I’ll start this off with, we are light years ahead of the drought years, and we are all happy as hell about that, but now it’s about fine tuning/ making effective adjustments throughout the season. Dorsey’s offense became very predictable, and had next to zero flow from play to play, this was pointed out by former NFL QBs, sure we squeaked by a lot of opponents in the regular season, but come post season, going against the best teams Dorsey in effect did nothing to mix things up to put the opponents on their back foot, he did not put his players in a position to be successful, and we got soundly trounced by the Bengals. The same can be said about our defense, no adjustments to keep Opponents offenses guessing, it’s year three of post season failings on Frazier/ McDermott, and the buck stops at McDermotts desk…, coaches are responsible for play design/scheme, and bringing in players that aren’t performing to expectations, then continuing to roll it back season after season. GO BILLS!!!

Being that even the lowest paid players are in the top 3 percent annual income bracket in America, I have no pity concerning their financial compensation, any player that won’t do what it takes to make that work long term for themselves is what is referred to as an…, well, not being particularly clever…,

What’s his phone number ? I’d be happy to break the news to him, maybe a text, that’s how relationships break up nowadays…

The Myth of the Bills over-focusing on defense in the Draft and FA

Very well put Shaw, wonderfully diplomatic if I do say so myself, 👍 -
Don't like drafting for need just for need sake.
Don Otreply replied to gjv's topic in The Stadium Wall
Draft evaluation by the scouts is as suspect as as any other part of the draft process, it’s where the errors start, or is it the GMs ignoring good advice, we never know as we are on the outside looking in, the draft is a crap shoot on a good day, Don’t fool yourself, all draft choices are need driven, it’s always been that way, and it’s never going to change.

Chad Johnson says he lived in Bengals' stadium for two years

GFs on the fifty yard line center of the field…, just sayin, -
Webb is like to expand on the deep knee bends and lifts that RW thought to be so important…, on the other hand, if Webb can resurrect RW he will become a hot commodity for OC the following season…, 😁👍

Stop believing everything you read here or that is put out by the talking heads, here, primarily what you read is stuff people read and then posted here, it’s the talking heads stuff. Look at the team with a calm mind and assess what you see, and what the GM & HC/ coordinators are known to do. There’s your answer, Then keep your fingers crossed 🤞 that those entities will do the right thing , then get yourself a very dry Martini 🍸 and a 🚬 and enjoy the little things that bring you happiness, GO BILLS!!!

I agree that the biggest issues were & are play design and scheming, on both Defense and Offense, injuries never help, but that’s why play design & scheming is so important, adjustments need to be effective and happen in a timely fashion, both of which need to be attended to in a useful way by our HC & coordinators. GO BILLS!!!

I heard/read about throwing angles and Joshes elbow a while back, it certainly can have an effect, but I am also certain that throw angles can be modified for short throws to make the throws regularly doable, it’s a matter of “proper play designs” that allow for “adjustments” to be successful…, Go Bills!!!

Lamar Jackson wants guarantees that exceed Watson contract
Don Otreply replied to SCBills's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yup, and the thing is no other team is going to give him what he is demanding, he is doing the “ who’s going to blink first” thing, imo, he is as good as gone from Baltimore, I suspect they are fine with that and already have plans set in place for his eventual departure. -

What kind of play do you get the most satisfaction watching?
Don Otreply replied to Beast's topic in The Stadium Wall
I like a ten to fifteen yard pass that is run an additional thirty or so yards for a TD, lots going on to enjoy with that sort of play, I do as well like when a run breaks for big yards / TDs, ( you listening Ken…) 😁 GO BILLS!!! -
It’s not the draft execution so much as it’s the draft strategy
Don Otreply replied to BarleyNY's topic in The Stadium Wall
We Sure did have a good season overall, but we sure did struggle to beat some mediocre teams, and equal teams as the season progressed through to the post season . These issues primarily stem from play design/schemes, or poor execution, both of which fall to the GM, HC, and coordinators to remedy, via play/scheme adjustments, or personnel use adjustments, and some good old fashioned, do your job or you sit conversations, which can be done with polite language, and still get the point across. Back to the first sentence, we had a good regular season for three straight seasons, it’s been the post season readiness by either the coaches, or the players, and we have a coaching staff that apparently does not go in for meaningful/effective in game adjustments, we have watched this happen repeatedly, and no I don’t want to fire everyone, I just want to see some growth from our veteran and new coordinators that show a willingness to make those effective adjustments during games, especially in the post season, Frazier is a big road block to this sort of thought process by his own admission, so where and how do we go from here???

Von Miller's injury, and pass rush needs this offseason
Don Otreply replied to Yantha's topic in The Stadium Wall
You did that on purpose, heads will explode nonstop for days if they go D in the first round, it will be fun to read the reactions if/when it happens, right now McDermott and Beane are deciding which edge they are gonna take, 😂 -
The thing is they have plenty of talent on the D, we just lack scheme flexibility when needed to counter good HCs & OCs, it’s odd that they don’t appear to accept this as a flaw that they need to address, especially after three consecutive post seasons that have shown this to be so, oh well…, GO BILLS!!!

JFC, (and I’m not talkin fried chicken) only a hundred and seventeen pages? Y’all’s falling down on the job here people, when I come back to this thread in a couple days I would like to see some actual participation…,

Calm down, Lee was just towing the company line, as would be expected, what is lost here is the nuances of what went wrong in the last three post seasons, that is what is being discussed, ranted about, and otherwise explored by former QBs, talking heads, and fans, some of all of the above are pretty damn smart when it comes to analysis of the post season failings of our team, so everyone needs to get off their respective high horses and make some attempt at being a bit objective about what didn’t go well, and openly talk about it, nuthin but luv, GO BILLS!!!

Don Otreply replied to BarleyNY's topic in The Stadium Wall
That gets bumped out of the playoffs for the last three seasons, the team has a lot going for it to say the least, but there are short comings on both sides of the ball, and the buck stops on the GMs HCs & coordinators desks, it is they who are not adapting or the players are not doing what they want done, either way, it’s on them to make appropriate changes in play design or personnel to achieve the goal.

Don Otreply replied to BarleyNY's topic in The Stadium Wall
Yup, don’t disagree so much, although the offense was imo, not supported properly personnel wise, (yes I know they hired a bunch of O side coaches to supposedly assist with this). I am referring to a rookie OC that lacked experience in personnel use, play design, and sequencing the play calling, ( which was brought up by former successful QBs who saw it this way) this played a part in why we struggled to beat lesser and equal teams, it was the previously mentioned O side coaches who imo should have been more proactive in helping out Dorsey when the offense started to struggle during the second half of the season, assisting the rookie OC was in theory why they were hired, what ever was going on wasn’t working so well as the season progressed. Water under the bridge at this point…, fingers crossed going forward, GO BILLS!!! -
That right there is pretty much spot on, hind sight is generally miss used, there is likely more to his seasons performance than meets the eye, imo, play design/ scheming had a fair bit to do with it, but that could just be me, GO BILLS!!!
-
No, it would appear that they over estimated his capacity to become a #2 WR, the catch percentage this past season, and for that matter, his career with Buffalo isn’t what one would call awesome, We all love the guy when he is doing his toe drag swag, etc, but it can not be argued that he did not lay an egg this past season, play design by our OC isn’t particularly helpful in this regard either…, GO BILLS!!!
