Nextmanup Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 You ask for one thing but I can't fire anyone? That's stupid. The 1 thing I would do, BY FAR, would be to get an experienced play caller in here to be the OC. And that would necessitate firing Dorsey. I think that is, by far, the 1 single move that would improve this team the MOST next season. Secondary would be to do anything that improves the offensive line. Third would be to get another stud receiver to share the burden with Diggs. This isn't rocket science. Last thing I would do is tinker with the defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought maybe the Bills should look to bring in Frank Reich as OC when he was available. But that can't happen now since he is the HC of Carolina.

WhoTom Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 50 minutes ago, WhoTom said: So trading for Mahomes compensates for all that? 44 minutes ago, BullBuchanan said: Yes. I can agree that Mahomes seems to be better than Allen, but if he could single-handedly compensate for a porous O-line and a defense that chokes in the playoffs, then he'd have three or four rings instead of two. The question is whether Mahomes is truly better than Allen, or if he simply benefits from solid protection and throwing to the best TE in the league right now. If Mahomes had to carry the team on his shoulders, would he play hero ball and throw more picks the way Josh does? Conversely, if Josh had KC's line and offensive weapons, would he be more calm and methodical in the pocket? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Conversely, if Josh had KC's line and offensive weapons, would he be more calm and methodical in the pocket? That question is answered my man. Patrick Mahomes = 2x SB MVP, 2x regular season MVP, 2x SB Champion. Josh Allen = Really good qb. Complaining about o-line is such a lazy, tired take from teams that couldn't get it done. Allen's o-line was mediocre - they weren't atrocious like this board would have you believe. We still had the 3rd highest YPC despite not having an elite runner, and our offense only gave 0.1s less of pocket time per play than KC did for Mahomes. Allen also had less hurries and knockdowns than Mahomes with 7 more sacks. We need a new excuse, because this team wasn't a winning a Super Bowl with The Great Wall of Dallas.

jethro_tull Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 " dump a bunch of resources into the o-line " seems like more than one thing. as much as I like Dawson Knox, at 6ft 4 he plays much smaller than the Eagle's Goedert at 6 ft 5 and of course Travis Kelce, also 6ft 5. I know they do not grow on trees but that formula really works and has worked for a long time. An upgrade to a dominant TE is what I would do. As for who, I do not know. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isn't a part of this a better mesh between the GM and the HC/OC. If Dorsey and Allen are aggressive, that's okay, if Beane can get the correct type of WRs on this roster. There has been a lot of Allen needs to take the check downs that are available, but what if the other way is explored? Get more explosive WRs so that you can run an offense that makes the other team defend every blade of grass. We can't do that right now because past Diggs, every other WR we have has a limited skill set. Gabe runs two routes and is 4.54 on a good day, Isaiah McKenzie is not reliable and gets lost because of his size, Beasley is 34 years old and hovers around 9-10 ypc now, Shakir was a rookie so McDermott is still understanding who he is as a person (he said this in a press conference about Kaiir Elam late in the season), and there is nothing after that worth talking about. Diggs has just enough deep speed to enable the bomb, but he's more a route tactician. What if the Bills drafted for speed, a Jalin Hyatt in Round 1, Zay Flowers, making a trade to get more vertical speed on the roster? I think Dorsey would look better with a consistent slot WR, and Gabe moving back to the #4 role in the offense. It's a big ask, but I don't think a Frank Reich suddenly makes Gabe Davis stop on a dime better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last year it was every 2.87 plays. We were also better on 3rd down this year over last year 50.26% vs 46.40% and 4th down 53.85% vs 50.0%. Can't get any better than finishing #1 in 3rd down percentage in the league.

In my opinion this coaching staff & management have failed on multiple different fronts. Wyatt Teller, the 10th overall pick, Hodgins, a lot of draft pieces & money in general on the DLine n it’s not producing, revamped the OLine atleast 3 times when continuity is key, and this is not even discussing the gameday management, schemes, & strategy. 🥺 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
