I agree. But a truly good coordinator could still eek out a touchdown or two every week, no? This offense is completely, utterly overmatched every single down. Some, if not a ton, of that is on Daboll. Everybody needs to quit acting like he's some "aw shucks" victim of circumstance. He's supposed to be creative, he's supposed to be adaptable, yet these qualities have been about as dormant as KB's separation. Maybe 27 games from now I guess? He sucks.

[Victory Formation]

What is there to like? I don't buy the no talent thing, he had a solid prospect in Josh Allen. Benjamin, Shady and Clay have all produced steadily throughout their careers but when Daboll gets hired all of a sudden they can't play anymore! These same guys will get cut and then blossom somewhere else, that's just the way it goes for Buffalo.

The talent is totally overmatched whoever we play. Put us against the worst D in the NFL and they have more talent than the Bills O and it is not even really that close.

Oh the irony. A friendly reminder that the current regime is solely responsible for this roster lacking talent.

 

You wanna dig deep?  Let's dig.

 

What gives you any confidence in Brian Daboll?  What, in his resume, shows that he was ever capable of orchestrating a competent NFL offense?  It certainly can't be past success since he's had none.

As fans we are all in the same boat and have to continue watching the train wreck that is an offense play out the season. Focus on a stellar defense that we have built and you can start to get a little excited for the future. Even though Luck threw for 4 tds last week he barely had any yards. Our offense is giving up more points than our defense by turnovers and bad starting field position. If Daboll can get in the personnel that he needs to run the offense next year and still sucks then we can pass judgement until then the cupboard is bare.

I actually have faith in him too and I am a critical person. I think he has a good knowledge of how to run an offense and can work it to his teams strength. I actually am starting to wonder what McDermott told him in the interview. This offense as is, is probably one of the least desirable situations to walk into. He has to have been given some sort of power with regards to personnel going forward.

[Perry Turtle]

Watching the all-22, Daboll is calling some solid plays.  Problem is with execution.  

 

It's still way early, but right now a much bigger concern than Daboll is that the Bills drafted a QB who can't even make the simplest NFL reads.

I agree there isn't much to lead you to believe Daboll is up to it. But the talent is so bad I really struggle to evaluate the job he is doing here in Buffalo. The offense they ran the first 4 weeks was pretty creative. After the team layed an egg against Green Bay they have simplified and gone to a very vanilla look. I suspect that is on McDermott's orders but for me the problem is talent. You can run misdirection run plays with complex blocking schemes or you can run simpler rushing plays with straightforward blocking. Eventually your guy has to beat their guy. It isn't happening enough. Same with route combinations for the receivers you can innovate or simplify eventually your guys has to get open and catch the ball. The problem is clearly talent to my mind. Daboll may still suck with talent. But our guys can't execute anything at all with any consistency. 

 

As for fans only hating bad OCs.... nah. Plenty hated Greg Roman too and he was pretty good. But for plenty of fans here he ran it too much, too many 3 and outs, didn't let Tyrod loose (he got the best production of Tyrod's career out of Tyrod) etc. The Bills fans will only be happy when we have a coordinator who calls 60%+ pass plays and they are almost all well executed. Which is another way of saying what they really want is a Franchise Quarterback.

I agree with you. The offense is over-matched. We have arguably the worst OL and receiving corps in the league. On top of that our qb play is less than functional. When the response is often stated that the problem is execution what is underlying that reality is that the talent on hand is incapable of  executing against the players they are going against.

I have our OL 4th worst after Houston, Arizona and Tampa. The WR is undisputably the worst in the league. Indeed it might be the worst I have ever seen in 16 years of watching this league. And yea, the QB has either been rookie errors, total ineptitude or dangerous Derek.

Actually, I am not disheartened for next year. In one offseason the Rams significantly upgraded their OL with two solid veteran additions. They also took the free agent and draft route to upgrade their receiving unit. And with an offseason to prepare after his rookie year Goff exploded on the scene. 

 

With a smart draft and judicious free agent decisions our OL and receiving unit can be significantly upgraded. Even if we don't get an authentic #1 receiver that doesn't mean that we can't get a good receiver/s who would be an upgrade. 

 

Although I'm a believer in Josh Allen I don't believe that he will develop at the pace of Goff or ever be as prolific a passer as the Ram qb. However, I do believe with an added offseason to work on his game and better players added to the offense that this unit can play at a reasonable competitive level. 

 

As it stands the Bills have a copious amount of cap space. If they have to over-pay for additional players then so be it. What's the point of having money in your pocket if you act like a miser. If you got it----use it! Being pathetic without taking some strong to correct the problem is a lame way to run a franchise. It's time to have some freaking pride and act with some urgency to address this humiliating situation.

I was thinking something similar.  Tebow could come in here and we'd have a strong running game and own time of possession.  Our weak OL would be minimized and the crap at WR wouldn't matter much anymore.

 

Not realistic at the point but fun to think about. 

