You had one in Mckenzie and he was barely used in the playoffs.
Problem is the OC, not the players available. How could anyone watch that game yesterday and think these offensive play calls are even on the same planet.
-
Would Det really go with an OC that never called plays and a HC that doesn't have play calling experience? It can't be that hard to find an OC with experience. Bring someone from College.

That dropped TD pass was the first one I ever remember Gabe not catching. It was an absolutely perfect pass from Josh, Davis was covered well by Humpries but 17 hit him in the hands. Kinda reminded me of the Miami endzone catch, definitely a stretch but catchable.
He played the rest of the game a little hobbled, I'm sure the trainers figure a full day of treatment and rest is good right now. We are now approaching a season almost twice as long as the typical college season, and these rooks can hit a wall this time of year. He's earned the rest day. No way he doesn't play Sunday.
It's also the biggest game of the season coming up and you can't take a chance Gabe may not be playing at 100%, if you have Stills at 100%. Gabe was significantly hampered on Sat, constantly limping. When you have a guy like Stills waiting, you have to be smart.

Prefect excuse to put Stills in and create a huge mismatch with speed in KC.

Other than the Dolphins game where we sat many regulars, when has McKenzie been heavily utilized?
SF they had specific plays for him that caused a ton of mismatches all over the field. Seattle was the same thing. He had a ton of movement along the line presnap there.

Hasn't McKenzie been dealing with an ankle the last couple games, Beasley hurting too has taken less snaps than usual. I think their injuries have had an effect on our play calling.
McKenzie was the scout team QB before Balt so there is no injury there.
This offense is best when McKenzie is heavily utilized.
Daboll has gone vanilla on offense in the playoffs, relying on Allen to make something out of nothing. It is has been a disappointment to say the least.
I felt like throughout the season we had the most TDs that didn't involve the QB throwing, and now we have gone extremely boring in the playoffs.
Daboll refuses to run the ball with the wind last week and Singletary's success last year vs Balt, could have very well cost him an HC job, I would agree with any team that passes over on him. He leaves a lot to be desired.

Hopefully he learns how to scheme run plays in the offseason.
Hate to break it to people, but its not the players that are the issue in the run game, its the boring schemes. Can't remember the last time I seen a lineman pull, and that is the easiest way to create a mismatch in the run game. Richie's pancake specialty while with Roman/Lynn. Would love to bring in Lynn as a run game specialist, but I'm sure he will have better offers. Lots of times the O line coach will work on scheming run plays, but unfortunately our O line coach looks like his background is in passing too.
-
That's based on PFF grades, which we all know the accuracy of those. Decent player, but Cleve's line stinks in pass protecting, including Teller.

It would be tough to turn down any HC job if it’s offered imo. You never know what will happen between now and next year. He may be in a good place to be picky/patient, but if you wait for the perfect situation you nay be waiting awhile. There’s a reason these jobs are open.
There is an argument to be made that it's better to be a coordinator on a great team, than a HC on a crap team.
I hear Daboll's more in the national media than I do Zac Taylor's name. Daboll will get a huge raise this year and is in charge of the entire offense.
Turning down a HC job isn't that big of a deal, if you are going to end up fired in 2 years anyways.

Daboll is a fake media driven false narrarive.
Nobody in the NFL wants Daboll. There is a reason why nobody wanted Daboll last offseason, and nobody wants Daboll this year once again. People in NFL circles do not think highly of him.
The media hypes/props up Daboll to hate on Allen and take credit away from him.
Yeap. Easier to give a 45 year old credit who never had a top 20 offense, than a 24 year 7th overall pick. Narrative.

As much as this is a "what have you done for me lately" league, your past history just doesn't go away.
That is why guys like Staley, LaFleur, Taylor, McVay, Campbell, Kingbury, Rhule, Stefanski, Meyer, Judge, Vrabel, and Smith all are getting hired versus guys with long resumes of ups and downs. These guys have very little coordinator/NFL experience. The more you put on tape, the more you show your flaws.

We don't have much of a running game because we don't have a #1 RB on the roster
Good coordinators make any RB look like #1 RBs. How many guys did San Fran insert in this year?

