BillMafia716ix Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 We had a 1st down with 2:11 left and the Chiefs only had 2 TO. We called 3 straight pass plays… idk how you could mess that situation up as a play caller. It was awful Let’s not crown Brady yet. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 (edited) No. Brady has to show me more before I consider him as our permanent OC. The Bills offense looked rather pedestrian yesterday, especially the last 40 minutes of the game.

Rocky Landing Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I will say it was nice seeing those two TE sets we were promised coming to fruition, with Knox and Kincaid both blocking, and making receptions. It was also nice seeing Cook used in the way everyone said he could be, including lining up like a wideout. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kkim0904 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 He had trouble picking up the blitzs. We did not use quick slant in a whole game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Both those numbers only go up if you take that data back further. -The 3 weeks Brady has been OC we rank 8th in EPA on offense and scored 28.6 PPG. We have generated almost 7 more PPG in the sample with Brady but in the same sample our defense ranked 9th in EPA vs 32nd in the previous 4 when Dorsey was here. Still too early, but I do want to point out that not all games are created equal. Green = Top 10 defense Yellow = 10-22 defense Red = Bottom 10 defense Dorsey: Jets: Defensive DVOA Rank: 3rd ... 16 points scored Raiders: Defensive Rank: 16th ... 38 points Commanders: Defensive Rank: 32nd ... 37 points Dolphins: Defensive Rank: 11th ... 48 points Jaguars: Defensive Rank: 8th ... 20 points Giants: Defensive Rank: 25th ... 14 points Patriots: Defensive Rank: 10th ... 25 points Buccaneers: Defensive Rank: 17th ... 24 points Bengals: Defensive Rank: 26th ... 18 points Broncos: Defensive Rank: 30th ... 22 points Brady: Jets: Defensive DVOA Rank: 3rd ... 32 points Eagles: Defensive Rank: 20th ... 37 points Cheifs: Defensive Rank: 9th ... 20 points Dorsey had some horrible offensive games against bad defensive teams. Eagles aren't bad. Joe Brady hasn't, but again ... too early. I like what I've seen thus far. 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 No, this second half offense looked a lot like the KD offense. Gripping too tight, trying for the big play, totally forgot they were allowed to run the ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 If we're going to make Brady our OC then we better be ready to make him a HC since any OC that has a bit of success will be on the next short list of HC candidates. And if we're going to sit on a carousel of OCs with McDefense at the helm, it's unlikely we never get anything going. For the crowd that is scared to fire McD because of what that turn over might mean and having to re-build, get ready for the same thing with OCs constantly leaving. Promote Brady to OC, and if it works out next year, be ready to promote him to HC. Such is the modern NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s as far as I’ll go so far. I agree with you. The second half play calling left a lot to be desired (felt very Dorsey-ish). 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 1 hour ago, Steptide said: Thought he shoulda ran more play action yesterday, and also some no huddle. He could've also handled the last 2 mins better. Kc had 3(?) timeouts left and we needed to find a way to make them burn those. Instead they threw it 3 times and essentially gave kc 3 more timeouts The time management and play calling ending the half & game were bad. Andy never burns late TO's unless he absolutely has to. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I was ready for the engagement after 500 yards at Philly. But yesterday gave me pause. Gonna need to see if they can crank up the O a bit more in coming weeks against teams they should move the ball against. Seattle hung a bunch of points on Dallas. They are not as tough defensively as KC in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hondo in seattle Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 The offense feels a lot more multidimensional than before. There's less dependence on the Allen- Diggs connection, and much less dependence on Josh being Superman. I'm appreciative of these changes, for sure. However, we still have problems with wideouts getting separation. And we still have the problem that Kurt Warner's continually harps on: Josh still often chooses the hard yards over the easy yards. It makes for great highlights when it works but it also leads to TOs and stalled drives. And I hope this offseason, like I hope every offseason, that Beane upgrades the OL. They weren't good in the second half of yesterday's game. A better OL will make Cook a better runner, Josh a better (and healthier) QB, and Brady a better playcaller.

boater Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 The do or die Cowboys game at home will tell us a lot about Joe Brady. Let's revisit this topic then. Regarding Marcia Brady: for being 67 years old, Maureen McCormick has aged well. Dudes in her age group are lining up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFan130 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 I said it during the game but I think Spags was in his head a bit. He must have guessed KC was going to blitz a lot, as there seemed to be what, 8 WR screens yesterday? I hope they go back to more 11 personnel and dictate terms, opposed to reacting to what they think the D is doing to them. Spread them out, let Josh cook, and get James cook the ball in space Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
msw2112 Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 The second half play calling wasn't great, but it's still better that what we had with Dorsey. The Bills were also on the road against a good KC team with a good defense in a very loud stadium. I didn't love the passes on the final drive, but it didn't look like they were going to be able to get the first down on the ground, so I assume they thought having the ball in Allen's hands was the best way to try and get it. Mahomes doesn't need much time to drive down the field (as we know all too well, unfortunately), so even if they ran the ball and KC used it timeouts up, there would have been plenty of time left for KC if the Bills didn't get the first down. Regardless of what we think/feel on this board, Brady will be the OC the rest of this season and, in my opinion, that will be enough of a sample size for me to know if I'd want him to stay in the role for next season. I'd be inclined to stay with him if I had to make the choice right now, but I'll wait and see how the rest of the season plays out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Straight Hucklebuck Posted December 11, 2023 Share Posted December 11, 2023 We really need another WR who can separate. Are we all finally on the same page here with Gabe Davis not being the #2 going forward? He has 3 goose-eggs now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just don’t want McD anywhere near this offense. I would think McD has his hands full running the D and being a head coach during the game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
