    From the moment the Bills made Dalton Kincaid the 25th selection in the draft, the talk was about the offense running 12-personnel as a base package. The three early dominating wins saw the Bills running in 12 (the plays were there to be made vs. the Jets too). With two pass-catching TEs, the Bills run game was developing by putting opposing LBs in no-win situations. 

     

    Dawson Knox injured his wrist vs. the Jaguars and, though he tried to play through the injury in the next 2 games, let's be real: If the injury was bad enough to require surgery, I cannot imagine he was very effective during those games. See the 4th down drop vs Pats.

     

    With the absence of Knox (along with Q-Morris being out with a high ankle), Dorsey seems to by trying to apply 12-personnel concepts to the 11-personnel sets he's forced to run. You can blame Dorsey all you want for the Bills' recent failures—he should be able to adapt back to 11-personnel better than this. But if you really want to place blame, the Bills' offensive woes nicely coincide with the absence of Dawson Knox. Hopefully, we'll be back to Dawson and 12-personnel before it's too late. 

    If we were really committing to 12 personnel, why would we only have 3 TE's on the roster, and with all of them with seemingly different skill sets? They should have had at least one other guy like Dawson in case of injury. Kincaid was slated to be a glorified slot receiver, which it seems like is a good role for him. So I don't think 12 personnel was the plan, at least not in the traditional sense, and if it was McBeane should have had a fourth TE on the roster.

    Their off-season was an epic fail. Jones should have signed for 20 and thanked god for Daboll salvaging his NFL career.  Getting blown out by Philly should have ended any thought of more than a bridge contract. After all they won only 9 games, with everything falling perfectly into place for about 7 of those. Instead Jones held the franchise over a barrel for a near max contract. To add to the mess Schoen allowed himself to get pushed around by someone with no leverage. All the giants needed to do was sign Barkley for 2 years, then franchise jones as the 1 year bridge, and they would have been 30-40 million better off than they are right now. 

    All can be made better by picking the right qb during the draft. If they don't, might be done after three years.

    He threw the ball 65 yards in the air in the first half.

    Yeah, but I don't think the throwing action is too effected, at least it hasn't seemed to be over the last few games. He doesn't want to take a hit, but might get more desperate as the game goes on and we're down.
