Nathaniel Hackett was hired this offseason to be the Jets’ offensive playcaller, but he says Aaron Rodgers will be calling plenty of plays at the line of scrimmage, and the Jets will benefit from that. https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/nathaniel-hackett-says-jets-will-benefit-from-aaron-rodgers-making-calls-at-the-line#:~:text=Nathaniel Hackett was hired this,Jets will benefit from that.

Alright, what do we know about the current Jets? They had the #4 overall defense last season and that was due to a stellar defensive secondary, #3 in yards allowed, and #1 in TDs allowed. Their run defense was not so great, as in the middle of the road, 16th in yards allowed, and 14th in rushing TDs. They have Q Williams who had 11 sacks this preseason. What we also know is that Nathanial Hackett is the Jet's new OC and he was at one time the Buffalo Bills OC under St. Doug. Mallone eventually fired him and he was the Packer's OC for a few years until becoming the HC of the Broncos. He never called the plays in Green Bay as HC Matt LaFleur called them. Hackett's stint as HC of Denver was a complete disaster as he called the offensive plays for part of the year until he handed them over to the OC. (I do think the only reason Denver hired him was to lure QB Aaron Rodgers to Denver. That seemed to work for the Jets.) What Hackett did best as the Bills OC was call run plays up the middle to the tune of 80% or so of the run plays. The 2013 Buffalo Bills did have the #1 offense in rushing attempts, #2 in rushing yards, and #10 in rushing TDs. Fred Jackson and CJ Spiller were the RBs, and EJ was the QB. 6-10 was their record. Anyway, Hackett stated that Aaron Rodgers will call his own offensive plays. I have a feeling that the Jets will try and run the ball down Bill's throats knowing that Buffalo has an undersized 2nd-year ILB that didn't play this pre-season. Buffalo had better be able to stop the run or Dalvin Cook and Breece Hall will make this a long evening for Bills fans. With McD, It might be smart to put an extra DT/DE at LBer to stop the run and force Rodgers to throw, just a thought. On offense, Buffalo faces a top defensive secondary that could present a ton of problems with the Bills passing offense. It just might be time for Allen to become captain check-down this game with the short passes to the TEs and Cook. That new two-TE Buffalo offensive scheme might just throw a wrench into the Jet's defensive game plan. Buffalo was last in the NFL in 2022 to run a two-tight-end offense in 2022. Buffalo should win this game.

My take is the NY Jests signed Dalvin Cook for what he did last year to Buffalo with that 62-yard TD run. They gotta be planning to run the ball a whole lot to keep the heat off of Rodgers. How good is that Buffalo run defense with their new LBer who is more of a coverage LBer? If he has to face pulling guards... OTOH, I can only hope Buffalo has been working on quick-strike packages to keep the heat off of Allen. Didn't Williams have like 11 sacks in preseason? Perhaps Buffalo needs to get their Cook working in the ground game. Either way, I want the Bills to end this NY Jets playoff talk.

While I agree with that first comment. There has been so much negativity from certain fans recently and I can't help but feel that these aren't really Bills fans rather than other team fans attempting to stir the pot. Look at this man. 10 pages of nonsense about what? One of, if not the very best QB this franchise has ever had! It's completely baloney, the kid is super smart and has the best work ethic of any QB I've ever seen. Josh Allen works with Jordan Palmer every offseason to improve his game. Brady, like Mahomes, is a different story. Brady had a future HoF HC in BB who built a strong team with a stout run game and defense to enable Brady's growth. Mahones sat for a season and learned under both Andy Reid and QB Alex Smith. Let's face it, I doubt Mahomes would be as good under any other head coach...who is looking like a HoFer himself. Nothing wrong with a team that just went 13-3 and is looking to finally reach that SB. Other teams fans simply can't stand the success.

Good lord, will this negative crap ever stop? Go post on the board of the team you really root for and leave this one alone.

