Ought Oh, is Jerry now in the running for perennial TBD whipping boy? I thought DiMarco had that spot locked up already.
You're comparing the fullback position to an edge rusher. We need a hell of a lot more production out of Jerry.

Not one player from the Panthers have helped this team
Hopefully they move on from those connections. It's time this offseason, to throw the money around and bring in legitimate talent in free agency. I keep hearing we're the worst 6-2 team but aside from Allen, Singletary, White and Phillips, who are the playmakers on this team?
-
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.

Star has been the problem all year. I love the direction McBeane has this team going, but Star was an expensive mistake. He’s average on his best day. He should switch contracts with Jordan Phillips, but Star isn’t even worth Phillips’ 1yr/5m deal. Sad.
They were really relying on those Panthers players. Star and Benjamin and Murphy from the Redskins... I think Beane needs to find himself a better pro scout.
-
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.

No one sees this coming in May when the schedule comes out. The chips just fell this way for us.
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.

Practicing screens would hurt the defence either. Last in the league in defending them
Good point! LOL

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.
-
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.

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.
-
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.

It was probably just a shot at Russ Brandon and in his defense, everyone hates Russ Brandon.

Like I am almost positive they want to run more playaction for Allen (his #s in PA vs non-PA are crazy), but you need to set that up by Gore being effective...which means early game a using some 12 personnel so teams can't stack 8 in the box on run downs...but of those 2TEs it's going to be pretty obvious what your intentions are as to run or pass so they're in a bind.
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.

I see where the roster stands right now as a crisis of continuity...they don't have enough guys with the skillsets to run what they want so it looks very disjointed, both defense and offense. Like from draft it was obvious Daboll wants to run 2TE sets but they don't have enough similarly skilled TEs to stay multiple so every TE combination dictates a different play...it makes offense more predictable and easier to defend. On defense same problem w/DT 1tech rotation- scheme needs foundation 1tech but all the DTs have different skillsets once H Phillips goes down so mixing/matching interior defenders creates exploitable patterns. The roster isn't quite tailored to what they want to do yet which imo is why they look disjointed both offensively and defensively; having to mix and match guys with different skillsets to fit scheme.
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.

Everything but Daboll, which is impacting the “non-QB offensive talent.”
This. He's got a lot more weapons this year, a more mature Josh Allen, a better line, and the same or worse results. 3 out of 4 years as an OC prior to the Bills and couldn't get out of the 30s in rank. He's not cutting it.

Eagles are imo one of the best at giving same or similar offensive looks to different plays, Pederson is a very good offensive mind...they see that stuff defensively in practice and Daboll can't really compare yet. Outcoached was the deal on Sunday which is no insult to our staff, Eagles are solid both sides of the ball
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.

Actually lots of pre snap movement is the way the NFL is going for misdirection
Daboll doesn't do it enough. He runs McKenzie on a jet sweep 2-3 times a game successfully, then doesn't do it for 2 games
He could be doing way more backsides motions to try and get defenses moving 1 way pre snap then hit them the opposite
They already have to watch for the sweep so motion him and do something backside.. Daboll just runs it like a HS OC not an NFL one
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.

Cuz I want to lighten up the mood here today. Enjoy guys!
WTH?!?! Baker...
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.

But he was mentioned as a hot candidate for upcoming head coach jobs. These mentions were baffling to me as great offensive minds have their teams average 25ppg minimum.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.
-
Flacco blasted the coaching staff in Denver and he's now benched. So I mean, for you to expect anything but "positive" remarks from the locker room to the media is pretty naive.

What an ignorant response. This Belichick reject in no way runs anything resembling Bill's offenses over the years. Dumbell's offense is WAY TOO complicated and his plays take 10 seconds to develop. And many players have complained about it. So keep sitting Singletary. Keep running qb sweeps that risk injury or fumbles. Keep using Sproles Dimarco on deep wheel routes....comical.....
Sproles DiMarco... hilarious.

I dont understand why we didnt have any motion or jet sweeps against Schwartz' D. Going into the game they talked about it and how vulnerable they are to it. Then McKenzie is inactive and I dont recall seeing that motion all game. Puzzling... I think the weather spooked Dabol and he started panicking.
And come on, you run the stupid wheel route to DiMarco again??? That will work once a season. No need to keep doing it.
They did run jet sweep motion and some other pre snap stuff but the Eagles weren't buying it. It's just window dressing anyways. It's what happens after the snap that sucks.

Are you saying Allen isnt smart enough to run this offense because the Pats have been dominating with this offense for almost 2 decades
Uh... what? Daboll is somehow getting credit for the GOAT's production? Funny, McDaniels tried that to and crashed and burned.
2012 Chiefs: 32nd ranked offense.
2011 Dolphins: 20th ranked offense.
2010 Browns: 31st ranked offense.
2009 Browns: 29th ranked offense.
Daboll is a fraud. His only successful stint as an OC was with Bama and that had a lot more to do with Bama being Bama.
Jordan Phillips earns start; Oliver only plays 18 def snaps vs Redskins

Oliver is playing hero ball from the DT position. He is focused on making big plays, splash plays. He's a young guy who is going to have to focus more on his technique and assignments than he did in college.
