Do The Bills Have A Passing Game Problem?

[BillsFan130]

At the end of the day the bills passing attack has been pretty mediocre outside of a couple quarters in 3 total games.

 

I think it's a combination of the receivers not creating enough separation, and Joe Brady not doing a good enough job of scheming them open. (Example, more play action on 1st downs)

 

What do you guys think?

Its more a decision from coaching to slow game down and burn clock than it is passing game problem.

No

 

We want to play ball control

This is what it looks like

Agreed But it's still a problem. They tried to throw more after the one 3 and out in the 3rd and got shut down

Playcalling wasn't quite as sharp tonight

I agree 100%

Yes. I don't think these receivers can get open down the field on the outside. They are scheming around that weakness pretty well and while they didn't call many deep shots today (think just two) the ones they did Josh came off - even with time - and went underneath. That tells you there was nothing open.

while part of the decision - when we needed a downfield play tonight it was not there 

 

against perhaps the weakest corners we will face 

[Pecker]

Brady schemes a lot of guys open.  But it appears to me that 1v1 our guys get no separation or win matchups.  And it allows the D to key in on the running game and play is very tight and fill the box.  
 

We don’t take deep shots and our guys don’t win 1v1 so the D isn’t honest.

Ya that's pretty accurate. My only

beef is just more play action on 1st downs.

 

Very low percentage which is not good enough , especially with Josh's high EPA under play action

Second half of ravens game when they backed off looked good.  Other than that it’s ehhh at best

we didn’t need to force the issue tonight but it really stood out as a major concern.

Cook has been cooking. We are at our best when we are running the football. I love it personally. Especially when we go 3 Tight Ends.

That is not what you do when you have the best QB in football.

[MikePJ76]

the obsession with wr's continues.

 

Its been almost two years of scoring 30 pts a game and winning like nearly every game and people still do not get it.

 

 

[somnus00]

Kincaid is a good route runner. Palmer is a separation guy. Moore has had success with jag QBs. Shakir is good. Cook is very good. 

 

So it's it really a personnel problem, or a scheme problem. The first half today looked great for the most part. 4th quarter against the Ravens was amazing. The rest has been pretty sloppy. 

[Buffalo716]

I think this is more because there's no use in throttling games in three quarters and there's no adversity and no rhythm 

 

This is classic case of playing with your food and Brady teams did this for years throughout the regular season at points.. we're not opening up our full offense week three against a week opponents but we're also not trying to pull Josh at the end of the third quarter 

 

So it leads to JV level calls and it's just playing with your food until they want to finish it

[Mike in Horseheads]

Only averaging 34 ppg

Agreed

But that's what they've been hell bent on doing for the last season and a half

[The Cincinnati Kid]

Yes. QB has a noodle arm and bad mechanics. 0, 5, 10, 86 would barely see the field on any other team in the league, and the OC is the weirdest HC candidate ever. Bad team, bad mojo, bad season on the way. SMH.
