‘Dennison kept calling three and five-step drops, putting Taylor under center, and the quarterback really never seemed comfortable with those concepts. It wasn’t until the first month or so of the season had gone by before Dennison started to adapt some of the concepts from last year that made the Bills an efficient offense, but still, he had never fully committed to tailoring the scheme he ran to the strengths of his players.’

Joe B: 7 observations from Buffalo Bills – Jacksonville Jaguars (1/7/18)
‘The Buffalo Bills had it all lined up. The Jaguars committed a terrible encroachment penalty on what would have been a field goal attempt which gave the Bills new life, and a 1st-and-goal opportunity from the one-yard line. The Bills had everything lined up and would have jumped out to a 7-0 lead, which, for this game, would have felt insurmountable based on how Jacksonville had been playing on offense. It was the ultimate swing play.’
