Continual improvement is always the goal.  But it’s not like our offense was bad last year.

Nope, it just couldn’t perform when it needed to. And forcing the Allen sneak after it had been stopped a few times was foolish.

I rarely thought Brady made bad play calls designs, I think where he has to improve is having a few more layers to his offense and I think much like Andy Reid has his "S Level" stuff for the playoffs I think Brady has to develop that extra set of plays to keep in his back pocket. I feel like KC will probably keep 10% of their playbook off film during the regular season only to unleash it throughout the playoffs (likely I would assume practicing the plays in closed settings throughout the season to keep them sharp). I would like to see the Bills have that type of elite level plays that they save for key situations. 

It does kind of make one look bad complaining about an offense that for the most part performed above expectations. But this offense in the end failed to convert a short distance which wasn’t the only reason but still ended the season. Too often during the season receivers ended up in the same area, separation was terrible, Josh always seems to have to thread the needle. Can scheme help alleviate this? Too many times receivers who completed their routs would stop running or did not return towards Allen to help him when he left the pocket. Too many times we ran plays that weren’t working IE the wide receiver screen. Most of this is easy to fix, I hope they do. It seems we rely on Allen to be Superhuman way too much.

The difference between the Bills and Chiefs, had the Bills stuffed it on KC the KC would have tried it to the right instead of continually going left.   Faked the push and pitched or threw to a TE over the middle.

 

 

This is what has been eluded to on both sides of the ball, no adjustments when needed.  Brady just kept calling it to the left.

By the way, Beane knows he blew the Coleman pick.  (40 4.61)

 

Since he made that pick, all the skill players on both sides of the ball have speed. 

 

At WR were have added Palmer (4.52 @ 6'1 210), Moore (4.35), and Prather (4.46),   

AT DB & S: Bishop (4.45), Forest (4.41), Hancock (4.42), Hairston (4.28), Strong (4.50)

 

4.45, 4.50, 4.52 while not being slow, isn't what i'd consider "fast" either. If 4.61 is turtle show, a tenth of a second faster isn't blazing. Hairston - that's fast.

 

You think he didn't know his timed speed was 4.61 when he Drafted him? Like Beane's a GM that had to Draft someone at 4.61 to determine whether or not it would work?

 

If Beane knows "he blew the pick" and was sure Keon Coleman is incapable of taking a step in Year 2, he'd have done something more than just replacing Amari Cooper and Mack Hollins with Josh Palmer and Elijah Moore and not Drafting a WR until UDFA Camp Body territory in the 7th.

 

Honestly, I wish he did think he blew the pick as you imply. Maybe he would have tried to get Metcalf.

I looked at some stats and I think think one important WR stat is WR targets. How much was Josh throwing Coleman the ball ?

 

Since Lions game when Coleman came back, he wasn't getting alot of targets

 

-Detroit 2 targets 

-NE 2 targets 

-Jets 7 targets for 27 yards

-NE game excluded, no Josh

-Den playoff 3 tgts for 5 yds

-Bal playoff 1 targets

-Chiefs 4 targets 12 yards

 

What is the cause of such few targets?

 

-Did Josh just have alot of other options in passing game ?

- too much running with Cook ?

- Brady not able to scheme him open

- Coleman not getting open ?

 

I'm starting to think more and more it's Brady not being able to counter move what DCs are showing him.

 

His schemes start off good but he doesn't know how to adjust after DCs adjust to his first set of plays

 

The long bomb is just not his strong suit. He hits one every now and then. But more often than not, he just misses over or under. He can throw it a mile, but he's never really gotten down being able to throw it long accurately with any sort of regularity.

 

Luckily, he makes up for that by being an absolute beast in practically every other facet of his game. It's not dialed up often by Brady because of that fact. They're low percentage throws.

John Brown and Robert Foster disagree

Unfortunately if Coleman doesn’t take a step and Beanes addition of Palmer fails miserably, the 2026 draft is very weak for the WR position 

 

2027 WR is stacked however with J Smith WR OSU likely the first overall pick.

Since the Bills are already doomed before Memorial Day, why not plan for the 2026 and 2027 drafts just like in "the good old days" of the Drought Era?

I was praying for a fake sneak and quick hit to a TE.

I think so. No guts, no glory. Gotta take some chances like that.

Exactly!!!! Complete stupidity, too predictable.  Easily fixable you would hope.
