Yet...
Daboll averaged 45 PPG in his 2 playoff games in 2021.
Dorsey averaged 22 PPG in his 2 playoff games in 2022.
SB trophies are won in the postseason
Yet...
The year Josh had, by far, the best weapons he's had in his career.....20.3 PPG in 3 playoffs games in 2020. That includes a 10 point offensive performance at home against the Ravens. The same amount of points we had in the Cincy game this year.
This is fun. What else you got?.......

Im on board with your take here...Allen absolutely carried this offense and saved Dorsey from being an even bigger issue. I can't fathom how anyone can defend Dorsey's coaching job last year. He was without question a big part of our offensive issues. He utterly terrible in how he called games in the redzone, he poorly integrated our run game, he failed to get guys like Cook, Hines, and Shakir involved consistently in our passing game, and just how outclassed he was in the playoffs by opposing DC's.
It also took him way too long to realize we should throw the ball to Knox, especially in the endzone. Opposing defenders would talk about the minimal routes guys like Davis would run and how predictable it could be. And it showed up on tape where our WR's struggled to get open and too much of our pass attack success was on the back of Allen improvising and extending plays so receivers could break off routes and find a spot for Allen to get the ball. Our OL is not good enough to keep relying on extended plays.
The offense came out fast and furious, but then it was figured out by the time we played GB who gave the NFL a blueprint on to disrupt the offense that was never countered properly by Dorsey.
In defense of him, it was his first year as an OC on any level. So, he can take what happened last year and build on the positives and work to mitigate the negatives.
But, not going to lie, it makes me nervous gambling on Josh Allen and Diggs prime years on an inexperienced OC who is learning on the job. This team absolutely needs Dorsey to be better this year and to understand how to make much better adjustments. And that was the BIG difference between him and Daboll...is that Daboll was always changing the offense and gameplan each week and it was one of the big reasons that under him we were known to have one of the most complicated offenses in the league for players to learn.
But at least Frazier is gone...another guy whose post season performances are indefensible. Im much more optimistic that McD is calling plays than I would be if Frazier was back. The last time McD took over play calling from Frazier our defense immediately improved and significantly.
And yet with an uninjured Allen, better WRs, Daboll's ever changing weekly gameplans and a much, much easier schedule the Bills averaged the same exact ppg with Daboll in 2021 as they did with a first time OC in 2022. Add to that more yards on offense per game this year even though our defense couldn't get off the field as compared to 2021. Another post where I'm going to say something isn't adding up on your end. And don't say Allen either, Allen was our QB both years.
Daboll had his own warts, the biggest one thinking he could outsmart everyone, but usually he'd end up only outsmarting himself. There's 2 possessions in the Divisional round loss to the Chiefs right off the bat. 3 straight runs by Singletary on 1 and another where Gilliam, Singletary & McKenzie were the only 3 to touch the ball. 2 possessions where Diggs, Sanders, Beasley & Davis didn't even get a single target or even an Allen run. And that's with Davis being a clear mismatch once Mathieu left the game. Daboll threw away 2 of our 9 drives in that game.

Not really, it's just the trend that everyone is following.
Kyle Shanahan features his RBs and is successful doing it. He just needs someone a little better than Garopollo at the helm.
I prefer his offensive scheme over anything I've seen here in the past 5 years.
Same as when the Pats went to 2 athletic TEs. No other team was doing it at the time and it worked because defenses weren't constructed to deal with it.

It's night and day between the two. Please stop.
Dorsey was clearly learning on the job. The offense had no identity. Dorsey was unable to call complimentary plays. No play set up a future play. It was basically one play call at a time.
Often, he abondamed the running game without just cause. Look how the RBs were utilized in the passing game. Zero, nada, goose eggs for the most part. McKenzie's skill set never in play. The list goes on and on.
Dorsey hurt the Bills chances rather then helping them.
The offensive stats look good because Allen is that good. Not because of innovative and creative Dorsey schemes and plays. Come playoff time the Bills offense was predictable. Same game plan we've seen in years. Blitz and pressure Allen and double Diggs. Yet, Buffalo had little answers once again. At the very least, they didn't have enough answers.
On a positive not, Dorsey has a year under his belt and still had Allen. Frustrating to see wasted opportunities due to weak coachibg, game plans, and poor in game adjustments.
At least Fraizer is gone. Soon we will see what McD can do with this D. Exciting for me because this puts McD front and center. It will hopefully accelerate his demise if he continues to come up short. If not, he will and should receive much praise.
So Josh's numbers and our offensive numbers were nearly identical in 2021 & 2022. You claim they were only that good last year because of Allen. Yet Allen was also on the team in 2021, why weren't our numbers better with Daboll being here? Josh even had better weapons in 2021 vs 2022, wasn't injured and played against a far easier schedule. Something isn't adding up here.

