The question with most Bills in the later half of this drought has been; we've seen running the ball, hitting a few timely passes, and playing defense is good enough to beat the bad teams, but can they beat good teams this way?
The answer last season was 1-7*.
Do they Bills have the Coaching to throw the ball down the field ? I'm skeptical on that.
Do they have WRs that can get deep with vertical speed? Very skeptical on that.

Positives
1. Time of Possession
2. Secondary looked faster, Trey White, Gaines, Poyer and Hyde were flying around.
3. Tyrod escaped 2-3 would be sacks out there.
Negatives
1. Stop trying to get the edge with Tolbert. We lost yards on that play at least 3 times.
Stupidest Moment
1. Todd "Marrone" Bowles punting from midfield on 4th-8 with 4 minutes to play in the 4th quarter down by 2 scores.
-
The Jets were a 2-point conversion away from tying the game late in the 3rd Quarter.
That said, it was a Bills formula victory - running the ball, controlling clock, making a few plays in the air when needed, creating that frenzy in the secondary.
-
Kevin Harlan is my favorite

Problem is we hear this every year from our team.
Every new Coach has the right idea, the right plan. Some fans fell in love with Chan's reputation with offense, others bought Marrone's tough guy act, I thought Rex would do better with the defense than he did.
-
Come on man, our fans are the worst.
How unrealistic can you get?
-
Good for Bennett. Cops have guns and badges and you don't and they abuse that power daily.
Oh Roger you silly goose. Easy to say when you're the judge, jury, and executioner. Maybe you can get the Hells Angels to run security detail at the games.
Easy to say when you make almost double what the highest paid player in the league makes.
-
13-9 Jets, that's what I wrote earlier in the week. I think the Bills can win, but I do think it's going to be an ugly game between two teams that can't score. You could see a halftime score of 3-3.
-
Just like Hackett saying he was going to run Spiller till he puked.
-
Taking what the defense gives you
Make that WR think twice about going over the middle
Sending a message to your team
Halftime adjustments

How are the Bills better than the last few years when they have finished with an aggregate 8-8 record?I mean I could take your word for it, except for the fact that the 2008 Atlanta Falcons, who had a mega roster turnover (I didn't do the math, but looks about equal to what we have) and a new HC, went to the playoffs in the first year of this mega roster turnover.
So, forgive me for not believing you spent much time researching this when we have a pretty obvious and prominent example within the last decade.
The talent doesn't say they're better on either side of the ball.
And sorry McDermott is not getting a pass as a better Coach than Marrone or Ryan just because he is new. He has shown nothing so far.
-
Fans that rip Rex Ryan have to realize that the people who hired him (Pegula's, Brandon) picked this Coach as well.
-
Was the team that impressive this preseason? Did the penalties get fixed?
We'll see in the regular season, but usually the Coach starts running out of answers in the post game about Week 7 or 8 around here.
-
Hopefully he continues his strong play and stays healthy.
-
You just largely described Bill Bellicheck.
Persona in a coach might not be a good thing, ya know. Remember the last guy?
Our Coach wants to run the ball because we play in Buffalo, Belichick has outsmarted the league by reinventing how to use multiple RBs as pass catchers, taking over the middle of the field with Tight Ends, using pick routes to perfection, going for it on 4th down, making trades for talented players and is a defensive mastermind to boot.
He's nothing like our Coach.
-
According to John Murphy and Donald Jones, Webb is a do it all player that can punt, return kicks, play WR, slide down and play some NT, be a cover corner, kick field goals, long snap, you name it.
-
When you Draft as poorly as the Bills do, you can see there is no depth or up and coming players anywhere on the roster.
-
"And C'Mon man!!! How can people not be excited about our new HC?!"
- Well he only talks in platitudes and cliches for one. Everything is a process. He is the classic Topper. He's done it all, seen it all, done everything, knows everything, has every answer.
- He is obsessed with Special Teams.
- Today he mentioned something like showing "what the city of Buffalo is about". What's that Coach? Workin' real hard, bringin' the ole lunchpail to Factory Job and putting in a 16 hour day at the press? Of course we need a team based on Toughness and running the ball because in December it snows. How does he know what the heck this city is about? He's never been here before and it shows with his obsession with getting as many Panthers on the team as possible.
How about a Coach who wants to live in 2017 and develop a top notch passing game? Instead of punts, a Coach that wants to go for it on 4th down and hang 40 on you? Nope we're going to get 3rd Down and manageable.
McDermott is joyless so far.
-
That's what I love about this board. It's the unbridled optimism of Bills fans.
Those so called experts are almost never right with their pre-season predicitons. Bills fans know a lot more about their team than the talking heads in the media. I say we make the playoffs. And guess what my opinion is worth just as much as theirs because until they play the games, nobody really knows from week to week who will win in the NFL.
Yup those "negative" fans are always wrong, oh wait actually no they're not, it's been 17 years of no Playoffs.
But you're right, let's blindly follow this regime and support every head scratching move they make.
-
he has 8 catches in his NFL career
He is critical to Special Teams
-
Marrone sucks. Does McDermott suck? That's yet to be determined.
McDermott has not been impressive thus far. Just like Marrone he sounded that way the first time I heard him speak to the Buffalo media.
Sean's done it all, seen it all, knows it all. If you have a story he.can top it. Ole' Topper McDermott.
-
My favorites:
- The more reps in OTAs and Training Camp the better you'll be
- Now that he knows nobody is looking over his shoulder he can go out and execute
- More time in the system
- Doesn't fit the system
- The biggest jump is Year one to Year two
- Running the ball is more important, after all we play in Buffalo
- Need that Special Teams versatility
- The only thing we can do is work hard and correct mistakes
- We're always looking for ways to make this team better
-
"It's not about bringing in our guys. We want good people and good football players that embrace what this city is all about." #OneBuffalo
Remember when Marrone came in trumpeting the same line?

Time spent "Waiting for Whaley" ..... 64 games
Time spent waiting for Bean to have results..... 0 games.
The person being unreasonable here, is You. Not everybody else. Not everyone who disagrees with you, but You.
Why in your world does Whaley get 4 years and he STILL deserves more time in your view, but Beane gets none. He gets nothing, but YOU KNOW he is NO GOOD. Because you just do. Right? Is that the size of things?
I think by Sunday at 4:00 pm the Beane/McDermott era gets off to a dud.
This team can't score.
[closed]Do Jerry Sullivan hate the Bills that much?

I have no problem with Sullivan. He pays attention. He remembers the decisions of the FO and holds them accountable.
Like Schopp, he goes back many years.
I like the negative first style. It's on the Bills to prove they can end The Drought and win something.
