3rd and a yard and a half. Do a sneak.. If you are short by half a yard, do it again

I think that's the 5th time CC has brought up Daniel jones rehab

They are so tough to figure out. Like they'll go toe to toe with Baltimore, KC etc. But then they lose or play bad against inferior teams

Yes sir I believe so

Haack is such a bad punter lol. Low line drives all game long

I can definitely start one if you would like.. lol

Its crazy that the Bills are still going to be missing 3 key players (Von, Oliver and Milano) and is considered "fairly healthy" I 100 percent agree with what you are saying- My point is it just shows how banged up the Bills have been in previous years and this season so far.

According to Joe Marino, Bills had 25 plays on first down and ran on 19 of them... I knew it was predictable and bad, but didn't know it was that bad

I guess it is better than the Al Queda reference so he's making improvements with his analogies..

I think the bills over corrected. Joshs fast ball is always going to be 11 personnel with shifty receivers, and the bills have transformed to more 12 personnel with bigger, slower wide receivers. I get the bills can't play offence like they did in 2020/2021 with a lot of 10/11 personnel because defences have adjusted and went more small/2 deep safeties, but I wish they met more in the middle opposed to going to this drastic change

Ahh ok fair enough , I got you

Great write up- the only thing i respectfully disagree with as mentioned above is the predictability- I literally guessed the bills play calls correctly like 9 plays in a row at one point. Great stuff though, appreciate the insights

Haha good point. For More commercials maybe?.. lol

Josh didn't play well yesterday, but the guy also has 0 help. I can remember 5 plays at the top of my head- 1.Hollins not catching/tracking that deep ball 2. Kincaid drop on the sidelines 3. Kincaid breaks his route late and pass goes through his hands 4. Coleman gets hit in the head cause he's not looking 5. MVS can't catch the ball on the 3rd and 10. Not only does that crush the stats, but they are also drive killers snd it's tough to get in a rhythm. (And not to even mention the lack of separation from his receivers) I am not absorbing Josh as he didn't play well, but his players also got to help him out a bit

Yep. I think another thing is the personnel. When they are passing on 1st down, it's usually off of play action when Anderson, Knox, Hollins and sometimes even Gilliam are eligibles This is why I'm not a big fan of the 6th offensive lineman and "role blocking wide receivers", because when you want to bake in play action off of those traditional run looks, the eligibles you have in are very bad to put it mildly

Hmm- that is definitely very interesting. I appreciate you bringing up those statistics. But ya i agree- It's crazy that they struggle on 1st down especially when Josh Allen is historically a great play action passer. (I'm assuming a lot of the passes are play action on 1st down)

Today was both. Josh was off, but ya it's definitely an issue with the receivers not creating separation. Im the biggest Josh supporter, but he missed some passes he usually makes in his sleep today

Ya he has a right hamstring injury

The big question is- Why the hell are the safeties playing the goal line when Houston only needed 5 yards... lol. McDermott will never learn from 13 seconds

It's crazy in how many crunch time moments that a McDermott coached team has blunders. 13 seconds Denver, too many men on the field. Today, only 10 guys on the field. The list goes on

Mack Hollins definitely would have made that catch Lamb made..

It's definitely both. The receivers are not good at all, but Brady also calls a predictable and vanilla game

This is where I'm at. Play action, easy button passes to get it to more 2nd and mediums/shorts. These 1st down runs aren't going to work as teams are just going to continue to stack the box until Brady shows he is willing to throw more on 1st

I definitely agree with that. The issue in my opinion though is he is "running" to try to set up the pass too often. I think he needs to switch that to "pass" to set up the run, cause teams are just gonna keep stacking the box on 1st downs. I know easier said than done as the personnel at WR is not good, but he has to change things up IMO
