Lots of creative packages - multiple tight end sets, misdirection runs, rpo concepts. He had to abandon them precisely because our lack of talent could not execute. They have massively simplified the gameplans the last two weeks. Everything is half-field read, lots of 21personnel, pared back pre-snap movement. And our collection of misfits, a rookie QB and our 1 actual talent is hardly executing that any better. And obviously way too complicated for a rookie QB to handle, or even for the limited talent on the line, WR corps. Things should have been simplified from the very start with a freaking rookie QB. So many Bills fans have been saying that the offense has been far too complex for a rookie QB to execute especially when he finds himself behind in points, with no run game and the entire offense now placed on his shoulders. Bill Parcells would go over the offensive game plan each week and throw away all but around 25 offensive plays and he would tell them work on those until you get them right. Running the ball and playing great defense worked then and it can work in todays game. The thing is you can't have so many screw ups with penalties and botched special teams and that's on coaching. 12 penalties for 112 yards is drive killing and damn well ridiculous, that is on coaching. These are highly paid professional players that shouldn't be making stupid mental mistakes with penalties over and over to kill drives. McD needs to break a foot off on some of these coaches. He should make them work it until they get it right! This offensive coaching staff sucks as bad as the player talent on offense. Except the coaching staff has no elite coach like the Bills have in a player like McCoy who has been underutilized all year so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, I think we should differentiate slightly between "coaching" and playcalling and scheme. Can the coaching be better? Definitely. Is the scheme the reason the offense sucks? It is part of it, sure. But a very small part compared to talent deficiency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livinginthepast Posted October 17, 2018 Share Posted October 17, 2018 Yes the lack of talent is huge on this team but that should be clearly obvious to all concerned. The coaches game plan should be adjusted to who is on the field and not vice versa. In the Minni game the offense executed things really well but all the other games it looked like Daboll tried things which were too complicated for Allen and Peterman to orchestrate. Unfortunately like so many NFL coaches Daboll is a little slow to change or simply wont adjust the game plan if things are failing. Its like these coaches are playing an old school electric football game from the 70s. Just point the players in the right direction and hope for the best.
