The offensive philosophy of this Bills team is what?
I'm not sure. Before the season started, we were all reading about a no huddle K-Gun style offense built around giving Spiller the ball until he puked, but that never materialized on the field, not even close. I didn't see Spiller puke once!
The Bills offense is built on consistently running the ball, and hitting the big play with their edge receivers. Problem is when the Bills can't run the ball, they have a hard time passing.
When the Patriots can't run the ball, they just pass all day long. Bills can't do that. So I really have no idea what the philosophy of this offense is.
Teams aren't going to respect Manuel's ability to run much come next year because I think the Bills are going to do everything possible to help keep EJ healthy, which means very few if any read option plays in 2014.
K-Gun? Chandler is a decent player, but he's not Keith McKeller and he's not Pete Metzelaars. He's a white Lonnie Johnson.
Spiller can't block like Thurman Thomas, and that's a big problem if the Bills want to use Spiller as their feature back in that kind of offense.
In retrospect, the idea of starting a rookie quarterback and expecting him to execute a hybrid 2013 version of the K-Gun was more hype than reality.
The, "hi tempo," offense had to be scaled back. Manuel got hurt. The Bills offense still lacks an identity.
Will Hackett modify his, "vision," of what this offense is going to be, or is he going to head into 2014 with the same blueprints?
Is he going to continue trying to fit round pegs into his square hole vision on offense, or will he build his offense around the players he has?
I think Hackett should have a good long conversation with Mike Pettine.
