Just you guys, however every Bills fan I talk to outside of here also are not happy with the play calling & offensive game plan. But keep explaining how 17-13 is sustainable & great.
-
Sorry I expect better. Everytime it appears the offense may turn a corner Daboll regresses and the Bills flounder. Vs. Baltimore at he Allen was under constant pressure and terrible game calling and follows it up with another 130 yard game vs Pitt. They purposely put the breaks on the offense and hard to watch despite 10 wins.

Daboll, Daboll Daboll..... 4 pages & he should be front & center in this thread. He is 90% to blame for not allowing Allen to shine.

That's coach speak for "Don't blame us if we suck"..... Look how quick SF has turned it around. Many examples. If they know what they have in Allen, then let him loose every once in a while. The Baltimore game was just horrendous when it came to the play calling as he was under pressure all game and seemingly no adjustments.. These <200 yard games are just way too common. Remember I think Allen is the real deal, but these games we see over & over are 100% (at least 90%) on the coaching. -

Bet you it's spent primarily on D & non skill positions. A #1 receiver would be awfully nice. -

And that is Shaw's blind spot too?..... He explains everything away & McD made the right call even if the end result failed..... However 10-4 is not bad, however as other's have noted 2020 will be a much sterner test. Give McD credit where credit is due, the team did not take games off & won the games they were supposed to (Miami, NYJx1, Wash, NYG, Denver, Cincy) & won road games vs. Tenn, Dallas & Pitt all of whom were caught at thje right time. On the Bills side of D maybe (against a bad QB). To me the Offense turtled and was afraid to impose their will. And I say they are not trying & we see it in the play calling over & over. Even the worst offenses in the NFL can throw for 300 yards is case in point. BTW the quicker we see what the Bills have in Allen the better...... -

I do like your analysis and you do a great job. However I think McD is all about the D & has has blind spot with respect to offense as there is no reason it could not have been better this year (a perfect signing forgetting his 4 game suspension would have been Golden Tate). BTW How else do you explain the Nathan Peterman experiment, not once, but twice????? -

I remember all that outrage over the Rams Chiefs game last year or NO vs. SF two Sundays ago...... Sorry the best Bills game I ever saw was the No Punt game vs. SF September 13, 1992...... I really get tired of people deriding offensive explosions and high scoring games. Maybe the Cleveland 6-3 games was the best you ever saw? It was a defensive struggle also called the worst game ever...... https://bleacherreport.com/articles/270428-worst-game-ever-buffalo-vs-cleveland-review -

Again if this is a log-term plan, then you let Allen throw & see exactly what you have as he is the long-term future. They don't because they have no idea (imo) how to utilize him. What they did at the end of the half & both possessions after getting the lead is not because of any long-term plan, it is because they they have little need for the offensive side of the ball. Vs. Cleveland they too decided that a 53 yard fg to tie the game was their best shot too, as opposed to being better prepared & going for the TD. We've seen for 3 years little go into that side of the game. To think that vs. Pitt was different then it would be against any opponent or QB is wrong. McD's philosophy for game planning is etched in stone. -

