You have to trust your QB to make that throw and the WR to make a play. Additionally, I want a more explosive quick striking offense. The real issue today was execution. You have a point here and if Kalil catches that 54yard dime from Allen late in the 1st half the Bills would have likley gone up 24 - 9 going into the locker room. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

appoo Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 1 minute ago, Beck Water said: Sorry, but Solak lost his chance to have his takes taken seriously when he called Allen “a parody of a first round pick” and said that if he succeeded as a QB it would overturn math itself, or words to that effect. Pretty sure that was Solak. He’s not entirely wrong at the aggregate level. But the reason the Bills took him so high is probably the interview and chalkboard process he showed how much of an elite competitor and worker he was. Josh has done EXCEPTIONALLY well in remaking himself as a QB, all because of his rare drive to be great. Conventionally speaking, Allen was a bad college QB on a not very good college team. Him making it like this is why someone like Will Levis is going to be taken in the first round, and it absolutely overturned the math on drafting QBs. Allen is an exception to everything we know about QBs. You don’t go from a 50% college QB to a 65% NFL QB. You just don’t. Yet Allen has done it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take short passes and runs, bring the defense up, and then play it long. If the Bills are chasing the game, then yes. Circumstances didn't ask for it today. I get that and it's valid. However, I prefer an assertive offense. The second pass should have been a TD to Davis. Josh overthrew him. You gotta believe that Allen can execute that play.

Dorsey needs to scheme more of the former, and Allen has got to look at doing more of the latter. If nothing more dumping those off to his RBs with no one around them not only will move the sticks, it will save Allen from unnecessary hits.

I mean I almost through a major hissy fit on that long ball to Shakir on 3rd and 1, half way into the 4th. This ain’t madden. Those plays are really hard to complete You have an elite QB and I think it's reasonable to infer he should execute those plays. That's what elite means. The more difficult play to execute is the 4th down play to Beasley. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 If he suspected we didn’t have the right coverage over top for whatever reason on the 4th down he was right because the WR got behind everyone. Tyreek Hill has this staff forever shook. Maybe it’s bc Poyer is hurt and we have Marlowe back there he’s being cautious. Idk. I didn’t like it either. But it led to Miami punting. Much more confused by the 3 play calls for us that followed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dr. K Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I get it that the game was a nail biter. I was convinced, late in the 4th quarter, that they would lose. But the Bills played far from their best game, turned the ball over three times, and still scored 34 points.

Norcalbillsfan Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 28 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: No. This is what the Dolphins do. They just dialed it up more. Teams just don’t change their stripes. Plus they all know you just can’t count on turnovers and from here on out - we won’t be seeing Skylar Thompson. I disagree, this is playoffs, this is where good teams dial up packages you weren't expecting them to come at you with, especially defense. Dolphins just had success for a 3rd time blitzing Allen. The bills and Allen have struggled much more this season when josh has been excellent in years passed. Granted not every team we face will have the Dolphins mind set of nothing to lose and probably wont sell out on the blitz like the dolphins today, unless its the ravens who love to blitz. But teams will definitely dial up more blitz packages especially on 3rd down against the bills seeing how brown and saffold got eaten alive and josh hasn't been taking check downs when available, though they weren't as available due to keeping the RB in to protect. Until josh continously connects on deep balls and burns a defense too many times (which can very well happen) the blue print of blitz and sacrifice the deep ball worked to almost beat the bills with an inferior team.

GunnerBill Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 In terms of coaching BY FAR the biggest issue today was the lack of offensive adjustments to Miami's cover 1 blitzing. We are back where we were in 2019 where if you just blitz the hell out of the Bills they have no answers. I remember Baltimore beat us doing it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rich Stadium Original Posted January 15, 2023 Share Posted January 15, 2023 I had no problem with either of those time outs..defense was out of position and confused on both plays. Bad luck was that Miami ran some bonehead plays anyway. What would have been much more egregious would have been if McD had seen the confused defense and NOT called the time out, and Miami had a big play as a result 2 1 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
