Its a regular season game vs a 6-5 non conference opponent. I agree it's a huge game but having a ton of people show up to the airport would be embarrassing.
Showing up for your team would be embarrassing? You care what other people think? Because this team doesn’t, at all.
i get the context you’re insinuating, but you can be embarrassed - this was a big deal.

Alright - never mind. I stand corrected - it’s Hauschka. Need those four points guy, come on.

Forget Hauschka, ball on their 30 and we don’t gain a single yard? Mmkay.

Seems like we can’t adjust to the pre-snap motion on defense - it’s setting up their entire offensive game plan and we’re slow to match-up/read the play as a result. For supposed coaches that can’t scheme worth a damn, they did their homework on our defense pretty well. Stark contrast to when they don’t run pre-snap motion.

What was the reason they didn't want to do Friday games? High school football and TV ratings?
It's only a day, but I feel like Friday night games would be a more reasonable short week for the players. TNF is only for the money anyway, so it stands to reason Friday night likely wouldn't yield the same ROI as Thursday. But I honestly can't imagine how much less/more lucrative it'd be on either day.

Really hope he's good to go - especially against this DL. It'd be a test for our OL even when fully healthy and rested, much less without Morse.

Rull interested to see how he matches up this week with covering Zeke out of the backfield on screens and checkdowns to the flats. Not an open field tackle match-up that anyone wants to see, but given how a resurgent Taron has been playing, I think he is the key piece in handling Zeke out of the backfield on screens/flat coverage and delayed short routes.
That and I wonder how our rather newly implemented run blitzes and stunts fair against this OL - these to me are the two big pieces to the match-up game on a short week. This game will likely go the way of whoever can dominate the LOS on a shortened week - fortunately, our Def played a lot less on Sunday than Dallas' had to.

If he can be an average RT that would be huge for the off-season. If RT is not a position of need they can focus on DE, OLB, and WR.
Those would be my top three, too. I wouldn’t hate adding an OG if it’s there - Long did well today, but he’s a role we could easily upgrade for the future. That and I hope Bates develops to take over a backup Tackle role if/when Nsekhe retires.
I’m not holding my breath, but I would also love to see Shaq finish out this season strong and make a statement for pushing DE opposite Hughes over Murphy - if he can manage that, with Harry returning we may see a more well-establish front DL. Wouldn’t have to prioritize DE as much, but again, not holding my breath.

I tell you what was fine.... the way Feliciano played. Now I get it, we paid big money for Morse so he starts... but Feliciano gives us something extra at that spot.
39 minutes ago, Mark Vader said:Are you suggesting a change at Center?
Not so much a change as it would be potential move in the future - if Morse, god forbid, goes down at all for any reason having Feliciano as a back up there is a great problem to have in a manner of speaking.
What I’d also like to see is a potential draft investment in an OG/OT to upgrade Long’s role. He did fine today, but would be curious about pushing Ford inside and Bates at Tackle, or getting the draft pick at either position to help us out long term. Fwiw, Ford’s matchup today gave us plenty to worry about, and the kid handled it like a pro. Would love to see him anchor the right side in the near future, and with added OG depth I dare say we’ve built ourselves a front line.

Can't recall this being posted elsewhere, but Cover1's take on the development here provides interesting context to this conversation:
It's worth the read in full, but it seems it still relates to what McVay has been doing, but not necessarily via the headset chatter. To quote the article's concluding summary:
QuoteWhile this game was not against a premier defense, I think the staff has found a recipe for success: limited personnel groupings, but specifically, heavy use of 11 personnel with Brown, Beasley, McKenzie, Knox, and Singletary. This grouping puts speed on the field to stress man or zone defenses, while still having McKenzie on the field to run jet sweeps and swing screens. Using that grouping in the trips set I outlined earlier also makes it easier to detect how the defense is going to defend the plays called, which of course makes in-game adjustments that much easier for the staff and for Allen, as described by Brown on the 40-yard touchdown. Using one primary group can also allow the offense to use tempo at any given moment, which forces the defense to have checks and audibles in place. If they don’t, and the opponent plays vanilla coverage like the Dolphins did, Allen can then slice and dice the defense. The other key ingredient was RPOs. These quick-read types of plays were easy completions for Allen, and the answers he needed to get the Bills their seventh win.

