..The Bills 8-6 season has come down more to how we execute in the red zone, in the 4Q, more so this season than any recent one I can recall, as 4 of our 6 losses would have been wins, if the team just completes one more red zone TD pass, or can run just one more in

WHOA! I hadn't read this before. What do you think?

I think that’s obvious. We’ve gotta play better in the red zone, we’ve been woefully inadequate and shouldn’t be with the talent on this team. Not just in the 4th quarter!

What this means for me is the Bills can tweak a few of those issues and be sitting pretty if they do and if they can come up clutch in those times inside the 20. Im putting the positive energy out there they WILL be better going forward *hopes

 

GO BILLS

Davis has been doing well in the redzone recently. Hopefully we see more of the same.

Last year it was a strength (along with 3rd down conversions) and we won 13 games. We took a step back in both areas this year.

It's not a surprise that we are struggling to put wins together (except the blowouts) when you fall short in those two areas. 

 

That needs to change this week and in the playoffs, or we will be in the same boat: competitive games, but no cigar.

Unless it’s a blowout on Sunday, which I highly doubt, Josh is going to have a huge opportunity to erase all the ghosts of the 2021 season by putting the ball in end zone when we need it for a fourth quarter victory. Let’s pray he and Daboll can remain calm and simply call/execute the play this time.

Go Bills

I have a theory on the redzone this year.

 

I feel like the Bills have had a disproportionate number of first and goals from the 10 yard line. i wish I had time to do a deeper dive on this, but I swear that a vast number of times we are goal to go, we have to go the full 10 yards. I think that obviously

makes it harder to score in such a situation.

Some would maintain that it’s actually easier because it gives the receivers more room to work…especially when we don’t have a strong running game. I believe it all comes down to poor play design and play calling.

that would be true, except the Bills love to run it from there and waste a down.

Also Josh needs to snap his 1 INT per game streak that's like 5 games in a row or something like that.

While I agree that INTs (or any turnovers) are obviously undesirable, I have no issue with Josh being aggressive with downfield throws. MUCH easier to take the 1 INT per game along with 2-3 passing TDs - the Carolina game is a perfect example of that. Pretty hard to have sustained success without a failure from time to time

 I agree with this. Also can’t prove my further theory that their conservative play calling is the cause of the 1st and goals from the 9 or 10. Instead of trying for TDs once they’re in the red zone, safely in fg range, they aim to get another first down.

How do the Bills score from the ten yard line? Simple. You roll Allen to the right and force the defender to make a choice between stopping him on the bootleg or covering the WR/TE. It’s not friggin complicated Daboll! 

 

KC has that go to play in the red zone where Mahomes rolls right and under hands it to a back or TE running across his face  into the center of the line. Almost always works. 

 

We have that Josh RPO where it's a QB run to the right with a TE delay route that forces them the defend Josh on the run  or cover the TE. But it's almost like the Daboll outsmarts himself by refusing to go back to what works...

 

Also more jet sweeps to mcKenzie in goal to go. 

 

And more wr's coming in motion full speed and sprinting to the pylon for the quick out.

Bills are 12th in red zone TD %. Not terrible, not great. Notable teams worse than us: KC, Pats, Titans, Bengals, Colts (i.e. every team ahead of us in playoff seeding except the Chargers, which are barely better at 10th).

 

Idk what my point is here, but it seems like we’ve done “well enough”. I think we’re just traumatized by all the close games with us failing in the red zone at the end of the game.
