How the Bills coaching staff is prone to fail sometimes

This has been the problem with the defense in the playoffs.

Oh it's been the problem in the regular season too.  It’s just camouflaged better because of the weaker competition. You can’t hide our defensive flaws in the playoffs because every team and coaching staff is great.

So every team /staff that makes the playoffs in this expanded format is great?

At a certain point ability plays above the scheme. Do the Bills have the ability to play above coaching?

NE made a few esp clutch plays than we did (maye played just as good or better than Josh

Maye looked like the Josh of old rolling out to his right and hitting the receiver at the sideline. He even had the "jump in the air" throwing mechanic of the rookie Josh.

Joe Brady has gone from a wunderkind to an idiot in one week.

 

This place is like a menopause crying circle after a loss. Insufferable.

💯  This is what I'm hoping for in coaching growth this year.  Haven't seen it yet though.

Growth from McD is pipe dream IMO.  There has been zero growth in McD's coaching since he got here, and I highly doubt we'll see any sort of future growth from him.

If Allen has an average NFL QB game we lose half the time because the combined coaching and rest of roster is nfl average.  Fortunately this only happens a couple of times per season. Part of the Pats loss was being out coached.

Going for it on fourth downs.  Managing the game so Mahomes doesn't end up with the ball late in a one score game, including staying out of prevent D.  These are a couple of the most obvious ways.  Unfortunately,  moreso on offense than defense IMO.

 

But, he needs to get his defense healthy, then work in players like Hairston, Strong, and hopefully Hancock.  And his D-line rooks need more time to mature.

 

More patience is needed and that is in short supply right now, somewhat deservedly as it is his ninth season.

 

But his positives allow me to be patient another season.  Totally agree with how he runs and leads a team.

At this point, we are going to be a ball control team and mostly pull it out late.  McD knows our D is a problem and if/until it finds better footing, that's his solution.   If not for the turnovers, I think we win that game and no one cares about better coaching.

1. Maye-->Diggs was lights out phenomenal.  (if Diggs played that well for the Bills, I'd respect him, but he dogged it his last year)

 

2. Josh threw a critical Red Zone interception.

 

That's the entire game right there. The granular X and O's were not that significant in the loss.

Chris Collinsworth was calling our plays before they happened. 

 

Chris. Collinsworth. 

 

If you can't disguise your intentions from that nose picker then I don't know who you're going to fool in this league. 

In spite of the disdain he gets across Bills Mafia, dude knows his stuff

That's what happens when you have a WR with a chip on his shoulder and cover him one on one with a guy who should have retired after last season.

Problem with your premise is I never spoke to Brady specifically. It’s the Bills coaching staff as a whole.

They shelved the 12 and 13 personnel version of the offense and just played a regular offense. I guess they realized that they can’t bully a bigger, more physical team, and this version of the offense just isn’t very good unless you catch a team by surprise like the Ravens game. Trouble ahead.

I have a way more naively positive take on this ha ha: so far, it seems they have tried different approaches in every game. Which is great as come playoff time, they'll have so much they can use. But when it's close or you're behind, you need plays that have proven to work.

And so far, the offense and Brady have done a good job. Come on now. But it seems every team have a wide open receiver 3-4 times a game. Why can't the bills do that too?

Fact remains we were out coached.
