Bill Parcells says Josh Allen needs help

It caught up with them last Sunday.  If the Bills are going to win a Super Bowl he is going to need some more help.

I thought that the first 9 minutes of the game in Cinci were a preview of exactly what happened Sunday. 

 

Cinci's offense ran like a hot knife through butter through the Bills D before Hamlin went down.

 

Dawkins is the only OL starter that's considered a quality NFL player.

 

Josh has one reliable WR, and his decent RB is probably too expensive to keep.

Just get an aggressive d coordinator 

Draft offensive line( one guard would make a huge difference)

 

Tell Allen to get the ball out of his hands on occasion. Sometimes he’s his own worst enemy 

 

We are always going to be right there with Allen

He says we need a lot of work on defense and offense. So, where do we start? Coordinators maybe? Some key personnel? Big off season questions for Beane and company.

Drafting more mediocre D lineman is the best way to go in my mind..

Thanks Bill

I wish somebody paid me a million for obvious advice

Why do we still ask their old guys what they think and pay it gospel? Didn’t Polian embarrass himself enough. Parcells, a legend, is so outdated on his nfl thoughts. Based on his rule of how to draft qbs, he would have never even picked Allen.

Yeah I think their personnel is tailor made fo a gap scheme run mix. That is when they are at their best. Their run and pass games are super vanilla, zero play action. As much as he sucks as a play caller, a little Greg Roman run game would really help their cause. 

 

we have the guy who helped design this run game on staff already.

Lost in AFC Divisional Round

Buffalo Bills

I love their team. I think they need a lot of work on defense. However they, conceptually, need a different style of running game and maybe even different personnel in their running game if they’re going to improve. They need to improve their offensive line as well. I think Tampa Bay and Buffalo were similar teams. Each was a one-man show. Buffalo has a great receiver in Stefon Diggs. Tampa has a great receiver in Mike Evans. But it was too much on Brady, and it was too much on Josh Allen. You just can’t play solitaire in the NFL and expect to win.

Great minds!   Stevie Wonder said the same thing.

Epenesa was pretty big when drafted, same as Basham. They asked them to lose weight.

 

 

Then we get pushed around!

Basham looked like he needed to lose weight. Epenesa, I don't quite understand.

Yes. A boat load of Cook loving Bills fans

 

What GALLS ME to no end is that we HAVE the talent to have a great running game, but our coaching severely limits its potential, and that includes Cook.

Just because he is old doesn't make him wrong!

 

This from someone who is probably as old as I am... that's what you call irony.

I see a lot of "commentators" saying this loss is proof that Allen is overrated and/or not very good. Can't carry a team, chokes in playoffs, etc.

Ive heard Cam Newton comparisons but I have yet to ever hear anyone say Allen is overrated. A guy with 180 touchdowns in less than 5 years is basically a one man franchise.

Question: is there any commentator out there who does not think this?

Greg Cosell said this on the Cowherd show today.  His most biting remark was that the Bills "have a below average offensive line from an NFL standpoint".  This makes their production all the more amazing over the course of the season.  It also explains why as the playoff competition improves the Achilles heel of to little Offensive talent outside of Allen & Diggs comes back to bite the Bills big time.

 

Remember what happened to Reid, Mahomes, Kelsey and Hill in the SB against TB when they had to play with a banged up O line that was much below average in that game.  If we fix the line a lot of the other stuff on offense - Allen checking down more, Dorsey being more creative and better WR's, become nice to have not essential components for success.

I haven't heard a single commentator who I respect and has a track record of actually knowing things about football say that.  I have heard plenty of trolling personalities desperate for clicks and controversy say it.  In fact the game this Sunday reinforced for the knowledgeable football analyst just how deficient the Bills are on the O line and in their skill players beyond Diggs.

It's probably where I'm at after the Cincy game that's causing this - but all I read was, they have a great team but they need everything.

Question: if we accept all of his comments as a given, where are those conceptual changes and improvements going to come from this off-season, with exactly the same people running the team?

 

None of that will happen.

Stop with the damn heat on Cook
 

He actually performed whenever he got opportunities

Cook is good, just not built for the pounding of the rock

zero play action

No team feared a Bills runner not named Allen 

[jahnyc]

I think everyone seems to understand that the o-line was not good this past season and needs significant upgrades, but it is kind of galling that our defense is such a mess with so many resources (i.e., free agents and high draft picks) devoted to it over the past number of years.

Parcels believes in drafting big bodies; Beane drafts tweeners like ‘lil Ed and Epenesa.

 

Epenesa was big enough when he was drafted … but then the coaches asked him to lose 30 pounds..:

Guys who are asked to lose or gain weight after they are drafted are by definition “tweeners”.
