  1. And the spirited discussion continues before we even make 7am on the East Coast.

     

    I agree with the statements above reference passion, or the lack of it.  Sometimes you can’t get traction without friction.  The leaders on this team need to step up and lead us out of this.  
     

    Lastly, I completely disagree with the sentiment that we need to fire coaches in season.  Nothing good would come of that.  My thought is that the NFL is a pendulum and that it swings back and forth on the style of play and specific schemes that are in vogue.  Personally, I think the game is beginning to swing back towards a balanced offensive approach as many defenses have moved to lighter pass rushers and LBers to defend the pass.  There are not a lot of thumpers left in the league due to their vulnerability in the pass game.  The league is changing and we need to as well….just not as quick as many would like.

  2. It’s interesting to me that Urban called our offense a spread offense in his pressers before the game.  If you had one guy that absolutely understands how to stop a spread offense it’s Urban.  I really think we are struggling to find an offensive identity right now. We don’t know what we are week to week and we have nothing to hang our hat on besides Josh Allen.  No scheme, no formation, no patented signature play or concept.  It’s troubling.

    You mean the same Baltimore that’s getting destroyed at home by Minn or the same Dallas that’s losing at home to that powerhouse Denver?

    Watching Minny/Baltimore.  Vikings came to play!  Defense has looked good.

     

    Ref Denver....I think their starting QB is out with COVID too.....that says a lot about the 'Boys.

  4. We don’t run a sexy, blitzing scheme that generates sacks and negative plays.  For the most part, we stay conservative, keep everything in front of us, and try to force teams to throw short of the sticks.  We expertly disguise and run a mix of zone coverages and sprinkle in man based on matchups.  
     

    We still don’t dominate offensive lines with our front four, no matter the combination or platooned fresh legs.  I don’t trust our ability to generate pressure on a 3rd and long without calling a blitz.  I also don’t trust our tackling at times.  It annoys me when the concept works and we let the guy break a tackle and they get a first down.  
     

    I think there is some merit to the observation that we are saving some things for the playoffs.  
     

    Additionally, I feel like Edmunds is getting better this year.  I watched him closely at the Dolphins game yesterday and he brought the wood on a number of tackles.

    Hope you take this advice in good faith - It's awesome to care about the Bills.  I care too.  Sundays at 1:00 in the Autumn are amazing.  But if the most important thing in your life is something that you have no control over, pick something else that you have control over.

    Sage advice!

  6. “When he was the Patriots quarterback, Brady used to call the Alabama quarterback room in 2017 to offer advice. Brian Daboll was Alabama’s offensive coordinator at the time, and he was installing the Patriots’ system after working with Brady in New England for two stints and 11 total seasons.

    Daboll orchestrated calls with Brady to provide tips with the offense. Though Brady spent more time on the phone with starter Jalen Hurts, Daboll wanted Jones and Tua Tagovailoa in on the conversations as well. Daboll also set up Alabama’s tight ends with Rob Gronkowski for similar reasons.”

    Article was written as a setup for this weekend’s game between TB and Pats.  Says a lot about Daboll’s connections and mastery of the EP offense.
