listen i bet the iggs pretty heavily tonight to, but im with RF and his Mr Wolf quote, not only on the season...but this game......
that was the best the bills have done on defense against brady in 10 years
The more I watch and study Chip Kelly's offense, the more depressed I get that our new coaching staff has abandoned the scheme we ran last season that utilized many of its concepts.
It's true that we have some read option in our offense this year. However, we're using them more as random plays, not as foundations for a packaged play scheme. It seems with so many concepts at work in our offense, Allen has made incorrect reads several times on these read option plays in the first two games. See the zone read plays we ran (both from the pistol formation) on 2nd and 6 with about 2:49 left in the third quarter and on 1st and 10 with about 11:40 left in the fourth quarter of the Northwestern game for a couple of examples. Allen should have kept the ball on the first play, and he should have given on the second. He didn't make the correct read of the unblocked end either time, and the results speak for themselves.
Interestingly, he made the correct "bubble screen read" on the play before this second example--a big gain by Estime based on the fact that the safety was playing 10 yards off of him. Inconsistency in his reads and, therefore, his decisions (along with his tendency to stare down his No.1 receiver) is likely a sign that Allen doesn't quite know or trust what he sees on the field yet. The question is how long can we afford to wait for him to reach that comfort level?
For what it's worth, Hunt's reads were sharper in his one drive, but he also improvised more effectively. :noidea:
And as Legendof44 predicted, Vick was limping after a long run.
they sure figured it out alright
Did you watch that game? The oilers did not take their foot off the gas. They just kept throwing and throwing and turning over
patriots probably videotaped everything
Yes, I watched the whole game. Maybe that wasn't the best example in the context that I used it in, but the point was that anything can happen, especially in the last 30 minutes. And it seems so more in the NFL than in any other sport. Did anyone really think that the Redskins weren't going to make a run in the second half yesterday. That's why you rarely see a lot of huge blowouts in the NFL. The coaches are much too smart and the player's are very much competitive.
To be fair too, the OC may not have taken his foot off of the gas, but I bet a few players did.
Sure. I'm more referring to the new fast paced offenses. I think we'll see success from both the smash mouth ground and pound teams and the fast paced teams. It comes down to execution and match ups.
Yep, you're right it was the pace and style of the offense that killed Philly last night. It was the five turnovers (boneheaded plays by traditionally boneheaded players) and the defense never being able to make a stop (last year's achilles heel). But keep telling yourself that the 431 yards of offense and the style of play was what killed them.
It's like when Boeheim loses and people scream about the zone. Oh Lord
