jahbonas Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 I was shocked when a reporter asked Dorsey about his play calling in the series near the 7 minutes left in the game mark and up 11 In that series we ran it on 1st down with incomplete passes on 2nd and 3rd down saving a critical minute for the Jets Reporter basically asked didnt he consider running the ball 3x there to run clock and force the Jets into using some timeouts - his response was not a thought at all - he wanted to keep the offense balanced We cant have an OC living in a bubble not differentiating between play calling in the first quarter from calling plays in a 4th qtr with a lead - we will get burned by this 4 1 5 12 1 7 Quote
mikemac2001 Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 You don’t want to just go in a run run run mode and allow them to just get the ball back. I thought his play calling was fine people are just upset at the knox drop play but that’s ballgame if he caught it 14 5 6 Quote
Hsker4life Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 That’s too soon to run run run punt. You run the best offense you think you have an try and string together first downs. 3 3 1 Quote

Malazan Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 (edited) These posts should require a link to the interview. This poster lied about his statement. https://www.buffalobills.com/video/ken-dorsey-i-m-excited-about-the-direction-of-this-offense The question is about 38 seconds into the interview.

3rdand12 Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 7 minutes is a long time from game end to be managing the clock with runs 2 5 Quote
1ManRaid Posted December 13, 2022 Posted December 13, 2022 Last I checked we led the league in scoring in the final two minutes of the half, so it can't be THAT bad. 1 Quote

BuffBillsForLife Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 There's too much time left at that point for run->run->run->punt. Pick up a first or two and then go into run only mode. 1 Quote
Matt_In_NH Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 So let’s do the most conservative predictable thing ever? Just what we need a return of the run run run punt offense I think Dorsey’s point if your goal there is to clock by getting first downs. Sure they can run run run and burn a fixed amount. But try to take 5 minutes and get points. The downside is if you go three and out but it’s worth the risk. Quote
Toyo321 Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 Dorsey is just flat out lacking experience as an OC. Not enough game experience as OC, and to much reading off his to do list. He is just not qualified IMO to be OC. He never was. 3 1 2 3 Quote
Mango Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 I am just worried about not starting every third down third and long. We can deal with clock management later. Quote

The bills are second in yards, fourth in points and second in 3rd down conversion rate. In light of those numbers what reasons do you have for your take? Genuinely curious If josh takes a snap vs the Vikings and Davis holds onto a ball in Miami they would be 12-1. I get things don’t always go well but do they under Daboll? Everyone always wanted him fired too. 1 1 Quote
boater Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 Uh.. isn't McDermott the nexus of clock management, not Dorsey. Didn't the Bills hire a "Clock Management" Assistant Coach? I don't get the venom pointed at Dorsey for clock management. Quote
Ethan in Cleveland Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 It was actually 8:26 left on the clock and that is a lot of time. You can still throw the ball with high percentage plays that will still keep the clock moving. Brady perfected using the pass in to burn clock with 5 min left. You just need to be smart with the calls. I'm pretty sure the second down was a Singletary drop. I think he was an outlet and not the primary target on that play but I may be wrong. The third down play should have been a safe underneath pass that might be able to pick up the first down. Worst case scenario you burn 40 more seconds on the clock. Quote
njbuff Posted December 14, 2022 Posted December 14, 2022 If Bills receivers weren't dropping everything like they were being tossed lava balls, this wouldn't be a discussion. Quote

However, the offensive numbers put up by the Bills this year would support the argument that he's doing a pretty good job. 1 Quote
