Who hates offense now (and 300/400 yard passing games)??

Haven't read this site too much.  Plenty of people here love smashmouth football and have continually said that 300 yards wasn't needed and 17-13 games was what they are happy to see.  

 

Take a look at ant response to my comments about the Bills inability (until 2020) to put points on the board and inability to throw for 300 yards.  

 

Many on TBD will tell you that Josh throwing too much and 300 yard games are not necessarily a good thing.

 

 

Let me remind you of your headline:  "Who hates offense now?" See the problem? Nobody. Every. You're far off the track.

 

If people said that 300 yards wasn't needed, they were correct. And if people said that 17-13 games were what they were happy to see, I think you were missing their main point, which was that with that lineup, it was a good way to win, and that we weren't built that year to score a lot of points, that as long as were were winning, running more than most was just fine, particularly with the personnel we had and a young and inconsistent QB who was still developing.

 

And again, that is correct that 300 yard games are not a good thing. A 300 yard game in a loss is a very very bad thing indeed.

 

You're off-base. Nobody was against getting better on offense. They were against people blowing hot air on and on about how a team couldn't be good until it was getting 300 yard games regularly. Because teams can be good with nearly any strategy on offense. As long as they win using it.

Rack on another 4th qtr comeback...

I'd rather not. Lets enter the 4th quarter up 3 TD's, please. 

 

Stress level can't handle it.

Look you can go on and on.  Very simply the Bills were a joke and their inability to throw for 300 was a national talking point brought up again & again in 2019 (& plenty of times in the first two weeks this year). 

 

The fact the Bills never once did it with McD as the coach was an issue and excuse me for being excited to see them doing it.

Boy I already miss those 17-14 games.....😜

 

This is not real football....  3 yards & a cloud of dust is what football is all about.....🤣 

 

Finally some common sense on this board

Nowadays the best approach is to be a chameleon....throw it all over the yard when the matchup dictates that.  Run it down their throats when the matchup dictates that.  Balance when that is right, mix it up, make teams have to prepare for you in a lot of variations.  The key is to be good at those variations.  The Bills are heading down the right path.