We have to patient with the kid.
Being an NFL QB is about the hardest thing to do in professional sports.
He is coming along though.
Maybe the light has come on for him and he now is ready to jump up into the elite, but we shouldn't be all over him if he doesn't.
Remember. he has only one reliable weapon (which is a step up from his rookie year), a good OL now (another step up from his rookie year), and there is STILL a bit a transition with NINE new starters on offense.
Patience people, patience.
We really need to pin that to the top of the forum board - at least until next season - simple title, "KEEP THIS ALL IN CONTEXT: [...]"
Regardless of schedule, sophomore QB showing marked progress and improvement in an offense returning three starters (Foster the fourth), which now only has two starters (Foster now third) from last year. Promising rookie RB. Brown and Beasley are great weapons, but first year in any offense is still a considerable adjustment for even the most veteran of starters. Expectations solidly set at 6-10, and having them happily exceeded every week (except for maybe the Browns game...still dirty)

Oh I hear you man, but If I was a DC right now playing the Bills I would take that gamble. Love the progression from Allen so far, but he is STILL allergic to hitting the deep ball. I guess he is bound to hit one sometime this season, but I would be willing to be the first DC to play it that way.
Unless it's a single score game in the 4th quarter, I'd do exactly this until he hits a deep throw. No reason not to, especially if you're Denver with no season left to salvage at this point.

Didn't Bates play some in a game this year & do ok ? Or did he fill in at guard ?
He came in during the Titans game and he held his own fine - the offensive drive that finished the game had back ups all along the right side of the line, including Bates, and was one of the few games this year where our offense put the game away late.
We have depth in Bates behind Ford, but doesn't hurt to do due diligence in finding further depth in case anyone else goes down. Even though he's also a rookie with little game experience, I wouldn't sleep on Bates as depth at the very least.
He apparently saw reps in the Washington game as well...would have to re-watch that one to see.

Wasn't it the Titans game we did very well with back-ups on the right side of the line when Feliciano went down, and both Nsekhe and Ford were out? I could be completely off, but I recall either that game or one other where Bates came in and held his own at RT, and enough so that we were able to finish the game off on an offensive drive - but he was in for each play. I think Ford swung inside to spell Feliciano actually, either that or Long came in and Bates/Ford rotated at RT...lawd I gotta look this up...
Needless to say, I'd rather we rotate Bates in with Ford if the rotation is really that necessary. But Sunday will be a test against this DL for sure.

Another "system QB" to look at, who's quite a bit different on the athletic pendulum of it all, is Nick Foles. Great in the RPO with Philly early in his career, wildly inconsistent everywhere else, returns to Philly under the same system, and lights it up on the way to a SB victory over the Pats after a Carson Wentz injury. He then looks like he is heading in the same direction again before being derailed by an Alshon Jeffrey drop.
[sorry in advance for the novel...
]
Foles is an interesting comparison to make, if only because his trajectory of success in the league seems flipped from that of Jackson. I was still in Philly when they had him heading up that offense before the other moves leading up to Wentzylvania, but he was in the same room with Vick and eventually Barkley in 2014. His success wasn't until the switch to Kelly in 2013, and while it involved the RPO with Shady I think the NFL overall was still adjusting to Kelly's new hurry-up scheme in the context of the league. Foles had some collegiate familiarity with similar systems so he was able to succeed in 2013 as a new QB in a new offense, but the next year all but spelled disaster for him including having Mark Sanchez perform better by the end of 2014. That all to say, I don't think his 2013 year success was due to him being an "RPO" system QB as much as it was the hurry-up and new look offense in the league with a solid roster. Not sure others thought that of him as well, others being the supposed media experts and league analysts. His pre-draft evaluation as I recall also wasn't boiled down to an RPO wonder/convert.
His stint with the Rams and Chiefs was interesting too, since he had issues with accuracy in LA, and barely played in KC since Smith was starting. But he also seemed a fish out of water with his passing game in LA. Didn't really follow him to either team, so can't speak to his development there, if any.
I was thrilled he came back to Philly though, and took them to the dance (especially against the Pats). More importantly he showed he could step in and handle a different offense than that of Kelly's RPO, more reason being that he isn't really what I'd think of as a "system" QB. I can't believe I'm saying this since I don't mean to discredit that win in the least, whatsoever, but that was also one of the weaker Pats teams in recent history - we made it to the playoffs that year with quasi-disciplined play in an unprecedented year of parity in the AFC. It was exceptional.
I want to see him see the same success in Jacksonville, if he'd only stay healthy enough to see if he's found his footing as a QB in the league. But I still don't know that I'd equate his career development to breaking out of a "system" QB mold.