This forum isn't just for Buffalo Bills fans as we see so many posters from other teams posting here...and so many that we really don't know where their loyalties really lay. People love to stir the pot and get fans going on one thing or another while mostly jealous of the Buffalo QB, their GM, their HC, and their winning the division for a few years now. Taking the glory from Patriots fans and that has got to have those Bean town peeps beating like stuck sheep. Meanwhile, the Jets sit in the basement missing their drafting of QBs in the draft needed to sign Aaron Rodgers as It looks like he is at the end of his career. When you start thinking of retirement...you are already gone. Miami, with its meddlesome owner, wanted Tua over Justin Herbert and got his wish. Can you imagine Herbert on the Dolphins?

Just stop with this draft pick stuff...Some Bills fans still can't get over the Donte Whitner pick... Let...it... go... as this team was just 13-3! The Buffalo Bills have one of the very best, if not the best darn QB in the NFL, and some can't stop talking about a missed draft pick in some round. EVERY TEAM MISSES SOMETIMES! Guess who moved up in the 2018 draft to select the ONE QB worth anything, Yea, that's right, Brandon Beane. Now, if he has selected Backer Mayfield #1 overall, then complain. If he has selected Sam Darnold #3 overall, then complain. Now, imagine being a NY Jets fan when the team could have drafted Allen, and instead drafted Darnold...then went on to miss on Zach Wilson with the #2 overall in 2021. IF Beane HAD DRAFTED THE GUY SO MANY BILLS FANS WERE CLAMORING FOR IN JOSH ROSEN. Some don't wanna recall that they wanted Beane to give up the farm to trade up to the #2 spot with the NY Giants to get Rosen. Where is Rosen now? I'll bet that every team in the NFL that drafted before the #7 pick wishes they had drafted Josh Allen. Anyway, who shives a git about trading away a guy they were gonna outright cut if they couldn't find a trade partner? Just be happy that this team didn't give up 3 #1 picks to trade up to draft Trey Lance! Only to give him away for a 4th.

Let's all face it...that Bengals game and recently that Steelers game let us Bills fans wondering what is going on? First off, the window won't close until Josh Allen retires as he is the heart and soul of the team. So many are making conjectures about why the Bills are not the talk of this offseason. (Which in my opinion is a good thing as the Bills do better as underdogs.) There are reasons for both those games and my take is the players were mentally spent with Hamlin almost dying on the field right in front of them. With the Steelers, Buffalo Beat them 38-3 last season in Buffalo... which was an embarrassment and I'd say they game-planned a bit for revenge. Anyway, the Buffalo offense was as good as, if not better than when Daboll was calling plays and KD was a rookie play caller. The offense got a whole lot better with the addition of rookie TE Dalton Kincade as Buffalo ran with 2 TEs very little last year and this year it looks to be their mainstay. https://bleacherreport.com/articles/1624948-breaking-down-why-the-two-tight-end-offense-is-the-best-in-the-nfl The guy they brought in last season to be the slot WR was injured right away and lil dirty turned out to be no so good... a big failure in that spot. The WR room improved a bunch and with a healthy Davis, it should be so much better. The Buffalo offensive line improved a whole lot over last season and RB James Cook is that breakaway back the Bills have been looking for. The Buffalo defense isn't currently crippled in the secondary like it was at the end of last season. The defense should be improved this season. Will will see which way it goes against the Jets on MNF vs. the Buffalo Bills who have been replaced by some as the SB favorites. I'm highly optimistic about this season.

I agree. The GM is really only as good as the scouts that are giving him info on players. Plus, I'll bet that McD has some input into those defensive picks. *cough cough* Boogie. Seriously, some picks simply don't work out and fans just need to let it go. So he couldn't find a WR in the draft and traded for Diggs, couldn't find that premier pass rusher, and signed Von Miller. This stuff tells me his scouts aren't all that great. Buffalo is a great team and it's mostly because of Beane.

Hey, they were gonna cut him as they were overloaded. At least they got something for him.

All I gotta say is...did we forget that this HC went to the playoffs with Tyrod Taylor at QB? Yes, Josh Allen is a very big reason this team is so good. However, let's not forget that the Buffalo defense has been pretty darn good too.

