Indy was up 20-9 in the 4th. The last running play was with 14 min left in the game. Every play after that was a passing play. KC tied game as clock expired. Almost like Indy wanted KC to have a chance at the end…

I saw better play design and play calling in the Saturday college games. Some from low level teams at that. The Bills O has become extremely simple and predicteable. There is no space. The off script stuff has the most success in the passing game. The only quick pass is the wr screen. No quick slants or outs.

NFL scripting colts to lose? Why would they come out throwing?

They learned quicker than us and didn’t waste a 1st rounder.

It ranks as luck more than anything else. Exciting Bills drive but not anything special in terms of Allen.

We already see small signs of slowing and ability to break tackles. Just the reality of aging. He is still in the top of the QB group in terms of mobility, but each year that will slightly change. I have zero confidence in our current coaching staff to be able to adjust a system for an Allen 2.0 version that cannot do the same stuff he does today.

0 sacks and 4 QB hits and HOU passed more than they ran... HOU had 8 sacks and 12 QB hits in comparison Tackles for loss - HOU 11 vs BUF 3

Funny posts from Panthers board years ago on why Brady was fired...sound familiar? Brady seemed to run a very simple and predictable offense. Similarly to Reich, I felt like we never ran RPO, rubs, double moves, motion. No creativity and teams seemed to know what was coming. But I also think he was a scapegoat for the Rhule era, a bit. I am not convinced that Rhule allowed Brady to run his full offense. I liked Brady in 2020. He was the first actual OC we'd had in years. He schemed receivers open. He beat blitzes with quick routes. He wore down defenses without using an MVP quarterback to do the wearing down. Then 2021 happened. I honestly think he wanted out. That offense was putrid. It wasn't designed to move the ball. We won some games early on because our defense was shutting people down and nobody told our offense they were supposed to be bad. Then sometime after week 3, we were running an offense that resembled high school football. Granted, it would've been a very high level high school football team, but it still wasn't professional level football. I honestly can't describe it; its like everyone knew what we were doing pre-snap and it was the most basic of plays. It honestly looked like sabotage to me. I believe Brady wanted out of the Rhule mistake. I didn’t hate Brady really…he just…ugh, was so predictable! Bro called screens like at least twice a drive if I remember correctly. The screens would gain 1 yard max Teddy would throw a checkdown behind the line of scrimmage on 4th and 8 with 13 seconds left in the fourth quarter, down by 4 at the opponent 25 yard line. He had 27 games to learn on the job honestly. His scripted opening was pretty decent but then it came time to call plays on the fly and he just fell apart. Don't hate the guy but his offensive scheme wasn't a good fit for Rhule's power run vision (regardless if you liked Rhule) and he kept making the same mistakes. He shouldn't have been hired as a OC with such little experience in building a program in the first place, the guy only called red zone plays at LSU.

And we help making it worse by running all the bunch sets. Why we refuse to spread the field is beyond me. Its like they want the other time to have the option of rushing any of 11 guys and on run plays our guys have to block all these guys. Spread it out and at least limit what the D can do. I think Brady has gotten so obsessed about turning WR's/TE's into run blockers.

Brady is more like the guy everyone saw at CAR than at LSU. Without Allen the Bills are one of the worst O's in the league with his scheme.

Byron Leftwich as passing game coordinator? He was a hot commodity for a bit. Fresh set of eyes cant hurt.

Knox contract says it all. He was paid a top TE contract. Which he never was. Then we draft a TE in the 1st round of the following draft. Then we trade Diggs and replace him with a stable of $10M JAG's. That was Beane's plan with the O.

Unpopular take because Allen is the best player on the field. But there is something up. Whether its Brady and the talent around him or Allen himself its hard to say...chicken or egg sort of thing. But Allen is doing things he hasnt done for a long time. Taking 18 yard sacks, throwing balls where he cant see, missing easy throws because either his clock is off or his feet are. What I am wondering is if Allen is not putting in the work on non game days. Is he studying the same way he has the past few years that allowed him to recognize and adjust the plays or OL calls? Is his body, while still a beast, not as able to break tackles and out run guys because he has scaled back some of the extra work? We dont know that stuff.

And essentially getting a clean get off because we continue to hike the ball at 1 on the play clock. When the edges are just jumping the count you have to switch it up. This is a freaking basic concept but Brady will not adjust.

I dont think they can fire him at this point uintil the off-season. My hope is maybe they can hire an special asst to the offense or something along those lines. No idea who that person could be but an other brain getting involved in this O is desperately needed.
