$55m to run 13

[SectionC3]

It’s as dumb as it sounds.  Let’s take a once in many lifetimes QB, pay him $55m, stick him under center, run a ton of 13, take him totally out of rhythm, and intentionally try to limit the number of possessions we give him.  We’re playing a style teams on a rookie QB contract or mid level starter should use, meaning that the balance of our roster will be of lesser quality.  It’s so friggin dumb it boggles the mind.  That’s it.  Discuss.  

[Brand J]

He hasn’t been utilized as a superstar QB this season, nor is he consistently playing like one. I’m all for a shakeup offensively. You think the Colts have better pieces on offense than we do? I don’t, yet they’re putting up numbers under Steichen. Get a coordinator in here who excels in the passing game and watch the offense elevate to higher ground.

Because the goal of the team is to win 

 

And this team if they just dropped Josh back 45 times a game Josh would be on IR 

 

We need a healthy balance attack to win which is always the goal 

 

Regardless of the team assembled.. the goal once the season starts is to win the game 

 

The best way for this team to win is to hand it off to James Cook and then let Josh be Josh situationally.. hopefully this does not continue past this year 

 

But that is the best route to winning right now

Balance is the key.  We’re not there.  Also, we can be balanced without neutering 17.

I miss the Daboll offenses. Trubisky could throw these dumb tunnel screens. Seems like were wasting Allen and yup the handling of WR position is malpractice by the front office.

I do like the 13 , 12 , 22 looks but they should be a minority in our offense,  we really have no identity with a unicorn at QB , it's disgusting,  get an established OC in here for ***** sake 

[4th&long]

When I saw allen run for the first time in the game in the second half I was surprised to see him run. We should not be surprised to see him run.

You're kidding me, right?

 

Tyler Warren > Kincaid

 

Pittman Jr > Palmer/Coleman

 

Alec Pierce > Samuel/Shavers

 

Shakir maybe slightly better than Downs

 

I'll take Indys receivers over ours all day every day

You make a really good point about Indy..

This is what happens when you have a $14m QB.  We don’t, so we should rely on that guy to overcome weaknesses elsewhere.  But we play slow and under center and make no effort to attack in that way.

Neither group of receivers are outstanding and they have Daniel Jones throwing the ball. Imagine if that same coordinator was calling plays for Josh Allen and the Bills. I think you’d see all positions elevate their level of play with more competent game plans. 
 

If Josh was throwing to Tyler Warren, Alec Pierce, Josh Downs, and Michael Pittman Jr, with Joe Brady calling plays, it’d be much of the same.

We also had Diggs in his prime. That helped. 

[SCBills]

Offensive philosophy is a joke.  
 

Defense is built to play with a lead, but we run an Offense that burns clock and plays ball control.  
 

Got it.  
 

Nevermind the fact JA clearly needs WR’s and not more TE’s.. the entire offense/defense philosophy makes zero sense.

Diggs is still looking pretty prime for the Pats.

The guys on WGR and Sal were discussing this earlier. They think behind closed doors the Bills are purposely playing the long game with Allen as McBeane often mentions the importance of keeping Josh healthy.  
They imply that they are going through the season, play him conservative, stay healthy.  Of course you actually have to WIN games too and even assuming they get in, the road games will be brutal 

[BillsFan130]

Yep spot on.

We play teams like we are underdogs when we have a generational QB.

 

It really is maddening
