Coach Tuesday

Settle is so bad

Too often on special teams things happen TO the Bills instead of the opposite.

A crime is being committed.

Now I want a criminal investigation opened on these officials. I’m serious.

I’m never one to distrust or blame the refs but… Today is different. Something is going on.

Beane? This team isn’t fighting for its coach’s job, that much is clear so far today.

This team just isn’t particularly focused or prepared week in and week out. Nor do they seem to be trying to save their coach’s job today, but there’s a lot of game left.

I mean there is literally a term for this, where do you think Monday Morning Quarterbacking came from? 🤣🤣

I bet you drive a pickup truck with a Calvin peeing decal.

Two back surgeries in the last year, yes?

Again: most of these teams are owned by family offices, which, if you’ve ever worked with them, you know how dysfunctional they are. Basically they’re inbred businesses. Totally backwards-thinking, reactionary, clueless, unaccountable. The type of business that puts out a slideshow with “preserve our lifestyle” as a stated goal, with a picture of a yacht. They’re all bad - it’s just a matter of degree.

Yeah Davis made Johnson’s TD happen almost single-handedly. On the Cook TD, I thought Diggs easily could’ve been flagged.

The Residents don’t suck but demand an amount of patience beyond what 99% of music listeners can provide. They are more expression than music. The Replacements either suck terribly or rock your earballs, depending on what night you got to see them. The Rembrandts - no opinion. They’re irrelevant. As for the Ruttles, I saw them once, not on purpose and never again. I would characterize them as “anthropological.” Did not enjoy.

Holy CRAP that is what Rob Boras sounds like? THAT DUDE should be the one mic’d up every single week. Also, watching this, Knox needs to come back so that Kincaid can be moved farther away from the trash inside near the LOS. He’s too valuable to be doing so much dirty work, he’ll get rolled up on eventually. Gotta protect that asset.

You refer to the motion as “window dressing” but from what I could tell, they were actually using the information they got from the defense as a result of it, which seemed to be an issue under Dorsey.

He looks like he lost weight and got quicker.

I see you’ve got family in town for the holidays. Good luck!

Cool post.

It may be as simple as Allen needing to better understand the WHYs. Allen's generation doesn't like to work for the sake of working - they want to understand why they're being asked to do something. You need them to understand the goal and how the work relates to that goal in order to get their buy-in. Maybe Brady can do a better job explaining to Allen the various WHYs, why we need to study tendencies on film all week, why we need to take the dump-offs for the first few quarters until the safeties move up, why we are running specific plays at specific times etc. If Allen feels like he's "just running the plays that are called" and doesn't understand or believe in the WHYs, he's simply not going to be close to his best self. Just a theory.

Maybe Erik’s best video.

I was pleased with the simplicity of the play calls and the fact that it seemed like there were actual plays, not just rules keyed off of what the defense was doing. The offense as a whole was doing too much thinking on the fly under Dorsey, and for whatever reason (probably a variety of reasons) it wasn't working. Yesterday it seemed like actual plays were being called to target specific situations. They still have a lot of work to do with their redzone offense, where everything is compressed and execution needs to be tighter. And none of the playcalls would've mattered if the offensive line wasn't winning at the LOS yesterday which for the most part they were - it was an impressive show of strength against a great front seven.

They won both lines of scrimmage. Basically it’s that simple.

What’s happening in Gaza is Allen’s fault, too.

Zero percent chance of that. Opening a new stadium and you’re gonna sell fans McD instead of JA17?
