chris heff Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 In Sully's column today, both Woods and Watkins state that throwing down field to WRs was not in the game plan. First round pick, traded up for and second round pick, let's not use them. Aren't these guys the two best play makers on the offense? Some will now make this about Orton and Manuel, but how is it that both these guys have the same issues? This is a timid offense without an identity.
section122 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 As a heads up this is being discussed in the all 22 thread but here are my thoughts on it... Without intonation it is impossible to know how these were said to Sully. Sort of like text messaging and having no idea how the comment was meant. The game plan didn't call for it though as a statement - with as many people lamenting that there should have been more run plays called wouldn't that fall in line with wrs not being targeted? It seemed that short pass plays designed to churn yards and running plays to keep the clock moving was the game plan in the first half. Freddy got an awful lot of looks in the first half. So which is it? Are we mad that the game plan should have been more focused on getting the wrs the ball early or are we mad that they didn't run enough early? It can't be both.
Max997 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Bills seemed to be really concerned with Broncos pass rush so not completely surprised deep balls were not in the game plan but I am surprised how little this team uses crossing patterns. This offense doesnt have an identity and just seems to include a different set of plays every week.
PO'14 Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Marrone seemed upset with Woods in the Presser
The Big Cat Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 Well if Sully said it, then the coaches must be the !@#$ing morons we all know them to be.
Canadian Bills Fan Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 That screams bad coaching to me. I used to think that Marrone would be back next year but I am starting to think these next 3 games might be his last. CBF
ricojes Posted December 11, 2014 Posted December 11, 2014 I don't think this is anything new, that's why EJ said next chance he get's he's going to sling it all over the field. This was blurb i found from January... Bills coach Doug Marrone recently said the Bills plan to expand Buffalo’s passing attack in 2014. Only eight teams attempted fewer passes than the Bills last year, but no team had more rushing attempts. The results were pretty poor — the team only reached the 30-point mark in two of their 16 regular season games in 2013 and were held at 24 or under the rest of the time. “We would like to be able to take more shots, throw it more on first down and become more productive from the standpoint of scoring,” said Marrone. It would be nice if the Bills were "more productive from the standpoint of scoring"....
