Niagara Dude Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Our offense tonight looked modern, hope the pass first thinking continues because i liked what i saw. I know it is just the preseason but playing calling was a very pleasant change .
BuffaloButt Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Looks like a New England playcalling offense. 60 passes 10 runs! We moved the ball well with it in the first half!
Fadingpain Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Agree 100%. Play calling was refreshingly varied and effective. At times we threw to set up the run! And even called a screen!

I also think passing first makes McCoy even more dangerous because teams cannot load the box with 8-9 near the line . Edited August 10, 2018 by Niagara Dude 1
Formerly Allan in MD Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 We looked like an NFL team on offense for four quarters, for a change. Refreshing. 1

The entire field is in play at any time now with this kid under center -- it's definitely different than the "ground & pound" we've been stuck with and LONG overdue. 3

If you want to be a contender you need to pass the ball, it is a passing league. Edited August 10, 2018 by Niagara Dude
Rc2catch Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 I absolutely loved the playcalling and specifically the short passing game peterman showed. I’m still in shock they showed signs of running actual successful screens, they weren’t great tonight but it also wasn’t shady catching them. AJ and peterman both played well. But the offense looked so much better with peterman, I look forward to seeing if AJ can run it that well against the starting defense. But the looks of this offense (what they showed so far anyways) this seems to almost be made for peterman and his short passing game
DriveFor1Outta5 Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) After last season, I’d be happy with a not run on every first down offense. I think we might have that. Edited August 10, 2018 by DriveFor1Outta5
Johnny Hammersticks Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 Draft McCoy early in your PPR leagues.
BillsFan4 Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 We are a match up offense. IMO, how much they run or pass will vary by the opponent. Carolina had one of the best run defenses in the NFL last year and has a very stout D line. So, Daboll decided to take advantage of the pass.
reddogblitz Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 It's pre season. What our offense is doing now IS NOT what we will be running in the regulAr season. we won't see it until 9/9
Mark Vader Posted August 10, 2018 Posted August 10, 2018 (edited) I was not expecting the type of offensive play calling that we saw tonight. How many times did we run the ball with the first unit? Twice? Edited August 10, 2018 by Mark Vader 1

Still, I wasn't expecting so much play action, rollouts and lining up with 4 or 5 wideouts as much as the Bills did. I'm glad they did that. I was still surprised.

But out of nowhere... he'll make a few throws that will "Wow" you... Allen is a project, he was a project during college, coming out of college... & nothing has change. He has a little talent... but was he worth a 1st like the 5 experts thought? Heck no! Other experts like Bucky Brooks, DJ, Charles Davis, heck our own best reporters, Sal, Joe B, Fairburn, ect... all said he should be a 2nd rd pick, but given the position it's not going to happen. That's what people got confused on. Just cause he was projected to go in the 1st doesnt mean he was suppose to go in the 1st. Projects like Allen shouldn't sniff the 1st... but it's a QB league..& this stuff happens. This is why something's I love what McBeane has done & some things I don't. Like, what made then not want Deshaun Watson??? What made him not worth the 11th pick 2 years ago? Yet, the Pegula's went gushing over Allen??? How you not gush over Watson??? But hey drafting Allen was bold... & like I've said... "Its a bold strategy Cotton, let's see if it pays off" EJ & JP looked better then Allen in their preseason games... that's facts...not being negative Lets see here now maybe this is right. ☝️ Nope. But it is as close as I can get to the middle finger. 28 minutes ago, BillsFan4 said: We are a match up offense. IMO, how much they run or pass will vary by the opponent.

I really want a thank you Daboll thread even though it's a PRE SEASON game minus shady. I think we have an OC that we will actually enjoy for the first time in twenty years or more. 21 minutes ago, reddogblitz said: It's pre season.

Shady is gonna shake and bake this year as he is on a personal agenda to get to 12K so count on that but it wont be ground and pound buddy.

How about if I'd sugar coat it for you... Man Allen looked great out there...man these experts got it all wrong, did you see that arm? He only has a little bit to work with but I think we have something in him. Man... we finally have a franchise QB, Peterman did well...but Allen out performed him cause he had the 3's. Man this kid is special! Did I cover it all for ya?
