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!!!

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. GO BILLS!!!

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!!!

Rather succinct of you OP, you hit the nail on the head. Beane & Mcdermott really need to stop with the Idea that the Offense will work being held together with duct tape and bailing wire, it’s past time to actually build a power house offense, hell, they might even win a championship if they do…, GO BILLS!!!

I hear what the OP is getting at, we do need some luck, but more so than that, we need a competent O-Line and a better #2 WR, as well as some real innovation with our OC’s & DC’s play designs…, now where’s that horse, and what did i do with my club…, GO BILLS!!!

Yup, that STs 1/3 of the game nonsense has wasted a lot of roster spots and related money over the years, STs is and always will be the red headed step child of NFL teams/players, its rare that anyone actually cares about STs,, its just coach talk/lip service.

What is with this unhealthy affection for special teams players???

In hind sight, I didn’t realize Dorsey and Josh were that buddy buddy, not a good thing in the Boss employee relationship, an OC needs to be able to kick his QB in the azs (figuratively) from time to time, and that certainly hasn’t happened since Dorsey took over, also agree on the lack of innovation in play development by our OC, GO BILLS!!!

Rex must be in need of another pick up truck with NFL team colors on it…,

I’m a fan of both Beane and McDermott, they rescued the franchise from certain hell, Go Bills!!!

It was meant to be humorous, 👍

This past seasons Catch percentage…,

I started a near identical thread about five days ago, O-line was number one in that thread as well. Now the real question is, will Beane and McDermott see the light? Me, imo, 60/40 against them giving more than eye wash to the O-line, and that being optimistic on my behalf, basing this on past performance by both of their pretty obvious preferences, GO BILS!!!

My gut feeling is he didn’t like how he was being used, how true this turns out to be will show with his next contract…,

This is Josh’s mild mannered way of kicking Beane, McDermott, and Dorsey in the nuts over there combined schematic failures, it could happen..

No, they are doing that in lieu of compensatory picks…,

Exactly,

Agree, Dorsey ended up making the offense very predictable with his play calling, and personnel usage, his schemes overall lacked creativity, and made winning games harder than it should have been as the regular season progressed, and made it extremely difficult to win in the post season, as we all witnessed, we all hope the proverbial light goes on for him. GO BILLS!!!

Ego,

Lee and many others are missing the point of the critiques of our coordinators, it’s not totally about the regular season , although there is some there, it’s the lack of capacity by our coordinators, both Frazier and Dorsey, but mostly Frazier, to adjust their schemes to fit the the game flow, or as is said, they don’t make in game adjustments, in a fashion that achieves anything that helps the team post season, again, post season, Frazier has openly admitted he is loath to make any changes in his game plan during games, to include the post season, when it’s all on the line, his defensive scheme, although functional in the regular season, has failed for three consecutive post seasons, in a notably fashion, that is why many fans are a bit miffed at the coaches. So Lee, get your head out of your backside, and comment on what we are talking about, that might be useful…, GO BILLS!!!

I don’t know man, he didn’t live up to my expectations, 😂

Why do you think I sailed my boat here 🇧🇸 😁👍
