We absolutely need to start taking more shots downfield, especially with Kincaid.  He is able to beat linebackers down the seam and we aren't doing it enough.

and a shallow crosser should be running underneath Kincaid seam route. Providing levels of depth. Certainly a man coverage beater combination.

Beane, make it happen!

It makes sense. Guy who is unhappy with his usage could come here and instantly be a focal point. I'm not sure if he has the talent to have all that attention on him though.

Erik didn't say Brady "doesn't have the scheme to beat the defensive tendencies emerging." That's way more definitive than what he said., It implies he will never be able to handle it with his scheme, and that's way more than Erik ever said or appeared to mean.

 

He did say that Brady will have to do a better job scheming to beat those coverages, and that appears to be very correct to me.

 

Unless the Bills can learn to handle this variation they're getting, it will be a long season. I'm all but sure they'll scheme better and handle these variations better. But how much better?

 

Most of this group hasn't played together or with Brady before. It'll take time to smooth the rough edges, without question. Even with the edges smoothed, will they be good enough to be legitimate contenders. That's the concern.

This is my take also. This video was very helpful in breaking down what happened.

 

This team was getting 2 deep coverages, taking away the big play, and Brady and the FO made a strategy for that both with scheme and personnel, running the ball and going underneath. Now teams have tape on the Bills offense and came up with a new strategy, with one high and man coverage, especially since our less-than-stellar WR core can’t beat man. 
 

This is the chess game that goes on every NFL season, where teams make game plans against other teams once they have tape.  I’m glad this is happening now, because I am certain this team will just get better from this, finding ways to counter the strategy the Ravens and Texans used.
 

This happens to even team, and the best ones learn and find ways to adjust.