Yes, but Vick also evolved later in his career with Philly and became more than just a running QB.
Right now I am beginning to believe Jackson can do the same. Not every QB is going to be Brady, Brees, or Rodgers, but they find their niche and turn out to be good starters in this league.
I mean, Vick saw three wildcards in Philly and lost them all - not saying he failed by any extent, his development certainly made the team competitive. But within this context you're right, there's no reason to say Jackson can't develop into a dominant QB. However, until he does so outside of the RPO system, he will always be a system QB. There's also nothing wrong with that either, W's talk at the end of the day - but let's not ahead of ourselves here by calling a system QB anything yet, much less a Brady/Brees/Rodgers. While I personally think he is better than this, there is a solid argument that can be made that he is the RPO equivalent of a "game manager" QB. It's just that the RPO "game manager" asks for an exceptional amount of athleticism, acceleration, and decision-making.
If he can play out his career under this one system, then absolutely he'll have found his niche and will be successful pending sustained roster talent and depth. But let's not crown Jackson independent of his roster, offensive scheme, OC, coaching staff, and defense just yet...let's give it more than a couple years, shall we?

The Bills staff would have never geared an offense around Lamars abilities and he would have been highly ineffective. Drafting Lamar would have been a bad decision on McBeans behalf.
Seriously, thank you. I love that Lamar is seeing success in the league. I love that he beat the Patriots. And he ensures for an entertaining afternoon of football week in and week out.
You would not have seen this had Jackson gone to any other team, and especially not here in Buffalo. In reference to OP's point:
3 hours ago, H2o said:He is surely not just another system product ala Kaepernick or Tyrod with Roman at the helm. He can do things on the field that we haven't seen in this league since Michael Vick in his early days with the Falcons and when he is on throwing the ball, he is on. Even on the days he may be off throwing the football he can still beat you with his legs like he did the Seahawks or the Patriots.
Until he proves he can win outside of Roman's RPO system, the same system with an NFL edge that his draft evaluation said was the only system he could possibly translate to the NFL, he IS a system quarterback. Also, as mentioned, we've seen this before with Vick - it only took a few years before teams began to neutralize him in defensive scheme planning, and is only a matter of time before Roman's system can no longer rely on roster depth and talent with Ingram and the OL.
This to say, there's nothing wrong with developing a system that perfectly matches to your QB's strengths and talents. But the success we're seeing now I'd attribute far more to the scheme than Jackson's inherent ability as a QB able to command in any offensive system. His entire passing game is predicated on the success of the RPO in Roman's system coupled with Ingram as a matched runner, and a stout OL. Today's defenses aren't exactly built with an RPO offense in mind either since the greater preference for pass heavy systems - but, few, including the Pats, haven't had to gameplan for such a scheme in such a way since Harbaugh/Roman/Kaep went to the SB under the same scheme and you see just how successful this is with Jackson's inherent skillset made for this system.
Like Allen's critics are for him, I'm still waiting for the game where Jackson doesn't have the RPO, and needs to prove his strength as a passer to win a game. The few times he was asked to do that this season resulted in their only losses.
We have a tendency, not just this board but as NFL fans including the media, to over-react/hype to a new QB seeing success in the league. None of this is to say that Jackson can't have 8 more seasons like this under Roman's guidance, but I don't know that the evidence is there yet to credit Jackson as that caliber of QB external of Roman's system. Until he can win without the RPO, he is, by definition, a system QB.

