I was at the game and let me tell you what was happening downfield

Former NFL wide receiver reiterating what I said the opening post.

 

“(Bills) wide receivers got OWNED”

 

When sunday they were blanketed; they were BLANKETED.

I disagree, as we all saw what can happen with proper game plans against the Chiefs and Bucs. As others have pointed out, and even McD stated that the play calling was off...

 

McDermott added, “I believe in our offensive staff,” but it’s clear that the offensive scheme needs to get better. Right now, the whole Bills’ offense revolves around expecting Allen to make plays, even when he’s under relentless pressure. That’s not a winning formula.

I’m going to suggest it’s more than just scheme.  The offense looks a lot like it did last year, prior to acquiring Amari Cooper.  Regardless of his actual production, he provided a consistent and respectable downfield threat that defenses had to account for.   Once he arrived the entire offense looked better.   
 

They entered this year thinking Palmer could provide that.  For a couple reasons, he simply has not.  We have no one the defense has to respect on deep routes.  Hence, they can crowd the line, clog the rushing lanes and get after Allen.  
 

Beane tried to pull another Amari type trade at the deadline, but he looked within the division.  That, and thinking Palmer (or Coleman) would be a downfield threat, were huge mistakes that have left our offense in a bind.  It’s predictable, inconsistent and easy to scheme against.  Exactly as it was early last season. 
 

They need to hire a scout that can identify WR talent.  Clearly, this front office lacks that ability.

Zero respect for our receivers. Single high, stacked inside the sticks

 

They KNOW we had no-one who could gain any separation.

Great video.  The play design is terrible too. 
 

 

HEY BEANE!!!!!  cutting Knox Milano Samuel bass Rapp and D jones saves almost 39 million.

 

Thats enough to cover Justin Jefferson’s contract and resign Knox at 4 million/year.  Maybe go buy George Pickens this offseason!?!?

WE miss Diggs as a play maker.   This may not be popular, but that guy had the knack to get open and give Allen a chance.  The same was with Cole.  We are missing those guys so badly on this offense.  Shakir has also been a BIG disappointment.   We paid him money for being a WR and not a catch at scrimmage and try making 5-7 yards (and get lucky once in a while).   There were zero slant passes to him to move the chains. 

 

Man, back then we were asking for a steady WR2 to compliment Diggs.  Now we're at the point where we're begging for somebody, anybody who can just get open.

 

And we have a GM who was basically telling people in the offseason to stop complaining.  By mid-season he's contemplating parting ways with 1st round picks because he knows he was wrong and here we are.
