After watching the Super Bowl Sunday night, I came away with this overwhelming feeling that the Bills are really far behind on creativity and scheming in their play calling. This relates to both sides of the ball but especially offensively. The Chiefs and Eagles were so creative with their running schemes and midrange passing game and the only thing I could think about is how far the Bills might actually be. I was just wondering if any of you came away with the same feeling? As always, have a great day and GO BILLS!! THIS...times 1000. 🙌 1 1 Quote

Brand J Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 The Bills under Daboll were one of the heaviest presnap motion teams. Does anyone know where they ranked with Dorsey? Quote

Dorsey learning on the job has set the team back yet they must see something most fans don't with the expectation he'll be better in his 2nd year. I can only hope so because one can only imagine what the offense would have been with an experienced OC. unfortunately there really was no one available with such experience and success at OC.

Boatdrinks Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 What stood out the most to me was the answers that Reid has for Mahomes schemed into seemingly every critical play. The other is just how little the defense and pass rush meant in the game. Was it 3 quarters before a sack was registered? With an offensive mind like Reid, the opposing defense is sort of an afterthought. It will be defeated eventually. It doesn’t mean the Chiefs weren’t headed for defeat in the end, though. Just that it was apparent that emphasizing defense in constructing a team isn’t the way to go. Is Beane paying attention ? Sadly, the most memorable thing about the Super Bowl was the awful ending, courtesy of Cheffers and Co. All potential drama was sucked out of the game with a ticky tack flag that shouldn’t have been thrown - and wasn’t all night to that point. Quote
Billl Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 4 hours ago, SCBills said: There's one big takeaway, and it's one i'm quite confident is lost on Beane and McDermott.. Eagles Defense pulled a Bills/Frazier when it mattered. All the investment anyone could want. Led the league all season in almost every metric. Fell flat on their face against an elite Offense in the biggest moments. Could not tell the difference between their elite defense and the average Chiefs defense. ...because that's all you need. An average defense with a gamewrecker on the line. Von is that for us. Jones is that for KC. Make no mistake, for all the offense talk, Chiefs don't even get to the Super Bowl without Chris Jones. If he tore his ACL, it's a wrap on their season also. However, they have a fighting shot, because they realize that beyond Chris Jones... it doesn't matter, it just has to be league average... and due to that philosophy, Mahomes has an elite OL and a ton of weapons every year. The Chiefs just drafted two defensive players in the first round, one in the second round, one in the third round, one in the fourth round, and two in the seventh round. All 7 of them played in the Superbowl and 4 of them were starters. Chris Jones is a monster, but 6 of those guys were major contributions. Kansas City just isn't as worried about losing games during the regular season because of rookie mistakes. Reid understands that the postseason is all that matters, and he coaches to win in January even if it means talking your lumps in November. 1 Quote

What I saw, were two teams trying to win….Not, trying not to lose. Without DaQuan (which then limits Oliver) and Von Miller, Frazier would have been insane to play play man on a snowy, sloppy field with no pass rush . Cinci WRs (any WRs in fact) would have been open all day. Guess the D was pretty much screwed that day by the weather, a weakened secondary and not having the two FAs they got specifically for that game. Sounds like excuses, but backups kind of suck in today's NFL. Let's see how they play it back in 2023. I just wanna see my team with the guys they blew their salary cap on (Hyde, Miller, Jones, White) actually playing in the f ing game at 100%. Quote
Jerome007 Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 3 hours ago, DrDawkinstein said: So to recap... we need Better Coaching and Better OL. Groundbreaking thread. Yes. And the BiIls need another WR1, only "man island" defensive backs, linebackers that will replace Edmunds for 10% of the cost, and so on. Thank you. Now we won't post till Septembre 2023. We wouldn't want to disturb you. Nope, the point is that better schemes take ZERO new players. It can be done... NOW. As for the Oline, yeah we all pretty much agree it's the priority, and the Superbowl showed it. But I also thought our DBs were so much better. And Diggs beat any WR in that SB. Fans only see their team's weak points, as if other teams don't have any! But we can't have coaches continue to lose games.... Quote

Id counter with the fact KC doesn’t invest heavy dollars, outside pass rush, to guys on defense. Evidenced by letting Sneed walk. Also bolstered by having excess picks. If the Bills took a blow torch to the defense and had to draft a LB and CB early, but spent like the Chiefs did on OL.. I’d be all about it. The difference between the two teams, aside from the Chiefs drafting better lately, is that they don’t get cap strapped to help Mahomes because of defensive investment. I don’t think Veach would pay Edmunds. I also don’t think he’d ever have picked up Oliver’s fifth year option. Yet we’re all worried about cap issues re: offensive help here because Edmunds and Oliver are likely going to eat up 24M of cap space next year. 2 Quote
Jauronimo Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 It looked like we were playing on hard mode most of the year. KC, San Fran, Philly scheme guys wide open while our offense is just "Allen go do crazy *****!". 2 Quote

Ethan in Cleveland Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 10 hours ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Eh. Everyone overreacts to everything. With how the Bills were playing at the end of the season, they won’t have beat either of those teams. However, earlier in the year, they beat the Chiefs and were SB favorites. I will say that too many people just assumed Dorsey could do a job he has never done before. Actually to the credit of this board, I would say the majority felt Dorsey was one of the biggest if not biggest question mark going into the season. I thought Beane had done enough with the OL by bringing back Bates and signing Saffold. But Brown and Dawkins both regressed and after a few good games Saffold was terrible. Every backup except Q was gross. They will all be gone. Beane needs to draft at least 3 OL - an OT, a C/G, and another OT that can play G, in the first 5 rounds maybe even in the first 4. I am fine with their philosophy of being able to play multiple spots. Yes Davis had a lot of drops but his numbers improved over 2021 and his numbers for a #2 are good enough. The failings are not getting Knox enough targets, and finding a consistent move the chains type guy underneath. I would still draft a WR in the first two rounds next year. They will not be able to afford Davis and they need to start getting younger at WR. Quote

I can only hope so because one can only imagine what the offense would have been with an experienced OC. unfortunately there really was no one available with such experience and success at OC. That OC will take a head coaching position in a year after having "success" with Allen. The HC needs to be the offensive mind as to continue to have a consistent offense throughout Josh Allens career. Quote
