Great coach. Bad GM.
That’s the truth. They have missed so much it’s almost comical, but the scheme and Brady covered a lot for him.

No one in their right mind would debate who was greater for the Bulls success, Phil Jackson or Michael Jordan and it’s the same situation here. The coach calls the plays, incorporates the schemes, but it’s on the players to execute. A coach’s greatness is directly influenced by who they have on the field/court. Belichick is a great coach, but take away his Brady years and he’s nowhere near the conversation for “greatest head coach of all time.” He needed arguably the greatest QB of all time to birth that legacy.
Phil was smart enough to not coach again without a stacked roster and some of the very best players ever on his roster. Phil = way smarter than BB.

Craziest part for me is that this was by far the least I was interested in any Bills draft draft MAYBE in my life, picking so low. Then we snag a guy really with unlimited potential in this league. Is this what having a good front office feels like haha Beane proli finds a $100 bill every time he opens the dryer
I’m with you, I wasn’t excited about the draft and I wasn’t all that excited by the pick, even though I understood why they went DE. He’s been way better than I expected.
Basham? I hope he’s making strides on the inactive list, that’s a disappointing use of a 2nd round pick so far.

The thing that was great about him his whole career in college had been his work ethic and ability to improve, this is just his next progression. I’ll admit, the jump he’s made this year is really surprising in comparison to the player we saw last year. He’s actually an impact player out there now. He’s not quite “there” yet, but he’s a top of the rotation player. He’s making the choice to let the Vets walk next year really easy.

I’ll say it like this, I was more concerned when Brissett came in.

If LJ was actually a QB, the Ravens would be leading by at least a TD.

I'm conflicted. I hate both teams... But I guess a KC loss helps us in the long run more than a Baltimore loss does.
Why can't they both lose?
As of right now, There’s a chance the Bills would beat the Ravens, zero shot against the Chiefs right now.. let’s hope the balls bounce the right way.

Groot is doing a great job shedding blocks and is fantastic at setting the edge, then taking down the runner, genuinely impressive for a young player, forget about the fact he didn’t play last year and is up against NFL competition now. He’s been a difference maker.
AJE, looking really good, more flash than I expected this year, he’s LOOKING like he could be the best DE on the team for now (I think Groot will own that title), it’s an impressive transformation.
Just being real Addison is looking really good early in the year, which he did last year too, hope he can keep it going all year.

The averages get deceiving when you have a handful of gray beards on the team. The Beane draft classes better come on in a big way or this team is in big trouble.

As a rookie in his first game, he was fine, the sad part is, he was the best we have seen across from Jerry in a long time and he basically graded out as a replacement player lol.
He had some reasonable pressure, made one really great play on the run early as he forced it inside and shed the blocker to make the tackle for minimum gain. Really good to see those instincts and ability as a rookie. Overall, I see exactly why they took him.
OTOH, Basham was invisible all day, it’s like he wasn’t even active 🤮

I do think they showed the instinct last season, the difference is they got their ass kicked the last 2 times they played. The O-line kinda sucks and the whole success of the offense lies 100% on Allen, if he isn’t on fire, they get smoked. That’s the formula many teams with Great QBs have failed with. You have to build a real team around a great QB for any kind of success. Thus far, it’s the Allen and Diggs show and not much else. Until the line can hold up against more than one decent pass rusher on the opposing team, it’s going to be tough. The Steelers are pretty loaded and they OWNED the line. Doesn’t matter how much killer instinct you have when you are getting run over.

It was an awful play call regardless of the execution.

One other thing not mentioned yet in this thread: why do they keep bringing Levi Wallace back as the starting CB when he has games like this? He was horrible.
He is not good enough to be starting, he got beat like a drum yesterday and it’s not the first time we have seen it from him. Not going after a corner this off season looked highly questionable and still does.

I'm always amused how similar the things are that we write. Again today. The stadium energy was amazing. Allen was off. Oliver was special.
A couple of things: I didn't have a problem on the interference call on Wallace. He had his back turned to the ball all the way and was face guarding the receiver. His momentum continued to drive downfield, and he blocked the receiver's ability to come back for the ball. It's almost classic interference - it's a free ball, and if Wallace turns and finds the ball to make a play, it's okay. But he didn't; all he did was interfere with the receiver's ability to make a play. I think the official nearest the play couldn't see much more than the receiver's back, so he properly didn't call anything. The official trailing the play couldn't see the contact, but she could see that Wallace never made a play on the ball. I think it's often the case that when an official that far away makes the call, it's mostly a guess. In this case, she guessed right.
The call I wanted to see again was the hold on White that negated his INT. On the replay, it looked to me like one of those plays where there was incidental contact, probably initiated by the receiver. White stood his ground, took the contact, then made a much better play on the ball that the receiver did.
Whatever. The officials had pretty much nothing to do with the outcome.
The Wallace PI call was interference, there’s no arguing it, he never played the ball and hit the receiver, can’t do it. The White holding call looked suspect at best.