Billsfan1972 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Not if a Saints fan...... If only the Bills could steamroll an opponent. 230 in the first half & don't think he threw more then 3-4 after the first drive of the third. Another person deriding 300 yard games. So boring & unappealing vs. 3 yards and a cloud of dust.... ? He throws the ball, completes them & then yes important. Probably be singing a different tune if a Bills QB could throw for 300 once in a blue moon (which btw happens once every 2.7 years!!!!??)? -
Fine the Bills are an outlier. The fact the next closest team is some 30-34 games less........ (i.e. every team has done it in 2019 & 2018 & 2017 except Buffalo). This 100% lies at the feet of coaching and the refusal to get better offensive weapons.
-
Here's the last 300 yd game & yes the Bills took the lead with 1:20..... BTW TT needed OT to reach 300.... Down 14 in the second & third quarters...... https://www.espn.com/nfl/game/_/gameId/400874489 But remember those not worried about 300 yard games seem to think the Bills are 46-0 the past three regular seasons, so no need to ever throw......?
-
Too many here expect mediocrity. I think the offense is much better then they are being coached & should not be struggling to score 20 pts/gm.
-
Great let's hear more about "The Process"...... I do not like the handling of the offense & there are way too many examples of them letting teams back into games or it being closer then it should. Keep drinking the Kool-Aid I can be a fan & have issues with the coaching & play calling. BTW as excited as I am that they are in the playoffs, they still have a ways to go. They've had all year to address it through trades, getting Williams in there and other options. However as per my take McD isn't going to help the O, as it is all about the Defense.
-
You just won't stop (and many here brainwashed just as you are). 300 yards is not a terrible thing to aspire to (or really that difficult to achieve). Actually the Bills are similar to Seattle (another of my favorite teams) who while playing a much tougher schedule have won a # of games by the skin of their teeth & Carroll too at times have been way too conservative (even with Wilson at QB). Vs Carolina Sunday was a perfect example, as they did whatever they wanted to early & then went into a shell. My concern with them too is that it is not sustainable & being conservative doesn't do it in the long run. Actually pretty sad that it is only twice in 20 years..... My concern is that they have put all their eggs in one basket and frankly I have higher expectations from this offense, but have no idea as to their potential because of how they are coached & the conservative nature.
-
Let's be honest, we are Bills' fans, they are not EXCITING...... They have a great defense, that is more bend then break vs. smothering. Their offense is like watching paint dry with their emphasis on field position & minimize mistakes. I want more then anything for them to be exciting.

Boy seeing a QB throw for 300 yards is so boring & unappealing..... -

Explain the Cleveland game then? Same scenario, however a TD and you lose, a second year QB too. They gave Pitt 2 chances to tie the game and did win but were too conservative imo. As for Josh, he had multiple Int games vs. the Jets & Pats & to keep saying he is making bad decisions, throwing into coverage or high is again feeding a narrative that is wrong. The Bills won, but imo were again way too conservative. BTW watch NO yesterday? Sure looked like passing & 300 yards is fun to me. -

Again the Bills won & I guess we can't argue with the result, but this conservative cr$p is definitely an issue. The Bills gave Pitt multiple chances to get back in the game & if not for a stupid fumble & the second Tre int who knows what could have happened. Yes the Bills have had a rabbit's foot all year as there have been bad decisions made that cost them the Brown's (maybe the Baltimore) game too. Remember the Browns where they relied on the Defense and Cleveland went 87 yards to win? Last week Beasley get's tripped up and a PI call on fourth down. How many times do we see late game holding or PI calls. I'm thrilled they won, but sorry do not agree with McD's game management. And yes (before you sau McD was aggressive) they had no choice but go for it on 4th down in first as Haus was not kicking a 52 yard FG. -
Josh Allen - week FIFTEEN report card
Billsfan1972 replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Again wishful thinking. 2:00 minutes for go first half & 3 timeouts & they were downright giddy when they got the first down and could go to the locker room up 7-3. If they were so confident playing Duck, why didn't they try & score points prior to the half? Because that's McD playing for a low scoring game. -
Josh Allen - week FIFTEEN report card
Billsfan1972 replied to rayray808's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
And what has McD done in 47 games that makes you think otherwise? They were ready to milk a 7-3 lead (as we saw at the end of the first half yesterday). -
We get it...... Embarrassing nonetheless regardless of what you say..... Watching the game it seemed that the Bills played the entire game with the goal of scoring 17 points... I don't like it & concerned that come playoff time or 2020 when they need to score 30 points (as in the Philly/Cle/Balt) game they can't. 5 games under 200 yards passing. Sorry want to see more and know they can.
-
I just wanted to post the Sally Field GIF for a while!!!!!?? Missing the sarcasm....... BTW 47 games & counting for those keeping stats......??

Until the Bills do it (though now the high water mark is 200?) consistently.