He took the Giants to the playoffs and made Daniel Jones a winner.
Josh progressed and had great seasons under Daboll.
It's not a stretch to think Daboll brought put the best in Allen
Certainly, Dorsey was no where near as successful. Remember, the bonehead Allen INTs?
Daboll is an experienced OC while Dorsey just completed his 1st year as OC. Daboll's first OC job came in 2009 with Cleveland and he failed, posting the 32nd & 29th ranked offenses in his 2 years there. Then Miami, failed, then KC and failed again. He was the OC for 3 different teams in 4 years, all resulting in him being let go. His first real success as an OC didn't come until 8 years after he first became an OC and it wasn't in the NFL, it was with Alabama in 2017 when they won the national championship.
Secondly you say Daboll brought out the best in Allen, while Dorsey failed to do so. If we are going by the 2020 season only, sure. But Josh threw more ints in 2021, under Daboll, than he did under Dorsey this past year. Josh also had a better QB Rating and QBR this past year over 2021 and his ypa increased by almost a full yard. Even though Daboll had the experience over Dorsey and Josh being injured this year vs healthy in 2021.
Lastly, using Daniel Jones as an example on how he makes QBs better and a winner is laughable. What Jones was asked to do this past year was similar to what Allen was asked to do in 2019, don't lose the game for us. He didn't make Jones a winner, he made the Giants winners, Jones was just along for the ride.

When you get asked do you want you franchise QB to take less hits, who the hell is going to answer in the negative?
Then state that he needs to run less/slide more often AND they need to protect him better. Josh has taken just as much, if not more, punishment behind the LOS than once he's crossed it.

Am I thinking of the wrong play? Wasn’t he running to go celebrate with Hyde. He dove because he hurt his hamstring on the play. If he wasn’t hurt he would have kept running and would not have dove.
Hyde wasn't in the game when he hurt his hamstring. He had just left the game with the neck injury that ended his season. He was running to celebrate Milano's pick 6.

Lamar is a pretty good quarterback, who wins regular season football games and is very dangerous with his legs.
I don't understand how Bulldog and other pundits/fans around the country are so baffled that teams aren't lining up to offer their firstborns for him, or that the Ravens won't just hand over a fully guaranteed version of the Allen contract.He has spent the last snaps of his team's season injured and unable to play for three consecutive years. Despite playing 15, 12, 12 games the last three seasons, none of them had more than 3000 passing yards. In his last 24 games, he has 33 passing touchdowns and 5 rushing touchdowns. He has done nothing of note in the NFL playoffs.
He is a lot better than what many teams have, for sure. Those teams are right to wonder if they should give up a trade haul and contract commensurate with a passer who can play full seasons deep into playoff runs and compete with Mahomes, Allen and Burrow.
They act like it's unconscionable, and hint at nefarious undertones, because this is the kind of people they are. But it's really pretty simple.
I agree. So he has 38 total tds & 25 total turnovers(20 ints, 5 lost fumbles) in the last 2 years combined. He's not worth top tier qb money, let alone that much guaranteed.

If y'all really wanted to show appreciation for Gabe, this thread would end on this page. Page 13.

That's not even the best part of AJ Hawk driving, he also admits to falling asleep while driving. Some much so that he wears a device that buzzes to wake him up if his head falls forward.

