Laughing Coffin Posted January 7, 2020 Share Posted January 7, 2020 (edited) 9 carries in almost 3 quarters, in a game where we were up 16-0. Absolutely terrible Gore has averaged 2.64 yards since week 8 Philadelphia. We needed to just pound Singletary there another 5-10 times that half.

I agree he needed more touches especially in OT where the clock was no factor. They really managed Singletary's usage this season McDermott mentions something in his presser about needing to spell rb's I don't think the Bills are looking for a bell cow feature back situation. I don't get the feeling that the Bills are a team that is overly concerned with their offensive personnel and what the play call is We've seen some bizarre personnel choices in play selections all year. Or Daboll doesn't adjust his playcall to go with who he has on the field especially in no huddle. I cant come up with any other explanation for Gore, DiMarco lined up as WR's as often as we saw Or running Gore on sweeps etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Livinginthepast Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 Did anyone explain at the post season press day why Duke was inactive for most of the season while other inferior players played? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a chance to catch a perfectly placed jump ball in the end zone yesterday and failed. He is a #4 WR at best. So should John Brown be cut too? He's dropped much easier passes than that this year. Same with Cole. Same with Knox. Same with everyone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Evidently he did not show enough in practices to earn the right to play till week 17 I am paraphrasing McDermott when asked about Duke.

Mat68 Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 I dont understand not playing Foster. Games they got him involved vs an occasional deep ball he popped to me. He can do all the McKenzie stuff but adds more outside. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SCBills Posted January 8, 2020 Share Posted January 8, 2020 (edited) John Brown is really the only WR that deserves to be safe. ...and he should be safe as the 2/3 WR. Cole Beasley has some good games and then some games where you forget he’s on the team. He’s safe though. Will probably be more effective next year when he’s not the #2 WR. I don’t know what to do with Roberts or McKenzie. We really should have only one of them. Foster should be gone. Duke should stay as the 4th or 5th WR, but he could’ve cemented his status if he makes that TD grab. A guy like him needs to make that play more often than not. Unfortunately his best catch was called back from holding on Kroft. I’d double dip in Rounds 1 & 2 on WR’s OR inquire about Odell Beckham. It’s that big of a need.

Guess we'll have to accept it, It would be nice to have heard an explanation right from the head coach and not guess work. Listening to Beane today I was surprised how honest and candid he was about Josh. It would be nice if they could be so about all player personnel moves this season.

HAHAHAHAHA. The ball was fine and Brown had plenty of room. He didn't even need to leave his feet. I have no freaking clue how he didn't keep his feet in here. Truth. That was as catchable as it gets. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Between this screw up by Brown, the two Duke drops, Beasley’s vanishing act, Gore’s corpse and whatever the hell is going on that DiMarco is running go routes while McKenzie’s 5’8 body is trying to shield defenders on comebacks, the need for playmakers was EVIDENT Saturday.

How about just using these guys based on their strengths/talents as an easy first step? This OC designs plays as if the team is full of Pro Bowlers. In doing so he puts our avg talent in hard to succeed situations. And then guess what, they don’t or can’t execute the play!?!? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOL just paraphrasing McDermott's response. I think most of us are of the same opinion that personnel decision making needs work Hopefully roster upgrades will make a lot of these head scratchers go away 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He has suspect hands, and his knee down before the marker on 3rd and long is a perfect example of his limitations in big spots. It’s the reason he was phased out of the offense in Dallas. He is not now, nor has he ever been, a reliable “Edelman-like” player. I respect your opinion...no matter how wrong it is Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To bad the DB had his left arm hooked it could have been a defensive PI but wasn't & he still almost caught it . I think the Bills were better for him being on the field he also had a catch called back on a bogus cal on Cody Ford that was for a first down so it would have been 5 for 10 given the Ref's BS call . All in all i think he was better on the field than Foster & given more time to develop in the offense can be a much better player for the team he is after all still a rookie int the NFL right ??

So yes blind or high or completely mistaken . It wasn't an easy catch because the defender leaves his feet and comes across Duke's body. Duke is also at full stretch and twisting. Watch the replay in slow mo if you cant get this point, or just keep up the hate for Duke because he's the only reason they lost the game right? On 1/5/2020 at 10:11 AM, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: Duke did everything he needed to on the play to make the catch. He ran a good route. Got good position. Turned and stretched his body. Just failed to grasp the ball. Everything Duke did leading up to not completing the catch tells me he is perfectly capable of making that play. He just let it get by him. Not lunacy at all. Watch the play again, he only had one arm to catch it. The defensive back was holding his left arm down. That said, the Bills definitely need to continue upgrading the wr corps, the oline, and they also need a new OC.
