bills11 Posted September 30, 2018 Share Posted September 30, 2018 Dabolls play calling has been abysmal to say the least . Other than the Vikings game he's not helping Allen with his playcalling..why so many passes called given our personnel ..giving McCoy only 5 touches is unnaceptable. The Packers were sending a variety of blitzes all game and Allen isnt there yet when it comes to blitz recognition and knowing his hots so he has to call plays to reduce the pressure well timed screens for example 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In New England when they're getting blitzed they throw screens and wr screens it's the staple I would think daboll would have incorporated those things Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CSBill Posted October 1, 2018 Share Posted October 1, 2018 What did the best QB in the game today do all game long? The answer: quick release plays/throws, such as wide receiver screens, regular screens, quick slants, and running the ball to balance the attack. What did the team on the other side do to the rookie QB behind an awful online? The answer: drop back five steps or more every pass play--and then duck and run because you're online can even slow them down. Add in about 10 run plays and no quality WRs, and what do you have? Nothing! = 0 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even if they're stacking up against the run and daring us to throw, we still have to try to run on first and/or second down when our QB is very clearly having a rough day (Allen's early passes all sailed high - he just wasn't "on" early in the game). The other thing that infuriates me is the number of read options and QB draws that Daboll calls. This isn't the University of Alabama. In the NFL that sort of stuff gets your QB killed. One other play call bothered the crap out of me... we had a 4th and 1 in the first half and Daboll ran a play that called for uber-slow Vlad Ducasse to pull around to the right side. Ducasse can barely move and that play ended up a completely disaster. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted January 4, 2019 Share Posted January 4, 2019 (edited) Huge praise for Daboll on how the play calling changed/evolved 5. How a rising Josh Allen lifts all boats Quote About a month ago, I wrote about how Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen is changing some skeptical minds. That narrative has seemed to catch on since then, as Allen has continued to show off his athleticism, arm strength and playmaking ability over the past six weeks, culminating in a scintillating performance against Miami on Sunday that netted him the AFC’s Offensive Player of the Week award. Allen lit the Dolphins up in the Bills’ 42-17 win, completing 17 of 26 passes for 224 yards, three touchdowns and an interception while also rushing nine times for 95 yards and two scores. At times, the 6-foot-5, 237-pounder looked like the best player on the field, one who stands to get only better (given his rawness as a passer). So for all the criticism the Bills took for selecting Allen seventh overall in the 2018 NFL draft despite his inconsistent college tape, it appears Buffalo made the right move. One overlooked aspect of this is how the Bills have managed to maximize his strengths — a rare combination of size, athleticism and arm strength — all while generally minimizing his weaknesses (reading the field and throwing with accuracy). And that’s where offensive coordinator Brian Daboll comes in. The Bills finished 2018 ranked 31st in passing offense and 30th in passing offense, but those numbers don’t really reflect the growth Buffalo showed under Allen late in the season. In his final six starts, the Bills — who finished 6-10 — went 3-3 as Allen completed 52 percent of his passes for 1,242 yards, eight touchdowns and seven interception, all while adding 476 yards and five touchdowns on the ground. What’s more, the Bills’ offense — which could use some reinforcements at various positions this offseason, by the way — averaged 348 total yards per game, which would have ranked 20th over the course of an entire season, all while surrendering only seven sacks during that timeframe. Not too bad considering where they started the season — losing to Baltimore 47-3 with the likes of Nathan Peterman under center — and much of that can be attributed to the boot-heavy, play-action-rampant scheme Daboll has relied upon since Allen returned from an elbow injury in late November, all with the goal of freezing defenders to create windows for Allen to throw to. Check out these four plays below from the Bills’ win over Miami, for example: https://sports.yahoo.com/dak-prescott-needed-extra-work-week-17-plus-wild-card-observations-020807449.html Edited January 4, 2019 by YoloinOhio 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
