Absolutely. At first I thought it may have been an RPO, but after looking at the replay, I see that it’s just a straight up hand off. The WRs don’t even move on the snap. They just stand there. If you’re going to so that, then put in your big guys.

He wasn’t clearly downfield when the ball was thrown. It was a very close call. And since it had absolutely no bearing on the play I’m fine with the no call. Calling that play back because the OL was a foot too far downfield would have been exactly the kind of nonsense I hate from the officials.

If you think this then you should waste a few minutes visiting some other fan sites. They will be an eye opener.

Or you get Tom Brady. But I agree that Allen is very exciting to watch. He makes a lot of amazing plays that more that compensate for his screw ups.

I think it’s funny that so many people in this thread are good with Von slowly working his way back into form so that he is ready for the playoffs. The Bills really need help now to make the playoffs. With their remaining schedule they’re going to be in a dogfight to get in. If there is anyone else available who can help then they need to activate him and keep Von on the bench.

This is a huge pet peeve of mine. They execute the play and complete the pass, but still don’t get the first down. I hate it.

I think the idea is that the opposing team can’t use the play (or at least the formation) they like best but have to go to plan B. Same as when this is done in basketball. The downside, IMO, is that it gives the offense time to think, whereas they would probably be scrambling otherwise. Based on the results, it doesn’t look like its made any difference but of course there’s no way to know for sure.

I think McDermott has done a great job in creating and managing a winning team culture. However, he is not a great game day coach. I guess you can have everything.

You mean like playing to the skills of their elite QB? This sounds like the Doug Whaley team building strategy- Get whatever good players you can find and hope the coaches can figure out a way to make it work.

It makes no sense. The Bills are a pass first team. Is he going to split carries with Cook?

Hill is amazing.

But other than that, …

Ok, false start.

Isn’t the Eagle RT Offside on every single pass play?

Should have done this…

QB missing open receivers, drops, … the list can go on. It’s amazing how far the offense has fallen in two years.

I know, right? It’s bad enough that they have to keep them in but then they miss their blocks anyway, 😂. Better off just sending them out.

I think this is deceptive. They are keeping TEs and RBs in to help block or at least chip on their way out so the protection is better but there are fewer receiving options. The other team double teams Diggs so they need other options to go to if they’re going to be consistent.

This is a core problem. The Bills do run it more and have been better at it than last season, but not so much that teams come out of their pass defenses.

Ok. Let’s give it a try.

Then how are they going to keep 7 guys in to block?

Honestly, there are so many things wrong that formation seems like the least of it. I would probably start with: - lack of big plays - pre snap penalties - OL getting steamrolled

Not good. He’s sounding like Chan Gailey… I suspect the last thing the players want to hear when things are off the rails is that the coach has no idea how to fix it.

It would have been a very close, ticky tack call that had absolutely nothing to do with the play. Is that what we’re crying about now? How about making a tackle?

They had 3 points at halftime. So the D is playing from behind the entire game.
