The Big Cat

Can we please stop talking about this scenario as if there was a chance it could have happened? Jackson wanted Schwartz as DC. Reports were that for Schwartz it was HC or bust.

I'm sorry. Do you mean to use these stats to suggest that three and outs have not been a problem for this team?

Over the past 18 games, no team has had a higher percentage of three and outs. Yeah. I understand why you'd have 90 plays. I don't understand why you'd have 90 plays when there doesn't seem to be an emphasis on sustaining a high volume of snaps.

Not a more infuriating OC since the last one, huh?

Bills nation talking about Anthony Lynn be all:

You're the best.

Right on the money here, especially with that last bit! It's like trying to get Steph Curry open for three by pounding it inside and getting the opposing center in foul trouble. Or by trying to get contested buckets driving the lane in traffic. Okay. Sure. I can see where that would work. But, why don't we just have him pull up and splash from 28 feet? If the Bills were the Warriors in this scenario, their center keeps getting called for travelling before he gets his shoulder into the opposition and they're bricking four out of five contested layups while Steph is sitting on the perimeter collecting dust. Seems to me that this take (which I choose to believe too) assumes that Roman never even gave defenses an opportunity to get beat by our good stuff, and rather than the trickery be the knockout blows, our bread and butter was waiting to be set up. Except it never was.

You've talked yourself into a circle and lost track of your point.

There is virtually no comparison in playmakers now vs. 2010-12. Donald Jones seems like a nice guy on the radio, and I hope he gets better and stays on with the GR crew for a long long time. But Jesus H Christ was he a horrible receiver. Folks. Naaman Roosevelt. These are the guys the offense relied on during those years. Those years are over. You think Antonio Brown has to be in the right scheme to make it work? Hell no he doesn't, he just needs the ball in his hands. Bills fans are eager to see if that's what Lynn has in store, let's hope he does!!

Sure, but we're not comparing Tyrod to Rodgers. We're comparing him to Fitz. Fitz does some things better, Tyrod does other things better. Fitz is marginally better than Tyrod. And four years ago when he was the QB in Buffalo, it might have even been a stretch to say he was better at all. Fitz had the best game of his career on TNF. If he goes for 370+ yards, no picks and better than 70% comp at ANY point for the rest of his career, I'll be stunned.

WTF is the point in installing 90 plays when your offense can't achieve more than 50 snaps a game?

With the exception of Tyrod v Fitz, the offense now is insanely more talented. Stevie v Sammy Jones v Woods Nelson v Goodwin Chandler v Clay Spiller v Shady There is so much more athleticism and skill at these positions than when Chan was here. These guys don't need to be "schemed" into success. They need to be given a chance to go out and win their match ups.

Totally plausible rumor. The people slamming it in this thread are the same people slamming everything in every thread. Go figure.

Aint that the truth. Up and down the Internet, in the papers and on the radio, it's been a blood orgy most fierce for the NNN's these past 10 days.

Boy, you didn't take long to build a reputation.

Reading between the lines, it sure sounds like Roman outsmarted himself by setting up dummy plays that were meant to payoff later. But it also seems as though nobody was fooled. Not in the setup NOR in the counter. Or the QB just sucks. I'll guess we'll find out!

Haven't the Pats* routinely beat opponents only running like 10 plays a game?

Up is down, left is right. Tyrod was easy to shut down because the offense was too complex now. Oh !@#$ing hell.

Decent idea. Horrible thread title.

You have pointed to zero analyses of all-22's which suggest scheme/lack of adjustments were to blame. It's all that was requested. But you can't produce one because they don't exist. Call me dumb all you want, at least I don't try to fool others by being dishonest with myself.

No, I'm asking for analyses that refute mine. Stop framing it in another way because you know it doesn't exist. Ha. Or at the very least our methods for failure would be way more dramatic!

It was pretty simple: http://forums.twobillsdrive.com/topic/188556-buffalo-bills-fire-offensive-coordinator-greg-roman/page-43?do=findComment&comment=4055279

No. I know what I don't know. And if people who know more than me present me with information, my understanding of things is subject to formation.

TL;DR It wasn't a link to any kind of analysis, which was requested, so I'm not going to bother.
