I remember a time when Josh Allen would have picked up those two yards easily…

My take is the play was there but Josh panicked and tried the flip thing.  Not converting was on Josh.

He’s not a good blocker, that’s why they pull him on 3rd down. He should be getting the ball a lot more 

He’s one of 2 big playmakers on offense.  So you are advocating removing one of our two best offensive players, and replacing with Keon and Moore?  Win and lose with your best players, don’t die with bullets in the chamber

I posted this before.

 

last week, in the aftermath of the pathetic  Knox jet sweep schemes up on 3rd and short- Knox fumbles on awkward play.

 

McD- “we have to stop being cute on offense, and get back to fundamentals”

 

Bills reporter asked Brady about his “cute” play designs.

 

Brady said “define cute”

 

Bills Reporter- “your coach said it”

LMAO

 

so a wise person learns from their mistakes.  And they can take a hint. “Stop being cute on offense”.  Brady must not be wise.

 

3rd and short, what does Brady call?  He gets “cute” and runs the same stupid Jet Sweep with Moore, and the same result - failure and a fumble.

 

imo McD was livid about the “cute” Knox jet sweep in Pats game.

 

Brady has the nerve to double down on his insanity.

 

imo McD is going to tear Brady a new one, most deservedly

I don't care if Cook can block. Bottom line is the Bills are trailing in the 4th quarter, so you aren't putting him out there to block anyway. He is the one playmaker on offense who is a threat to take it to the house from anywhere on the field. You are trying to get him the ball in open spaces so he can go make a big play.

he didn't finish after that. he just started clapping then applied sunscreen and adjusted his hat.

[metbill]

We have CB and Safetys that cant cover or tackle, LBs that cant tackle, DL that cant get pressure and all of them stay on the field.  Our second best weapon on offense isn't the best blocker so we keep him on the sideline???? Lunacy to ever have Cook off the field in any big play situation.  We give up so easily on the offensive side with Cook, but keep crap on the defensive side all game to repeatedly watch the same issues occur with no changes.

when i've been in management i've always been aware of the projects my team works on and always been open door policy to discuss things when employees felt the need to come in and this was important. the open door policy for me applied to them because when i became concerned over the direction, lack of attention to detail, or any specific points of my team i would use their open door to review the issues.

 

mcdermott is not minding to his coordinators and keeps getting immature coordinators who always take the blame.

 

frazier is the only experienced coordinator to work under mcdermott and see the writing on the wall to "retire." frazier had his defense taken from him and meddled with when it mattered and in the chiefs game it 100% showed and this is why the defense got so pissy in reaction. this is why Hughes was openly vocal in the locker room, why fights were happening in the locker room after the game. mcd preached accountability and didn't take any when he meddled in it. further, he changed the play on the kickoff without letting the ST coach do it which is why we kicked deep when the coverage team was told to cover squib. players were pissed because mcd caused that outcome and didn't step up and say he did poorly to the media and let everyone take the blame. in the lockerroom he didn't acknowledge his problems and just gave a cheesy mcd statement - and palyers were pissed. o vs. d. i forget the OL but he was ready to throw fists  and hughes was pissed at the defensive staff, too. 

 

the same story was with dabol. dabol saw mcd was a fraud and left.

 

remember the chargers peterman game? the team leaders went to mcd and said they did not like having peterman start but dennison pushed mcd to do it and mcd didn't listen to his team. in the halftime lockerroom the team was near mutiny when it was found out that pterman would start. players texting people that they were confused and don't get it. peterman comes out and mcd kept saying trust the process and backed peterman when his entire team gave up on him. in the end mcd used dennison as the scapegoat for mcd unwilling to make the call or trust his team.

Opposing teams have figured out Brady right now; he needs to change things up.  And effective changing up doesn’t mean pulling your star RB out of the game, or calling jet sweeps on 3rd and 1.  

[ScottishBills]

Yet another night of all the classic excuses being rolled out - and a section of fans who just cant seem to quit believing them or quoting them or just generally repeating these trash talking points:

 

We face Cover 2 all the time so we HAVE to play underneath - name any other offence anywhere in the top 24 of the NFL that has no deep threat whatsoever? That when the game comes down to it, do not actually have a functioning pass offence*

 

Cook cant pass block - name any other offence anywhere in the top 24 of the NFL that has only 1 upper tier skill player and takes them off the field in crunch time. Seriously just one.

 

Play design was good, just a bit off on execution, it will be fine next week - name any other offence anywhere in the top 24 of the NFL whose most difficult down and distance is ***** 3rd and 1  / 3rd and 2 - ffs, run a sneak, first down, move on

 

The Bills offence is historically good since Brady, 30 points yadda yadda - use your damn eyes. There is no passing offence. It doesn't exist beyond 5 yards to Kincaid and prayers to Coleman when all else is lost. 

 

Never had it so good, remember the drought - this one is so ***** stupid, i wont bother

 

Beane drafted Allen, he is a baller - just look at the last 2 drafts and free agency - jesus wept! I mean seriously, its pathetic. Never mind, they will be good in year 4 of being here, just before we overpay another 6.5/10 player

 

Something has to change!!!!

 

 

*ignore which muppet comes and says what about Baltimore last 4 minutes - that is not a ***** plan. And what about all the other games

He should be in on 3rd down, and he shouldnt be blocking. It's that simple.

And why did we just completly give up on the QB sneak? Even if teams figured it out 15-20% of the time, let's say, it's still better than the BS they are calling now!

My thought is they feel the rush push eventually going to be banned so don't rely on it or concerned about injuring Allen.

The tush push might, but QB sneaks certainly won't. Just get the 1st; tush push until its banned

It had to be McD. He’s terrified of him being in there when the OL is getting destroyed like that. 

And I'm getting lit up with some posters here scared to admit to it. When our team is getting beat down and the OL breaking down, there is no reason to keep punching the ball with James Cook. It's just idiotic. Reeks full of ego mentality, which isn't smart.

[RyanC883]

I think they take Cook out because no RB1 runs the entire game, except perhaps CMC.   We are missing a capable RB2 (or an OC who knows how to use one). 

 

That said, I'm 100% glad Cook was pissed off at giving the ball to Moore instead of him or Allen.

yeah, Brady may not survive the season.  McD needs another scapegoat, and Brady is just falling into it for him.
