t use the timeouts it puts more pressure to move quicker. The way they were moving it didn’t look like they even had enough time to get to the endzone and settling for a FG would have been a bonus. Oddly enough the clock was stopped 5 times and they still barely got there. You can’t say McDs timeouts didn’t help them. We just missed a FG, we didn’t punt and had 3 long drives and were up 14-7, holding them to a FG would have been better and going in half the lead makes more sense. You’re getting the ball back and have a chance to go back up two scores. If you don’t stop them it is what it is, coming out forcing the ball downfield looking for points in a tie game is unlikely to happen with McD. Against the Ravens we were down two scores and chasing points. Big difference

First, thank you for your service. we had a color coded system on how important it was. Of course everybody down to the a new hire figured out within a few days how that worked. So much for the red confidential one

Do The Bills Have A Passing Game Problem?
Maine-iac replied to BillsFan130's topic in The Stadium Wall
This might sound like I'm patronizing someone here but it's not what I'm trying to do. I was at the Miami game and what I couldn't understand is with Jack Jones and Douglas at corner how come we weren't going after them. I get it that Palmer and Coleman aren't everyone's cup of tea but they should be able to work those two CB's and especially if Miami goes single high to stop the running game. Truth is I think since we've gone to more of a take the profit type of passing game I think we just don't force things as much. I swear i saw open guys downfield at times. I think we could get the ball outside more if we needed to. I think we're not doing it because we don't need to. First throw at Coleman he probably has it but get's held so we get the yards from the PI penalty. They actually ran a slant to him and even with a lot of contact he made the catch. I just think at this point Allen's numbers are on point to be as good or better than last years (MVP numbers) so why would they change anything and force things outside? The Baltimore game is an example of having to force things outside and when they needed to they did. I'm hoping that the ability is there they're just putting it behind the "break in case of emergency" glass. -
Josh Allen would be in a tier by himself if he had 6 rushing TDs, 22 passing TDs, and 1 INT going into Week 8.

Do The Bills Have A Passing Game Problem?
BananaB replied to BillsFan130's topic in The Stadium Wall
From what I remember both were kind of a problem. Bills punted a fair amount but had a couple long drives and never cashed in on every turnover. Think they might of got 10 points off turnovers. Not their best showing. Despite the Ds turnovers they never forced a punt and must of gave up about 400 yards to the Ravens. They also gave up a 90 yard drive in the final 5 minutes that looked like a cake walk. And they got beat on the 2 pt conversion, lucky for them Ingram dropped the ball. -
Ray Davis - Unquestioned RB3

I understand it’s totally different circumstances from Karlos Williams (who ate himself out of the league) but after Williams’ rookie season I thought he might end up as an all time Bills’ great. Then, poof, he was done. Davis doesn’t look anywhere near as good as last year so I hope it’s just a sophomore slump. -

I agree with this. But if we're sitting him again, do we use up our 3rd and final call up (before the Playoff exemption) of Zion Logue or do we save that and give Phillips a call up this week? -

We out gained the Ravens I don't care if we went berserk with 4 minutes left after 60 minutes we had more yards -
Do The Bills Have A Passing Game Problem?
Richard Noggin replied to BillsFan130's topic in The Stadium Wall
Lots of good stuff in here. However, the section I emboldened and enlarged is really dissonant. "Cover zero" is not a way to "keep everything in front of you." AT ALL. So I agree that teams are throwing all kinds of aggressive defensive schemes at the Bills offense, including cover zero pressure packages that are the OPPOSITE, philosophically, of backing off and ensuring the offense operates underneath. Those 2-deep shells we started to see often a few years ago are still prevalent, but are by no means the primary way defenses play the Bills, and especially 6- and 7-man blitzes are not at all similar to those previous deep "shell" coverages designed to put a lid on deep passing attacks. Defenses are utilizing a variety of approaches, including ultra aggressive looks that leave one or zero deep zone defenders. The Bills/Allen have chosen thus far to NOT challenge these looks with passes over the top. I don't disagree that the Bills have some WRs who COULD get behind such aggressive defensive looks, to be fair. But for whatever reason, aggressive man coverage is effectively discouraging any on-time, deep/intermediate passing game. -

It's also not the philosophy I would choose. But it starts as @Kirby Jackson has laid out with talent acquisition. Because to be the more expansive, downfield passing version of the Bills you are going to need more explosiveness outside. That isn't Mack Hollins, or Keon Coleman or even for all of his skills Khalil Shakir, or by drafting a pass catching tight end in round one like Dalton Kincaid. Even Josh Palmer I said when we signed him is like the mininum standard attempt at doing it. He was like acceptable baseline. With the current talent mix on this roster they are playing the right kind of offense and they are staying aggressive enough within that system that with Josh's skillset it is allowing them to score 30 per game. Which is no mean feat. But if I was building this roster I'd have put a higher priority on getting explosive pass catchers. I wanted to draft Christian Watson. I wanted to trade up for Jordan Addison. I wanted to trade up for Brian Thomas Jnr. What I did not want our offensive draft capital spent on was a tight end and a non-separating big body receiver. But that is what we got. -

The positive of Palmer here is erased by confirmation that Keon Coleman is still trying to find a way to separate from a lamppost. -
Sounds like a classic Beane class. The Bills are one of the best day 3 drafting teams in football which as I jave said before is testament to their road scouts. Because day 3 is where you get to guys that the GM and Assistant GM have probably watched relatively little of. The scout evaluations count for much more.

Yea agree if there is any doubt give him one more week. Get him 100% for New England who will try and test the centre of our line. -
You are not in power if the Fins have already run the clock out. You walk off the field at HT with 3 timeouts in your pocket. As it happened you used them and the Fins still ran the clock out but make no mistake the plan for the Fins on that drive was score (TD or FG) AND leave no time. The only way the Bills could stop that was stop the clock and make a play on defense. The play on defense was the bit that let them down. Not the clock management.

If Ed is good to go for the Saints game, I would still let him rest and let the rookies get their reps. We SHOULD be able to win that one without him.
