KD in CA Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Seems like the default option is to blame the coaches when people can't point to specific plays/players. But here's what I saw: 1) Bills are not stout against the run. They have not effectively replaced Star 2) Rams are a good running team and ran effectively all game 3) Bills defense got worn down by end of 3Q 4) Once the pass rush evaporated, the Rams passing game opened up and things got ugly Meanwhile, the coaching on the offensive side was terrific. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think we need a run stuffing tackle and linebacker for early downs and we're solid. Very true, we have an elite CB, along with two great safeties. However, I do think the lack of a depth at CB2 causes a matchup nightmare against someone like the Rams. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I remember getting gashed on the ground with Star too. Edmunds needs to make a huge improvement against the run. He gets blown up and run over and misses tackles. I really thought he was going to look good this year but he's a liability right now. 2 minutes ago, SirAndrew said: Very true, we have an elite CB, along with two great safeties.

Looked like it was the cornerbacks from where I was sitting but that is just me. No, it's Kupp being a top WR in the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McD was completely clueless in the 2nd half. Allen bailed em out. And McVay was completely clueless in the first half when he could only score 3 measly points. He had no answer for the Bills' red zone defense. McVay lost them that game by not being able to score earlier and then fell flat at the end of the 4th when the game was on the line. He needed the refs to bail him out in the 3rd, but that still wasn't enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could make that argument for not addressing run defense and failing to scheme for multiple elite receivers. Granted, blame lies with players for a lot of the stuff that happened today but it sure doesn't look like the coaching staff is ever ready for the second half.

LeGOATski Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Just now, ScottLaw said: Huh? How did the refs bail him out? They lost. You are missing the point. The Bills defense has been exposed in the 2nd half for how many games? They gifted him the ball back with good field position in the 3rd quarter after the Bills defense shut them down again. Try actually watching the game next time. McVay's offense was exposed in the first half when he only scored 3 points and let the Bills get up to a 28 point lead at the start of the 3rd. McVay failed and lost the game. The better coach won today. You lose, Scott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sweats Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Our D is a mess....giving up 29 points in the 2nd half is unacceptable. Everyone keeps saying how great our D is. They ***** the bed 3 weeks in a row and there's nothing real special about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For some reason I expected the coaches to turn a physical freak into a decent tackler and gap stuffer once he got some experience in the league and wasn't the youngest player on the field anymore. Either the coaches or the player or both have failed thus far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm glad they don't have a loser mentality like you and some other posters on this board. They fought through their mistakes and won like a well-coached team does. 1 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We are getting destroyed in the second half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills6969 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I think a sign of bad coaching is when you give up big leads. It shows that you let your team get complacent and have trouble putting the fire out when the opponent goes on a run. I think McDermott is solid but needs to have more killer instinct with his team. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It kinda reminds me of the Chiefs' situation when they started putting up points with Mahomes. Complimentary football is a real thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It reminded me of them folding in Houston last year. We have the talent but I am starting to question if we have the coaching to take the next step. Honestly, what happened today in the 2nd half was inexcusable. They only stopped our offense what 2-3 times? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is it a sign of bad coaching when you go down 28-3? It's much easier to make half time adjustments than it is making in-game adjustments. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The players are playing the game. It's mostly on them that they can't put teams away in the 3rd. They are learning to win (yes that is a thing).
