All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
Why is going to the WCO "biting the bullet"? You do know a lot of SB's have been won with this offense, right?
A lot of Bills fans hate anything that didn't work under our crap coaches over the years even though the system may have been successful elsewhere. West Coast Offense, 46 defense, cover-2, etc. All Super Bowl winning systems that failed in Buffalo, but succeeded elsewhere. Failed in Buffalo - must suck.
Honestly that's the first thing coming to my mind when I heard the news. Trent, Walt Harris, AVP, you connect the dot. But it is not a simple change. The routes are very different in design. I just don't know if the Bills have enough time to pull it off.
I bet Belichick is going to see something very different from the past Bills O two Mondays away.
So our weather would prohibite us from throwing a lot of short passes? Can't say I fully understand that one.
I think because the WCO is based more on passing. It's not the fact that it's short passes, it's more the fact that passing/running is closer to a 60/40 split than a 50/50 split. Which may end up haunting us when the bad weather comes around.

TO played in that offense in SF and Philly, that helps. What doesn't help is it's 10 days to the opener. There just isn't enough practice time. But we have a QB that is good at the short pass and a green OL that will have trouble protecting for 4-5 seconds so the WCO makes a lot of sense for us. There's no law that says we can't run more than the typical WCO either.
I would welcome some west coast offense here. Quick slants, just get the ball in the recievers hand and let them make plays. Especially TO, he would get his touches for sure.
The Polian Curse
"They're a very special group of men. Cherish them, you will not see their like again."
February 4, 1993 Bill Polian at his closing press conferance after being dismissed as GM of the Buffalo Bills by Ralph Wilson.
The big difference is instead of Turk's "take what they give you" approach, it would be more of "throw to where the receiver should be" approach - typical WCO offense more on a timing route.
