    What are the Bills biggest areas of depth and need heading in the off-season?

    totally agree.  

     

    One thought:  Given the OL and what it means to team success, I would not be opposed to adding a top C/G in Rd3 to provide depth and have a young guy ready to be Allens next long term center after Morse.

     

    But WR safety and DL are l gaping holes.  I expect the draft to be some combo of WR, S, and interior DL heavy.  Hopefully two WRs at least.  

     

     

    Yup, Hopefully at least one of those WRs is a high round pick and is ready to play out of the gate.

    Core concepts of Joe Brady's offense

    You might be right but let me make some observations before asking you something.  

     

    There are two basic offensive systems in the NFL: Erhardt-Perkins and West Coast.  I've heard coaches and players say NFL teams run, more-or-less, the same plays.  So there are two basic playbooks: E-P and West Coast.  And there's a lot of overlap between the two. 

     

    Coordinators tweak and combine ideas as he feels appropriate to create his own syncretic scheme.  But no coordinator is filling a playbook with plays no one has seen before based on an offensive strategy no one has considered before.    

     

    When Kurt Warner, for example, diagnoses Bills film, he knows & understands the play he's reviewing because he ran the same play (or one very similar) when he played.  He knows what it's designed to do and how it's supposed to be executed.  

     

    So what is Brady's real offense?  What is he going to do schematically different next year that he couldn't do this year?  What plays will he use that weren't in this year's playbook?  

    It’s not so much the plays themselves, it is when in a sequence of plays that a given play is called, and what formation it is run out of, in an attempt to get the defensive to hesitate in coverage, then it comes down to execution, and the talent to pull

    it off, jmo.

    Bills interviewing Sean Desai for DC

    I love how the Rooney rule requires teams to interview candidates of color. Liberal NFL at its finest. Hire the BEST candidate not someone based on color 

    There is nothing liberal about the NFL as an organization, they do what keeps the cash rolling in, that is the sole priority, everything else is lip service. The NFL will pretend to be anything as long as the owners get richer year after year.

    In addition to satisfying the Rooney Rule in order to promote Babich, this is probably some due diligence in the event Desai doesn't get another DC job.

     

    He could come here to rebuild his value a bit like Joe Brady did. 

    Do we want to be the place were guys who are questionable come to recreate themselves, or should we be going after better quality options? Both have potential, but success breeds success…,

    I travel a lot for work, Airports, restaurants, malls. This past year I saw Bills fans everywhere where I went. Trips to LA, Phoenix, Dallas, Ft Meyers, Ft. lauderdale Miami. Every trip i went on, I got a “Go Bills” or at least saw people, multiple people representing. This week, went through DC, Baltimore airport, Charlotte, finished up in West Palm Beach today. Saw one guy with a Bills hat all week. It was like people were embarrassed that we lost to KC again. 

    But really the worst thing that made me pause was the treatment and threats to Bass. How embarrassing and really down right dirty low class. I haven’t lived in Buffalo for a long time, and this was the first year I didn’t make it back for a visit. So what’s going on up there? I would hope it was just a small sample size of fans who acted out like that, but damn they were a serious black eye on the mafia. Cant tell you how many friends and co workers mentioned how nasty Bills fans are this week, Buy the end of the eeek i just gave up defending and had to agree to a point. 

     

     

    The answer is yes we are,

    their is always the ten percent of fans that peaked maturity wise as sophomores in high school, and that’s being kind, it would be nice to neuter or spay them so as to reduce the issue going forward…,

    How did we not make a Super Bowl: 

    https://www.statmuse.com/nfl/ask/most-total-nfl-wins-last-5-years
     

    - second in wins

    - 5th in points/ game

    - 1st in points allowed/ game 

    - 3rd in first downs 

    - 2nd in 3rd down conversion %
     

    honestly, I have absolutely loved this ride. To have an amazing qb where playoffs are a given every year is such an amazing feeling. But man, a team with that resume should have made more than one championship game. 😢 


    just wanted to bum everyone out on a Saturday morning. 

    Nice thread, I would say the main culprit is scheme / play design and making adjustments on both sides of the ball, (coaches)  and a lack of difference makers / elite weapons on offense, for example, a killer #1b WR would make a gigantic difference jmo.