That's bold. I just don't see it. I need to see New England lose to someone else other than the Ravens first.
They just might drop one today, remains to be seen but this offense and defense has shown it's holes at times, even outside the Ravens game. It's been said a lot, but how NE finishes the season will say a lot about whether this is one of those Pats teams. If we can somehow pull one off against the Ravens that would be huge in any potential tiebreaker.
1 hour ago, Ethan in Portland said:I still like our chances at the division.
In relation to the above, it's certainly optimistic but I could easily see this happening - so long as we play three teams worth of consistent football. Special teams was super special today, twice egregiously. Offense improved but they still need to set that minimum consistency of expectation in order to go 4-2 the rest of the way. I'd like to see us get a W against both the Broncos and Dallas, that momentum will be a helluva ride to finish it off with the Pats, Steelers, and Jets.

So if the Bills put up 30+ points on Sunday and win by double digits will all of the gloom and doom around here cease? Or am I going to have to avoid this site like the plague for the remaining 7 weeks of the season?
It's pretty amazing to me how many fans are incapable of seeing a work-in-progress Bills squad that is likely to win 10 games and earn a playoff spot this season but WAS NEVER EXPECTED TO BE PERFECT this season. There are unmistakable holes and they are far from a finished product. My biggest concern, actually, is the bad game by Josh on Sunday, but if he bounces back I'll be satisfied.
Preach - it's like a bowl of goldfish that lose their memory from week to week.
In all fairness, I expected maybe 9-7 at best at the beginning of the season but had and still approach each week with a more 6-10 expectation. I don't think that will be our final record now by any means, but man has it been an enjoyable ride every week with that mindset. No one seems to be denying the obvious holes and issues, but they also seem to be entirely ignoring this critical context: Week 1 we returned three starters on offense: Josh Allen, Dion Dawkins, and Zay Jones (Foster notwithstanding). I'm sorry, but in your QB's second year, with an entirely new offense, how exactly was anyone expecting us to have the best starting record since 1993? It's fine to still be critical of a developing team in pointing out where they need to improve, but the underlying current has been one of progression and improvement if you focus on the overall trend and not week-to-week performances. it's like people not understanding that the weather and climate are two different things...
That said, the Browns loss was just plain dirty - but it's all a work in progress given that context.

Seeing Lamar Jackson's success in Baltimore has only enraged Bills fans ire over Allen. But I remain patient.
Slightly tangential to your intention here, but the comparison to Lamar Jackson has all the same trappings of the constant lamenting over Mahomes and Goff, and how we should be able to expect an MVP by year two.
If you look at those three young QBs that have all had substantial success in the league thus far on their rookie contracts, the only constant thread among them is an OC and scheme that perfectly matches their already established skillsets, physical strengths, and understanding of the game. In Jackson's case, I feel it was more Greg Roman finally found his Kaepernick 2.0 with a bit more to his repertoire, accompanied by a great roster and coaching staff but not surprising to see his previously successful scheme succeed again now. I still would like to see any one of these three QBs under a different OC/coach and scheme just to compare where the immediate impact and success stems from, but it seems to be a combination of the two from recent seasons. Jackson has proven he can pass, but his entire game is predicated on the success of the RPO in Roman's system opening the pass - we saw enough of it here to know. Goff benefits/ed from the no huddle, condensed 11/12/21 personnel packages and Gurley, where McVay could just leave his roster on the field, let Goff learn within those handful of packages, and stay on the helmet talk through most of the pre-snap reads. Mahomes' air raid thrives on the depth of roster talent and mismatches that Hill, Kelce, Watkins provide. He's inherently talented and simply completes the same scramble throws that Allen was criticized for making, Mahomes just completes them at a higher percentage. His edge is that he's able to read and make adjustments based on his experience in the system. All this to say, I doubt you see the same results with any one of them here or on most any other team.
What this all says about Daboll and Allen I'm not sure - Allen's made marked improvements over last year, but he looks to be forcing his current game versus playing more naturally. I'm clearly no expert on what's better/best for Allen, nor do I feel Daboll's scheme is the entire reason for our offensive issues. We could benefit more from not under-utilizing Singletary and the run game against known poor run defense teams like the Browns and some situational playcalling, but his playcalling isn't the entire reason. But on some level we do seem to be lacking in the QB/OC combination realm that has seen Mahomes/Goff/Jackson success.

