I'm really starting to love this WR room. We quietly got better

I'm still arguing that Brady makes it much harder on this offense than it needs to be with his overuse of Mesh in high leverage situations and inability to scheme up proper passing concepts that lead to space for players.

 

These WRs might not be great in terms of overall ability, but they are certainly better than what Brady has made them look.

 

let’s do the exercise. 
 

facing a heavy dose of man coverage and getting little help from the line or WRs…. What’s your plan?

 

the WRs can’t win matchups 

 

mesh variations off the table

 

cue up some slow developing double moves?

 

the back shoulders have been a real winner for us 

 

I’ll buy a little more motion maybe, some extra stacked formations and that not having such a heavy skew to pass out of shotgun… but at some point it’s a matter of not having talent to beat man coverage. Our WR group ranks 30-something talent wise. 
 

I’ll also say, several of the plays that didn’t work that were mesh in major moments had the target free 

 

what are your play calls

This video is soooooo spot on it hurts man.  I'm not even sure I can blame Brady at this phase either.

Khalil Shakir for multiple years had the highest separation rate against man coverage in the NFL. Now all of a sudden he can't win against man?

 

Not buying it. We have Gregg Roman 2.0

 

Great run concepts, bad pass concepts

So it is route design or the WRs? That is were I'm lost.

Pass concepts are both not well designed for the most part and the ones that are like Mesh are highly overused and predictable in obvious situations.

 

Brady tendencies combined with inability to properly scheme good concepts overall in the pass game are a major problem

 

Essentially like the last 6 years, in year 2 the OC gets figured out, he has no real answers against really good defensive teams and the offense looks disjointed far too often as a result.

I can agree with what you are saying as well as that all makes sense here.  This flat out sucks as I don't want to see Allen getting destroyed like that again honestly.  Thursday game alone Pegula should be saying the same thing. It was embarrassing and will lead to a major Allen injury.

Agree. Under Dorsey and Brady, both offenses became stagnant when defenses figured them out. You need a second act that works off your established concepts. Talent is also an issue. When talent is lacking, scheme and execution becomes more important.

you aren’t going to love the answers here: 

 

1) Shakir is statistically on pace to be about the same year over year statistically and about to basically put up his best season with us. The problem is he’s not a top wr and can’t be your WR1

 

2) still interested to hear the route concepts missing

Even under Daboll...the worst offensive game of the Allen era was the 9-6 debacle against an atrocious Jags team.

 

The defense was helping win a lot of those games during the most part of the year in Daboll's last season.  Couldn't run the ball effectively, Allen pressing too much ,etc...

Acho shows how Josh had zero options and the Texans had zero respect for our WRs.  No idea whether it is Brady, the WRs or a combination of the two, but it needs to be fixed, and, unfortunately it won't happen during this season.  Worried Brady and our WRs are going to get Josh seriously injured.

This is one of the most frustrating seasons of my life. The drought wasn’t always frustrating. They just weren’t very good. This season set up perfectly for them. They arrogantly didn’t look to improve upon what looked like the worst WR room in the NFL. Then the GM goes on the popular morning show. He condescendingly mansplains to the hosts and an educated fanbase why we are all wrong and he knows best. The Bills used the clip to promote the season!! They were insulting us.
 

Almost instantly, what anyone with a brain could see, came to fruition. The WRs were trash. Now they’re about to waste a season in Josh Allen’s prime, where Baltimore and KC were down. The Bills had a very easy schedule. This year was set up perfectly. To this point, they’ve failed and it’s their own arrogance that has us here.

Brady hasn’t done a great job this year. You can’t make guys that have never been good, good. This is on Beane. Brady has been bad but no one would flourish with this group. They stink.