[PrimeTime101]

So.. I see people evaluating our current OC Based on outcome, talent and stats. well if your evaluating a coach like this.. you have it all wrong.. well at least partly wrong. The PROPER way to evaluate an OC in this league is compare us to a team that has around the same talent as we do and see if he is doing well or not. When you do that you compare that with your weekly notes.. Has there been bad play calls? how many bad play calls solely based on execution? How many outstanding calls has he made on a week to week basis?

 

Easy right? BUZZZERRRRR wrong again. because in this situation Our Line is about the worst in the league right? and our talented position at WR is also as bad as it gets with a rookie QB to boot? what offensive system are you going to compare us to that has the same issues on line and WR and QB? you cant compare to something that isn't there. Yea someone right now as there reading this is going to come up with 2 stats from our team and there team then compare but that does not CUT IT.

 

If you want to cut him because he is not managing rookies and under average players well enough then that's great! I get it. But that's not something you will know, I will know or any retired NFL no it all on espn. they make assumptions and that's as far as it goes. NOW. that being said as fans we are making assumptions... and we all know the break down of that word blah blah blah BUT every person has that right to have that opinion and as long as its with in a suitable range of where the team is at with things then us as FANS have that right to come on here and post without getting bullied by others on these forums. this doesn't mean you should make dumb statements like "we should move on past Josh Allen and look for our next future QB" cause that's just stupid and prepare to get slammed for it.

 

some of the people on this topic especially have been over the top and YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!

 

 

again.. that being said.. I think our Offense is failing due to lack of talent/execution on and off the field. I do not blame current OC for what is going on.

 

But what do I know.. I am just a FAN.. RIGHT?

I agree.

 

Yes, the talent is somewhat lacking with the offense as the only real elite player is RB LeSean McCoy. Now, stating that, why hasn't he been used more effectively this season? The team got behind in points the first few games and the rushing attack went right out the window. Still, this doesn't explain why McCoy wasn't used in the passing scheme more often as he is probably the best receiver on the team too. 

 

Daboll has been mostly attempting to run a pass first offense with a rookie QB who has great difficulty reading defenses. Simply moronic! 

 

Sorry, but Brian Daboll stinks! Great coaches get the best out of their players...you know, kinda like McD has done with the defense. He should have simplified the offense to mostly run plays and screens, short outs, misdirection plays. For most of the season Daboll has been calling plays like he has an experienced veteran QB behind center.

 

The offense is out of control with penalties and stupid drive killing penalties at that. How is it that a pro player doesn't know where to line up? I can see an incidental penalty like an occasional hold or false start. But some of these are ridiculous and make it impossible for any QB to do his job much less a rookie QB.  

 

54 penalties for 428 is downright ludicrous. 

The second I read somewhat lacking is the second I stopped reading the rest.

Daboll's past NFL record is garbage however with that being said.....a competant OC could benefit from a good line....a decent or even good receiving corp.....a QB....even a somewhat below average QB he could work with........the guy has none of this......not his fault obviously......despite his past record if this team ever fixes this offense he should get another shot.....

While I did like what Greg Roman did in 2015 with the Bills having the #1 team in the league in rushing, rushing TDs and YPC average. He did stumble the next year in that first game against the Ravens with 24 rushes for 64 yards, Taylor stunk too. Then in the next game 19 rushes for 86 yards and the run game was bad again. Although, Taylor was 19 of 30 for 294 yards and 3 TDs. Rex Ryan scapegoated Roman for their 0-2 start, I suppose because the run game wasn't helping his craptastic defense enough. 

 

RB coach Anthony Lynn, after taking over for Roman did resurrect the run game and again the 2016 Buffalo Bills finishing the season with the #1 team in the NFL in rushing yards, rushing TDs and yards per attempt. Both OCs never did get the passing offense working with Tyrod Taylor though. 

 

 

As far as the 2018 offensive line is concerned, it is underperforming compared to what it was with Woods, Incognito with them. Still, they are not as bad as they looked those first six games with QBs Peterman, Allen starting. Mostly because neither guy knows how to set protections and run an offense like Daboll was calling. 

 

Derek Anderson speaking after the game stated that the line held up pretty good and only had one setback in protections that they corrected on the sidelines after that series. Anderson was only sacked 2x in that Indy game and the passing offense started to look better then it had previously under the two inexperience QBs. Especially considering the guy only had two weeks to prepare to start coming off the street. 

 

Football outsiders lists the Bills as 22nd in run blocking and 29th in pass blocking and I would think that the latter will get much better the longer Anderson plays as he knows how to read a defense and set protections. Thus, he will take less sacks and make the more downfield throws that Daboll wants. I also think the receiving corps will also look better with Anderson at QB as he gets more in sync with those guys. KB looked better then he has with 4 receptions for 71 yards. 

