Seems a lot here love the word Process from a coach who took over a team that went 24-24 the three years prior to him & is 25-22 with him as coach...... Man so it is working. 3 more wins, a Legit QB Prospect. A Rebuilt team and no cap issues. All that and still made the playoffs 2/3 years.

Oh, wait... They were not in fg range (haus on a cold night from 52 was not making it) at the time & Josh made a great read & great pass. An incompletion & still needed at least another 5-10 yards and plenty of time.
chris heff Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Is there another team in the league that has nine new starters on offense?
Beast Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 The players left at least 11 points on the field they didn't cash in on. This freaking blaming McDermott has reached epic levels of stupidity.

This shouldn’t be an issue at this point. We’ve stayed relatively healthy aside from Singletary missing some time, Kroft missing time and Nsehke being out the last few weeks. This offense is what it is. I’m just happy we’ve got the big play game going heading into the playoffs. Advance, and we’ll be back to playing elite defenses, but Josh is getting better at going up against them, and we know this offense can score on the non-elites.
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 ....would be an asinine philosophy if accurate....what if the opposition scores 22?.......now what?......how the hell do you draw a generic points goal in the sand that fits your weekly opponents (SAME size fits all)?......

Their passing offense has been non existent and their rushing offense middling. The Bills’ D got gashed anyway. At some point the Bills’ offense needs to step up against a decent defense. They’ll be one and done in the playoffs if they can’t put up more than 17. The Texans' defense is far closer to that of Miami and Dallas than it is to NE, PIT, and BAL. It's worse than Denver's. (Just talking about our last 6 weeks of football) We're going to score more than 17 points. This stretch was always going to be brutal for the offense, it is brutal for ANY offense, and it will make them a better offense come wild card weekend. Edited December 22, 2019 by arcane

After getting the lead, the staff immediately became conservative and put the game in the defense’s hands. Allen has just come off of a perfect ball to Brown to be ordered to take three straight runs and punt. How about letting your qb keep the good vibe going? Nope. Time to put the game away with the defense with a full quarter to go. Not. Good. Enough. 38 minutes ago, Binghamton Beast said: The players left at least 11 points on the field they didn't cash in on. This freaking blaming McDermott has reached epic levels of stupidity. As is blaming Allen on a weekly basis. Goes both ways.

Steptide Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 I had a feeling the bills were gonna go conservative against new England and that's exactly what they did. I really hope some of it was just not wanting to show their hand too much before the playoffs. We'll see
Steptide Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 Just now, ScottLaw said: Except they've been conservative all year.... Yes definitely to a degree. I think they should go back to the no huddle. I'm not sure why they stopped the last 2 weeks. It works well with Allen.

Somewhere in the back of my mind is a small but growing thought that this year's focus continues to be about putting Josh in as many pressure situations as possible. Sure, making the playoffs is nice (maybe even a bonus), but the "process" is all about 2020. Forcing Josh to deal with tight, low scoring defensive struggles (almost like 50/50 jump balls) is about his development. Next year, when he has more weapons, maybe McD will take off the training wheels...

I think he is fine. I would imagine the more they come to trust Allen the more open this offense will become.
Jrb1979 Posted December 22, 2019 Posted December 22, 2019 You would think McDermott, since he came from Carolina, that what Allen is best at is a lot like Cam Newton. A QB who makes plays with his legs and using bootlegs. Making Allen a pocket passer and a game manager screams conservative play.

Granted, Bills were at their own 37 but at some point you have to be aggressive and let your players win the game. That was the turning point in the game. I was thinking same thing why not if you lose what dose it matter your still 5 seed I was hoping for bills to play fearless
Big Blitz Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Technically if we didn't need a TD because we allowed like 3 ten minute scoring drives....I'm exaggerating....we were in position to score 20. We "only" had 17 because we needed to get to 24 plus to win against an offense that's been in a coma all season. 20 points and we would have took that. Team loss. Stop overreacting to the points. We were in position to be at 20. We tackle better all we needed was a FG there to tie.
Dr.Sack Posted December 23, 2019 Posted December 23, 2019 Why does it seem that completing a pass is so difficult when Brady hits checkdowns, screens, outs and crosses with ease? I mean 13 completed passes in 4 Qtrs is Tyrod Taylor.

Can say whatever he wants, but this team only scores over 17 by accident. That's overstating it. But yeah, they're limited. But they're averaging 20.5 per game, so you're really overstating it. And yeah, it's been three straight weeks ... against the #1, #4 and #10 defenses. Quote The offense is so uninspiring, so little creativity & a coach that can say all he wants, but in reality wants no turnovers & to play the game close to the vest & between the 20's. Creativity isn't the problem. It's personnel, and a lot of it is Josh Allen. He is improving but he's young and inexperienced and this shows. Hopefully his improvement will continue and be consistent. The OL is good but not good enough, partly because they're still gelling, and partly because they might be able to use an upgrade. The TE group is inexperienced or unexplosive. There are problems with this roster ... especially as they really are here a year early. The biggest problem is still Allen, though.
