It's still coaching

[Herb]

It seems that nearly every time the experts start talking about us being an elite team, we have an inevitable crashing back down to 🌎. As a head coach, you have to realize very quickly that you have absolutely no answer for the opposing team running the ball and dominating the time of possession. The only answer to this reality is to score quickly whenever you possess the ball. McDermott has largely coached just well enough to sustain his job. We fans have witnessed countless performances in McDermott's tenure that have defied logic in terms of how well your QB performed and how the games ultimately turned out when it really mattered most. This was our first real test of a playoff atmosphere where a team at home needed a win. 35-10 the way we did it says everything to me.

Theoretically, if a head coach would design the perfect QB to run a full no-huddle offense, who would that be? 🙄

It’s a passing league. The Bills are designed to stop the pass. A team that runs the ball freakishly well got ‘em last night. The Bills had a night where things snowballed on them and they didn’t recover.

 

The answer is to just score. It doesn’t matter whether it’s with a huddle or without one. Would a hurry up offense have stopped the Ravens from having their way with the Bills o-line? Doubtful and it may have even got worse.

It's talent, or the lack thereof, too.

It very well could have gotten worse, but it would have been a lot more entertaining if we had sped up the game as soon as we knew we couldn't stop the run.

The shine of the first 3 games turned out to be a mirage.

You can never coach "not to lose"

We certainly have a top 5 franchise QB

Those first 3 teams have combined for a total of 2 wins so far this year, so....yeah.

[Aussie Joe]

Imagine if they lose next week ? 😂

This is what should have been Pegula and Beane's reaction to what occurred:

Why is scoring quickly better than scoring period?   I think possessing the ball is pretty important against an opponent that is running the ball effectively.