I've wondered through this discussion how much of McD's aggressiveness in Carolina was due to the pressure/influence of his aggressive Head Coach, "Riverboat Ron"? Did he need that weekly influence of a former badass MLB in his ear encouraging him to push those limits? Can he find that again on his own with possibly his job on the line?
You just don't want to accept that it wasn't his defense over the last several years. I told right off the bat he was an aggressive DC and now his former HC confirms it and you still question it. Many seem to forget that before Ron Rivera was nicknamed Riverboat Ron he was a very conservative coach. He only changed when he was about to lose the locker room in Carolina. McDermott is far more aggressive than Ron is.

There’s multiple issues now. Lamar has to find the solution to this problem:
How do I accept an offer to be the 8th or 9th highest paid QB without looking like a total idiot?
I don’t think he can. He so far dug in and the embarrassment would be out of this world.
I think he'll eventually accept less, but only if it comes from someone other than the Ravens. He'll try and pass it off as it wasn't about the money it was about respect. Media talking heads will rejoice saying he showed great courage in his victory against the NFL.

So what I’m gathering is the Bills are probably trading for Davante Adams because there’s no rumors about it
And Josh Jacob's for Oliver, Basham, Epenesa & a 5th rounder in the 2036 draft.

So,
The poor O-line might very well have something to do with it…, 😁👍
Yeah, don't get me wrong, are there times Josh needs to go down or get out of bounds, absolutely. But he's taken just as many, if not more, big hits from shoddy OL play than from running the ball. If his career is indeed shorten both would be pretty equally at fault.

If the question was posed in the interview, I’m sure he would have answered. He stayed on topic. The nerve.
No he would've just pointed his finger at someone else. Don't get me wrong, I like McDermott, but this struck a nerve for me. Keep it behind closed doors, he knows better.

It didn’t come across as desperate, or harsh. Sean was smiling , but it did come across as something firm and committed too. It really didn’t seem out of place IMO, and i agree with you about running things thru media. It was just a common sense answer to a fair question in a relaxed McDermott interview. Not a big issue in this case IMO, as he also was praising josh , yet stating even great players need to EVOLVE their game. It was a positive affect , candid statement.
Did he happen to mention whether he thought HCs needed to EVOLVE their game?

If the coach wants it will happen, can’t let the lunatics run the asylum,
The coach & gm have wanted it for the last 2-3 years, it has not happened. Funny they want him to quit running when 3 out of his 4 injuries have occurred behind the LOS. One could argue a quality OL would aid in his longevity better than him reducing his running attempts.

Yep. Josh will be a Bill the next 10-12 years. McD may not make it past next year.
Terry is writing far bigger checks to Josh than McD.
Josh does what Josh wants as long as we're winning.
To add to that, Josh is by far the single biggest reason we've been so successful over the last 4 years. McDermott or Beane leave, we will still win. Josh leaves and let The Drought Part II begin.

What good will come from such blatant disrespect to our franchise QB? We need to keep him happy and focused on winning. No need for a power struggle.
Besides McDermott will lose a power struggle with Josh. That's why he hasn't been made to slide less over the years. This is far from the 1st time we've heard this from McDermott or Beane.

Optimizing Dawson Knox
in The Stadium Wall
Posted
I agree with everything you wrote except the last sentence. He's only 26 and based on his usage I would say he's a young 26. He's got a few years before you can say he won't be a star.
The Bills need to get a good enough line so it's not necessary for him to stay in and block. They also need to feature him more in the offense, especially when teams are doubling Diggs.
The only thing holding him back is the number of opportunities he gets. The top 5 TEs this year averaged 114.5 targets, including Kelce's 152. Knox's average for his career is less than 60 targets with a career high of only 71.
Take his numbers this year and give him Kelce's 152 targets and he would've had 112 rec., 1,209 yards & 14 tds. Kelce had 110 rec., 1,338 yards & 12 tds. Their production is very similar per target.
Now I'm not saying he's as good as Kelce, after all Kelce is now the focal point in KC for defenses this past year and Diggs is on the Bills. But he could do alot more damage if given the opportunity because of the attention defenses give Diggs and lately defenses using a guy to spy on Josh. I'd like to see his targets increased to around 90-100. About what Kittle(86) & Engram(98) had this year(#4 & #5 TEs in targets).
