MarlinTheMagician Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 He ain't throwing his coach under the bus. Called a great game - until he didn't. Then he turtled and almost blew it. He is horrible. Denver fans still hate him.
Kelly the Dog Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 He did a couple things in the first half that were either obvious or they worked before and he had abandoned them, and then he abandoned them in the second half. He's awful. 1
MarlinTheMagician Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 I am rarely negative, but he is just awful. 1
Buffalo Barbarian Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 That play calling when we end up kicking the FG and when we where pinned in deep was horrendous, but overall offense looked good.
MarlinTheMagician Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 Feel bad for Shady every time we get a lead. If you are going to hand off for a four yard loss, at least use Cadet. Offense did look good, clicking today, that is why the turtling was so inexplicable, so bad, and so demoralizing for team and fans.
Happy Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 Both Dennison and McD are afraid to finish games off. For some reason, they're afraid of building too big of a lead. 1 1

Players deserved to feel better about today than Dennison allowed. He has GOT TO GO! Pathetic play calling, if I was Shady I would go on strike over some of those calls. This need not have been close, but we went into the Denishell. He gets a lead and turtles. Yes may feel better when you sober up. Edited December 17, 2017 by MDFan

RobH063 Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 I'm not disagreeing with you. I don't like his play calling either but if he calls plays not to lose when the Bills have a sizable lead and McD just lets it happen it's on him too. They both wear headsets. McD can speak up and tell Dennison to be aggressive rather than conservative. 2
Best Player Available Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 He will never lead this offense in a deep playoff run. McD needs to make a decision in the offseason. He is boring if he gets a 14+ point lead.
MarlinTheMagician Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 One has to be drunk to not see that Dennison was putrid today in the 2nd half and tried desperately to give the game away. Thankfully Cutler out-sucked Dennison. McDermott builds the culture, oversees D too. Needs a real OC to help him out. 1
dave mcbride Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 The play calling in the second half was beyond terrible. I felt bad for shady - so many no-chance plays for him. Dennison has to go.

TuelTime Posted December 17, 2017 Posted December 17, 2017 I agree. The only reason they were having mild success running the ball was because Taylor was having success throwing the ball. Once it became obvious the Bills were going to run, run, run, it played right into the hands of the defense. With a QB like Taylor who never turns the ball over, it doesn't make sense to take your foot off the gas with only an 18 point lead.
Lfod Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 (edited) I think that teams know we lean heavy on the run game because of a deficiency in the passing game. Our team knows this as well. The problem is that even if everyone in the world knew his next move would be a shady run he would still call it. At least that's the way it looks to me. Anyway his job is OC and the offensive side of the ball stalls out to much and that's on him at the end of the day. I'm not fully on board with firing him because there is a lot I don't know. How much is it because of execution. How much is it him being forced to be one dimensional because a weak passing attack. It's been a strange year indeed. From a hot start to a tire fire to still in the hunt. The offense has been a hot mess for the most part this year and he inherited it or is the cause of it. I'm not fully sure what the answer is.

Kirby Jackson Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 He’s really bad. I’m not a fan of anyone that plays not to lose. He did that today and it almost backfired. Play to win and let the chips fall where they may. That drive when he ran dive, dive, 3 yard drag was atrocious. That was one of like 4 terrible decisions in the 2nd half. Go down swinging if you are going to go down

Zay dropping the ball and Tyrod missing an open Clay hurt them much more than playcalling. I do not think they played not to lose today. I thought it was more aggressive in the 2nd half than they have been in other games with the lead. Today was again.... execution, execution, execution. They kept raking shots down the field... the guys didn't make plays.

They kept raking shots down the field... the guys didn't make plays. We disagree here. The second half, especially the drive where they started deep, was ultra-conservative. It was the same way in defense. They had them at 2nd and 35 (or something like that) and they brought no pressure twice and allowed them to convert. I don’t ever agree with trying to hang on. Go for the throat
GunnerBill Posted December 18, 2017 Posted December 18, 2017 They did not try to hang on. 13 runs called and 14 passes called 2nd half. The problem was not a lack of aggression in play calling. It was a lack of execution in the passing game. Was every play call the perfect call? No.... and no OC ever calls the perfect game. But this was not a go into their shell conservative hang on game plan like we saw against Denver and Kansas City to name 2 that really stick out and I think the memory of those kinds of games is clouding the perception of today. If anything I thought they were too aggressive going for the 4th down in the 3rd Qrtr. They should have kicked the FG there. 1
