Big C Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Wow, very in depth, but as a Bills fan those playcalls were quite familiar. Everyone I was with was yelling about the 1st and 2nd down runs leading to 3rd and 8. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Foles is a backup but he also has a ton of playing experience and seems to really be clicking in that offense. Also, the vibe around the Eagles is amazing. Wentz is Foles' biggest cheerleader. Those guys are dialed in. Unlike the Jaguars, the Eagles have an innovative and top scoring offense to go with their D. Jacksonville has that yesterday and that game isn't even close. Like the Jaguars, the Eagles pressure with 4 and get there a lot. The Eagles are so deep on offense it's crazy. When it's time to pound the rock they have an amazing OL and Blount and Ajayi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Yeh, solid analysis. I watched the first half in awe of how much Hackett's playcalling and situational awareness had improved, then the second half wore on and I said to myself 'yep, that's the OC I remember.' 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did he even play yesterday? No stats in the box score.

freeagentqb Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Hacketts offense is so predictable. First down is always that exaggerated handoff from the shotgun with very little gain. He throws away first down every series. Truly hated his playcalling when he was in Buffalo and see that he hasn't changed at all. So happy he's gone.

That would be a real shame, they were lights out on offense in the first half. What I took from that game was New England's defense is NOT good. So you don't need to turtle against them with a lead, stay aggressive and give your defense a chance to pin their ears back as time gets short. Once Jacksonville went passive on offense it gave the initiative back to the Pats offense, which in turn made the Jags defense reactionary and wore them down...and it all trickled back to crap playcalling and not understanding the flow of the game. All too familiar with a Marrone/Hackett unit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the first half in awe of how much Hackett's playcalling and situational awareness had improved, then the second half wore on and I said to myself 'yep, that's the OC I remember.' Same here. Was also very similar to the Bills' attempts to hold leads this year. In both cases, it's hard to truly know how much of that is on the playcaller (Hackett/Rico) and how much is on the conservative head coach (Marrone/McDermott). For me, the damning part is not being conservative, it's being hyper-predictable. Every 1st down for the Jags was a run from shotgun. If those were working, that's okay, but they weren't. So do something else. If a coach can only protect a lead with players that get him 4 yards a carry even when the defense knows it's coming, that coach is worthless at protecting leads. You or I could win in that situation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I attribute that to more Marrone's conservative nature than Hackett. I remember when they were coaching for the Bills, players would say they had all these plays drawn up and how creative Hackett was but then they never ended up using these plays they practiced during the game. I question how much play calling power Hackett has to begin with. Edited January 22, 2018 by billieve420 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chuck Wagon Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 The Jags and Falcons offenses (rightfully) take a ton of blame for the Super Bowl and AFC title game, but when are really good defenses going to stop giving Brady these prevent D's in late game situations? The Jags looked like they had the Pats O figured out, the Pats were going to several trick plays to try to gain chunks of yardage, then the defense just backed down and let Brady do his work with guys underneath. If Brady beats you on a 50 yard bomb it's one thing, but you can't sit back and let him get 3-5 yards a play and hope he screws up, because he will not. It was similar in the Super Bowl, Brady was getting hit over and over again, then the Falcons switched to prevent D and let him kill them with a thousand James White passes.

BillsFan130 Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 (edited) Ouch. That’s rough Hackett 9 minutes ago, ScottLaw said: Wait so you want to try and run the clock out with 14 minutes left in the 4th? Extremely overly critical IMO. Getting on the guy for snapping the ball with 8 seconds left on the play clock with over 13 minutes left in the 4th is extreme. Under 5 minutes up 3 I get. It’s a little critical for sure, but there’s no need to snap it with 13 seconds left. Especially when you have Tom Brady on the other side. Not saying you have to snap it at 1, but should be around 5 seconds. Got to shorten the game as much as you can when you play great QBs It can mean the difference of an extra possession for them Edited January 22, 2018 by billsfan11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malazan Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 This is something I worry about with McDermott. Seems like we did the same thing type of thing this year in 2nd halves. It's been showing that to beat Brady you be aggressive. Teams keep doing this and then they stop...Oh, we got 10-14 points of them...now we slow them down by playing a different defense than what got us 10-14 points up on them...this plan could only come from a Very Stable Genius!

Bleeding Bills Blue Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 Not sure the clock actually hurt them there. Patriots took the lead with what... 3 minutes left? You would've run the clock out on yourself. You have to go into that 4th quarter knowing you need to score points. FG is a win, a TD can probably ice it.

You could really tell that they didn't have the playmakers to make any plays in man coverage though. They played more man, and more pressure in the 2nd half. Bortles wasn't getting those lanes to take off and run that he had the last 2 weeks, and he was off just enough to miss a bunch of opportunities.

Chuck Wagon Posted January 22, 2018 Share Posted January 22, 2018 I do wonder what happens if DD Westbrook doesn't fall down on the play he burnt Gilmore on. It gained 29 yards with him getting back up and running, but if he doesn't slip it could have been one on one against a safety in the open field for him.

In the 4th quarter the motion timing was bad, they didnt do much under center either where its easier to get them on a misdirection, or get a reverse going.