3 - Daboll - Every season I seem to have a public enemy number one. While Oliver is up there on my list considering his draft status, he gets the pass being a rookie. I don't know if Daboll doesn't understand what works for him or if he has a Martz complex where he feels like he has to prove how smart he is. Allen is more comfortable, and we rush better, out of the shotgun. Our jet sweep plays come from that, which creates mis-direction, and again, gives Allen another option. Today, when we moved right down field in the first half consistently, we did it mainly out of that core formation. Then we get to 1st and goal from the 2. Daboll, in all his infinite wisdom, tries to cute plays and we end up 3rd and long; eventually settling for a field goal. Then, we have multiple short yardage plays where we prove time and time again that we can't execute. While I do appreciate giving Motor the start today and getting him way more involved in the offense, we also took Beasley and Brown completely out of the offense. And this brings me to my overall issue with Daboll. The man doesn't seem capable of doing more than one thing at a time. We are either a passing team or a rushing team. He can't keep it going and then, when things are looking good, he out thinks himself and sets the entire offense back, destroying any rhythm they have. I'm sorry, but Daboll hasn't performed in any job he's had and I'm not seeing the issues with the players for once.
Great takes for sure - and I can certainly see the reason for the skepticism. I'm with you on most of this, but without making it sound like I'm trying to excuse the above, I think we still need to consider a few variables regarding our perspective of the above and Daboll. Generally, we were going to be, at best, an 8-8/7-9 team this year before our schedule became the cupcake that it is, and no one expected us to be truly SB/playoff competitive this year. A lot of that had to do with the fact that on opening day, we returned and started three offensive players: Allen, Dawkins, and Jones/Foster (McKenzie too, but not qualifying as "starter"). Not only does it take offenses more than a single offseason and eight real game weeks to begin to show form and pull together with an identity, Daboll comes from a coaching tree predicated on complex offensive looks and schemes. John Brown was the first to subtly mention it publicly, but we're running a very complex O that does get too cutesy at times for what the situation may call for, but provides us a great arsenal for attacking teams on a fundamental basis.
As much as it's difficult to watch at times, I don't think this is something to be calling for dramatic change at this point - it certainly needs to improve, but I'd like to see us first have a consistently good offensive roster continue beyond just a single season before we coin our offense as overly complex and by result, inept. Tweaks certainly need to be made, but a lot of the reason why our offense can look different week to week is to limit how much opposition can scheme to us. Look what a power run offense under Greg Roman, a known pistol/power run guy, is doing with the right personnel in Baltimore - the Pats D hasn't seen anything like that, nor the NFL for that matter, since the early/mid 2000's. Mixing up offensive looks week to week very much helps us to open up the passing game, or run game with Motor, or rushes with Josh (if he could please learn ball security)...but all of these do help in a league that will take you to school once you start to get too rhythmic.
All this to say, at this point what I'd rather see is Daboll simplifying the scheme and approaching things in the present. Looking instead at the current situation/offensive drive rather than setting up for a later drive with varied looks in hopes of giving us a better 4th quarter look. Not looking ahead to next year by any means, but for being 6-2 as a team that is truly not yet ready to compete on the perennial playoff level, I'm happy to see we're at least taking care of the games we absolutely should win, and to take this into next season with another year under the system and returning offensive players like we did for the Defense this year, it's honestly the most hopeful I've been for this team in 20 years. Daboll should at least have the rest of the season to show what the scheme can do and make necessary adjustments, but a new system for Allen at this point or next year could just as easily have a regressive impact than a progressive one.

