ha Ritchie is still a bully!!
All the refs know it too, hence all the flags.
Suh inexplicable still gets away with stomping players.

McCoy for a 3rd

There are a bunch of ways to do it. There are coaches that have a great scheme and find guys who play well in that scheme. There are coaches that have a flexible scheme and are great at adapting to fit the talents of their players. And both of those ways have 5x as many guys who do the same thing they do but suck at it. Satan there is no one like. No one knows or coaches both sides of the ball like he does. No one plays GM like he does. He's an anomaly.
Satan the Ogre focuses on the following:
- Make teams play left handed, taking away what they do best. Rush 7, drop 10, triple team the #1 receiver, spies, whatever it takes to get them off their game
- Make teams first prove their strengths on game day, people change day to day. They'll give up points if needed
- Bend the rules into their favor, drawing more penalties on the other team where they are weak and staying away or masking suceptible fouls his team makes
- Focus on obscure minute details first, and then work inwards to the more fundamental. See things the opposition do not know about themselves
- Make no mistakes of their own. Simplify if needed. Uncoachable fan favorites are gone.
- Have their best players win the game. Not go for the buzzer beater, but dictate the game will be won in the red zone or the big play or ball control per the talent
- Influence the league to change rules. Grudge match with no PI when Brady's starting out, then PI every down and no hits when Brady's a star.
None of that involves who has their hand down, or how the plays get called in. Might as well start busting up a house based on what's in your toolbox.

Why is it every single time we clean house on the defensive side it has to come with a switch between a 3-4 and a 4-3. Stache 600-600 4-3, Pettine 3-4, Schwartz 4-3, Rex 3-4, McDermott 4-3. The talent erosion would not have been nearly this bad if they just limited the house leaning moves to the same general scheme.
Thing about it, I saw them playing a lot of fronts where they covered the center, and then brought down Lorax. That's a 3-4.
So they're really is no scheme change. Just churning the roster to buy a few years worth of paychecks.

Love how people think you can just move guards out to play tackle and take into no consideration arm length, footwork, or ability to play the position...they are two totally different positions...
That's the problem with people playing Madden...they think they can just move anyone anywhere in real life and they'll be fine...reality is a long long way from Madden
This is wrong. Versatility is a big trait to look for in olinemen. RT is not that as specialized as LT because you're not on the QBs blind side and won't be facing edge rushers who run a 4.4.
Jason Peters moved from TE to LT and is one of the best ever at his position. Cowboys line moved this year. Consistenancy is big, have the same 5 starters for 16 games is huge. The backfield picks up on the nuances. But that's out the window because coaches' butt boys get the start instead of what's going to win the games.
It's a game of blocking and tackling, that's it. Put your most violent goons on the field and you win. Everything else is on the coach.

....why didn't we just leave last year's offense intact???
It's a whole new set of square pegs and round holes.
It went through a lot of 3 and Out first down droughts. Those lead to big plays giving up by the D.
When the passes come over the middle and the whole field is open up to attack, a lot of penalities go into the Bills favor. It had to be done.
-
Kaep's not black.
Frank Gore is black. Kaep cost him a superbowl by throwing it on 4th and Goal instead of handing it off. -
First thing they did was change the run game, only thing that worked last year.
Then they get rid of Gilmore and draft a CB with McD's 1st pick.
Then dump Sammy, and have Tyrod play like Big Ben.
All they had to do was take Schwartz's defense of pass rush man press, and Roman's offense of Tyrod running and throwing deep. It was given to them, but they junked it.
They're stockpiling picks, waiting for Brady and Big Ben to retire. They'll keep stockpiling picks until they get their guy behind center. Then 2 years to groom him and year 3 they get their Julio Jones.
No sense of urgency, and only know how to play football one way. The only guarantee is that the Bills have McD for 2 years good or bad.
Oh also, McD still hasn't fixed the penalties. -
Osweiler sucks. He is so innaccurate.
Hue Jackson is still doing those complicated motions, like that was the big problem with the Browns. They didn't put the QB out at flanker enough and then bring him under center. WTF.
Kizer has trouble with one player reads and will get killed. I wouldn't be surprised if the Browns fire everyone again. -
How can you possibly think this is "clearly worse" than anything?:

The game is not a stat sheet. Tyrod can't throw over the middle, and coaches are forcing him.

Bad year ahead. What everyone else said, plus:
- Schedule is a lot harder this year
- Coaches look like they only know how to do one thing
- Margin of error in the NFL is extremley high and any weakness will be exploited. A bad kickoff return game can destroy you
- The things that caused the Bills to loose last year, like penalties and throwing over the middle, are not fixed.
- New problems, like turnovers and injuries, will pop up
- Very little will to win from ownership. Brady had a concussion, and they just let that slide. They make more money loosing than if they won. -
There are people out there who this would be the last year they will watch the Bills. Next year, they're dead.
New staff just tanks the first year to have an excuse to be around longer. They don't know what they are doing and just want a paycheck. -
Get used to seeing:
- Huge interior run lanes
- LBs lost in coverage
- Rookie cornerbacks biting on play fakes
- WRs just running straight down the field past everyone -
Hundreds of thousands of people gathering everyday, showing no allegiance except to their own selfishness.
At the same time, people a lot poorer and younger are getting blown up and shot to death and burnt alive to keep them fat and happy.The fat mob keeps asking for more, more money for their stadiums. More money for their drugs. More medicine because they're eating themselves to death.
Yeah, why not? -
BB will scheme a new defense that doesn't rely on DL. He'll play 9 DBs and two linemen standing up, and it'll be the #1 defense in the league, and NFL countdown will break down the film for three hours.
You know, he did do that once against Bledsoe?

