innovative coaching can go a long way in uniting the systems and its players and to me its one of the main ingredients in the recipe for success in the NFL IMO.
The league is constantly evolving with rule change/additions and new ways to attack and defend the opposition with a revolving door from player injury.
Get innovative or get beat...
good point Biscuit,
and you also wonder how much of the HC rubbed off onto the assistant.
Makes sense to me if someone wants to use the Watkins/Woods #1 and # 2 by way of example that their production be posted along with it. ( IMO )
Everyone just needs to keep in mind the Bills pass attempts per game average is the lowest in the league. ( under 30 )
3 and out stat /ranking sounds worse then what it is IMO
Its worse then getting one 1st down and out after the second set of downs, but clearly not a back breaking stat thats hard to overcome with good special teams in my humble opinion.
The Pats/Brady won a championship with higher 3 and out numbers so to me it helps prove the insignificants.
with all due respect
Does average D or below get you playoff results? (18th would be considered below league average)
I agree, the O does have much room for improvement.
( Patriots had more 3 and outs then Buffalo )
vs contributing and making the conversation sound a little more intelligent?
People from different walks of life frequent the boards and some more educated then others.
Everyone likes to chime in and talk football regardless and in my humble opinion they all have something to contribute.
When you look at where the O could be with even a slight improvement in the passing game it becomes easier to understand why McD wants to see where Dennison/Taylor will take him with better Defense.
Right, and the O made the most of it ranking 10th in the league in PPG.
The problem is giving the opposition the ball deep in its own territory and watching them march the entire length of the football field.
Can you see how that works against us?
with all due respect
The whole idea of how a run heavy O will succeed is not with a middle of the pack Defense.
Middle of the pack is not a good Defense.
when the opposition continues to flip the field on you despite a good run game its a recipe for failure.(IMO)
Its very likely that with a better D the Bills O would have ranked even higher in PPG in my humble opinion.
Starting field position is key...
I agree,
We may win many of our matchups with the Pats, but playing the best team in the league twice a season appeals to me.
Tom Brady is history in the makings ...
