Brianmoorman4jesus Posted October 7 Posted October 7 If you let him throw there and he throws a pick when you have the chance to take the lead..you’d never let Brady live that down Quote

They know if you cede the middle to the Bills they can move the ball. They are daring us to beat them outside and entirely predictably we are struggling to do it. Yep. I think another thing is the personnel. When they are passing on 1st down, it's usually off of play action when Anderson, Knox, Hollins and sometimes even Gilliam are eligibles This is why I'm not a big fan of the 6th offensive lineman and "role blocking wide receivers", because when you want to bake in play action off of those traditional run looks, the eligibles you have in are very bad to put it mildly Edited October 7 by BillsFan130 Quote

I am not putting the ball in his hands to do anything other than hand off there. naked bootleg? Probably gets blown up, fumbles, and it’s returned for a TD. Then he shouldn’t be on the team 2 Quote

The ENTIRE BUILDING is assuming run there.. while we wait for them to irresponsibly clear the qb they fail to protect. A little play action and boom, easy td. The passing game looked so good with Allen at QB that I'm sure Mitch would have picked up where Josh left off. 2 hours ago, GunnerBill said: The personnel is a problem full stop IMO.

It was quite possible that Josh was going to be ruled out for the game. So the first down play call has to be something simple that Trubisky can handle cold off the bench but is getting us towards the end zone or into it. We absolutely have to score a TD to win the game. Maybe Brady got buzzed by the people in the tent that Josh was ok and coming back so do something safe on first down, but cmon we need something better than that useless running play. If Josh didnt come back what was Brady going to do with Trubisky? They dont seem to trust him at all and in their defense, Trubisky has been awful. I ask again what is the point of having him on this team? Mike White would be a better backup right now to Josh. Quote

I actually think he’s pretty good for a backup. I just knew, no shot we were letting him pass. McDermott was not giving up the FG. I was actually more afraid Bass would just miss it. 1 Quote
White Linen Posted October 9 Posted October 9 (edited) 33 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: I just find this relevant. It is relevant. It's about doing what the defense isn't expecting. I suspect Brady takes on the same montra as McD, which is largely, we don't care if they know, impose your will. Of course to a degree, you do have to just execute your will on the opponent, that's football. However, we do it so much with little creativity. That's why I get frustrated with our coaching. So few times, it's just the right play call to counter the defense, that we see from more successful offensive teams. Edited October 9 by White Linen 1 Quote
Drew21PA Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Play action pass would have worked think EVERYONE knew Mitch wasn’t going to throw and anyone that studies and knows McDermott - knew he was running it for three straight downs 1 Quote
KOKBILLS Posted October 9 Posted October 9 I knew they were not going to pass... But I know there is one thing Mitch can do... So I was literally yelling Bootleg!!! NAKED BOOTLEG!!! Then they just ran it, like Houston expected...and it looked like no one blocked either... Anyway... Quote
BillsFan130 Posted October 9 Posted October 9 According to Joe Marino, Bills had 25 plays on first down and ran on 19 of them... I knew it was predictable and bad, but didn't know it was that bad 1 Quote

I mean, there HAS TO be something Trubisky is comfortable with when throwing the ball, right? Houston was keying the run for obvious reasons. If the Bills don’t trust him to run something safe in a situation like that, why the hell is he even on the roster? We score a TD after getting the ball at the 15 we most likely win that game. Maybe this is small beans in the scheme of things but a safe pass for a completion would have probably caught Houston on their heels, I thought the same. We needed a TD there. Mitch isn't a great QB but there's gotta be at least one pass play in the playbook that he can execute pretty well. Just one. That's the play I would have called against a defense that was clearly expecting a run. Edited October 10 by hondo in seattle 1 1 Quote
