EmotionallyUnstable

I would agree. I would also state we cannot absolve the players of any wrong doing. What we saw tonight was in large part what we’ve seen for weeks. The difference is that a few bounce here and there fell our way. We weren’t exactly world beaters on offense, but got the job done. Again, just my opinion, but when Allen doesn’t drop the ball (he did, we fell on it) and our WRs don’t tip it to the other team (Shakir did, they missed it), we don’t play with awful field position (Cook fumble last week vs Gilliam FF this week)…it looks like an entirely different team. Run game was essentially the same scheme as we’ve seen. Diggs was for most part a non-factor and Kincaid had a decent half. Gabe Davis still posting goose eggs. I am thrilled with the beat down, but I caution everyone who is claiming new world order as if erasing Dorsey eliminated every issue that’s plagued this offense. Cautiously optimistic!

You can argue that the order of the plays were different, but they essentially ran the same offense they always do. They difference from this week to the next was the execution.

When Allen executes, and the run game clicks, we are a force. I don’t care much who is calling plays.

Yes I’m always hungry and figured it was genetic

Jim Leonard Wrong. Please discard!

49ers

I don’t think there were any, which is why you haven’t seen anything.

Aaron Donald

Garbage time TD to chase….guy has 1 catch all game and you HAD to score down a million with under 2:00… Fantasy football is annoying!

One more bone to pick with the offense, wondering if someone had thoughts and if we might see it change: Allen rarely carries out any play fake post gun handoffs. I feel like with Allen’s ability to run the ball and his willingness to throw the ball in RPOs, he should always be carrying though with some action. Seems like a missed opportunity to set up something later and/or potentially slow a defender even if for just a step. Strikes me as lazy from either Allen or a coaching flaw. PS why are we ever in pistol??

- presnap formations, reads, philosophy and purposes behind them when we line up in specific personnel or formations, what advantages those particular looks might be trying to gain, what Allen and company might be looking for when they come out in a certain look…for example, Bills come out with their 6 OL look. What advantages might they be looking at exploiting? What might the OC or QB be looking at that makes them want this look, or getting them into a certain play within that personnel grouping. These I imagine are very match up specificZ - route concepts vs specific coverages we see I have enjoyed reading your breakdowns of the deep choice and other concepts (split field, 2 man concepts, RPO) and what we are trying to read or take advantage of. More of that would be appreciated - run schemes What defensive alignments might be enticing the bills to not run as much as I believe they should be vs the looks they’re getting. How are those previously mentioned formations affecting what were doing? One thing I noticed Dorsey do a lot is motion gabe into the IOL and have him block. What are they trying to accomplish here, muddy the waters? Defensively - coverages and how specific drops/alignments/techniques are tells I love trying to decipher coverages presnap. I know it’s very difficult from the broadcast angle. Often I’ll look to leverages DBs are using (ex. CB on #1 playing outside leverage think C2) tips and tells like that, or techniques post snap (like the man 7 info you shared) and how to better get an idea of what coverages teams are trying to play - pressure packages/blitz concepts…specifically how they relate to coverages I think this one is more so match up specific. What games (ex. TEX) might McD look to exploit vs a specific team/QB/OL? What do those particular rushes or blitzes attempt to do and why might they want to utilize them (overloads, simulated pressures, cover 0, etc) - pash rushing techniques from the interior I love watching the big uglies on the snap. It often is my focus post snap. What are some of the better techniques you see from successful rushes within our our scheme? It seems like guys have the most success jumping gaps, swim moves, etc but also leads to issues with lane integrity. How can we know if these are predetermined slants or rushes, or are guys going a bit rouge? - specific strengths of our personnel What would you say is a strength of a particular player (ex Ed does best playing 3T with a 1 gap responsibility) How might these strengths effect what we want to do, or are conversely limited to do, on defense? I don’t anticipate answers to these specifics. They’re just some of the things that I watch or wonder that if like to know more about. I appreciate your willingness to share your knowledge and explain terminology, concepts, schemes, etc.

Are these related

I wouldn’t classify conceding and quitting on a season as a sophisticated concept. Speaking of which, is this concept even viable when you have a franchise QB? How high of a pick could they get vs what they will end up with if they play? It’s a defeatist attitude for something that isn’t even a guarantee to provide you with better future results. I want them to play and win, because it’s fun and entertaining. I want to see lots of these players succeed and do well. If you want to rush away the season and forfeit, just try franchise mode on madden.

BengLs offense: throws to back runs 12 personnel runs up the gut

Amazing how average offenses look when you no longer have 2 WR1s

Hmmmm…. Recently found yourself with a lot more time on your hands, Ke— Hoof? I kid, I kid. Really, I love the idea of this thread. I appreciate being able to talk X’s and O’s Of the game. I like to think that I know a decent amount about the game but am always reminded that my perspective is tiny compared to some. Nothing specific comes to mind yet, but here are some general ideas that I would love to know more about: Topics of interest offensively: - presnap formations, reads, philosophy and purposes behind them - route concepts vs specific coverages we see - run schemes - Defensively - coverages and how specific drops/alignments/techniques are tells - pressure packages/blitz concepts…specifically how they relate to coverages - pash rushing techniques from the interior - specific strengths of our personnel

All the “let’s just lose” people are ridiculous. Go Bills.

My question was (and I haven’t rewatched so my memory could be hazy…thanks blue light) …why in this scenario when we are sending pressure on 3&10 just narrowly out of FG range…are we taking a flat foot read from 5 yards off the ball. Why not press tighter to the LOS?

Lmfao at the people who are mad at the defense…. So many other reasons to want McD gone if you like that take but the defense is the low hanging fruit. Do better!

They were essentially coming off a timeout post- 2nd down…and should haven’t entirely anticipated the quick change for the 4th down kick after the kneel. No excuses. Own up McD

McD needs to own the blame. He should 100% fall for this… but let’s call a spade a spade: they effed up big time. Players a need to execute. Allen most of all. He ain’t going anywhere. The bone headed plays need to stop. It’s terrifying week after week how many give aways they’re coughing up

yea but also, he ain’t wrong. It ultimately falls on him though

Awful, embarassing finish. Shout out to the defense. If anyone tries to blame this one on them, they can shove it. McD Allen Offense Special teams GROSS!

How so? Seems like an excuse for an obvious misfire. 1&10, end of half, in our own field, just can’t happen.

This Broncos team has their ***** together way more than our Bills. Ashamed
