When players don't execute it doesn't matter what you call. Some of the execution errors may well be due to coaching, but some of it is very obvious failure of football basics.

Honestly the most frustrating part of this team is that birds-eye-view, things appear to be well-called. Like, even all of the "OfFeNsE iS sChEmAtIcAlLy BrOkEn!!1!" videos involve breakdowns of plays where... there is a guy wide open for the first down that Allen just doesn't see because he locked on somewhere else. The defensive play call worked, and Wilson had to throw up prayer ball that spent like five seconds in the air to keep the game alive. Taron got beat clean off the line to start the play AND THEN made a boneheaded error trying to make up for the first mistake. What level of situational incompetence can coaches reasonably be asked to plan for? At what point is it coaching, and at what point is it players failing at their jobs? How much can change with new coaching staff if the players just aren't getting it done?

A team with Superbowl aspirations (which a team of our potential SHOULD have) cannot coach as though the offensive personnel is incapable of executing a field goal drive.

This has nothing to do with calling the timeouts, either a coach or a player screwed up inexcusably with respect to the field goal defense unit in a way that simply should not happen at the professional level. Ultimate accountability falls on the head coach, but the timeouts themselves were objectively correct and nobody is questioning them if we have any number fewer than 12 on the field for the FG attempt. We were looking to score at the end of the first, the clock management was perfect to attempt that. Clock management didn't throw an interception.

Their kicker narrowly missed a 41-yarder wide right, with a kick that might have been good from 36. The idea made perfect sense and was clear as we were doing it. There is a statistical link between distance and make % that is more significant than icing, for example. It was the objectively correct call, AND it worked! If you need a timeout to make sure that the right number of folks make it on the field for a special teams formation, something has gone terribly wrong Which obviously it did, but it doesn't change the timeouts there being the statistically correct decision

Yeah, every knee moved the kick back a yard or two, which statistically increases the miss chance. It also took wiggle room away from the kicking team in setup time. It worked. It worked perfectly, actually. But we tried to play football with 12 fellas instead of 11.

The timeouts forced the kick distance back several yards and forced the Broncos to take a kick in a rushed fashion. It worked. The kick narrowly missed. These are professionals. It absolutely SHOULD be expected for them to execute basic assignments on game day after multiple practice run-throughs that week. Coaches will likely be fired at the end of the season, and also players need to execute the basics of their jobs.

It's important to keep in mind that our drives without Cook stalled not because of schematic issues or inability to move the ball on the Broncos D, but due to two drops on extremely catchable balls and a ?????? play from Josh Allen on a 4th and 2. The Bills offense was schematically effective the entire game, gross errors in player execution ended literally every drive that didn't end in a touchdown.

The timeouts pushed the kick distance back. It worked. The first kick narrowly missed. Unfortunately, we had 12 on the field.

Timeouts are pushing the kick distance back, for those wondering

It worked. Execution error by Taron Johnson.

Okay that offensive play design was really, really good on the TD, Gabe's action on the edge forced the DB into a no-win position

I mean Josh straight up dropped the handoff on one of the drives where that likely would have happened

The D has been playing out of their minds tonight, dude

Bro this is the NFL, guys aren't wide open every play. They were open, and needed to catch the ball, too.

The players? What, is Ken Dorsey coaching players to let the ball go through their hands now?

Honestly... players are generally in a position to succeed so far this game. Execution errors are killing us so far.

Sure, just pointing out that we are currently 5-3, not 3-5. Far worse teams than ours make it to the playoffs pretty much every year.

If we go 1-3 it's not over, we'd be 6-6 at that point. Definitely not great, but very much still alive in the playoff hunt.

Morse/Allen thought that the Bucs were offside, which is why the ball was snapped.

The Jets didn't clown on our O-Line, though. Allen just played like a clown that game.

Wait do we still care who wants to have consensual sex with whom these days? Cause I can think of at least a thousand better things to care about Like belly button lint elimination, that's at least one of them Or what I might have for dinner in 50 days, also a good one Or what shade of brown the dirt in my back yard is, also better

Lions are just dominating in the trenches right now, run game is firing and Packers are under siege in the backfield

Kincaid has been pretty good for us so far this year, had a down game as a rookie against a good defense. It happens.

There is literally no evidence to support this and substantial evidence to the contrary.
