Week after week we watch them stroll him out their early in games when they plan on running, then take him out in passing situations. He’s a tough back, but he’s not helping this offense get moving early in games. Tough to do when you only get 9 carries the entire game. We ran the ball a whole 12 times today in crap weather with our RB's. 3 1 2
BigBobby Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 We kill drives with weird running plays to a 36 yo rb. That's our identity. When we lined up on 3-1 early in the first with dimarco and gore. I said to my wife and kid...game over. If that's our strategy today, we aren't going to win. Can't quit important drives. 1

Boatdrinks Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 It’s hard to have an identity when they do so few things well. I don’t care about identity as much as scoring points, which means catching passes, blocking to set up screens , not false starting etc etc
BillsVet Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 (edited) Hard to have an identity on offense when the HC makes building the defense a priority in years 1 and 2 of a complete rebuild. Well, aside from drafting a QB they did very little on offense in (EDIT: 2017-18), hurried to catch up this past off-season and expected the offense to make a huge leap to being average from 2018. It has failed miserably through 7 games. Edited October 27, 2019 by BillsVet

What intelligent, well reasoned point are you making here? I think this thread is valid regardless of the outcome. Could you have defined our identity after last week's game? The sky is not falling, we lost to a good team. No disgrace there. I'd just like to see us do something in particular well to help us build consistency and confidence offensively.
dakrider Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 It seems like the Bills would like to say they're a run oriented offense with play action passing but in reality their a hack rushing offense and end up putting JA in position to have to play perfect football in order to proceed. In this game Singletary made a nice run after the catch to score 1 TD, but did anyone else on offense make any great plays? Bills want Allen to run the ball on 3rd and 4th and 2's but don't want him to play "reckless". I think Allen is learning to play exactly how the Bills coaching staff wants him to and that is a big part of the problem! 1

They've already said it's the most complicated offense they've ever dealt with. Not to mention Dumbell's plays take way too long to develop. And this puts Josh at risk of strip sack fumbles. I don't see Dumbell surviving after the season.
Bleedbuffaloblue Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 There is plenty of blame to go around after this game for sure. The play calling is a head scratcher for sure at times. The big problem I have is not making proper use of a dynamic player like Singletary. The guy was showing really great numbers for his limited touches early on before the hamstring injury, now he is finally back and again being totally under utilized. Get this guy the ball, especially out in space and good things happen as with today’s TD. The OC’s decision to keep this guy on the bench or only used as a decoy is just plain dumb and really unexplainable. 1

BuffaloRebound Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 Not sure why we don’t run the ball more with our RB’s, but it’s hard to gameplan around an inaccurate, turnover prone QB, who can’t hit a deep ball.
Da webster guy Posted October 27, 2019 Posted October 27, 2019 We started the season with rhythm passing, short completions, move the chains. Keeps Josh upright and the offense gets good time of possession. Now we will go entire halves with none of that. Easy to blame the OC, but C'mon Daboll you have to take into account how your defense is playing, weather etc., and adjust man.

It has failed miserably through 7 games. QB 7th overall, 2 OTs and a WR taken at the top of the 2nd round. McD is a defensive HC and he hasn’t had good OCs leading his offense.

Defensive units have a pretty clear cut goal - prevent the other team from scoring and try to make them punt, get a turnover when you can. On offense it should be try to score every time you have the ball. In certain situations such as the end of a half or end of game then worry about managing the clock. Bills coaches seem perfectly content to just try to get a first down and then punt and play field position. Successful teams: Whats are plan on offense? To score a touchdown! How we going to do that? Get first downs! Bills - Whats are plan on offense? Run some plays and see if they work, run some time off the clock, then punt and play field position, let the defense win it.
