J-GunJoshAllen17 Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 Too many 2nd and long runs to Frank Gore caught up with them. Being one of the most predictable offenses in the NFL caught up with them. Bills did not pass once on 3rd and 1 the entire season. I'm sure there are other predictahble tendancies if you dig for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If knox or morse make 1 block on the qb sweep in ot, josh either scores or we're in position for a game winning fg. Overall, the play calling was fine. Execution on the other hand... That's on the players. But it’s easier to blame the coaches than admit the popular players we love might have screwed up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrEpsYtown Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 I think they are just conservative and aggressive at the wrong times. Going empty sets with heavy personnel in OT made no sense. Overtime should turn back into a regular game, get first downs and run Singletary and use play action. I'm not sure why they opened it up at that point, but that was the wrong time to do that in my opinion. McDermott is a Andy Reid guy, who has a history of these issues. To add, teh defense got pretty conservative in the third quarter. They weren't aggressive again until overtime, and then you had the missed tackles. It is one thing to get conservative on offense and it is another thing to play Dick Jauron defense with a lead. I think they need to just stick with their game plan throughout and it felt like they got away from the game plan while sitting on a lead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Been saying all year that McDermott's style of coaching is just fine for the regular season because you win a good number of games. I think McDermott can consistently get his teams to the playoffs. But his style of coaching sucks Sucks SUcks SUCKS when you get to a one n done playoff situation! He coaches not to lose rather than coaching to win. That irritates the heck outta me. I hope this offseason he becomes a little more aggressive and reprioritizes especially after examining the Houston debacle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Happy Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Great questions and I'd like to know the answers to them. Supposedly "The Process" will solve these conservative tendencies as they clearly contributed to the loss, unless he completely blames player execution which some of that is to blame. McD, his staff, and their philosophy weren't good enough to win. We'll find out next season if McD can change his stripes, though I have my doubts; at this point my thought is the best McD will be is an AFCC coach.

JoshAllin Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 He probably thinks 21 points is enough to win with the team and gets conservative once hes around that number. The team only scored 28 pts and up 3 times, and 2 were from miami who also scored a bunch as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
