    Well said. I might pivot slightly and say it is QB friendly. Protection wise, especially the O-Line, you have to give Kromer credit that the interior O-line has improved significantly in guys like Jones/Simmons/Quinnen Williams of the world being less effective against Josh this season and we were not always double-team them. 

     

    That said, I think there is more to be done scheme wise and Josh's decision making. I'm not much an Xs and Os guy. Just from the high level, looks like we are either start the ball behind the LOS (run, screen, outside boundary) or throw it 10+ yards. It could also be because the Chiefs D had so many guys between those 10 yards (they were certainly very active, rotating and disguising). One thing I'd say is the Chiefs played zone run defense very very well. Cook really has no place to cut back like he has almost every other game. They probably could try more gap runs, just take 3 yards per attempt.

     

    The big plays by Cooper are man beaters and that's what the Chiefs relied upon. When Keon and Kincaid are back, we may have more options in that department.  

     

    This is why I would've started with Ty Johnson (or pivoted to him early).  Cook was never going to get going against that defensive strategy, but pounding a bigger back in for a few yards would've started tiring out the defense and sucking in the linebackers which could've opened things up over the middle.  Whatever they found a way.

    Could be something to that. His runs weren't really going anywhere on 1st down when he was in the game but maybe if we had stuck with it there would have been more efficiency as the game went along. We even tried getting a few passes to RBs on 1st downs but the Chiefs were sniffing those out right away too. I don't know. I can't sit here and say Brady was too run happy or too pass happy or was too aggressive or was too conservative or didn't use enough play action. Everything we tried on 1st down just wasn't working except for four big plays. Feels like that down has been a problem for us all year.


    See I come at this differently.  I know it’s normally the reverse but Sunday was a game where I would’ve started with Ray Davis or Ty Johnson to batter down and tire out the front seven a bit and then I would’ve switched up to Cook.  Again the tendency is usually the opposite, get the defense tired from chasing and then hit them with the power back - but with the Chiefs I’d have done it in reverse.

    yeah they converted something like eight third and 8 or more plays.   It was absurd.  It was NOT how you draw it up.   And all of the analysis about how dominant the Bills were or how good the coaching was misses the point entirely.   Allen willed them to victory.   If he doesn't get that first down/TD at the end they lose and we know it.   That chaotic football is entertaining but the guy has taken a beating this season they need to get the passing game in order down the stretch. 

     

    I would assume the coaches themselves would agree that it was not a sustainable way to play on offense - they were NOT on schedule at all, and in particular the first down play calling was atrocious.

    Indy/KC

    An ugly 1 TD 3 INT line with just 7 ypa.....so they subsequently needed an excessive 77 pass attempts the last two weeks(inflating bulk stats to 271 per game) and also an unsustainable 10 rushing attempts per game for Josh Allen.   And that was with absolutely perfect passing conditions.   In a dome one week and a rare zero-wind impact home game.   

     

    TN/Sea

    4 TD 1 INT 9 ypa and 30 more pass yards per game and subsequently just 5 rushes per game for Allen in the two weeks with both Cooper and Coleman together.   And the TN game was very wind impacted.   The passing game was much more efficient.   As it also was to a lesser extent in the Miami game with at least Coleman fully healthy.   Not having those guys healthy has turned them back into the kind of offense they were down the stretch last year,  which was predicated on JA being used as a battering ram in the run game.    

     

     

     

    And (last weekend) being reliant on explosives/third and long completions, a la the Dorsey Era.

    Yup.  Never said he "stinks."  He looked out of shape in August and played like it the first two months of the year.

    Bills are going to run the table.

     

    there is no way they are losing to Detroit. Once McD schemes up against the lions, the entire league will have the blueprint on the Lions too. I would be dreading that game if I were the Lions.

     

    You are seriously underrating the Lions.

    Head Coaching Vacancies - 2024/2025 Edition

    Pierce is gone for sure.  This is the clown show staff he has assembled:

     

    Marvin Lewis

    Rob Ryan

    Norv Turner

    Joe Philbin

    Carnell "Cadillac" Williams

     

     

    It looks like a UFL launch announcement of their HC's.

     

     

    The Raiders are not at all competitive.  They are not prepared, their schemes suck, they have little fight.  Davis is in a tough spot because he keeps firing coaches but Pierce is not the answer.

