[Everyone, this is what needs to be done on Offense]

I'm not an X's and O's guy by any means, but it does seem like making things more spread out, instead of condensed, would benefit our offense. I never played football, so what are the advantages of having the QB under center (not just in our case, but in general)?

Under center, the RB get's the ball with a running start. In shotgun, they get the ball at a dead stop. It's much easier to run under center, and the defense has to respect the run. Those three step drops are a lot harder than they look, especially while looking at the safety and the pass rush. It's also a sign that one can play football more than one way. Power, spread, west coast, you need it all. Power offenses actually have a lot more demanding throws for the QB. Crazy stuff.

It's not the cure-all for the Bills offense. TT will need to get the ball out even faster if they go single back shotgun or empty. LBs are fast in the NFL and can cover. You won't fool anyone with scheme. They've seen it all a hundred times before. It really comes down to physical match ups, and more importantly getting your players to sell out and give everything, really run themselves into the ground.

Really funny reading down this thread.

Lost at Seattle
Lost at home against the Dolphins
Deshaun Watson torn ACL as a rookie

Yeah let's do all of that.

I kept waiting for them to spread it out and put TT in shotgun...kept waiting...and waiting. It seemed like the obvious thing to do. But I'm not as smart as Dennison.

TT is always in the shotgun, rarely does he pass under center. Singleback or empty out of the shotgun requires quick passing which they can't do.

I guess they could do pistol, but that makes it worse. Defense will never believe you would pass under center, and Wood will need to do three different snaps.

1-2-3 pass. TT needs to do that 100 times a day for the next 10 days until he gets it right.

The oline does this thing where they intentionally give ground. All five of them. They engage contact, then one, two steps back, then abandon a rusher to form a pocket. Like what Ducasse did on that infamous screen play where he threw that Bengal into TT. At least they did against the Jets. TT always looks to run, and the oline is expecting stepping up in the pocket and 1-2-3 ball away.

With McCoy, he just waits at the line. You can't do that in the zone. One cut and go.

Gamers do one thing, line does another. Both end up as just the laziest choice to make. I guess it's CoD time again with the Bills, who are being paid millions to do a very simple job with relatively little pressure compared to other professions.

One bright spot about this is that it looks like McD is going from fun overachieving meek young guy to bloodthirsty raging psycho which all NFL coaches eventually turn into. He should carry around a baseball bat or a blackjack or something. Drive this herd hard and don't stop for stragglers.

Penalties and turnovers.

Fix those Thursday Night and Bills are 6-2.

It really looked like they all got drunk on Halloween night.