Sadly, this might be the year the Bills do take a step backward. The offensive line is a concern...all those penalties in the first half...meaning that the first string was being dominated. The defense looked old and slow and if they can't stop the run or pass in the middle... I can recall the year the NY Giants won the SB. That they went up to Seattle and were manhandled as their QB was sacked 7x and had 4 turnovers in a loss. Stuff happens. The Steelers were looking at a well-known playoff team coming into their stadium and normally teams don't prepare much for opponents in the pre-season. They might have been extra hyped up playing Buffalo in knowing that their starters will play. OTOH, didn't the Bills beat Pittsburgh in Buffalo last season 38-3? We will see.

I stand corrected! Dunno why I first thought it was Klecko. Can't refute an actual video. Ole Ben did get it wrong stating it was #99. If he is in, why not Gastineau? NY sack exchange. Anyway, still don't believe a guy like him is now in the HoF when Bills fans have an innovative player who literally changed the game and is not in the hall. The Man was also MVP of the pro bowl and still gets overlooked.

Oops, well just looked it up and we were both wrong as it was #99, Mark Gastineau. Who remembers Ben Dreith's "Giving him the business" call (narkive.com)

I don't get how this player made it into the HoF over Steve Tasker. Although a 4-time Pro Bowl, 2 of those seasons were all pro, and an 11-year career. 78 sacks If I recall correctly the only notable thing I remember about the guy was ref Ben Dreith throwing a flag for a personal foul on Klecko for "giving him the business down there" after he tackled Kelly. The Jets lost a lot of games to the Buffalo Bills during his time in the NFL and I get why he wanted to take it out on a QB that was always beating up his team.

Crazy good stuff!

I also think that Allen would have made any team competitive as the kid has a work ethic like no other. I would have cried hard had the Browns drafted him... and someone would have had to coax me off the ledge had the stinky Jets grabbed him.

Dunno if anyone else recalls but there was talk of the Browns drafting Allen with that #1 just before the draft. At some point, someone *cough-cough* released some offensive tweets by Josh Allen hours before the draft..and he fell to the #7 spot! Those tweets were before he enrolled at Wyoming, so he was very young. Thank the good lord that the Browns are the Browns and the Jets are the Jets...Mayfield, Darnold. Where are they now? BTW, good thing Beane traded up to #7 because Arizona was working to draft Allen too.

He wasn't wrong! Hacker took a pro-bowl-SB QB and made him look like a bum. Hope he does the same thing for Aaron Rodgers...although he said Rodgers will call his own plays. Hacker didn't call plays in GB... he is just a nice guy and what happens to those? Clearly brought in to lure Rodgers to the NY Jests. EDIT: Oh, BTW, let's not forget that the man who hired him in the first place to be an NFL OC ended up firing him in Jacksonville. Saint Doug canned him. He stunk it up in developing Blake Bortles. They made the playoffs one year because of a stout run game and #2 overall defense.

Awesome stuff, great to hear!

Just think, it could have been that kid with the Chargers. The Miami owner is also a fault. Anyway, this AFC East is going to be a much much tougher division to win. The Jets are now loaded and if they sign Dalvin Cook along with RB Breece Hall, good lord. The Dolphins are better as they hired a new DC. This new guy might not run that same lame defensive scheme with the wrong players. Miami has some scary speed. The Patriots now have their old OC, you know the one that was a HC and who isn't a DC. This guy knows how to run an NFL offense. Buffalo has their work cut out for them and in particular should these teams decide that since their QBs are not "elite", they should run the ball more, a lot more. The Buffalo defense is more built for stopping the pass. They have shown a weakness in stopping the run and if you look back to that Cincy playoff game...my take is teams will look at that game and attempt to copy what Cincinnati did to beat the Bills on both offense and defense. Here is hoping that the Bills keep stomping their AFC rivals!

This kinda scares me as my take it was mostly Kim who wanted to buy the Buffalo Bills. I also think she was the one who helped forge the FO and Coaching staff. Regardless, we all see what Terry has done with the Sabres so far...So yea, hands off pls.
