Wondering what the Bucs will do with Arians and Winston
Arinas isn't going anywhere but Winston will most likely be gone. I look for them to make a move in the draft this year to get a QB or possibly sign Dalton.

The only bad loss we had all season was against the Eagles. All the rest of them were close. Within 7 points of the Pats twice and the Ravens. All three games could've went either way and there's nothing to say they couldn't end in our favor in the playoffs.

Some people here are really into the specifics of the game. When you are analyzing every play, stats etc. there's always room for criticism. McDermott and those guys say it every week, every week they have work to do, every week they are trying to get better.

The offensive line has clearly been better.... however I'm not the biggest Daboll fan and had the conservative offensive philosophy as a whole.... I don't think it's a good thing to have one of the more complex offenses in the league.
Correct, complex doesn't mean good. In fact, it usually means poor results. These are athletes, you don't want them thinking, you want them to play as fast as possible.

White mom sees Latino fans acting like white Bills fans in Bflo, in my section all the time, and jumps to the stereotype conclusion they're members of the most dangerous street gang in American. By that logic, all the same white Bills fan in my section who would without a doubt do the same thing to ANYONE from another team's fanbase taking pictures in New Era must e neo-Nazis. White people, good god.
Couldn't resist joining in on the racist stereotype fun, could ya?

This is an over-simplified and, in my opinion, incorrect take.
The Bills DID try to run screens. They're TERRIBLE at them. Is the offensive coordinator to blame for that? Maybe, but also maybe not. The players still have to execute them, mind you, and they've been consistently unable to do so.
The assumption that Allen would just automatically be better in a different offense is just that -- an assumption.
If anything, Daboll has completely tailored the current Bills offense to the strengths of Josh Allen. He has given him great ownership over the scheme and has allowed him to tell Daboll what types of plays and formations he does and doesn't like, and Daboll then implements that feedback. So if you don't like this offense, Allen shoulders some of the blame, as well.
It's just as likely that if Allen weren't in such a QB-friendly offense and were forced to adhere to a more stubborn coach, he'd be WORSE, not better.3rd in throw aways, first in drop percentage, 3rd in total drops, 31st in pocket time at 2.3 seconds, 5th in blitzes faced, 9th in completed air yards but 25th in yards after catch... there are a lot of stats that point to the OC and supporting cast faltering around him.
Poorly designed plays usually have a poor outcome. The Bills fan base also just assumed that we got new players, so his supporting cast must be better. That hasn't really panned out either. John Brown and Beasley are better, sure. But the rest of the group is just as bad as last year. Or is it that the offensive coordinator is the same, so the results are the same? Do you shitcan the entire roster again? Or do you maybe go hey, this coordinator who has never been successful at the NFL level? Maybe he's the issue and we should make a change.
Hopefully it takes care of itself and someone stupidly hires him as a head coach or something.

D'oh
much love to my namesake
Been on the boards so long, I thought of you before the real Golden Wheels. Glad you're OK!

If Josh Allen was in a different offense he would be more successful, statistically speaking. Hopefully that happens in the offseason. I know people love to make excuses for Daboll but he just isn't good. What kind of modern NFL offense doesn't run screens? And they even got TJ Yeldon which made me think we were finally going to run screens. But no. I mean I hate to break it to you guys that are arguing about his completion percentage but a lot of these QBs with high completion percentages, they throw a lot of successful screens.

Bills game plan today was to not blitz Brady and it really exposed how desperate this team is for pass rushers along the DL. Brady had all day all game. Ideally we will have two new starters next year. What do we do with the guys we have and who do we get?
Hughes- don't see a reason to cut or trade him. Keep him as a vet situational player but his days as a starter should be over.
Lawson- really hope the bills don't re sign him. He's been solid this year no doubt, but it's also the first year he's really even been noticeable. In a contract year hmm? And right now our d line is full of "solid" guys, our problem is we have no real impact players. He's going to get overpaid, use the money to go out and get some stud playermakers that will really make a difference.
Murphy- he has to go, right? Does anyone have a case for not cutting him? He's completely useless out there.
If Ngakoue makes it to FA he should be our #1 target. We have the cap space, get him. We also need to take a guy rounds 1/2 of the draft.
Stopped reading right there. He got out muscled by a 42 year old QB. Hughes needs to be shipped right out of here the moment it's time to clean out the lockers. He can't play the run, he can't sack the QB. Useless.
Lawson will get paid, we'll draft someone and hopefully start throwing that cap money around and bring in someone like Armstead from the 49ers.

