No.....but they basically should be. If Allen seen man coverage and the defenders backs are to him, he should have the run option built in every time.

This is they style of offense that gives teams fits. I am not saying you need to run Allen every series, but every couple of series would be nice. It will open things up so much if teams are forced to respect it.

Two Allen runs, two great plays. It should have been 3 with a tush push......

Not to keep dwelling on it, but that playcalling from the one should never happen. It should be an automatic run to the line tush push. No need to call a play. It should be automatic every goal to go from the one and in.....same could be said for first downs. Dorsey cost us points yet again.

SHOTGUN TWICE!!!! YOU IDIOT!!!!!!!!!!!!

I really thought they had learned their lesson last week...... You have 2 chances to get a yard and instead of doing the tush push twice if necessary, they hand the ball off deep again. I can't with this.....STUPIDITY!!!

THEY DID THE FREAKING SHOTGUN WITH A YARD TO GO!!!! MORONS!!!!

A TD drive here would go a lot way towards taking the rest of the fight out of Tampa. I think they get disinterested real quick if we can jump on them early. Need that same energy this drive except it needs to finish with 6 on the board.

I am normally a "go for it" guy in that situation most of the time. But based on what has happened to us the last few weeks, I like the points there. It was a very solid drive and points there were great for confidence. Hopefully Dorsey sticks with the pace. Only thing I would have liked to have seen on that drive was a Kincaid catch. Hopefully on the next one.

Great drive..... Now keep it up and put it in the endzone next time. But they was a lot of what we have been asking for. Need a full game of it.

This is great.... Let's see how long it lasts.....

I think that might have been a fumble.....

Stay healthy. WIN. Go Bills!

We just need some shots of Hailee in the box tonight. Sees to work for Taylor and the Chiefs. So yeah....get Ms. Steinfeld some air time tonight!!!

The poster is a proven fraud. No truth to this. That said, it would be smart to talk to the Titans about any player you may have interest in. They are sellers for sure. Hopkins has shown he still has something left in the tank and you can make the money work with them eating most of his contract. He would be an immediate upgrade to Davis.

The tailgate might be a little tricky, but I'm sure we could handle it. But the bigger question is...... Where's the roof?

As I mentioned in a previous thread, while I don't want to go back to a full blown hurry up offense, playing with more tempo could help this offense. Get to the line, identify the personnel on the field, and have more time to identify what the defense is trying to do. It also keeps the guys on offense more focused and on their toes. Sometimes, if you are taking too much time in between plays, you can start dragging a bit....get into some lulls. Just playing with some sense of urgency might help keep guys focused and into a rhythm. Who knows.....maybe it won't work, but it can't get worse than the last few weeks without scoring in the first half. I wanted them to go to a more of an up tempo offense in the 2nd halves the last few weeks to try and jump start things, but they haven't. It's worth trying.

Henry is a good player. Is he a player we need that will turn this offense around? No. But, if for some reason we were to bring him in, he would have a spot and could help us. We do see our share of lighter boxes because teams worry about defending the pass. While Cook is a good back, he is not going to punish guys up the middle. Not to mention, his pass protection has been atrocious. Henry, just by being on the field as an option, discourages teams from taking that extra defender out of the box which could open some things up in the intermediate areas. I just wish Henry was a better pass catcher, though. But the cap hit would be minimal and we can never have enough good players. Maybe try to get Henry and D-Hop in a package deal.

Except the numbers say the read should be on the right side. There are more defenders covering the receivers to the top of the screen than there is to the bottom. That is a pre-snap read and he needs to get to Knox as his first or second read on this play.

We'll lose a little bit in the blocking department for sure, but I think there is a good chance the the combination for Kincaid at TE1 and Morris at TE2 might be an upgrade in the passing game. Guess we know why they were working out TEs last week. Just wish our RT wasn't such a disaster and didn't need constant help on every passing play. He's such a weak link on the line and it hinders the offense when you constantly have to have guys stay in or chip block all the time just so he doesn't get Allen killed.

I have no idea if he has anything left at this point, but he should have been called in for a workout already. This team needs a one-tech badly. Jones was a dominant force up front for us and allowed other guys to do their things. This is a different defense when he isn't there and it is not for the better. We need someone in that spot because Jordan Phillips and Tim Settle are not going to cut it there.

