    The Bills won; where does the Bills rank in your book in terms of contending for superbowl now?

    If they can get some Kincaid back and keep people healthy going forward, they have a chance at developing some rhythm. Most teams that are real contenders hit their stride late in the season and carry that through the playoffs. There's still a lot of football left before the playoffs and they absolutely have it in them to get hot and become real contenders. If KC misses and possibly Baltimore, the Bills will be the only AFC team with significant playoff experience and that goes a long way.

    Passing is better…so, why run?

    What a lot of Bills fans may or may not know is in the late 80s, early 90's the Bills ran more than they threw it. Even though it was called the K-gun offense. Then it developed into Kelly calling his own plays and the "hurry up" offense. even in that 1990 highest scoring offense in the NFL they still ran it more 425 to 479.

     

    Those receivers in 1990 were Reed, Lofton, Thurman Thomas, Keith McKeller, Don Smith, Don Beebe. Steve Tasker even had 2 targets for 2 receptions for 44 yards

     

    Pre-2000's can't really be compared because the rules were not as offense friendly. Defense won championships and run first, ball control offenses prevailed. 

     

    Post-2000 the league became more pass oriented as rule changes began favoring passing and scoring. 

     

    Cook has been phenomenal and should be a focal point of this offense. However, I don't believe that's why our offense is so run heavy focused. If the reason was Cook, he'd be getting the ball 20-25 times a games. I believe McDermott is trying to cover for his defense by having a run first, ball control offense. Even when we pass, it's quick hitting bubble screens, short passes that are an extension of the run game. McDermott does not want a quick strike offense that is constantly putting the defense back on the field because he knows they can't hold the best teams, ie: 13 seconds, etc...

    Coaches are heavily implying that Coleman isn’t trying on the field

    I think a vast majority of us are not happy with McDermott's efforts as a HC. 

     

    Disagree with this. I won't ever question his efforts. Effort does not guarantee  success.  Sean even changed his ways when the team came to him with their concerns. I give him credit for that. It's not an easy thing to hear people out and actually take it to heart and change your ways. 

     

    He's a great guy and I wish he was a great coach, but I'm not sure his formula works.

    Is it the receivers or Brady

    Brady had the luxury of having Burrow, Chase, and Jefferson in the only good offense he coached. When you have elite guys like that, it covers your flaws. Now that he doesn't have Elite WRs, his lack of ability to truly game plan and scheme is being revealed.
