Chaos

Are you suggesting the more aggressive step of gelding?

While you are being sarcastic, I am guessing some people in the Bears organization wish they had actually done this.

The Bills played great. Mr. Benard deserves the applause. I also think the entire Bills defense likely created the beginning of the end in the "Sam Howell is a franchise" QB narrative.

To : Beane, Dorsey All is well in Buffalo. Team is on a roll, and I expect them to be solid winners over the Dolphins on Sunday. Everything is relative however and the the offense is not yet perfect. Here is our collective polled wisdom on what your priority needs to be to perfect the offense. Please execute on this advice by the time we get back from London. Thank you. Inspired by this thread. Just added to collect the polling data. https://www.twobillsdrive.com/community/topic/249644-the-bills-biggest-problem-on-offense-remains-unchanged/

I should have a written “struggled with strong teams In important games”

Josh, Allen escapability skllls are probably the best in NFL history and what I saw the last couple of games could entirely be that. However, I am suggesting there is an element of design and what is happening and that Josh knows what direction Brown is going to let the defender beat him, if need be. And that a certain count in his head Allen is going to confidently roll right knowing the DE assigned to Brown is not going to be an issue.

One thing I noticed in the last two games is that seemed often when Brown was "beaten in Pass protection", It almost seemed as if Brown was getting beaten, he then let himself get beat inside on purpose, and Allen was already rolling right simultaneously with Brown being beaten. The Bills version of Jujitsu.

NASCAR does not have the equivalent of “home teams”. The significant majority of NFL viewing is people watching the home team. The NFL has not radically altered the home team viewing model.

The Bills are under real pressure in this game. Losing at home and falling two games back is a decent size hole to recover from. This game is going to tell us more about the Bills than the Dolphins. Are the 2023 Bills a team that can look prepared, execute well and win important games they are favored to win. Or are they like the recent Bills teams that can generate impressive statistics against poor teams, but struggle with good teams.

There are three separate complaints in the original post Brown's play Beane's "failure to do anything about it". Dorsey's scheme to deal with the problem Brown's play - Objectively his play is mediocre compared to NFL peers, not awful. Beane's failure to do anything about it. I think this is not a reasonable complaint. There are only so many options. And all options require speculation. For example, I was very high on Broderick Jones in the draft. He went 15th overall to the Steelers. So far he has played four snaps this season. Beane chose to improve the line in general, to alleviate some pressure on the Browns spot. The McGovern and Torrence picks did this. He brought in veteran RBs skilled at blocking. Dorsey's scheme to deal with the weakness at right tackle. - I am not sure what the alternative's are to the current scheme of using Kincaid, Knox, Murray and Harris to help. Almost every NFL team has weaknesses on the offensive line. What other schemes do teams use that are better than what Dorsey is doing? No statistical analysis is perfect. Those that understand how to use and interpret the statistics understand that basic point. It does not mean the statistics are not useful. But they are only useful to people that understand them. What problems do you see in the PFF analysis of the top four AFCs tackles I posted in the thread? That would be the main relevent point here.

All 32 teams use PFF Team Services. So do many NCAA programs. You may want to consider marketing your "Pine Barrens Mafia Eye Test" as a replacement. You could save the NFL a lot of money that way.

Follow the money. This has the top 3 in the right order. Chiefs. Bills. Dolphins. This is more or less in the right order.

I agree Spencer Brown is a problem. But I think the biggest problem on offense remains red zone play calling.

wow

There are limited number of variables in the last couple of minutes: ball location on defence or offense down clock is running, not running yards to first down time remaining timeouts remaining opponent timeouts remaining Example: Bills have the ball on their own 38 with 1:43 remaining in the first half, it is second and 9, the clock is running, they have 3 time outs remaining , the opponent has 2 time outs remaining. There is a correct descision to call a time out or not call a time out here. It can all be worked out ahead of time, not a heat of the moment decision. Seems like it would worthwhile to higher some MIT math genius to put together the algorithm to identify exactly when to call a time out, signal to spike the ball, or run the play on based on the relevent variables. Then let the math genius call the time outs. Rather than have someone with 50 other things on their mind decide by "their gut"

durant tried to hold him, not sure he succeeded

do not understand why teams put QBs in shotgun on first down at the 3 yard line.

Rams !!!!!!!

Hurts too too much risk there. Should have thrown it away.

he is active nice catch

He is in the hall of fame because everyone who knows what the NFL is knows who Joe Namath is. Probably the most "famous" guy the NFL every produced. Hall of Fame is exactly where he belongs. If they create a hall of TD:INT ratio leaders, they can leave him out of that.

It is situational to me. I don't think we should be in the shotgun on third and 1 ever for example.

So you think the defense reached its full potential?

While Edmunds may not have been a liabilty in general, I have no memories of him stepping up in a clutch situation. General Patton is credited with the quote "Lead, follow, or get out of the way". I think it is possible Edmunds was "in the way" of the defense reaching its potential. It may have been Leslie Frazier's play calling.