Subterfuge, Yeldon never plays we all know that, Sean is just F ing with the birds.
Go Bills!!!
That's what I'm hoping and praying. I just have this strange inclination that Williams could come in and pleasantly surprise with 100 plus, 2 TDs. A curveball that Balt didn't know how to handle after they prepared to play 6 DBs.

The way McDermott was talking about Yeldon the other day, I feel like Williams may get a legit shot. I don't understand why McDermott was being so forthright with saying Yeldon will be taking Moss's position. Why tell Balt that? Yeldon and Williams are two different types of player, why tell them who to dress and what to do on D. McDermott never gives out info, why did he there?

Do you really believe that every existing running play combination has not been done at least once in the NFL? Do you really think that OC's are creating a new running play that has never been seen before? Please provide a couple examples of absolutely new play design that has been run by an OC that was not created before this year.
When I watch KC, I see things that I have never seen before in my life. So yes, I do think offenses create new plays.
There is nothing wrong with using other teams plays, just taking credit for being innovate because you stole something is where the issue lies.

Allen had two big development needs:
1) physical - improved mechanics leading to improved accuracy
2) mental - improved ability to read the field and interpret it - in other words, it's not enough to see what the D is doing, he has to know what that means in the context of the called play or alternate.
Allen credits Daboll and Dorsey with helping him develop 2) as well as with tailoring his play design and calling to what Allen does well.
Allen, Palmer, and others he's worked with deserve credit for 1)
I'm confused why you think Josh Allen is named John
From watching Tom vs Time, a lot of the mental understanding of defenses is actually done in offseason programs.
Allen's biggest jump doing that was when offseason programs were limited from COVID.
When OCs draw up new innovate plays, especially running plays, I value that a lot more than when OCs run other teams plays when they have a QB that is able to operate those plays better than 95% of other NFL QBs. I think Daboll has severely lacked any creativity in blocking, running, and situational football. All things I would value over his, so called, "genius improvement" of Allen.

Auto-correct in phone. Sorry about that, I will edit.

I'm confused why Daboll gets so much credit for Joshua Allen's success.
Allen has always been an athletic marvel, his biggest issue has always been mechanical inconsistency. The OC does very little work on a QBs mechanics, that is left up to the QB coach, and in Josh's case, Palmer in the offseason. To me, it is no coincidence that in the offseason which had tighter rules on working with Bills coaches, Allen took the biggest leap. Palmer is incredible and Daboll is profiting off of it. Not to mention Allen's attitude has been nothing short of tremendous. The kid put in work mentally in the offseason, you see it every drive. He reads the defense so well now, and from watching Tom vs Time, that is something that is perfected in the offseason.
Daboll is pretty good at taking plays from other teams and running them here. He is very good at listening to his players. However, I think his game management is suspect and I feel like every time I hear about a great play, it's Allen reading the D and audibling into the play.
I don't know maybe I'm wrong, but it just kind of irks me when Daboll is viewed as some genius developer of Allen.

Gotta roll with the veteran.
if the rook makes a game changing error in the playoffs.. that’s unforgivable. McD knows that.
I have more faith in a rookie making less errors than Yeldon or Singletary.

you want to elaborate on this? this seems shockingly wrong.
His roster decisions have always played more to the vet, than taking risks with a more skilled player. I'll ask you this, Yeldon or Williams this week? What will McDermott do?
-
3:53 left in game, Buf on Indy 34 yard line, Singletary just had nice run, Indy 1 TO left, Bass already made 54 yarder.
Daboll goes 4 WR and 1 RB. No extra protection. This is inexcusable and has happened way too much this year.
Terrible game management, something we have seen a lot with Daboll this year.
-
We should, but McDermott won't. He's too conservative to take risks for wins.

I suspect this line will move tremendously. Easy money taking Balt moneyline and points right now. Bills can't stop this run attack from Balt.

They'll keep Smoke if all possible. He may have to restructure his contract if he wishes to stay. When healthy he's and exceptional #2 and even borderline #1. 1000k WRs are not a rarity, but they don't grow on trees either. Davis has played the part and has a bright future.
The way rookie WRs come into the league, I find it difficult to pay number 2 WR 9 million dollars. You can find number 2 WR in the draft pretty easily in 2021.

He wasn't good this year, but there isn't much out there to improve.
It stinks that Wilks took that job at Missouri. He would have been perfect.
