    AVP - Incredible Play Calling

    Did anyone else notice some of the plays from the old K-Gun being called? Delayed Draw, Screens? #22 looks a little like #34 out there!

    While there are a lot of good things to take away from this game... AVP's playcalling is at the top of the list!

    Doesn't he just call the formation and then Trent makes the decision about which play to run? Either way, one of them did a hell of a job.

      I liked some of the play calling, but let's not go overboard.

      17 offensive points and 302 total offensive yards against a lot of new starters is not that incredible.

        Don't forget the Bills had 3 first time starters on the O-line.

          Plus they didnt have the ball for too long either I don't think. The Patsies held the ball for a while on all their drives they just didn't get many points off them.

            It's better then the usual 3-10 points and 200-250 total offensive yards against the Patriots.

              Again, I think he did good and the offense was better than expected. I don't think it was "incredible" though. Too many times we like to throw out a superlative when we shouldn't.

              It was very encouraging though.

                A commendable first effort, yes. Better than what we might have seen with Turk? Probably. I liked the tone of the calls, and would have like to have seen what they could have done had several drives not been botched up due to penalties.

                  The offense was really hurt by drops and penalties, and that's not on play calling.

                    It was not incredible, no. Had they have won, that would've been incredible.

                    But, after 1 NFL game calling plays, AVP showed that he isn't trying to out-think the other team too much. He stuck with what was working, and kept it pretty simple. If it isn't broken, why try to fix it? I think that's the motto he needs to have. Until the opponent can stop it (the screen, or whatever play), keep running it.

                      the time of possession didnt help either.

                        I thought AVP called a nice game. Some of those drops on 3rd down were killers. In reality, they're almost as bad as a turnover, forcing the Bills to punt on the following play. The one that Owens dropped was really frustrating.

                          Playcalling was AWESOME! We caught them off guard many times and Edwards was right on the money for most of the night. It's too bad that penalties and drops ruined a few drives, but I was loving the calls by AVP!!

                            Yep, there was at least three drives killed by penalties.

                              Maybe it was where I was sitting, and I'll have to watch it on my dvr first, but I thought it was gonna be a dink & dunk night. 4yd, 7yds, 5yds. At one point I held up my sign like I was at an auction and yelled out 'can I get a 10? how bout 20? Then he threw a long pass and I felt better.
