How Good is Joe Brady?

I find this stuff a little ironic THIS game specifically lol. Shakir was wide open on that last offensive drive and Josh bailed the pocket right into a sack.  He’s throwin absolute lasers when he hangs in the pocket but I think he got a bit rattled around halftime tbh …the drive before that he kept on the rpo tryin to do too much himself when he should’ve handed off.  
 

Feels like he knows he’s got time now in this second half though…I think he was pressing a bit earlier 

Shakir was way short of the sticks on that play and it was 3rd down. I guess he could have thrown there and hope for YAC, but it is likely 4th and short.

[HappyDays]

I think he needs to give up on all but a few concepts. Hand the ball to Cook, screens or quick slants to Shakir, designed passes to the TEs, PA boots from Allen. Sure work in a couple throws a game to the rest but otherwise we need to just do what we can do well.

Being risk averse has actually worked really well for the team the last few seasons.  It’s frustrating sometimes, but if the Bills don’t turn the ball over, they almost always win.

Until when risks are needed and you have to trust your guys to make the play and end the game….like in the playoffs!

Brady is just dialing up plays on Madden.

 

We had a million penalties because we have all different formations and personnel with his dumb everybody eats thing.

 

Our tight ends have absolutely murdered everyone they have played.  Cook is playing RB as well as anyone.  So we are going empty, Samuel and Palmer and freaking that guy 14 who barely made the team are out there vs look down corners.

 

Having no offensive identity lead to 3 points at home in the first half 

 

Just a stupid team man

[bouds]

For an offense that runs the ball well, we sure as hell cant take advantage of it enough.  Been an issue since Dorsey.  They run undercenter, pass in the gun, would be nice if they could meld the two together.  I never want to see a TE jet sweep again.

It was hard for me to really criticize him as the bills kept getting 30 plus points, but he's getting extremely frustrating and predictable .

 

Collingsworth stated that if the bills are in shot gun they throw it 70% of the time. If they are under the gun, they run it throw it 70% of the time.

 

Ummm might want to change that up and stop being so predictable?..

[BillsVet]

Sometimes I think about Brady sitting in all those meetings this past off-season: from reviewing their 2024 season and areas to improve through to the UFA and draft prep.  After all of that time all the offense gets is a WR3ish type in Josh Palmer.  

 

Brady will always be limited, even with Josh, coordinating an offense under McD and Beane.  Hopefully, Kincaid starts having some games like he did tonight and opens up the passing game a little.  I'm not holding my breath.

I think he tries to do too much in the passing game with all the motion and different formations. That stuff can help you overcome a lack of talent but when you have 17 at QB I think it would be beneficial to keep things simpler and just let Josh go be Josh.

Is an OC good when the announcer knows exactly what you’re doing on most plays?

 

Brady’s Offense comes across as an OC who has the best QB in the NFL, one of the best OL’s and RB’s, along with a very good TE room and average/below average WR’s. 
 

So what exactly is he doing if the only things he’s successful at are in direct relation to having elite talent?  
 

I don’t think he’s bad, but I think he’s highly Josh Allen/James Cook/OL dependent to look good.

If the season continues as is, meaning the offense continues scoring 30+ and the defense can't stop a nose bleed

 

Do you check to see what kind of defensive coordinator joe Brady could get as a head coach?

 

I think you do

 

I think the defense grows stronger as the season goes on but I think it's interesting to think about 

 

 

You don't.

 

More, the defense is 17th in points allowed and at least before week 5 they were 9th in yards allowed.

 

Using "can't stop a nosebleed" to refer to a team that is 9th ... well, it's just ridiculous.

 

But even if it wasn't so silly ... no, you just don't, not with a team that was 4 - 0 when you wrote this. And the three offensive turnovers were the reason we lost even though the defense didn't play great either.

Good use of Samuel. Then he made the bone headed return on the kick off which wipes out the rest of the game lol

[Pete]

Brady play calls suck 90% of the time imo

Click the link "watch on Youtube" for Cover1's video on how Brady is calling plays.  

 

 

He is terrible and one reason why he did not leave this past year is because he is waiting for perfect job opportunity that includes having a to QB.  Teams have caught up to his stupid cutie plays or continued throws behind the line of scrimmage

[mannc]

Not good enough.

[BananaB]

Honestly think he’s handcuffed a little on how McD wants to play conservative football. Jmo. 

[chef4131]

Brady is handcuffed  he has a below average group of WRs,  we play 3 TEs because of that    Bills have to find a way to improve this group  tried last year by trading for Cooper (that did not work)

I think it's an organizational philosophy they decided on coming into the season.  McD and Brady will never admit that but it has to be.  They know they have the MVP QB, and a solid O-line and James Cook.  The problem is becoming that the O-line is not playing to the level of last season (in my opinion).  They are getting off to slow first halfs which is keeping the games close into the 4th Qtr.  Last night Josh took off more than he had the prior four games, but he has been relying on staying in the pocket and getting the ball off on time, often short passes.  We all thought the running back room was very good beyond Cook, but it has regressed to the point Brady doesn't trust them at all.

They also allow opponents to go long drives, consuming clock, keeping yardage down and putting JA on the bench.

He had to return it. If he lets it land in the field of play (which it would have) and bounce into the endzone, they get the ball at the 20. Really, the only plausible chance they had was a kick return for a TD. That was highly improbable, but more probable than going 80 yards in ~20 seconds with no timeouts.
