Props to Joe Brady

[Draconator]

In the Chicago/Green Bay game, the Bears final TD was a fake bubble screen, then Williams threw it to a wide open DJ Moore for the score.

 

Today, the exact same play was used by the Bills for the Kincaid TD. Brady either had that play deep in the playbook, or he put it in late last night or today before the game.

 

Good play call and recognizing what would work.

Not the first time we ran it this year 

 

He runs it every 5 Weeks and it's been highly successful

 

It does show he's willing to not overrun a play to get too much of it on tape weekly

The bills have been using that concept for years going back multiple OC's

As much as we hate on Brady, with Josh as QB, our offense is not the issue. Thank God for Cole Bishop for though. Kid is gonna be a gamer.

Hard to do the props. He threw multiple swing passes to Shakir and they were blown up in the first half. I will give him credit, because there was one in 2nd half that actually had blocking. But I don't get the first half play designs.

yeah, those Shakir bubble screens worked today in some critical spots.

Be fair that's why it's a 60 minute game and some of those screens are setting up the touchdown to Kincaid later 

 

You lure them in... And then execute 

 

That's why they're professionals.. shakir was 12 for 12 

 

That game plan with him was absolute perfection

[L Ron Burgundy]

Plus for that play for sure.  But a minus for the first half offense which was as vanilla as a preseason playbook.  But we won idc.

Okay. fair take. setting up for future plays is a big strategy. But those plays were risking drives. Dangerous strategy.

This was a well called game, I think Brady rightfully abandoned the run game and just let Josh chuck it.

I understand that and it could be frustrating at times 

 

But I watched Tom Brady throw bubble screens on 3rd and 8th for 15 years 

 

Just so in the fourth quarter the entire playbook was open because they were building off of that... You have fake bubble screen screens the other way... You have fake bubble and go.. fake bubble and power quarterback run...  You're keeping the defense guessing

A stopped clock...

 

Someone made the brilliant comment that Brady called a season's worth of blown-up Shakir screens just to set up the fake screen/TD throw to Kincaid.

lol, yeah i for one was shocked! I mean how did this high octane sh*t brickhouse Jags D that we all heard many talk about, the rare time and can probably count on one hand the times it's been successful out of the far too many times we've seen it all year.... somehow it worked against that killer Jags D.

 

                  go figure lol

Agree

 

And executed at a near perfect level

Wondering if Johnson stole that from us...we've run that a bunch over the last few years.

To be fair professional football is 100 years old 

 

Every play is basically on tape... Everybody has been stealing from everybody forever .. but when you're installing a game plan you might have 500 plays in your playbook but you're going to narrow it down to 70 or 100 potential play calls

He also waters downs by running up the  middle for short gains against a good run defense.  We won in spite of Joe Brady.  He sucks

They are an extension of the run game, so if they pick up 4-5 yards that's a win. He's gotten more out of them than that several times and took one to the house against the Saints.

I’m still livid about that 3rd and 8 holding call…shouldn’t have even taken the INT lol. Probably not rational to be this angry about a blown call after a win 😂

 

I think that and the unnecessary roughness on hurts’ super late slide were the two worst made calls of the weekend granted there were some bad no calls

The ones today were very much the same vibe as low risk outside runs.  I’m surprised we didn’t run them that spot downfield all year.  At worst it was a 3 yard gain which kept us on schedule 

 

if you’re running outside with cook it could get blown up for a pretty big loss
