I’m sure Ingram will eventually be waived / cut and back on the Bills. Hopefully it will be before next season, but I doubt it.

So are the current Bills.

34-31

Worse than the 2000 Buffalo Bills? Football outsiders had them as the worst of the DVOA era through 2010. https://web.archive.org/web/20110711020031/http://www.footballoutsiders.com/dvoa-ratings/2011/final-2010-dvoa-ratings

Now that the last remnant of the pass rush is injured, they’re really going to have to cover them up.

Well he lasted longer than I thought he would this season.

Shavers led all receivers in reps. Shows you the relative importance of blocking vs receiving skill in this offense.

The Bills have systematically eliminated the downfield passing game over the past 2 seasons. Not sure why. I understand that McDermott wanted a more conservative offense after Daboll / Dorsey, but this predictable and one dimensional attack can’t be what he had in mind.

They have a clear identity. Power running, ball control offense with limited big play potential. It’s just not an identity that most people on TBD like.

It’s the only play where they try to get him the ball.

#4

Don’t worry. Shaq Lawson is back.

And people complain about the Bills offense. I can only imagine what they’re saying in Pittsburgh about the Steelers.

If they’re relying on Hawes then Brady really does need to be fired. Cooks and Shakir need to be the focus of the offense. Palmer is out right?

This would be a good game to try and throw something to Shakir besides bubble screens.

This is my opinion as well. Honestly, based on what’s happened with the Sabres, I’m kind of scared for him to touch the Bills coach/GM too.

It would be a better win than “solid”, IMO. Will need to show a lot of versatility and resourcefulness that few of us think they have.

Moore and Palmer are mediocre, no doubt. Otherwise they wouldn’t have been available. But I’m starting to think that this team could sign Jamar Chase and he would average 2 receptions for 10 yards.

They have a lot of options. They will be able to create pressure with 4, but likely they will also be able to lockup the WRs 1v1.

I’m not saying you’re wrong, but the passing game was decent last season so I’m not sure what happened.

The problem with this approach is that when the Bills kept a 6th and 7th man in Houston just rushed 1 or two more players, they didn’t drop them into coverage. There was no need because the coverage was already lights out. Houston got sacks when the Bills had 7 man protections in this game, like when trying play action.

I understand people not liking Brady’s offense. I think it’s too skewed towards the run/short passing game myself- especially when you have a guy like Josh Allen at QB. But in terms of play calling on Thursday, good luck finding plays that work when your offensive line is getting smoked the way they were. Maybe he could have called a few things differently but they did get like 350 yards of offense on the road, vs the #1 defense in the NFL.

I won’t pretend to understand the salary cap situation, so all this may be impossible, but here is my week one list: Offense Trade Coleman. Gabe is a better version. Trade Torrence. Not worth an extension. Resign McGovern, Edwards, Trubisky, Anderson, Gilliam. Release Moore. Draft 2 WRs. Speed is a priority. Defense Trade Bernard. Release Bosa, Ogunjobi, White, Epenesa, Milano, Rapp. Resign Thompson, Hamlin, Lewis. FA run stopping DT/NT. Top FA priority. Draft MLB. #1 pick.

This year’s shaping up to be a wash, so it is what it is.

Actually moved the ball ok given that the WRs were always covered and there was constant pressure on the QB. If the worthless special teams had helped them with some better drive starts then they would definitely have had more points. I know they had the TD return, but other that that it was a nightmare of bad decisions, penalties, and errors. It seemed like the Bills started every drive at their own 10 while the Texans were near midfield.
