Josh Allen is a different player. So much more confident what a dime

Bills or any NFL team and it wouldn't be close..Bama's o line or any in college has no chance to block an NFL defensive line this is grown men vs college kids..and college success is no guarantee of success against NFL players and technique and schemes...so many busts were college superstars.the bills would have Tua looking worse than kirk cousins he would be sacked and NFL record amount .

Show improvement in processing what he's seeing..show improved anticipation and ball placement..show improved pocket presence and patience

we could slow down the rams to an extent as in keep them under 30 pts...the chiefs aroudn that...no chance with new orleans..we have no ability to even slow down brees..it would look like the colts game just worse

The fact the coaching staff thought it was a good idea for a rookie to throw to wrs who dont get separation is hilarious to me. Mahomes literally always has a wr open on a route..tyreek hill always has seperation..kelce vs a linebacker..etc..rams always have bob woods open all the time.. kupp before injured.just like he was in buffalo we just had no qb to utilize his talents..

Cousins isn't a top 5 qb but those don't come to free agency barring unforeseen circumstances...the vikings felt they were competent qb play away from championship contention..they thought the eagles game last year was an aberration..unfortunately their defence has regressed and their o line is atrocious which is a recipe for disaster with an immobile qb. I dont think they made a mistake his contract is in line with what you pay a good qb these days..obv goff and wentz contracts will supersede the dollar amount

I will say this..I was really impressed with his mechanics and the throw to Zay in the end zone that was the best tight window throw all year. Nonetheless we may have found our long term backup that's a positive

has to be Allen the franchise has too much invested in him to not start him if he was a healthy..a situation that could have been avoided if they brought in competent qbs in training camp like bridgewater so allen could have the redshirt year he needed

His arm is ridiculous yes..just needs to harness it and learn he doesn't have to throw lasers on every pass .

There's alot of NFL scouts ..GM's front office execs..who are completely stuck in their ways and haven't adapted and the media parrot alot of it. It's like my favorite draft line I hear every year about how a qb might fail because they've never been under center ignoring how many teams literally spend nearly 80% of their snaps in shotgun. There this stigma with air raid spread qbs from the 90s when they failed because they tried to pigeon hole them into standard west coasts timing offences . Now you have coaches adapting and incorporating the concepts these qbs were comfortable with in college like bill O'Brien and Andy Reid .

Precisely. If you can collapse the pocket and get pressure up the middle it masks whatever deficiencies you have in your coverage..the Broncos were at their most dominant when they had malik Jackson collapsing the interior and Miller coming from the outside. Pressure is the difference between Pettine/shwartz as bills d coordinator vs rex..Gilmore didn't get any worse he was just exposed by having to cover forever .

Interesting read..but I don't think the premise of the article is completely correct..it's not that coordinators are using coverages from 10-15 years ago it's many other factors besides archaic play calling . It's all the rules the NFL has instituted that help increase offence and coaches are limited in what they can install defensively depending on their personnel. On offence a team has ample time to make adjustments because they decide when they snap the ball the defence can only react when you have teams coming out in spread formations ..using rpo's and motioning players all over there are very little a team can do to adjust unless they're a veteran seasoned team that has a ton of continuity. .rex had a ton of checks built into his defence for various plays and all it did was contribute to more errors..but it worked when he has continuity with players versed in his system for years in Baltimore and ny..ultimately in today's NFL it's all about pressure doesn't matter how exotic your coverages are if you aren't pressuring the qb..we've seen that first hand this year with the defence giving up 40 pts on days we fail to produce pressure and completely shutting down the Vikes and Houston. Two effective offenses. The worst the Pats have looked in the Brady era in the post season Has been against high pressure defences that collapse the pocket ..giants and Broncos . Wade Phillips was running similar stuff 10 years ago in San Diego.

Great head coaches have their fingerprints all over the team..you can still have a defensive background and be a great coach..what separates caroll and belichick from some other defensive coaches is that even tho they have a background in defence they are still very involved in the offensive aspect of their teams heavily and have input in the game plan and actively involve themselves in every phase..then you have coaches who are pretty much hands off and let the coordinators do the grunt which doesnt work if your coordinators dont perform see jason garett mcdermott and jeff fisher

i dont think hell get cut regardless..mcdermott is trying to sell that hell show continual improvement he thinks hes an nfl player

Because there was a ton of problems behind the scenes and also the fact he was hired as a defensive Mastermind and the defence was quite poor ironically it was the offence that carried him .

Dabolls offence obviously is rooted in the pats system..but it's definitely his own spin on their variant of the e.p . We don't seem to run most of their usual plays which personnel has alot to do with. I think in year 2 well see the playbook open up more because there's alot of plays daboll hasn't had a chance to run due to lack of talent

I clearly said...i dont disagree that the front office is inept..im saying we dont need this thread every couple days there's enough mahomes threads where people can voice their opinions.

how many mahomes threads are we gonna have? its seems like theres a new one everyday the bills front office is incompetent sure we passed on him lets move on cant change the past.

Yes it's terrible but it's something we're going to see time and time again ...Chip Kelly wanted his guys before that mcdaniels was so against inheriting players he drafted tebow first Rd..McDermott has a massive ego like many others .

Couldn't have put it better..it's never been easier to pass the ball then it is now yet week after we line up trying to win games like the 2000 Ravens minus the all time great defence . Since Mcbeane has been here they've completely gutted the offensive side of the ball and we've had completely unimaginative schemes..all the evidence you need is to see the transition from Jeff Fisher to mcvay .

McDermott is seeming more and more like a good defensive coordinator than head coach and there a difference . He doesn't have the team prepared often times and he neglects the other side of the ball..a great coach has his hands on every aspect of the team

Ego they feel they have their own successful system and that's the way it goes ..the great coaches don't do this tho...Belichick won the superbowl with Parcells players + Brady ..the opposite Chip Kelly traded away great talent from Eagles and failed ..its a red flag to Me if a coach wants too much power off the bat unless their established serial winners like Belichick or Andy Reid . Mcdermott/Beane created more holes on this roster due to ego.

Yeah I get that for sure . But I mean moreso that he's doing the rudimentary and basic things allen isn't ready to do yet like getting the ball out on time and seeing the field . The point is Allen isn't ready we should have had a better option then Anderson from training camp ..Anderson is merely a serviceable qb ..there were upgrades available

Anderson's play today has really put a damper on my belief in the competency of McDermott and beane . This is the first time other than the Vikings game where weve even had a remotely NFL caliber offence . Anderson is merely a serviceable qb yet he's making our other QBs look like they are so far behind the curve