That’s overly harsh, after all it is a game, and not real life, I maintain that you are mistaken in your assessment of Singletary, he not Thurmond Thomas for sure, but he is a good RB who is chronically misused by s guy who doesn’t know how to use RBs in his offensive schemes, it’s only one game, and it will act as a wake up call imo,
that and I never referred to BD as a loser, that’s your verbiage not mine.
Go Bills!!!
Oh I take full responsibility for calling Daboll a loser, his history shows as much, the only time he has ever done anything is with top 5 QBs and generally he excels vs weaker competition. Against D’s that don’t suck, even with great QBs, he’s always struggled, but his QB play has managed to cover him. The playoffs and as well as every game against top flight D’s, like today, exposed him.

You are incorrect, no really, you are, Dabol’s one failing is that he has no functioning idea how to integrate a run game into his offensive schemes, over the last three years he has shown this to be so.
As an example;
Singletary had just picked up back to back first downs on run plays, of 12 & 15 yards iirc, and put us well into the red zone, then Dabs calls a run play for Allen when Singletary was so obviously the hot hand and very likely to score a TD during that series of downs. Singletary was running in contact traffic much better than Allen was during the game.
A Pass only offense is an one dimensional offense and is relatively easy to defend against especially when your OC doesn’t know when to use his RBs, this game showed this to be so.
Go Bills!!!
I don’t disagree that Daboll is a loser masked by great QBs, but that’s still not making Singletary a good back.

What do you mean there is no running back on this team? You got a large enough sample size of Singletary to decide he can’t play?? I thought he did pretty well all things considered..
Yeah, he’s been a replacement level player for 2 years, don’t need to see more to know what he is.
-
Well I’m gonna second guess the whole game plan.

nope. our weaknesses from last year were not fixed and now greater exposed. we will be a wildcard team if that.
I will say the same weaknesses were there and they were exposed more today. Wallace is awful, with the occasional play made, except none came today. The line still is getting no pressure vs a brand new line. The OL got it handed to them. There’s still no RB on this team. Annnd there’s punting issues AGAIN.
This team didn’t come to play, they sucked today.

As he should be.
Yeah, he looked solid in preseason. Maybe it’s part of why Singletary rocked up too, his height should make him hard to find and he could bull it in too.

Pretty surprised honestly, guess Gilliam is really going to be the goal line hammer.

Yeah, but when is Josh going to finally have a 500 yard game, he still hasn't had one yet.
I know, it’s really disappointing.
14 hours ago, Blainorama5 said:Absolutely!!! I am VERY aware of that these days as well. When I see most other QBs passes, they just look slower - even when you can tell they're trying to throw hard. Some folks call it arm arrogance - whatever - I call it Awesome!!! So much fun to watch!
100% Agree! That's his killer desire-to-win attitude.
Allen’s arm is some next level stuff. Brady still zings it really well and insanely accurate, so impressive, especially at 56 years old.

That commercial is awesome.

So imagine if you will, your defense has to cover the most productive WR in the NFL last year, 2 other 1000 yard WRS (I’m giving it to Beas for last year) who thrive in the middle of the field, but who can both go outside, and a 2nd year guy who’s 6’-2” with 4.5 speed that’s already coming off a 600 yard rookie season.. oh amd
everybody else…
WTF do you do?

Which is exactly what they did after the Arizona game…. Finally, they didn’t take their foot of the gas.(something a lot of people were screaming for them to do instead of constantly going into a shell) and it paid huge dividends….. some people are suggesting the games will be lower scoring this year because the defense will be better and the Bills will run it more in the 2nd half of games…. ***** that, why change what worked so well down the stretch last season? Keep the pedal down and blowing teams out.
Amen, I say make sure the game is out of reach for the opponent, don’t mess around. I want to see the Patriot mentality, be up by 21 in the 4th with 10 mins to go before you even consider taking out your QB and primary weapons. Every game counts, bury them.

Davis Webb dropping dimes!
Zach Moss needs to be the lead back
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
Moss misses a lot of opportunities to get more yards, he’s very frustrating to watch, I think the reason he got benched early this year, is his lack of vision. Motor is better in regards of seeing the openings and going for them. The thing we need is a hybrid of the 2 of them, give me Motor’s moves and vision, and Moss’ size and hard nose running.