    Crazy that it’s mid-November and already there are a ton of teams completely folding up the tent.  There could be double-digit head coaching vacancies this offseason which will, in turn, affect more stable teams as coaches get interviewed during the playoffs, some coordinators end up getting poached, and new regimes want new players to match their program.  
     

    Trying to tally up the likely openings as of today:

     

    Done Deals

    NY Jets

    New Orleans Saints

     

    All But Over

    Jacksonville Jaguars

    Chicago Bears

    Dallas Cowboys

     

    Very Possibly Over

    Las Vegas Raiders 

    Carolina Panthers

    Indianapolis Colts

    New York Giants


    Possible Surprises
    Cincinnati Bengals

    Cleveland Browns

    Philadelphia Eagles


    That is 5 near-certainties, assume 2 out of 4 from the next category and one surprise as there almost always is and you’ve got anywhere from 8-10 openings potentially in play this offseason.  Will make for a lot of turnover in the coaching world and a lot of free agents as players get jettisoned by incoming regimes.  Will be fascinating.

    Yeah players have to make plays 

     

    I'm pretty sure Jimmy Johnson said it's not the X's and O's it's the jimmies and the Joe's 

     

    And he's one of the best 

     

    You need players to make plays at the end of the game... But they need to be coached well enough to not panic and be prepared enough to get themselves into the right spot 

     

    We've seen 20 years of bills in aptitude to where they do not make the right little adjustments at the end of the game 

     

    Sure the play call was absolutely a man beater.. it was a mesh concept 

     

    But the Bills coaches are not dumb enough to just have a one play outcome.. they obviously have little intricacies if it does happen to be zone... The line shift is one of those things

    Yes Andy Reid was holding back on every single good play he has 

     

    And Sean McDermott gave him the kitchen sink every single thing in his arsenal 

     

    Andy Reid opened the game with misdirection reverse lol he did not hold all his cards to his vest..  our offense was more vanilla than theirs

    Listen is challenging has been one of the worst parts of his game 

     

    But he's also one of the best developers in the world 

     

    I will live with that


    Did the coaches also know Karlaftis would over-rush and break contain?  Did the coaches intentionally call a ton of one-yard gains on first down yesterday?

     

    Some of these takes today are so over the top.  The game was super close, a couple of plays away from an entirely different outcome.  Both sets of coaches traded strategic body-blows all day.  No one took anyone else to school.  Allen made an insane individual play when it mattered most.  Can’t that be enough?  There is no deeper meaning here.

    Is the "new" Curtis Samuel here to stay?

    It boggles my mind that people have been questioning why he’s been ineffective.
     

    The Bills said he had turf toe. They didn’t let him rest it very long. He showed explosiveness in camp, he didn’t after he had turf toe, now after weeks of lighter usage and sitting out he all of the sudden has his explosiveness back. Hmm I wonder why. 


    I think it’s a totally fair question given how much trouble they’ve had integrating other free agent receivers over the years.  Maybe Samuel is an isolated event and it’s all injury-related or maybe there’s a bit of a disconnect between the Bills’ coaches and the personnel department that brought us Sherfield, Harty and Sanders.

    Gabe Davis out for season.

    Here is the Rotoworld blurb:

     

    Jaguars coach Doug Pederson said Gabe Davis (meniscus) is out for the season. 

     

    Davis ends his first year in Jacksonville with nine starts, 20 catches, and 239 yards with two scores. He played at least 69 percent of the snaps in every game he finished and never had more than five catches in any game, settling for a one-catch game on four separate occasions. For the privilege, Davis got a $10 million signing bonus. One of Trent Baalke’s greatest follies yet — and that’s saying something — Davis will almost undoubtedly be brought back on a $6.7 million cap figure next year since cutting him would cost the Jaguars $13.6 million in cap space. In his absence, look for Tim Jones and Devin Duvernay to get more run. No Jaguars are truly fantasy viable while Mac Jones is leading the charge.

    Not sure the stats back up this claim. Additionally, which team has the better defense, statistically. It appears to me that Josh got better stats against a better defense.

     

    I am talking specifically about the multiple times yesterday when Mahomes extended the play with his legs and then found someone down the sideline.  Not just the TD pass, there were several other "wow" passing plays from Mahomes - the same types of plays we see Allen make routinely (but not as much yesterday, because he didn't have to).  And Allen definitely missed on a few throws that he usually makes.

     

    Don't get me wrong - Allen was the better overall player yesterday.  But not the better passer IMO.
