Buffalo Bills Season's End: The Off-Seasons Starts Now

[SwordsgoneWild]

So many drops bailed out the Eagles weak pass D. We need to torch this unit on Sunday.

I like Joseph anchoring alnd bernard on philly screens and runs. I think t will be a good game for us. We'll see. The posters here acting like both games are a loss is amusing

Chiefs may want to invest in receivers next year

Pick 54 in 2022 and pick 55 in 2023. I don't think they have the cap to invest in star WRs anymore, nor is it their philosophy to anymore. But two seconds in two years is significant investment. Rice looks like a solid player, but outside Kelce and Pacheco the rest of their skill players are very bad. MVS might be the worst WR to play the most meaningful snaps in the last decade.

Their D-line is terrifying. Some of those 4 man rushes were insane.

 

[Jim Bob]

That is wild.

I have to find those Hot Funyans just to say I tried them, anyone seen them around ?

I have seen them recently. It may have been during my Walmart pit stop on my way home from the hospital when my wife had her surgery.

 

[TageGod]

Records aside, neither of these games are that tough of an out. Horrible D on Phi and horrible offense on KC.

Knox is very close to coming back apparently, would give Brady another toy to use, of course they could decide to wait until after the bye to give him a 2 more weeks.

The Eagles ran 4 receivers 100% last night (Goedert out), that will spell trouble for the Bill's with so many secondary questions.

"Fire Canada", one of the best chants at a hockey game ever! lol Going to sing that now in the local mall and store parking lots to all the rude Canadians.

Hurts was not very good last night. He looked susceptible to the blitz. Hopefully its not just the Chris Jones effect. And if it is the CJ effect, lets pray he wore down that offense line to the point they are tired on Sunday.

Taron getting healthy--for coverage, run support, and to create pressure with slot blitzes if Hurts and the Eagles continue struggling to find an answer for those--will be critical

JaMarcus Ingram or Josh Norman (or both) probably get PS elevations and would also be in the mix.

Against AJ Brown and Devonte Smith.

Yes, be afraid, Be very afraid.

It’s about scheme more than anything. They are going to score on us.

You don’t race it up and down the field with Philly. You run it at them. Their run defense is so good because they go up two scores and teams have to pass more. KC showed you can scheme runs against them.

If Kelce doesn’t fumble at the 10 yard line and they score a TD there the game is over.

It’s a huge test. But I love that we have an extra day to prepare and rest and planning. Philly likely spent extra time prepping for KC too.

I’m going to the game so I’m hopeful we see a big one. Of course I’m like 0-3 in live bills games lifetime so

Making Sense of the AFC’s Most Confounding Teams

Even 11 weeks into the NFL season, it’s hard to know whether fringe playoff teams like the Steelers, Chargers, and Bills are trending in the right direction or about to fall apart. But all have offered some clues about where they might end up.

Buffalo Bills (6-5)

It worked! Looking to jump-start an offense that had fallen into a rut, the Bills fired offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey on Tuesday. They replaced him with former Panthers OC Joe Brady—and then immediately hung 32 points on the Jets defense, which had given up 30 points once all season. Buffalo’s 32-6 win wasn’t enough to get it back into the AFC’s top seven, but the offense passed a crucial vibes check in Brady’s first crack at calling the plays.

What did Brady do differently this week? For starters, he kept his turnover-prone unit in check—the lone giveaway came on a Hail Mary attempt at the end of the first half. And he was also gifted an improved field position by the defense and special teams: Buffalo’s average starting field position was its own 38 on Sunday; entering the game, it had ranked 21st in the NFL, typically starting around the 27.4-yard line, per TruMedia. Brady also called more runs than his predecessor, but the lopsided game script contributed to that.

Outside of that, the new offense was the same as the old offense. There were a few more designed QB runs for Josh Allen—Allen ran QB power and QB counter for the first time all season, which will please fans who were clamoring to get him more involved in the run game. But those new plays gained 2 yards on two attempts. That was the overarching theme of Brady’s debut: slightly different and not nearly as efficient. Buffalo put a nice, round number on the scoreboard, but this was hardly an improvement in terms of efficiency. The Bills posted their second-worst success rate of the season on Sunday, per TruMedia; their second-worst passing success rate; their third-worst rushing success rate; and their second-worst rushing EPA. On a down-to-down basis, the offense was better in the performance that ultimately cost Dorsey his job—outside of the turnovers, of course.

The Bills were due for some positive regression, and it finally hit this week. Does that mean the team’s problems—most of which fall on the defensive side of the ball—were solved because of a dominant performance against Zach Wilson and Tim Boyle? Probably not. But it might be a sign that this team is ready to start acting like adults again and make the playoffs. That’s when their deep-seated issues will pop up again.

Verdict: Coming together (only to eventually fall apart).

Against a top 5 defense in the league, they managed to sustain drives and score points. They successfully used presnap-motion and got the ball to the RB and TE through the air, which avoided the strength of the opponent's D (DTs and CB). Using data without context is a cardinal sin in my world, and makes me discount the rest of his writing.

 

[JLewyB]

Seems pretty clear to me that success rate doesnt factor turnovers enough in its calculations. If it does at all. I also believe it punishes long sustained drives compared to quick hitting drives. These new EPA and success rate stats are dumb, in the literal sense. Wouldnt be shocked if KC’s epa was great even though they didn’t score in the second half

It will be interesting to see how the offense looks under Joe Brady

A) When defenses have film and can game plan for the Bills offense under Joe Brady

and

B) When the STs and defense struggle to create turnovers and the average drive start is worse than on Sunday.

Yes, the Jets have a great defense. They also lack an NFL offense and the STs gifted the offense a 3 point lead.

Here is the definition of success rate:

A play is considered successful when it gains at least 40% of yards-to-go on 1st down, 60% of yards-to-go on 2nd down and 100% of yards-to-go on 3rd or 4th down.

Turnovers do not change success rate any more than an incomplete pass or a TFL on a rushing play does.

Eric Turner at Cover 1 has a great breakdown at what a great job Brady did in his first week.

Success rates grade a turnover the same as an incomplete pass. Did you gain EPA on the play? Yes or no. A first down is the same as a touchdown. A fumble is the same as a run for no gain. EPA takes scoring plays and turnovers much more into effect.

The stats aren't dumb. But people that misinterpret them can be.

I respect the hell out of this man. He sent me home at half time multiple times when I went to the game.

The funniest one I can remember came after deflate gate. It was when Rex Ryan was coach. We murdered Indy on opening day. Expectations were high.

Then, Brady and the Pats came into town. We got into the stadium earlier than usual. Fans were talking so much shit to him about being a cheater. I thought in my head- we're poking the bear.

Well, they absolutely destroyed Buffalo that game. I dont think I made it to the 4th quarter.

Many Bills fans hated him. I respected him. It was an easier pill to swallow knowing Buffalo wasnt going to win anything substantial anyways.

Part of me actually feels lucky I got to watch the greatest QB in his prime live multiple time...even if it did come at the expense of my favorite team.

Yeah I’m not like typical Bills fans in that regard either. I’ve always respected the Belichick/Brady duo. I’ve even defended them against the “they only won because they cheated” nonsense.

I obviously hated watching Buffalo get their ass kicked by them so often but it was hard not to respect what they were doing/have done. I always just wished it was some team in the NFC doing it… lol.

And the more I’ve seen from Brady after leaving New England, the more I actually like him TBH.