The offense was facing the #1 defense in the league. Scored more points than they typically allow. Brady was allegedly facing the #2 (or #3) defense in the league and marched up and down the field at will. And with how little the offense saw the ball in the first half it's almost a miracle they somehow scored 17 points.
-
He has had two games now where he has a chance to tie the game against the 1 and 2 seed in the playoffs. Franchise QBs make big plays in those moments so I'm not as confident as I was that he'll stick around. The positive is he was real sloppy and inconsistent last year, worked his ass off in the offseason and came back more polished and has played much better this year. If he can do that this offseason then we will be in good shape.

I mean, he's 6'1 and 205. That isn't small small. It's not huge, but I think it's easy to get too focused on height. We need a bigger guy, yes, but we need first and foremost, someone who can consistantly make plays. My WR wish list is as follows:
1- CeeDee Lamb, Oaklahoma
2- Jerry Juedy, Alabama
3- Henry Ruggs, III Alabama
4a- Tee Higgins, Clemson
4b- Laviska Shenault, Colorado
After that there are a lot of guys with second round grades who I haven't really figured out who I like best.
This is a great look at the top of the WR class for 2020:https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2864432-ranking-the-top-10-wide-receivers-of-potentially-historic-2020-nfl-draft-class
6' 1" and 205 is fine but as you alluded to, size isn't everything. We need a receiver that is physical and can make a play on the ball. Our current group gets man handled against defenses like the Steelers and Ravens. Beasley all but disappears and Brown struggled against the Ravens because they were putting hands on him out of his breaks. Someone like Michael Pittman from USC or Tee Higgins from Clemson would be what I would want in the lower part of round 1.
EDIT: Also, that link says that Greg Roman is the OC of the Bills lol

That last sentence.
A cornerback with our first pick when we have White and Wallace? Geeze. Is that the standard finishing sentence used for every team, or does he actually think we need a corner?
Well, Wallace is awful so...

Speaking of which, did anyone else seem to notice Ben looks like he may be pushing 290lbs right now last night?
He isn't throwing so I guess that means he isn't doing anything else either.

"Still" pining for Jackson? He emerged as a superstar like 12 weeks ago not 12 years ago. I'd have to say it's still kind of a fresh topic.
That is reminiscent of people last year being upset that others were STILL talking about the decision to pass on Mahomes and wondering when discussion of that old as dino-***** topic would end.
Yes, "still." As in he was drafted by the Ravens nearly two years ago now. Time to get over it. Not the first QB that's been good that we've passed on. Aaron Rodgers? Drew Brees? Russell Wilson? Nick Foles? Kirk Cousins? I mean, we've passed on a ***** ton of QBs over the years.

I cannot for the life of me understand why anyone would think Meyer would make a good NFL head coach.
Meyer, like most great college coaches, is a recruiter. He's never been an Xs and Os guy and has mostly relied on having better players than pretty much everyone he faces.
In the NFL where everyone operates under the same cap, I think he'd be a complete train wreck.
Being a Gators fan, I love him for his time in Florida, and you are absolutely right. His stint in the NFL would be very Nick Saban, Chip Kelly esque. The only thing I will say is that if he could recruit NFL coaches well... then he might pose a problem because he is great at assembling a staff that makes him look like a genius.

I don't think Urban makes the jump, he was just there to watch Dwayne and Terry.

From what I see... Brown and Foster run the deep routes, Beasley and Knox (Kroft occasionally LOL) run the shorter routes, and McKenzie and Roberts run the quick flats designed to take advantage of their speed to the outside. I see no role for Duke right now, and so the inactive status makes sense to me. We only have so many roster spots... so whose spot would he take then if he's fully capable? Curious... I love the guy but it's like musical chairs out there...
He would take DiMarco's spot. Talk about non essential to the team. We run 11 personnel almost 80% of the time. Would rather have Duke available to rotate in than a FB we never use.

So does Beasley. Are you telling me Edelman catches 100% of difficult thrown balls?
He makes the big catches when they are needed most. Something Bills receivers still struggle with. There isn't a QB in the league that throws a perfect ball every time. Sometimes, if the ball hits you in the hands, you've got to make the play.

If Allen simply makes a better throw, there isn’t an INT. You can blame Daboll for a poor executed throw.
You sign Beasley to be our version of Edelman and these are routine routes for him. Beasley isn’t the only small WR who runs these routes. Daboll came from NE, we are doing very similar play designs.
... Edelman routinely makes those kinds of catches for Brady....

NE fans are hating life right now. Lookie here...

Oh when Tommy retires after this year... They are in for a rude awakening. Free agents won't collude to go there. Stadium will start look a little thin in attendance. Woe is Boston.
