Buffalo Bills 2025 is a Matchup Nightmare - PFF

[BillytheKid]

I know some don’t like PFF but thought this was a good 14 minute video. 
 

Showing how Brady uses the Tight Ends and how good they are with them and using Cook out 12 and 13 personnel. 
Even though Brady gets on my nerves sometimes he does a great job for the most part. Just needs to make sure no more games like against Atlanta. 

[Goin Breakdown]

Damn it. Now I like Brady again. 

[Trogdor]

Until a team slows Kincaid and there is no other option. Having a good TE is an asset, but what happens when they need another blocker or a second option? Coleman isn't it.

Guess they have Gilliam confused with Quintin Morris.

Gilliam and Hawes have been excellent this year. I am waiting for a play action run fake to Cook with Gilliam being the lead and getting behind the defense for a big gain at a critical time.

I think there is so much more potential on this and while I realize I'm a bum sitting on the toilet with my thoughts and Brady is a professional sitting on the coaches chair with professionals... I think we can do better.

 

We like tight formations but spread our OL out wide. We don't always do this but we create large run lanes with our blocks when we do or let Josh scramble through more open windows when he must. With these tight formations teams pull their defense in but we don't have the speed to exploit it / do not take advantage of it. Several times in 12, often 22 (with Gilliam), or even 23 packages we can put someone taking the top off the defense and complete short passes. We could go back to the RPO we are capable of or just play action.

 

Our running game is going to get us the furthest in the playoffs of all the things we do and protect the defense. However, we have to show the ability to pass deep and scheme the zones open. If anyone has the stats I'd like to see what defenses we are seeing predominantly, man vs zone and coverage calls because I have seen far too much man on the WRs and single high coverage to be happy.

They have options. Allen had his typical 2 game mid October skid where he reverts back to rookie Josh Allen and has happy feet, throws off a bad platform, bails out of clean pockets and doesn't take what's there but looks for more. Kinda like last year in Baltimore and Houston games.

 

Now we will see normal Josh Allen the rest of the way.

 

The only team that really can beat the Bills are the Bills.

That’s a good first step boyst; remember there are 11 more steps after it.  One day at a time my friend.

He’s got his pros and cons. There are things to like about his offense. He turned Cook into a star. Allen rarely gets sacked. I do like that he doesn’t beat Allen into the ground like Daboll did. 

 

What i dislike like is his tendency to get cute in the worst situations. I don’t like like the fact that he can’t scheme up a deep passing game. I also think he misuses Cook in the pass game. I also think players like Gilliam and Hawes deserve a bigger role.

There's something about his name that rubs me the wrong way, but I just can't put my finger on it... 🤔

Wait…I thought it was all Kromer.

Yeah everything you said is spot on.

Interesting. I think I know what you mean. It's on the tip of my tongue.

Give it time

[ProcessTruster]

many on this board want the Beasley/Brown/Sanders/McKenzie "light-em up" passing offense a la 2020, back when DCs thought Josh wasn't any good, played man and got torched for about 18 months.  

 

Well, the world has adjusted with 2 deep zones, etc. ; those days are largely gone and many in Bills Mafia have never themselves adjusted, even through the team has .   

 

Drake Maye will go through the same thing.

I just wish they'd try to use Coleman in a different way. Let him play out of the slot for a bit or something, because it seems clear that he's not successful in his role right now and I think Allen just doesn't have trust in him to try and force him the ball after the last few games.

Just looking at his splits - play action seems to be where he's been at his best - as well as when the offense is under center

 

Under center - 9 targets, 9 catches 96 yards 1 TD and 9 first downs.  

Play action - 7 gargets, 7 catches 84 yards 1 TD and 7 first downs.  

 

Where his numbers look worst is when they need more than 10 yards and those have been the back shoulder throws that have all been pretty rough.  The timings bad, the throws are bad, etc.  

 

Greater than 10 yards to go - 23 targets, 14 catches 152 yards and 8 first downs

Less than 10 yards to go - 18 targets, 15 catches 132 yards and 12 first downs

 

Lastly - he only has 6 targets in the first quarter of games so far through 8 games.  He may benefit from earlier targets to help "get in the game".
