90sBills

I don’t think they’re being bad on purpose. I think they want a balance ball control type offense. It has been working for a year plus. Agree that the receivers are not good enough right now.

I agree about Allen. Playing KC brings the best out of him. Unfortunately, playing Bills also brings the best out of Mahomes. Hoping for a good competitive game.

Of course we can win games. But winning the Super Bowl? I don’t think so anymore if nothing changes.

Not as effectively. Hence all the passing struggles. Unless you think the problem is Allen like what this thread suggests? I think Allen can be better but it’s more on the receivers and scheme.

Worthy can take defenders away from the middle part of the field where Rice and Kelce operate. Can you imagine Coleman clearing anything out? His guy could probably guard him and help out on another route. It’s not all about stats. That’s the type of scheming that our offense doesn’t have.

The receivers from 2 yrs ago were not better for sure. MVS, Toney and Sky Moore were starters. Last year they had this group with Rice, Worthy and Hollywood. Injuries wiped them out last year. This is the first time they’ve played together and you can see it’s lights years better than what the Bills have. Coleman would not be on Reid’s team. Speed is essential in his offense.

Ok…I’m not sure what that has anything to do our discussion. We were talking about how we ended with this underperforming receiving corp right?

I think they are. No matter how great Reid is as a play caller and designer they were pedestrian last year when their receivers were injured. Look how dynamic they are now. The big difference is speed. It doesn’t seem like Bills coaching staff values or know how to use speed.

I’m no expert but I would surmise that hands are the root cause of holding penalties.

That logic would hold more weight if it weren’t for the team coming in to OP this weekend. They draft later than the Bills and somehow managed to field some pretty good receivers. I don’t think it’s a salary cap or draft position issue. I think it’s a talent evaluation issue. They have brought guys in via drafts and free agency. They’ve just missed more than hit.

Oh I get it. You’re going to see more and more teams sell out to stop the run. Make Allen and the passing game beat them. That’s just a crazy notion with an elite qb. I think this will be KC’s gameplan this weekend. Similar to how they shut down Detroit’s high power offense.

Yes it did. They shut down that high power offense. I don’t get all the comments about blowing out KC. It’s going to be a tough game. Allen needs to ball out.

It was the success they had with this philosophy after they fired Dorsey and elevated Brady. Brady took the ball out of Allen’s hands by leaning on the run and the offense thrived. They continued that last year with even greater success. This is the way according to Brady/McD.

They’re going to sell out to stop the run like how they played Detroit.

Hunt is great for picking up the short yardage stuffs. I don’t think he has the stamina to be featured at this age. That rookie Smith might get more looks. Expect a lot of screens and short routes that would augment the run game.
