Is it McDermott or Brady?

2020 was our best offense when you consider PPG. Since then there has been a very clear shift to a running offense. It's real cool that it works in the regular season, but it's been sputtering in the postseason. Even the Ravens game last playoffs was a fluke thanks to the great field position. 

We've been top 10 in passing yards every season since 2020 including this year.

Based on post game comments by McD, it's mostly all on Brady.

 

Here's what I don't understand.  The Bills WR were not great last year, but we still had one of the top offenses in leage, Allen won MVP, it wasn't just because of his running ability.  While many wanted more improvements for 2025, seemed most felt the WR group was better this year than last with the addition of Palmer and Coleman having a year more experience.  The Coleman part hasn't worked out, but even there, statistically not any worse than last year.  Hollins was good last year , but he is far from a #1 WR.  Kincaid also has been improved.

 

So what happened?

Turnovers has happened on both sides of the ball. The offense has turned the ball over more than they did last season and the defense has gotten fewer turnovers this season. 

They have regressed to the mean and it's making a big difference in how this team plays.

This hasn't changed. We're still #2 in the league in offensive yards and #5 in points this season. #2 and #3 in terms of points and yards on a per drive basis.
