Yup. McCarthy has not updated his scheme since 2005 while other WCO coordinators, like Reid, are constantly evolving theirs.

Agreed. Josh Allen at this point, isn’t good enough to take over a game. He needs the help from a supporting cast. Like what the Rams did for Goff. Load up on offensive talent, while Allen is on a cheap deal.

I know people keep throwing out Mike Evans name and don't get me wrong, he would be an amazing pick up if they could get him but the Bucs aren't giving him up. Bruce Arians isn't in Tampa Bay for a rebuild. He's a cornerstone of that franchise at the moment. And even though Jameis is playing bad, take a look at Carson Palmers first half of his first season with Arians, it was VERY similar to Jameis. I'm just not seeing Arians giving up that piece EVEN IF they decide to go a new QB route.

That would knock down Jackson a bit too. While he has preformed well at the position, using his legs, since the start of the season his passer rating is on a steady decline. When defenses adjust to his run and take away his outlet TEs, we will see what happens. The Seattle win is nice but he did have the help of 2 pick 6's and I think his real challenges will come with BB/Pats after the bye. He has some tough defenses in the second half of the season: Patriots, Texans, Rams, Bills and 49ers. So while he may be the media darling at this point, the second half of the season will tell the tale.

This thread is comedy gold

Agreed. His route running leaves a lot to be desired as well. I watched a lot of the Seattle/Baltimore game and his change in direction is very telegraphed. It makes it easy for CBs to cover him.

For me, it's not so much Allen having "that game", although I'd like to see that too, as it is the offense as a whole having "that game". To my eyes the offensive execution, at various points in each game, has been awful. Whether it's the presnap penalties or the drops or players just not doing their jobs, they seem to struggle to get going. Sometimes it's at the start of the game and sometimes it's in the 3rd quarter. The playing calling has actually been pretty good outside a couple of drives. Can the offense as a whole, take over a game and put the team on it's back? We know they can come back but it would be nice to seem them dominate from the get go.

Oh I agree, just meant that’s part of taking over a game, finishing. Anyways, BILLS WIN! And I thought Allen had a very good second half.

Meh. Drives stalling and not executing on offense is not taking over a game. It’s not a good looking drive if they are settling for FGs. And even after the 98 yard drive, they had a 4 and out next possession. It took a Tre White strip fumble to seal it. They needed to come out and smack the shiz out of the Dolphins and put the game out of reach. They never really did that and until they do it will be up to the defense.

B- A tale of two half’s. I know people will point to the defense rolling over but that’s going to happen. The offense and Josh need to, they still haven’t, show they can take over a game.

DK Metcalf aka stone hands

DK Metcalf doing great things WHERES JOE?!?

Says the guy making an excuse. Pot meet kettle. You are so off your game today.

They deserve the boos, they have been awful.

It’s funny, because he’s admitting that the Bills offense NEED the defense to win games. Meaning it’s not a good offensive unit... but yea it’s Oliver’s fault.

Yea but it’s Oliver’s fault the Bills are losing... don’t ya know. Why should we expect the offense to go out and actually dominate a team?

This defense let the hype get to them

Um, Miami never scored against New England

Wow the defense looks like they are still on the bye

That 19% win rate isn't specific to double teams, it's both single and double. It's his win rate within 2.5s of snap on pass plays whether double or single. Still 19% win rate in comparison to his peers is very, very good. Donald obviously get's doubled the most and has the highest win rate.

Yea I don't think Evans is going anywhere, it's not Arians style. He'd rather identify what's not working and work from there. Also, while people think Winston doesn't have it... take a look at Carson Palmers first half of his first season with Arians and where he ended the year. It looks VERY similar to Winston. Now, I'm not saying Winston = Palmer but it could be Arians is willing to wait til the end of the season. This is a tough one because I think if a trade is going to happen it should be for an offensive position. The problem with trading for a WR is the draft next year could be a phenomenal WR class. You'd be getting a cheap WR with star potential. So I think it needs to be along the OL, I like the Williams idea and I'm wondering if at this point a 2nd 2020 and a 2nd in 2021 gets him away from Washington. Or something like that.

Yea but DK Metcalf is 3rd in interior pressures, so...

Oh yea you take Allen over him now because the final picture of Allen isn't clear, yet. I kind of think the final picture of Mariota isn't either, he has had some god awful coaching and coordinators. He's definitely regressed under the Meat Head. I think he could still be a starting QB in the league.

I'm always confused when fans put down other QBs to prop up the Bills. Josh Allen will be judged on his abilities and his alone, not what his peers are doing. Marcus Mariota appearing to be bad doesn't make Josh Allen look better or make the Bills brain trust look better.

That Eagles secondary is baaaaaad