 

Also, I noticed that Anderson targeted the RBs more often then others as he looked for an outlet when the deeper throws weren't there.  I'm not expecting that much right now because Anderson has had such a short amount of time to acclimate himself to this offense. I suspect the more he plays the better the passing offense will get. JMO

I just don’t think it’s necessary to call out posters when they have an opinion on something they don’t like. You’ve done it to me multiple times and I find it very obnoxious.

 

We are FANS here that have different occupations to these coaches/players that make millions of dollars. We should be allowed to comment on something without getting called out by another poster asking for a detailed explanation of the Xs and Os on how to fix the problem.

 

 I don’t think anyone on this board is putting in their resume to become the offensive coordinator. So maybe just relax a little bit and let’s not take it so serious eh?

It’s standard protocol for some of the posters here. If you criticize the Bills they attack you instead of trying to dispute your opinion. It’s their way of trying to get you to stop saying things they don’t want to hear. It’s standard protocol for many on the internet really.

The man is atleast attempting to run a real NFL offense. Very rarely do you see the run, run, pass combo we have come so accustom to over the last few years. Gone are the days of draw up the middle out of the shotgun for 1 yard over and over. 

 

The only issue is he is trying to run a modern day NFL offense with Junior College talent.  I think his stubbornness will pay off in the long run by helping to weed out the players who can’t hack it in a real offense. Much like we saw a defensive overhaul this year I would expect the same on offense next year.  

 

I have confidence that McBeane have the ability to figure it out, as they did on defense.  As far as McDermott, let’s not forget he got us to the playoffs with a joke of a roster last year.  This year any educated fan could see we were not built to win although there was always the outside chance much like last year.     

 

De Gustibus and all that.  Where I've done a deep dive play by play into his games, the play designs seem strange to me - overly complex, with layered deceptions that don't seem in sync with how a real NFL defense would actually react.  He seemed slow to move away from run blocking concepts that weren't working through several games, and the pass protection concepts seem unable to adjust to pick up stuff like linebackers charging up the middle.

 

The play calls also seem at times situationally inappropriate.  Why call a slant for 2 yds on 3rd and 8? and so forth.

To be fair, Daboll also does some stuff that is nice, and results in getting guys open that are missed.

Roman's second year was tougher since everyteam had studied Tyrod by that point and began to load up to force tyrod to throw. It worked.

and that is much of the reason the running game faltered.

 Whatever Lynn did > it worked.

 Anderson is smart enough to get in and out of bad plays which helps a lot.
They still need to put forth a balanced attack. Defenses are going to force the pass until Daboll can get some completions and then YAC.

I have two strong opinions about Daboll as first season with Bills.

1) it IS his first season with a bunch of new Coaches . Needs time to figure what he has.
2) Players to work with. this might be a factor no OC could overcome : )
Like McD did with Beane? He waited for Beane to make the call on QB in the draft.

 I feel he is going to do the same with Brian. post season they look at what types of players they need to bring in. 

3 ) i know , i said two strong opinions

4)  3 Quarters to plan and adjust for. 4 i you account for AJM.

Hard to get any traction under these circumstances.
5 ) yes, worst overall group of WRs known to modern man> if they released Benjamin ? the grade and rating would improve immediately

He actually had shown glimpses before, which I think is one reason the Bills picked him up.  His very first game he passed for >300 yds and led a comeback win.  I know 'cuz he was playing for St Louis then.

I expected this offense to suck with the loss in O Line and crappy WR, no QBs etc. regardless. I'm just commenting on the theme of the OP that Daboll is crushing it with this fantastic scheme that'll work when he's got the Falcons. He's not crushing it lol, and we're a far cry away a Falcons, Saints, Chiefs offense, so I don't really care what he could hypothetically do with that.

 

The OP is saying it's awesome we're putting our square peg scheme in a round hole because one day he'll get a square hole. It just sounds stupid that he's not tabling his genius square peg scheme and rather just focusing on getting first downs anyway anyhow. Ya know, Chan Gailey style.. which is still super difficult but much more difficult when we're assuming he's making his scheme on imagined personnel we don't have and might not quite have next year either.

 

Just to clarify my comment since it's getting destroyed by everybody. I am just fundamentally opposed to coordinators playing a scheme that they think is genius when it's not considering personnell..  which is the theme of the OP. A good coordinator shouldn't be doing that (and he's probably not) but if the OP is getting his rocks off at this than I wholeheartedly disagree with his very subjective hypothesis.

2 hours ago, BuffaLoko said:

And to this point, I can see the merit there. But OC's should know thier personnel inside out. Anybody getting flushed by an offense that doesn't fit them, should be flushed as he practices a couple reps and sees they don't fit his true desired offense. Come game time just put whatever gimmicky scheme gets first downs and make a mental note Foster's drop on an easy play makes him unelidgable for whatever genius scheme he wants to implement.

 

Again I'm not saying Daboll is doing this, I'm disagreeing with the OP that it's not the sign of a good OC if he is.