Make no mistake about it......Josh is definitely part of the problem. But so are the coaches, so is the offensive line, and so are the WRs and TEs. Allen misses reads and misses throws. You can see it when you watch the All-22. But you know what? Every QB in the league and in every game does the same thing. What separates the average ones from the great ones like Allen are the plays that he makes that other can't that make up for some of those other missed opportunities. And when you are under pressure nearly 50% of dropbacks, even the ones you aren't pressured on can feel like it's only a matter of time. And that's on the line and scheme. Go back to the run earlier in the season against the Raiders, Washington, and Dolphins. In those games he was barely touched and hardly hurried. And what happened in those games? They put up a ton of points. Now, take a look at the last 3. The pressure percentage in each of those games skyrocketed and he's been running for his life a lot of those games. Part of this is on the guys up front getting beat and part of it is on coaching. Finally, as we all know, a lot of this falls on coaching. Coaches are responsible for putting players in the best possible positions to succeed. Right now, on offense particularly, they are not doing that. Perfect example is last week on 2nd and goal needing a foot. Instead of doing the tush push which is basically unstoppable, they decided it would be better to go shotgun and give the RB the ball 6 YARDS away from the goal line instead of sneaking it for a foot, which the had 3 CHANCES TO FINISH! That is dumb and not putting your players in the best positions to succeed. Yesterday, though, after being called out on it relentlessly all week, they went to the tush push in every scenario that called for it and it worked every time they needed to use it. So, hopefully they learned their lesson there. But too many other times, they continue to not put their players in a position to get the best out of them. They tell Allen not to run. They don't call designed runs for him anymore. What has made Allen the player he is today? It's the fact that he's a unicorn because he can beat you on any play for 40 yards by throwing or running! Now they are cutting him off at the knees and telling him he can only throw. So, what happens? Defenses now know they don't have to fear him taking off and killing them with his legs and they can treat him like a 1 dimensional player. That is not putting your players in the best positions to succeed. The stats and the eye test both show that this offense can still be explosive when running play action from under center. Heck, the stats show we run the ball better from under center. Yet, what happens? We're still in shotgun 70% of the time! Again. this is not putting your players in the best positions to succeed. And don't get me started with how they have, or haven't been, using Kincaid up until yesterday. There is virtually no motion or eye candy in this offense to draw the defenses attention. No creativity at all. Everything is static and run out of the same formations over and over again. This is not putting your players in the best position to succeed. So, is Josh to blame? Of course he is at times. He's not perfect. But he's also not been given the opportunities to be in the best position to succeed either. There is a lot going wrong on offense right now, and it starts with the coaches and their decision to purposely make him one dimensional and take away half of what makes him almost an unstoppable player.

I bet you see a lot of money come in on the Bucs at that number. I wouldn't touch that spread at all. I might want to hammer the under whatever that is, though.

There were not a lot of bright spots in the game yesterday, but Kincaid was certainly one of them. We've all been waiting for the game where he breaks out and finally becomes the weapon we know he can be. His game against the Pats* was fantastic on first watch, but was even better when looking at the All-22 film. And you know what? As good as he was yesterday, he was so close to being even more dominant if Allen would have seen him earlier on a couple of routes. I have been asking to see him featured more in this offense because I know what he is capable of watching his college film. But, up until this game, for whatever reason, his route tree has bee kind of limited and they haven't been letting him do the things that can make him a true weapon in this offense. Everything he was running until yesterday seemed to be outside the numbers as more of an outlet than anything else. Sure, you would see the occasional stick route in the middle of the field, but nothing on the move. Yesterday, while he still had those routes, we finally got to see a little more. While he isn't running right up the seams and taking the top off defenses yet, hopefully this is a sign that may be coming at some point because he really can stretch the field vertically. But in this game, we did see some variety. He worked some over routes, stick routes, and some Texas routes and he made himself not only a viable outlet for Allen, but a true #2 weapon for Allen for the first time this season. You could make the argument that he was maybe our best weapon on offense yesterday and there is certainly a lot to build on. And, as I said above, as good of a game as he had yesterday, it was so close to being even better if Allen would have found him in the structure of the plays a couple more times. He is the best TE on this team and, going forward, I hope the coaching staff finally realizes what they have in him because he is the one player on offense that could legitimately develop into that consistent second weapon we need on offense. Outside of Diggs, I truly believe he is our second best overall route runner and may have the best hands on the team. And, on top of that, over half of his yardage yesterday came after the catch which hardly anyone on this team has the ability to do. There is so much untapped potential here and here's hoping yesterday opened the coaching staff's eyes and makes them realize he needs to be featured even more in this offense. Him continuing to get the ball at a higher rate will eventually help this offense become more efficient. The guys at Cover 1 do a great job with these featured breakdowns, so be sure to check out the film. It is a really good watch and will leave you wanting more focus on Kincaid going forward.

The Bills are in prime time for the next several weeks. If we keep getting embarrassed on a national stage, something has to be done in the organization.
