How many picks does Poyer and Hyde have between the two of them? 1 I think? Not to mention the run defense the past three games, they're responsible for gaps as well. Milano hasn't been a factor really since coming back from injury. John Brown is a good number 2. We need guys that will literally take over a game from their spot, we just don't have a lot of those. An elite edge rusher and receiver are sorely missing from this team.

Buffalo Bills Might Be Most Flawed 6-2 Team You’ve Ever Seen

You realize the score doesn't matter aside from whether it's a win or loss? -

They beat the Redskins 9 nothing so i guess we're better than the 9ers... -
Buffalo Bills Might Be Most Flawed 6-2 Team You’ve Ever Seen
Luka replied to TwistofFate's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
We lack guys that take over games. Allen has been great in 4th quarter. Singletary showed yesterday that he should be the featured player in the offense. On defense you have Phillips and Tre White. The rest of the team you better rewatch the game a couple times to even notice who's out there at times. -
You're comparing the fullback position to an edge rusher. We need a hell of a lot more production out of Jerry.

Buffalo Bills Might Be Most Flawed 6-2 Team You’ve Ever Seen
Luka replied to TwistofFate's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Lamar threw for 163 yards last night and everyone is slobbering all over him. 143 in the loss to the Seahawks. 161 and 3 picks against the Steelers. It's just funny to me the opposite reactions to similar performances by Jackson and Allen on teams that are both 6-2. Jackson is the next coming of Jesus Christ and Allen is a bust yet both are dual threat QBs, Allen being the better passer, Jackson the better runner.- 303 replies

He won't be around next year. Bills need to be big players in free agency and the draft to get some pressure on the edges. It's really the difference between this defense being great and being elite.

Never even saw your comment.

It is extremely stupid to continue to point at the schedule. The NFL has the schedule structured a certain way in that the schedules are determined by which divisions play each other. There are only two games chosen based on prior year performance. People talk about it like the NFL is handpicking a bad team for us to play each week.

Until the play calling improves I think we'll continue to see around 200 yards passing. Just not enough screens and receivers in space. A lot of guys with big yards through the air benefit from YAC. Josh just doesn't get those kinds of plays often. Shame too, as we watched Singletary take a quick screen 49 yards today. Daboll seems to get a bunch of credit for running a modern offense but modern offenses employ quick screens. Daboll's does not.

Anyone else getting concerned about our running game?
Luka replied to 78thealltimegreat's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Loved that we were committed to the run but I can see why Daboll ignores it, some of his run designs are just putrid. Gore also looked old today. We need to run more RPOs in short yardage. Worked like a charm on Singletary's touchdown. Maybe work in some two back sets. -
What "type" of fan are you? Coming clean
Luka replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
The first Bills game I watched was the divisional playoff game against the Browns in 89. Watched wide right, watched the blow outs, watched the drought. I used to read fictional sports stories as a kid (football related), I even took out a book on how to play football from the library that was written in the early 50's (which was actually pretty interesting, I wish I could remember the name of it). I expanded to also following college football in 2005 when I moved to Florida and it became impossible to watch the Bills (Go Gators). I've taken time off of work to follow the draft. I love football and can't quit the Bills. -
Ed O A Pipe Dream or a Dream Team Position Change ?
Luka replied to T master's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
As a package, I'm fine with them doing this. Lawson, Phillips, Star and Oliver could be a good run stopping package. But as a permanent move? No way. People need to realize that other than Oliver and Philips, the D line is trash. We're going to be looking at the draft and free agency to get a pass rush in the off season. Horrible Harry will be back next year and then the defense will be elite. No more paper tigers. -
That should play to his advantage, but somehow it doesn't. That 12 personnel should be lethal in play action but again, I think it comes back to the groupings. If they are going to run, Smith is in. Pass, it was Sweeney and Kroft but now Knox and Kroft. Daboll should take some notes from his former boss McDaniel's and maybe start running some two back sets. Gore and Singletary at the same time. Can motion one of them out of the back field. Fake draw to screen. An actual draw play (I mention it just because I can't recall a time this year we ran a draw). Be like McVay, figure out how to keep your best players on the field and get them the ball. And just to tie this into the Browns, we still need that Odell type of threat in the passing game where teams have to consider doubling him. It might just be Josh's inability to get the ball deep this year but we are really getting handled by teams that play man coverage because they have no reason not to play man.
-
That's a great observation. Maybe it's just time to pick the starters and roll with them. Just understand the weaknesses and play to our strengths. I think you're definitely spot on, it does seem to make us very predictable. If McKenzie is in, watch the sweep. If Murphy and Star are in the game, run the football etc.
-
My personal opinion is Daboll needs to move towards shoring up the personnel groupings. Do we really need Lee Smith on the field now that Kroft is healthy? McKenzie played really well last year and now we only see him for gadget plays? He's got speed, why is it Roberts and not McKenzie on the deep balls? Where's Foster? He had great chemistry with Allen by the end of the season last year. We've had something like 160+ unique personnel groupings which was top 3 in the league at one point, doesn't seem to bode well for consistency.
-
I personally think he does it too much because you have to actually run the real play for the fake to work. 9 times out of 10 it's just window dressing that slows down the development of the play. I don't think the Eagles committed to the motion a single time. Now if we actually handed the ball off on jet sweeps more than once a game, threw a screen to the guy in motion etc. with more consistency then I'd be fine with it. But as it stands, I think his tendencies are showing on film and that's why the Eagles weren't buying it.
-
Funny how Kitchens and Daboll both like to run a lot of stupid gadget plays, motions etc and both young QBs are struggling. Baker more so than Allen but still... both teams would benefit having real NFL coordinators. That play with Baker was just an absolutely terrible play design.

As we've seen all over the league, if you've been within 50 feet of Belichek's dirty jock strap, you are the next big thing in coaching. Feel bad for whoever jumps on the Daboll grenade.
