Oh look! McKenzie! Again, another 10-yards. Nope, but the fans are morons.

Get in the Red Zone, let’s run it!

McClappy back at it. This is the 2017 Bills here.

Right now anyone is better than Beasley. Get Landry from the Browns.

I think we got that answer quite clearly in New England a couple of weeks ago.

Think McKenzie will get a touch the rest of the game with this Coaching Staff? Nope.

Why is not apparent to this coaching staff that Beasley is freaking shot?

What a shock! McKenzie touches the ball and it’s 10-yards instantly !!!!!!

Beasley has been out of gas all season and yet McKenzie is benched again because he bobbled a punt.

Beasley back out there ……

Sage Rosenfels trying the helicopter and fumbling.

Ole’ Trent running out of bounds on 4th down comes to mind, but I completely agree.

They’ve completely abandoned 4 and 5 wide after the first game against the Steelers.

McDermott is turtling back into his little shell. Weak trying to draw Offside. Weak, wimpy punting.

Amen, he has lost a step or two steps.

Beasley with ZERO separation.

Bills offense has been ice cold since the 2nd Diggs touchdown miss. There aren’t enough touches for Knox or McKenzie.

Bills have gotten extremely conservative here. Allen is cold now. WHERE IS MCKENZIE?

Herbert has 1 more passing TD than Allen, one less Interception, and two less total TDs than Allen. The Bills offense averages 28.5 ppg, the Chargers average 27.6 ppg. So if Herbert is the gold standard, he's better on passing yardage, completion percentage, but Allen means just as much to this offense and is a better runner.

Torn labrum or not, when I watch Baker it's apparent that if he has to move off his spot at all, he literally trips over his own feet and falls down. Allen makes dodging pressure look so easily, Baker would have 70+ sacks behind this offensive line. In addition to below average athleticism, Baker also struggles to overcome his height.

We've seen this offense get stymied too many times this season to think it's 2020 again in my opinion. 16 against the Steelers, 6 against the Jags, 15 against the Colts, 10 against the Patriots. The Bills have not been able to pass block as well this season, the Coaches have not developed expanded roles for Davis or McKenzie, the play calling has been stagnant for stretches with no pre-snap motion, static personnel groupings, running on first down deep in the red zone, and execution has been spotty.

This Coaching Staff is hurting this team. Their lack of snap count and role for McKenzie is baffling. And their unconditional love for Beasley is equally as frustrating.

This is the matchup I want. Go right at that team. Jones is a dump off artist, they have no WRs to fear, and we know they're going to try and play clock ball.

1. Allen and this Coaching Staff lost faith in the Offensive Line Game 1 this season. The Bills came out in 4 and 5 wide, and the line was collapsed, and from that point forward, the Bills haven't been nearly as aggressive. 2. This Coaching Staff is holding the passing game back by insisting that Cole Beasley and Emmanuel Sanders start and dominate snap count over Gabe Davis and Isaiah McKenzie. It's only because Sanders is hurt that the Bills finally got Gabe Davis on the field. Similarly, McKenzie slays the Patriots, and he's right back to 32% snap count behind old/slow Beasley a week later. When Daboll said earlier this year that Davis plays behind Diggs, Sanders, Beasley, I just shook my head. 3. The Bills get nothing out of any Tight End other than Knox. The Bills have been a franchise that historically skimps at Tight End, and we don't have NFL caliber Tight Ends there other than Knox. 4. Our play calling has been putrid at times this season. Insisting that Zack Moss be our Red Zone running back, no pre-snap motion, no slants, no bubble screens, the Josh designed runs come and go, and go and come. 5. While the fumbles are down, Allen has regressed from 2020.

I think this is a smart take as well. The Bills still don't get many passing plays that just work. Even in 2019, it felt like Allen had more time to survey the field and fire fastballs down the seam. It felt like the offense had more slants. Now, it just feels like our passing game is all diving on the sidelines with miracle catches, and somewhere in the middle of the season when we couldn't run, the Bills worked more running back dump-offs and screens into the passing game. From my perspective it's Allen running around and chucking down the field. Part of this, in my opinion, in lack of trust in the offensive line. You could see Game 1, the Bills wanted 4-5 wide all game. But the Steelers collapsed the line and from that point on the Bills haven't been nearly as aggressive, and this line has been in the bottom half of the league this season. Two, the Bills Coaching staff has still not made changes to the starting lineup. Emmanuel Sanders is viewed as a locked-in starter, and Gabe Davis had no role on this team for 3 months. Now, it's obvious to them that Davis should be on the field more than 33%, but Davis lost all those reps to Sanders, even though Sanders was slowing down in October. Same thing with McKenzie. This team goes right back to Beasley yesterday and forgets McKenzie. I don't know what they're watching. When McKenzie gets the ball he gets into the endzone, Beasley doesn't. Even with Diggs this team still doesn't throw slants. Also, the Bills don't have the WRs that get deep and allow Allen to uncork deep balls. We haven't had that since Robert Foster in 2018. We don't have that kind of WR. The Bills have no deep ball and haven't for 3 years. I also think this has been a down year for Brian Daboll. We don't run consistent pre-snap motion, Diggs is not moved around the formation, up until the last couple of games we were still having Zack Moss come in the Red Zone, because of the line we rarely run drag routes across the field. We saw it in New England, and it's been sparse this year other than that. We get nothing out of any Tight End outside of Knox. The Bills have always been weak and thin at Tight End, and there is nothing behind Knox, or anybody to push Knox.
