freddyjj Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 (edited) While we wait for this years version of the Bills to begin their quest for the Super Bowl trophy, I thought it might be a fun exercise to have our members pick a play from Bills history to give to Dorsey for this years playbook. My selection from the Ground Chuck years ..1980-1982 TE Screen to #86 Mark Brammer Maybe recreate it with our new #86!

Success Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 We ran for over 300 yards in a playoff game once using a lot of reverses & fake reverses (Tasker was a big part of that). I love the reverse - and the fake reverse. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 I just want him to use all the plays that work and to stay away from the plays that don’t work. Is that too much to ask? Also, whatever he is doing I want him to do the other thing. If Josh is throwing deep passes, then he needs to be calling running plays. But if he calls running plays then he needs to be calling deep passes. If Josh is taking checkdowns then I’ll scream at my TV that Dorsey needs to be more aggressive but if Josh throws a deep incompletion I’ll yell at him for not taking what the defense is giving him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fergie's ire Posted September 5, 2023 Share Posted September 5, 2023 Nothing from the Mike Mularkey era please. Wasn't the stupid backward pass to the back on 3rd or 4th and short cribbed from that staff? I hated their trickery that blew up in the offense's face about 9 out of 10 times.

It drives me nuts that the same fans who yelled about Tyrod not pushing the ball down the field now want Josh to start checking the ball down. They want what they don't have. Also, every play that doesn't work was the wrong call by the OC. It's never a good defensive play. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know because I defended Daboll here. One of the hardest things to do is replace a top player or coach. The reason is because expectations are at an unrealistic level. Daboll had a top 3 offense so those are the expectations. Dorsey met those expectations but he wasn’t perfect. The offense had some flaws. Improved in some areas but declined in some areas. We might see a similar situation with McDermott taking over for Frazier. Unless the defense looks much more improved there will be criticism, even if it’s a top 5 defense. Same thing for the next head coach if McDermott were let go. Our expectations will be so high. Super Bowl or bust. The next coach won’t have a honeymoon period.

NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 Anything that Thurman caught out of the backfield…he was such a dual threat, and I can totally envision Cook taking that on as well.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 It was crazy how good Fred was at runs up the middle and just how incredible Shady was off tackle. It doesn’t seem feasible that the guys we have now are that much worse…I don’t know why we can’t block up anything run wise. The players on this teams are much better then those drought era Bills teams….we can we never spring any decent runs? It’s been years now. And we have an actual passing game that puts fear in a defense. If anything we should be able to run almost at will. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

maddenboy Posted September 6, 2023 Share Posted September 6, 2023 not to derail the idea of the thread (which i like) i would love for Dorsey to ask Diggs to choose 2 plays per week. One for when we are winning and one for when we are losing. And promise him i will call at least one of them every single week. then i would remind him that, as a team leader and Captain, he should sometimes give me plays that dont go to him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
