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?

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.

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.

I have more faith in a rookie making less errors than Yeldon or Singletary.

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.

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.

The Allen run to left is a classic play the QB is supposed to read the D at the line and audible if necessary. Allen should have counted the men in box and what side of field they were on. If you look at the other side of field, they are setting up for a WR screen because that is the 3rd option on play. When counting the men, Allen would have quickly released he could have got the first on just throwing it out to the WR quickly. This is classic madden type stuff. Daboll did not have his best game, but running too much was not the issues. Allen needed to read the field better.

Let's also be honest with ourselves and notice that this D was best when Milano was a rotational player. When Milano was playing just 3rd downs, and Klein was playing the majority, this D was rocking. The D stunk early on when Milano was healthy, he got injuried, AJ was used wrong, and it struggled. Klein used as a north-south LB and Milano plays on 3rd down, this D was great.

What screw ups? I was talking about the sheer number 11. Those 11 runs, are all not strictly called run plays by Daboll.

There was way more than 1 play. He jumped Offside in first half which resulted in a huge free play to Indy. Got beat by Hines and 2 and 8 in redzone. 3 and 7 first drive for Indy in 2nd half, blitz in wrong lane 3 and 6 same drive, easily handled by RB on blitz Pasquel TD he is clueless. What the heck was he doing? 3rd and 7 next possession, get burned by TE bad Doyle TD, again what is Milano doing?? Guarding no one on sideline while Doyle goes upfield. There wasn't a Indy player within 10 yards on Milano, and the closet one was Doyle. 3rd and 5 on last drive, beat again which allows a 4th and 1

Josh was averaging close to 5 yards a run and not all his runs are considered called runs. A lot are RPOs were josh makes the call, not Daboll.

Our RBs had 10 carries the entire game...... That is not running the ball too much.

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. Get this guy out of here. Zero concept of game management.

This team is too conservative to play Williams. They will play Yeldon and he will get maybe 3 touches.

No we don't. Second year in a row where Brown just doesn't show up in playoffs. Starting to really think he is gone next season.

I'm not sure I have ever seen a worse performance from a LB. Every single play the Bills were beat on was because of him. The guy was blitzing the wrong lane, missing tackles, not staying with his man in coverage, and consistently out of position. They needed to make the switch early to go to Klein and Milano should have been glued to bench.

Need to bring in someone from the outside. This team doesn't have the experience necessary currently on staff. Ken Dorsey - Absolutely not. The guy has zero experience calling plays or drawing up plays. It takes a lot more than just calling plays that Daboll put in. You have to constantly adapt. Chad Hall - This can't be serious. The guy is 2 years removed from being pretty much an intern. Talk about a disaster waiting to happen promoting a guy that has so little experience. You have the most attractive position in football right now, you need to bring in some creative with designs. Couple names: Jeff Lebby Shane Waldron Shane Steichen My perference would be Lebby. A ton of experience with extremely successful offense and really creative calls.

If Daboll gets hired by someone, give me Shane Steichen for OC. The guy has been a gem since taking over.

If Bills beat Miami and Pitt, Tenn, Indy, and Balt win, we would play Miami in the first playoff game, with Tua. Best Case IMO
