Bleeding Bills Blue

I think Daboll's preferred QB will be one who doesn't suck. Like every qb he's been saddled with as a o-coordinator. Tyrod's on the same timetable as last year. If we sign someone in the first 3 days he's obviously gone. If we don't go hard at QBs, he's going to have to take a paycut. As for the spread - they have run a spread offense for years. Most college teams run it in one shape or form. There's that air-raid type that throws 50 times. There's urban meyer teams that barely throw at all. Those rich rodriguez/art briles combo teams. The lane kiffin RPO type spread. I doubt saban all of a sudden wants to throw it 70 times a game when he wins 13 games a year with a legit bad QB in hurts. He'll probably add more PA, and screens - now that it looks like hurts is out.

I mean - score was closer.. We had nothing going on offense, and the defense was getting routinely beat - both darby and gilmore.

Bomb to goodwin kept us in the game and we couldnt stop fitz

It wasn't much better on the other side of the ball

The dome issue is real for Brees IMO - over his career his comp% drops 5 points outdoors, the teams w-l record is about .500, YPA goes down. He's also thrown a lot more interceptions than brady.

True - they did lose a few talented players from 2016-2017, and Hurts is just... not a particularly good QB.

Gloves now are basically stick-um

That's an absurd waste of time preparation. The receivers only ran like 3 routes - what were all the plays?!

He was having the team prep somewhere like 50-60 plays for each game. I'm all for game-planning and putting new stuff in for an opponent, but how many trap and power runs do you have? Can't you just change the formations?

Mariota is a young Tyrod Taylor imo. He struggles a bit as a rhythm passer, but hes not as elusive in the pocket and sails a lot of throws to the outside. Guy needs a lot of work. They added a ton of weapons - he has 2 good backs, investment in the o-line. Rishard matthews, decker, corey davis, delanie walker, demarco murray and Derrick henry. And they sucked on offense.

To be fair - he never really had a good passing game. He got canned because his game management skills were crap. If we got the ball down 3 with 2 minutes and no timeouts... there was a 0 percent chance of even tying it.

Yeah - it was the same with alex smith, and with CK. Im not sure what it would have looked like with someone like Brady... but I imagine if he had goff, wentz, bortles, whomever - he'd still run a ton of pistol, read-option/triple-option stuff and have his QB taking off.

Roman was not without his issues. Even in San Francisco he wore out his welcome. The passing attack is just too basic - it results in a lot of sacks and is designed for scramblers. A lot of verticals, hitches, out routes. Safe stuff that doesn't result in picks. If the reads aren't there you are supposed to just take off running and avoid turnovers. My big problem with him was the lack of a 2 minute offense. That and it taking like 30 seconds to get a play call in so there was never any pre-snap motion, hard counts, and we'd get penalties.

I think it's really just in conceptualizing the offense, and naming plays. You said it better. I think it lends to a better no huddle attack once everyone is on the same page - but that might just be brady being good.

I always liked this one - https://www.pro-football-reference.com/boxscores/201011210cin.htm Bills/Bengals. 2 terrible teams in a shootout, and the Why so serious?

Woe is me. You're the wealthiest non-pegula there, and you act like a brat.

I dunno... multiple suspensions for drugs. Drag racing. Enjoyed 2 years in Club rex. Showed up late to a preseason GAME. not a meeting, not a practice. a GAME. Show a little accountability for yourself Marcel.

Yeah?

He's not even a starter...

I think they didn't see a large drop off after davis/yarbrough/capi played... and none of them was expensive or hard to acquire.

Yeah - been like a long time since he was a coordinator in the NFL and he spent a lot of time with McDaniels before going to bama. Clearly with Hurts you're going to run a lot.

I know if my QB sucks I'm going to take the ball from his hands as much as possible...

Whats the excuse for not using his arms/hands...? Even holding a foot there will prevent him from getting out of bounds. I could see jumping up for a deflection and missing or something trying to play the ball there. But you let him catch it - all you had to do was tackle him!

He does take really good care of his body - if he wants to keep playing and continues playing at a high level I say let him. I'd actually consider extending him to lower the cap hit this year if he plans on playing in 2019.

Personally, i liked Keenum in 2016. I felt like he was shredding us until he threw that pick-6 to NRC. Then the wheels came off - but still wouldve liked to have brought him in over Yates.
