Would you want to see Josh play hardball with the organization?
GunnerBill replied to Another Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall
I don't disagree with any of that. But a change of scheme again risks that again (and I don't think we have the core prime age personnel we had in that period). We were horrible under Wandstadt though. And year 1 of Rex was horrible too. Year 2 they improved but not enough. -
Hire Ryan Fitzpatrick as a part time consultant

This thread is as good as the "Would you want to see Josh play hardball with the organization?" thread. Silly times are afoot. -

It's been more the fact that Hawes is a beast blocker. Yes, he's been good enough to take that spot. It also gives the Bills some versitality as he can still run a route as a receiver with some credibility where Anderson in let's the defense know it's a much higher percentage that it will be a run play.

What happened to the 6 OL package that the Bills used to such fanfare last year? Has Alec Andersen been hurt? Has Jackson Hawes surpassed him with the TE pass-catching added advantage? I thought that package gave us a tougher attitude. Imposing our will on other teams. Yet I don't think I've seen it once in recent weeks. Hawes has been good, but has he been that good to eliminate the package entirely?

Hire Ryan Fitzpatrick as a part time consultant

It’s the bye after two losses and many have lost their minds temporarily. We definitely have problems. I’ll wait and see what happens in Carolina and after. Besides i can’t take the incredible negativity. -
Lmao he probably got the info from Mr Scoops it’s like a game of telephone. According to Joe Marino, says he’s watched the NFL film & he says receivers are getting open and Josh isn’t seeing or checking down. Also he pointed out that continuing to force the ball into Coleman on these sideline 50 50 balls isn’t that great either because sometimes Josh is committing to it instead of making the read. I do think Brady has been part of the problem the past two games to honest. The game plan to open the half in the last 2 seemed off from how we started the season.

There are a ton of problems with the team right now, but adding a WR is probably the easiest fix. Yes. The defense will remain a problem. But that side of the ball probably requires 1-2 new linebackers, an outside corner and two safeties... and possibly an entire scheme change. That kind of overhaul requires 1-2 offseasons. Not a bye week. Most of the offensive problems seem to stem from our inability for WRs to separate from man coverage. Everything else is spiraling away from that central issue. So adding a legit #1 could repair that hole. Then even if the defense stinks, you still have a chance to outscore the other team. The question is whether Beane is willing to part with a decent draft-pick, and commit future cap space to adding a really good player.

OMG.

I know you're joking, but McDermott would have another NFL job about 5 minutes after he cleaned out his OBD office. The Raiders, Jets, Dolphins, Browns, and Panthers would be ringing non-stop, begging him to take the job.

He’s transitioning… Going Full Flanders. He’s actually got a consultation at Bosley next week.

Who is the Bills' "Third Down Back"?
LABILLBACKER replied to Dan Darragh's topic in The Stadium Wall
Somebody needs to sit down with Brady and explain to him that this team has only 2 elite players. And they're both on offense. I don't even care anymore if Jimbo struggles some in pass blocking. Make him a 3 down RB and start diversifying his play tree. Right now Ty Johnson, Davis and Gilliam are worthless within the structure of our offense. -
Brady is a middle of the ground pedestrian and mediocre offensive coordinator, a generally poor play caller and even worse at scheming wide receivers open or designing solid creative plays that are actually creative and effective. When they run, it's obvious... there's a running back in the backfield... when they pass, there's nobody in the backfield and then the play becomes obvious to the defense. This has been a constant. All the run plays are generally just right up the middle into the heart of the defensive line of the other team, he is clueless about scheming people open or creating effective: keyword "effective" solid creative plays. The cute stuff is stupidly designed and not creative or effective at all. He just comes up with an idiotic designed play that most of the time fails and is called at the wrong time. IMHO, that's really not being creative, that means that you really have no idea how to create effective plays that work and know what to call and when to call it. They can't even execute some of those stupid plays correctly. Why isn't he using some or all of our running backs who can all catch well out of the backfield on 3rd Downs when they're rushing so Josh has a quick outlet to Cook, Ty or Davis, they are all are good pass catchers. That's just one thing that they should be doing more of, but there's a laundry list. As far as the defense, I don't think they'll ever get it straightened out with McDermott. They need a real good defensive coordinator or at least have McDermott call the plays again, which may not be a great improvement...lol, but certainly better than Babich. If you look at the receivers on most any other team, when the quarterback throws to them, they're wide open constantly against our defense. A lot of it has to do with having solid designed plays and or scheming the wide receivers open and also having wide receivers that can actually separate! Furthermore, it's also because of McDermott's stupid constant soft zone and nickel defense that he stubbornly never changes. Any of the backs or people in the backfield are like 10 yds plus away from the receivers when they catch the ball. They're generally wide open. Plus, all the bad drafting by Beane and the piss poor scouting department that can't judge talent over many years, bad free agent acquisitions, bloated contracts, overpaid mediocre players, not knowing when to let somebody go and not knowing when to keep people and of course, McDermott's perpetual life cycle of poorly prepared defenses and horrible play calling, especially in the biggest moments. All this is catching up to the whole organization and where we're at currently. I think most people are tired of this stagnation year after year, which amounts to never getting to the promised land. Not sure either of them are the right people to get the Bill's to a super bowl and actually win it. Also, they've wasted so many peak years of Josh Allen's career by the constant incompetence in many facets. And yes, that means rarely ever having top quality weapons and especially top quality wide receivers acquired or drafted for Josh to utilize that can actually get open. I'm just still pissed off when I think about the whole mess and the way they always lose and lose at the most inopportune times or in the games they really need to play well and win. The end result is always the same, never getting over the hump. All right rant off!

He’s managed to outdo the dimness of Tiberius, the toxicity of Billstime and Roundy, and the drunkenness of your fellow Virginian. Nobody could’ve seen it coming.

McDefense wasn’t a beast with Clappy McFlanders calling the plays, but don’t get it twisted, it was miles ahead of the 💩 Babich has been putting on the field these last two years. Is some of that personnel based? i.e McFlanders having Hyde and Po instead of dog 💩 in cleats roaming the secondary IS a huge difference- Sure, but I don’t think it excuses things like giving up 100 points in two weeks last year, or not being able to stop an anemic Chiefs offense in the AFC Title game, or the train wreck that’s been unfolding before our eyes for the past 6 weeks. McFlanders McDefense won’t be scaring anybody, but it might be borderline respectable with him actually calling the defense, with a lot more bending than the outright breaking we’ve witnessed under Babich.
