Buffalo_Stampede

I don’t know. We ran a similar play for a TD vs Miami in the playoffs last year. Similar alignment from the Bills. Miami was a heavy cover 0 team but in that play they didn’t run cover 0. Gabe broke outside and Josh hit him for a TD. I don’t know if Gabe is supposed to adjust for cover 0. I mean this wasn’t even disguised. Everyone knew it was cover 0 pre snap. So you’d think Allen and Davis would have a signal pre snap so their on the same page. I feel like Davis would’ve accepted full responsibility if he was supposed to do something else. I think he ran it exactly how it’s coached. Allen ran it thinking Davis saw what he saw. A flat footed DB that he could run right by for a TD.

That’s just ridiculous.

The Bills run this all the time. Gabe/WR/TE always breaks outside vs inside leverage.

Better roster? I mean in every big loss we can point to our biggest players coming up short.

Slay was guessing Davis wouldn’t go deep and he guessed wrong. But his alignment told Davis break outside. Slay is not even lined up on Gabe at the snap. He’s inside on Diggs and 10 yards off. I can’t stand Gabe Davis but it was a miscommunication!!!!!!!! Its a problem that needs to be fixed in practice because it’s an ongoing problem.

McDermott and Beane built this team. McDermott is a powerful head coach.

With an owner like that you never know who’s calling the shots.

Completely different alignment. Johnson was on Juedy pre and post snap. Slay is lined up 5 yards inside and 10 yards off on Diggs pre snap. Slay is showing inside the whole time. And I just watched the Wilson throw. He throws it OUTSIDE!

Slay is definitely a read for the WR.

It’s a good week for those that wanted to fire McDermott for Sean Payton.

Is he a good coordinator though? The head coach was an offensive guy wherever he was OC.

Am I the only one that doesn’t think Reich is that good of an offensive coach?

QB is supposed to know the route concepts.

The WR is!!! The QB also should be. Slay could’ve easily been the deep middle coverage there. Slay plays it so bad though.

Slay is playing zone and clearly shows inside leverage. Slay is also lined up inside of Gabe Davis 10 yards off. Everything is telling Gabe to break outside. The question is post snap Slay is playing inside still but is caught flat footed. Is there another read based on Slay being flat footed? Davis wins that route no mater what he does but Slay is still showing inside leverage the whole time.

Gabe is obviously reading Slay here. Slay has inside leverage. Gabe should’ve just ran by him but he over thought it. Allen was using instinct. Gabe was over thinking. I think Gabe probably feels he made the right read but he didn’t have to do all that.

I think Gabe would’ve accepted blame if he made the wrong read.

Watched the play again. I think Allen is the one that made the wrong read.

The worst call favored the Bills and should’ve won us the game.

No we’re not.

They’ve been losing jump balls since day 1.

They talked about Gabe Davis miscommunications with Allen on WGR prior to the game. Unbelievable that it continues.

No, this was the clip. It’s embarrassing.

I use to think he was scared but now I just think he coaches stupid during critical situations. Crunch time he called cover 0. Which is a balls out yolo defensive call. Horrible call vs a running QB. Dolphins use to do it vs Josh Allen and would burn them every time. But a lot of times he had players in position to make a play and they didn’t.

I’ve heard Beane say McDermott started trusting the front office more and more. This was probably 2020. I think after 2020 Beane started getting more control and influence because he earned it. I honestly don’t know if they keep Beane after firing McDermott. As for poorly coached, I definitely don’t agree with that. Overall throughout McDermott’s tenure they are one of the best coached teams in the league. The problem seems to come in crunch time. But a lot of times the players are in position to make plays they just can’t make the play.
