John from Riverside Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 You can't throw deep against a strict cover 2. You need an offense that can play 9 on 7 in the box when they play the scheme Baltimore had. Short and intermediate stuff, slot receivers and TE's, play action etc. Then you might get single covered on the outside and get a chance to take your long ball shots. We will see cover 2 all year unless Roman starts preparing this team better. So....in other words you need a J. Williams to work between the tackles and force those safeties down.
Bob in STL Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 I have a feeling when week 16 13 gets here we will be looking to this game is the reason why we missed the playoffs again fixed. the formula today: 50% bad protection + 25% bad game plan + 25% rattled QB = no deep shots down the field. Not many experienced QBs could have found time to go deep today. Tyrod's problem was that he did not make plays, save the one pass to Clay, when he got out of the pocket and had his chances. Roman is not only responsible for the putrid game plan but the blocking schemes and protection are part of the OC's responsibility. Ok, the OL was poor and lets not forget the running back blitz pick up was as bad too.

We will see cover 2 all year unless Roman starts preparing this team better. Last year's excuse was that the QB threw the ball in 2 seconds. You can't sack a QB that fast. So this year it's gonna be they're playing a cover 2, no one can throw against that. When do we stop making excuses and just start palying football? Every team in the league throws deep, every game. Every team attempts to be a professional football team. The Bills, on the other hand, are professional excuse makers and take every opportunity to run for the bus. It's pathetic.
Kirby Jackson Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 On the players to execute, not the coach. The deep pass was there several times today. He chose to check down. Same thing as last year. Everyone wants to say going deep last year was a strength, his stats were boosted last year by the majority of his plays being short throws. He is a game manager nothing more. Sammy was open a few times and he didn't make the throw, very Trentitive.Which plays today were designed to go downfield? I don't remember one but maybe I missed it and they checked down. Which plays am I missing?
26CornerBlitz Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 Which plays today were designed to go downfield? I don't remember one but maybe I missed it and they checked down. Which plays am I missing? None!
Virgil Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 The Bills challenged the Ravens' secondary today exactly zero times. I need to know why! One deep pass on a broken play to Clay. That was it! On that play, the ball only traveled about 20 yards in the air. That was the longest pass of the game. Pathetic
NoSaint Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Which plays today were designed to go downfield? I don't remember one but maybe I missed it and they checked down. Which plays am I missing? We would have little idea on live tv. Once we get the overhead angle we will see more of the route combos.

NoSaint Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 There are often guys open but which plays were designed to go down the field? I don't remember a first look being down the field. What percentage of plays could you eyeball the depth of the first reads route live when not thrown to any given week? I'm not saying none, but it's tough on TV there may have been a few. But I'll agree to them needing to force some down field even in coverage.
CountDorkula Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Pretty disrespectful statement there.Disagree. They had a gameplan, and made it very successful. They made Tyrod make reads and challenged him to make tough throws which he did not do. They won.
RyanC883 Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 I would like to know how many times we ran 3 or 4-WR sets. Tough to go deep and get single coverage when you are just running 2-man routes. exactly. Roman's game plan turned out to be terrible, and then he made NO adjustments.
CountDorkula Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 exactly. Roman's game plan turned out to be terrible, and then he made NO adjustments. Do you have proof of this? Or is this just the new norm to try and shield the QB who played like hot garbage today.
26CornerBlitz Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 Do you have proof of this? Or is this just the new norm to try and shield the QB who played like hot garbage today. Looked to me as if both Roman and Tyrod should be held accountable.
CountDorkula Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Looked to me as if both Roman and Tyrod should be held accountable. Agree 100% Did Tyrod make an audible today?
26CornerBlitz Posted September 11, 2016 Author Posted September 11, 2016 Agree 100% Did Tyrod make an audible today? To my recollection he did not.
GG Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Looked to me as if both Roman and Tyrod should be held accountable. I thought that was obvious. Who knows, maybe Roman is trying to submarine Rex to get the top job
CountDorkula Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 To my recollection he did not. This concerns me quite a bit. I just watched Prescott in his first game take command of an offense. Even though they lost he looked promising. I watch Taylor run what is called regardless.
2020 Our Year For Sure Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 Roman was so, so bad. His game plan was disgusting. The fact that they didn't look to go over the top once is appalling. This game is on Greg Roman.I continue to think these players are capable of doing a lot more damage through the air than Roman is.
NoSaint Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 To my recollection he did not. I'm still very curious about Romans trust in tyrod. Not letting him run a true hurry up last year, questions about how much leeway he had at the line, etc...
GG Posted September 11, 2016 Posted September 11, 2016 I'm still very curious about Romans trust in tyrod. Not letting him run a true hurry up last year, questions about how much leeway he had at the line, etc... Odd question considering the contract he just inked. That was a truly gutless effort on playcalls & plays.