1. When a team is well-prepared for a game, they get a lot of easy plays. Fitzpatrick got a lot of easy throws against the Bills last week, and the Eagles got a lot of easy runs this week. I haven’t studied the film, but I noticed on several of the Eagles’ successful runs up the middle of the Bills defense, Edmunds was nowhere to be seen. Often he was stuck in the wrong gap, just watching the ball carrier go by. That happened to Edmunds often last season, but it wasn’t happening very much this season. Now, maybe Edmunds all of sudden reverted to his rookie bad habits, but it’s much more likely he was handling his assignment as coached and that the Eagles figured out how to take advantage of how the Bills defense attacked gaps. It happened too often to be an accident. On Sanders’ 74-yard touchdown, on the other hand, Edmunds just didn’t work hard enough to beat the block.
[...]
2. The Eagles’ offensive line dominated in the run game. The Bills’ offensive line didn’t. In the passing game, it was more or less a standoff – some nice pockets, some pressures and some sacks, both ways.
Love the posts as always, Shaw!
Inside zone left - it's all they ran. Hell, they ran it so often Tim Graham wrote The Athletic post game write-up about it, and included commentary from Eagles line players and our defense. Granted, it was run out of various formations, but it wasn't something that was being stopped and they were going to literally run with it until they couldn't. I feel like a good amount of this is actually in relation to your second point above, and that this was the first real OL we've faced all season long. It doesn't bode well for our Turkey Day date with the Cowboys, but after a couple weeks of weaker OL's and our DL's middling/average performances against them, this week almost spelled disaster for the DL. Beyond the known issues with Edmunds in his gap assignments and block shedding on run downs (which he has actually been overall better about this year than last), was that we do not currently have a starting 1T DT on our roster. Star has regressed to the point where he is losing even his one-on-one matchups, and cannot move laterally to assist in first contact plays on running downs. Not sure any of us expected big things from Peko, but he's been, as expected, a non-issue for opposing lines in Harry's absence.
What we're seeing now is a combination of issues with that specific role on our DL, Edmunds having a rough time with gap and block shedding assignments as a result, and opposing team's recognition of our rotation strategy. They know we're missing Harry, and that we consistently rotate personnel to provide fresh legs on key downs, however Zo spent more of the first quarter on the sidelines than in-play once he rotated off and the Eagles kept him off the field. It's something Miami exposed last week with us and injuries, and the Eagles took it further this past week with selecting opposing personnel and hurry-up packages to match.
It's hard - there's currently no internal remedy to the 1T DT role, and likely not one that can be readily found externally at this point until FA. Our run defense seems to go the way Edmunds plays in his gap assignment/block shedding roles, which is clearly impacted by the DL's ability to prevent/delay second level blocks at times. It's still something he did well with against the Giants and a few other weeks this season, but when he has games like the last two we do not have the DL personnel to compensate and assist until Harry is back next year, and hopefully performing at the same level. This leaves, more or less, schematic changes in how we approach the first quarter defensively to allow Edmunds what's needed for effective gap execution to set the tone for the game. For what it's worth, though, he wasn't the only one blowing gap assignments yesterday and getting eaten up by blocks.

Can Oliver catch Donald?
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by ctk232
So it’s easy to say in retrospect at a 9-3 season that x draft pick maybe would’ve mattered more than y guy in two losses this year. Especially when we all were thinking 7-9 at best this year, more likely 6-10.
But frankly, in April, we needed OL - it was our biggest need entering the draft, and even with our haul in FA nothing was guaranteed. Beane made the call this year to do one thing - protect our potential franchise QB, knowing full well the choices of WR depth coming up this year. To be honest, Ford wasn’t my first OL choice, I much preferred Risner or Bradbury - but to play this game disregards so many other variables that went into that choice at that time.
It’s not unsurprising for a second round OL to struggle in his rookie year, whatsoever, in fact for OL it’s pretty common. The last two weeks, he hasn’t been perfect at all, but he’s stepped up for us when we really need him to, and against two of the best DE’s in the league.
I don’t regret his pick, and he has plenty of time to prove himself a right-side anchor or a bust, but I’ll take Von Miller’s unsolicited credit for face value, and be hopeful for what’s in store for him. I don’t regret “missing” on Metcalf for a single second, and I’m glad to see him tearing it up in Seattle, too.