Tanking really is awful. Dark days, the hobbits at the edge of Mordor, things like that.
It starts off with the Bills not evening able to run the most basic of NFL plays. Off tackle, stick routes, deep ball, draw. No audibles, no motions, no up-tempo, nothing fun that every other team in the league does. Meanwhile you see other teams tear it up, teams that look a lot like the Bills and become the new darlings of the league.
Vets you like give it all. McCoy, Williams, Clay give you a few bright moments.
There are some losses that are really close, coupled with a few surprise wins, and you have hope. Then a team that really wants it crushes the Bills.
Fall comes, and everything says it's football time. Then the holidays. But all hope is lost with Buffalo.
You start to like other teams, Detroit, Pittsburgh and curses you even see likability in New England and Miami.
Vets openly quit in weeks 17 and 18. Attendance drops. Open season on the Bills. Rumors start of a team in Toronto.
Everyone looks forward to the draft instead of an acutally real football game. Hope rests on some rookie who already acheived his life goal by getting rich. High chances of getting the next Ryan Leaf, or the Bills whiffing on the pick and taking a RB or DB. -
Draft time I said oline was the right move. QBs not available, rebuild like the Cowboys, get the best oline in football, then you can drop anyone who makes plays behind center.
>NOOOOOO!!!!!! Only skilled players are taken in the first round.
The Bills cut Gilmore, and draft his replacement.
>MUH THIS!!! -
Is Peterman still only doing one read passes?
-
They game plan for it, find ways to hold where the refs can't see, or how to draw penalties. One of the benefits of having everything set on offense and defense, you can look and push for greater advantage elsewhere.
One way to fix it is to start suspending players for bad play and penalties. Look through the tape, and if they continually play unsafe or bad football no one wants to watch, they're gone. -
So there's a long list of players who had some talent, and showed some signs of life, that the Bills dumped and now their career is over.
All those player bad too? Or do run first offenses kill your roster? -
Definitely. Even if the Bills want to trade up to get a QB high in the first round, the 2 first round picks they have should really be enough of an asking price.
They can keep their 2 seconds and 2 thirds and use them accordingly.
Going back to the 4-3 will do wonders for our defense. At least that's what I believe.
It definitely plays to the strengths of Dareus, Meatball & Hughes, and I am most anxious to see how Lawson does as well.
The potential that our defense has, gives me optimism for this season.
Amen.
They'll be new problems. New coaching staff, new schemes, new personell, a lot of vets gone.
Biggest thing last year was the schedule was very easy. A game without Brady. AFC North with weakend Ravens, Bengals, and Browns. 49ers, Rams, and Cardinals. Then look at this year. AFC West, NFC South. Ouch.
The Bills really tailed off at the end of the year. That Oakland game took the wind out of their sails. Not a good sign. The trend arrow is pointing down.
Last year, they stayed relatively healthy. Ragland went down in camp, and Sammy was hurt. Dareus was out for 4 plus a suspension. Perhaps that was due to Rex being a players coach, being lax with penalties and easy practices. Same with turnovers.
4-3 they'll be weak up the middle against the run. I remember some games from back then after Sam Adams and Pat Washington left. Large running lanes.
Zone run is going to tear up the backs. Short passing, plus designed runs, Tyrod's going to get beat up. Rookies in the secondary and WR are going to limit the playbook and everything's going to be new to them. So there's a downside to what the Bills are doing.

I hate to say it, but Gronk.

Biggest problem with the idea of franchise QB:
When they're taken that high, they're done. Their life dream's accomplished, they get their money, and they never dig deep or commit for greatness. Carson Palmer, Jay Cutler, things like that.
What you need is a QB who can make every throw on the field. That's it. Then you need to give him time. Everything else is magical thinking.
Coaching is much more important. Owner is much more important than that. You need people who know everything there is about football, everything about the league and the players in it and the players who will be in it, and where the league is going the next decade.
You need ownership who puts their mark on the league and avoids getting swindled by vultures and charlatans.
Most importantly, you need owners who really want to win, and not just cash in on that TV contract. -
as someone from the UK the obsession in the US with how people are during your national anthem is really confusing.
Yeah I know.
Also what's up with all those statues and graveyards. Can't we bulldoze the Vietnam War memorial and put up something cool, like a hooka lounge or strip club?
While we're at it, all those sick people warehoused away in dark hospitals, let's kill them and take their TVs. THey're not watching it.
White Americans are still upset that a black man became president and was more successful than they will ever be
We droned some folks.

Funny, I have a similar theory concerning Spectrum Cable.
