The bigger issue is Beane and McDermott missing on a majority of our defensive draft picks.. The Eagles actually play defense similarly to us they dont blitz often difference being their d line is ferocious and get pressure with the front 4 . Beane has drafted so many d lineman with barely anything to show for it

Yeah im aware he learned under jim johnson but his scheme is very different. His defense atleast since Carolina has been a cover 3 zone based system with pressure expected to come from the front 4 ..fraziers background is in Tampa 2 ..they run nickel based zone defences more than any team in the nfl since they've been here.

Fraziers/ McDermott's philosophy has been an issue. They design the defense around limiting big plays..we blitz far less than other teams..this worked fairly effectively when the entire defense was relatively healthy and tre was able to provide upper level coverage along with both safeties playing at an elite level..the scheme obviously needs to be tweaked when we can't even keep teams in front of us anymore . We don't get consistent pressure and barely beat the dolphins with their backup QB tyreek and waddle torched us in every matchup

Spot on just made this comparison in the post game thread

Im seeing disturbing similarities to the 2000s Colts and that's not a great thing. Conservative coach running a zone based scheme that get's gashed in the playoffs..all time great qb that the team is super over reliant on . Getting dominated at the line of scrimmage. In don't know if coach is the right man for the Job he's done alot and he will always be revered in this city but we just havent gotten it done defensively which is supposed to be his area of strength and we are squandering the best QB in franchise history if no changes are made .

That was probably one of my top 5 least enjoyable bills game i can remember it had no buisness being this close.

The tackling probably goes hand in hand with the way they play defense . The bills run one of the most conservative defensive schemes in the league. Just watch the way the 49ers aggresively fly to the ball we seem to always be relying on milano or edmunds to make the perfect tackle when they miss its bye bye

Elway had an absolute bazooka of an arm and i agree he played in the wrong era

Gabe has Been the biggest dissapoontment on the bills this season..he was supposed to take the next step and he's been a liability horrendous catch percentage and inability to get open consistently

Honestly seems like at this point the loss of daboll is huge for allen accountability wise . He was the coach that would rip into him and hold him accountable for poor reads or throws.

Lets goo!!

Not even just the producers..alot of voices in his ear im sure had an impact . Brent musberger kept telling him to stop the play prediction thing . And other broadcasters kept saying he kept interrupting nantz.

Pathetic decision by mcdermott..last possession we were helped by two drops by tampas receiving core...its simple math ita already a two possession game tampa gets a fg here its a marathon to come back they get a td its over ..

He did lol he had a meltdown

Agree completely on your point about the wind ..while it does neutralize the opponent..it neutralizes us just as much or more ..we have an explosive passing attack and are probably going to be a volume passing team for the next decade probably ....when they are building they should probably take that into deep consideration.

Horrendous tackling my god

I think there's merit to this discussion. Daboll does need to do a better job getting this offence into rhythm..he calls too many plays early looking for explosive chunk plays ...that works when you have excellent protection like Josh did in game 1-4 but when you don't connect you get quickly into 3rd and longs and quick 3 n outs... the second half of this game was far more balanced with more quick reads off of rpos..sometimes it's okay to take a 6 yard gain . The defence is obviously not as stout as we expected entering the season so our best bet is to keep the ball as much as possible.

Donno why Josh is locking on to diggs tonight he's been doing a great job of going through his progressions ..weird

Good Read...what I took from the article I already knew..Josh has a solid foundation to build on he's not the first or last qb to come out with erratic footwork or arm slots watch mahomes in college his footwork was atrocious .... ....the mechanical tweaking is really something all qbs go through..his mechanics will become more consistent with repetition and mastery of the mental aspects of being a qb. Josh's mechanics often fall apart because he doesn't trust what he sees completely yet...and the protection around him hasn't been ideal ..when he knows what he's doing pre snap and trusts where he's going with the football which will happen his true accuracy will go up and so will his completion percentage...he's already made great strides..

Yet another wannabe power hungry coach from the Belichick tree ...these guys try to emulate his brash personality without the success behind it..bill and Nick Saban another belichikian type get away with treating players like crap because of their immense success...O'Brien and soon to be Patricia are just poor imitations

Shaq scares me due to commitment questions once he's paid ..Phillips is the one I'd let go for sure if the price isn't right. He's a very good rotational piece but his production numbers aren't as impactful as his play an overpay wud be a huge mistake .

One thing that stands out to me watching these games is the bills offensive line has along way to get Jackson has an eternity to throw compared to Josh .

Shows u how bad a coach Adam gase really is

I thought Metcalf was going to be a good pro ..some people harped on his combine agility numbers but I thought he would be a Dez Bryant 3 route type of wr slants verticals comebacks none which require great agility . He has superb speed and size .

Daboll at times like the first quarter calls the game the way that meshes best with Allen's play style ...I don't know why we continually go away from that and go back to empty sets where Allen has to scan the field it's not a strength at this stage of his career ..I've said this before I just think he's the wrong oc for Allen if u want to get the most out of him you need to design an offence for him the way the Ravens have with Jackson ..trying to turn him into a disciplined pocket passer who makes the correct reads against exotic blitzes is when he does things like pirouettes into massive sacks and etc .
