When the Bills D is playing badly, I’m seeing guys just flat out getting beat. That’s not scheme, it’s a lack of talent. The scheme puts the guys in the position. The scheme dictates certain “types” of guys to play the positions. They have consistently tried to ram square pegs into round holes to fill the scheme needs instead of playing to talents, so I’m going to go right ahead and disagree. The scheme is the issue and the inability/unwillingness to even try something else is an issue. The D line was built on the premise of rotating guys, until Von came and said “I can’t play half the time and be effective”. So now they don’t rotate and the Smurfs gets tired and run over. You made a change to suit a guy that’s useless and refuse to adapt to the players you have. Meanwhile the much maligned O coordinator, who fans think has zero creativity, takes another OL and puts them at TE to make the run game work bc his TEs can’t do what he wants. So where exactly does the buck stop? Does this team have talent on the D? Not much. Who wanted the players they have? I’m not sure . Whose job is it to maximize what they have? That I know. Who’s not getting much from the talent? That I know. Who seems to always make the wrong call in key moments in big games.. again.. Edited yesterday at 05:57 PM by DCofNC 1 3 Quote
TheWeatherMan Posted yesterday at 06:00 PM Posted yesterday at 06:00 PM McD hasn’t reinvented himself since 13 seconds, what makes anyone think he will ever concede that his zone d doesn’t work against quality passers with quality OC’s? Only chance we have on winning in the playoffs is for the offense to put up 35+ points. 3 Quote

And I think it's fair to say Josh's talents have been wasted these last few years. I don't see Sean ever changing his scheme. Yes I'd love a dominant 1T or pass rusher. But his scouts & gm have never found one. And without a front 4 push, his zone falls apart. If you're waiting for him to reinvent himself, you'll be waiting for an eternity. My dream team coaching staff would be: Ben Johnson HC Brian Daboll OC Jim Schwartz DC Dave Flipp ST ....Brady will likely be gone and Daboll will be out of NYG. 2 Quote

I’ll pass on Daboll, let Johnson bring his own guy and preferably have him retain the play calling duties anyway. The rest, I’m all in. Quote

BearNorth Posted yesterday at 08:37 PM Posted yesterday at 08:37 PM Cinci this season is the current shining example of investing nearly all your assets on the offensive side of the ball, and guess what happens - you have great offensive stats but have trouble winning games. Cinci has not beaten a single team in the top 20, their wins have all come against the bottom 1/3 of the league. Quote

Does that make us the shining example of investing a ton of resources in the DL, and still having league-worst defensive stats at various times over the years? 1 Quote

We're worse than middle of the pack. 21st in sacks 23rd total yards allowed 25th in passing yards 29th in 3rd down % ....we can't get off the field to save our lives. If it wasn't for our takeaways we'd be terrible defensively. Edited yesterday at 10:50 PM by LABILLBACKER 2 1 Quote
