Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 8 minutes ago, PayDaBill$ said: If the defense was 100% healthy the game plan would have been different. I believe the offense would have been more aggressive. I don’t think McD felt good about his D stopping KC or getting into a track meet so he tried to win in a lower scoring contest. With a MASH unit D it was a 3 pt difference in a mid 20’s game. Healthy defense they roll KC last night. Unfortunately the banged up D couldn’t get a stop. Agree with the strategy, but if McD didn't think his defense could stop KC why would he then think a low scoring game would win it. Last week against Steelers, that wasn't a bad strategy, but against KC?? Yes grind it out is great as long as they can keep scoring every drive. But in 2nd half didn't do much on offense other than one drive. So the banged up D couldn't get a stop, and the healthy offense couldn't score!

Ethan in Cleveland Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Bills invested in a TE who developed much faster than usual but they still didn't even draft the best one. LaPorta looks like an all-pro already. Torrence is a solid pick Brown is starting to look like a solid RT. Knox sadly has regressed terribly. Had really high hopes for him but he's not much of a factor in the offense. Davis just didn't get any better. They took a chance on a couple cast off WRs. They need to draft a WR in the first round this year with size and hands. Shakir is a baller. Let him play the slot and go get a speed guy with size for the outside. And Cook learn to catch. They set up that angle route all year and it was a beautiful call for a walk in TD with a perfectly delivered ball. Other NFL teams have players that make amazing catches. Our pass catchers can't even make routine one. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BRH Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 Why do people insist on talking about DHop when he was never coming here? He got a lot more than we gave Floyd. Hopkins' cap number is nearly $16M next year with dead cap of nearly $8M. Floyd's cap number is $4.3M next year. He wanted to get paid more than he wanted to win. The Chiefs kicked the tires on him too and were basically told the same thing. And I'll ask again here: how did DHop do in this postseason? Exactly.

Joe marino also had a great tweet. And when you combine them I think you really get why the bills continue to fall short. Short hand what joe said, keys why the bills lost this year: no down feild wr talent, d line didn't show up, special teams, injuries. This regime has continued to spend massive amounts on the d line and once again we are left standing wondering why we fell short in the playoffs. Might be time to change things up.

He would've been a difference maker in this offense, and honestly we may have won the game last night if we had him. We have a very handicapped offense. Diggs is nowhere to be found the last 8 weeks We win that game with Gabe Davis, in my opinion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have scrubs playing like scrubs. meanwhiles McD actually has scrubs playing great on D. it’s time to invest all out in the offense and let McD coach the scrubs up. we need 3 new WRs another RB and a better offensive coach. We don’t need high priced DEs LBs or CBs who can’t sack tackle or cover any better than the late rounders Beane brings in. We ignored the offense but have scrubs on defense as well? This defense has been amazing this year. They're better than you're giving them credit for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsMontreal Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 1 hour ago, Jrb1979 said: Disagree. The offense only scored 7 points in the second half and made no plays over 20 yards. They have no game breakers on offense Without the Offense, the Chiefs could score 40 points easily yesterday. It wasnt perfect, they also blew it at the 2 minuts warning, but our best defense was our offense on the field and by far. The defense did the most they can do, but a lot of offense in the NFL could score at will against them. Thumps up to our offense to eat the clock and find a way to put some points on the board. It wasnt not enough, but we played a playoff game against the Chiefs with too many -next man up- on defense. It's sad because i'm pretty sure we win that game with an healty defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pocoboy Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 (edited) Dorsey. You can't install a whole new playbook midseason. That's your problem, you trusted a nincompoop to run your offense and doubled down after the 2022 season crumbled. Now you're left trying to decide if you want to give Brady a chance to implement the offense he sees fit, or go and bring in someone else. Whoever is hired needs more of a firewall between themselves and McDermott. And honestly, that's why they should move away from Brady, he has way too many ties to McDermott's history.

buffalostu2 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 2 hours ago, dma0034 said: Aaron Rodgers, while he was a Packer, never threw to a 1st round WR. It was a big thing. Since Allen has been drafted the highest a WR has been picked is the 4th round (Gave Davis). One in the 5th (Shakir). You have arguably the most talented QB in the league and you have given him nothing. Ironically enough the one Offensive Position that the Bills draft a lot (RB) is the one that takes the ball outta your QB's hands the most. This should change this year 🤞 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billever76 Posted January 22 Share Posted January 22 2 hours ago, Livinginthepast said: I blame the Dorsey offense. Brady did a much better job at in game decisions but he was limited to the Dorsey offense. I noticed the exact same thing as you in the last 2 weeks watching the other playoff teams. Even the worst teams got receivers open. Even the worst teams ran deception plays or screens that got great yardage. Those teams were able to make things consistently better and easier for their often inferior QBs (like Rudolph etc) to make plays. But Brady was stuck with Dorsey's Pop Warner playbook. Its an absolute travesty that he came in here and made our offense worse. Don't you think this offense we now run is per the vision of our HC? Why do you think dabol and McDermott had a rift? Dabol laughed in mcd face when he would dial up 3 play 50 s drives for a TD.....our offense,defense,plays and everything from the top on down is MCDERMOTT’S process...do you trust it?
