How to win with Drew "The Tin Man" Bledsoe and ...

[The Black Bear]

As much as theblackbear wants "The Tin Man" gone from the Buf it appears that it ain't going to happen any time soon. Sure we can continue to call for the trade and/or release of The Mummy but until Donahoe and Wilson wake up and lose their crush for The Walking Stick Bills fans will be stuck with the overrated, overpriced, heartless big game loser.

So what can the Bills do to be successful with him and a crappy offensive line?

This is what theblackbear feels is the only chance to take this team to the next level with the current game killers...


THE NO HUDDLE OFFENSE.


We got a look at how the offense could be successful with this strategy against the Dolphins. It worked against that team and it could work against others as well. Defenses hate nothing more than they do the no huddle offense.

Fat defensive lineman lose their breaks to the sidelines, pass rush specialists either get stuck on the sideline or get mismatched on the field on running plays, the defensive coordinator loses some of his control, and defenses have to become more conservative.

No Huddle Offense = Advantage Offense!


A lot of people think that the Superbowl Bills had a great offensive line. That's really funny considering that the team could not be consistant offensively before or after the emergence of the No Huddle Offense. That system jump started the Bills offense and helped take the team to another level. A four Superbowl in a row level.

The Buffalo Bills need to ........

1. Switch to a No Huddle offense (permanently)
2. Allow Drew Bledsoe to call the plays at the line of scrimmage for this offense like Kelly did. The plays he feels comfortable running. The defense lines up to stop the run then go with the pass. They line up to stop the pass then run the ball. Whatever they give you attack it.


The switch to the No Huddle Offense would help out Bledsoe and the Offensive Line. The team may not be as good as the Super Bowl Bills but they will definitely be better than they are now. They'll gain confidence and grow as a unit. Teams will not blitz Bledsoe as much and they won't be able to consistantly stop the run.


If "The Tin Man" has to stay this is the only way to be successful with him!

Good point, TheBlackBear. I love the No-Huddle offense and I think it would work as well.

theblackbear has been calling for this switch for 2.5 years. It's what the offense needs with it's current personnel.

I've been saying the same thing since Drews 2nd year. Does this mean I'm a bear too? :scared:

The offence has been successful over the last several games with the no-huddle and with a more conventional approach at different times. I believe the no huddle should be part of the Bills' offensive arsenal. However, back in the days when Buffalo ran the vaunted K-gun with a no huddle fore several years, I always noted that then the situation dictated that Buffalo abandon the no huddle in order to run clock, they became ineffective. The team got to the point where it could not run a conventional offence.

I believe you are still stuck in the early part of the season with regards to the effectiveness of the offensive line, Black Bear. There are still some weaknesses. Buffalo has struggled running the ball up the middle, but pass protection has been improved significantly, and Buffalo is getting its running yardage one way or the other, particularly late in the game when they've been ahead lately.

Drew has also been more effective in a conventional offence for more consecutive games than he has been in two years. I believe that the offensive line still has some upside, and maybe Drew too. I want opposing defenses to be worried about as many things as possible when they play the Bills. It's true that the no huddle is difficult to defense, but if opposing teams know you're going to do it all the time, its actually easier than when they pull it out of the hat in the middle of a quarter and the defense has to adjust on the fly.

[Jan Reimers]

I agree, TigerJ. We can't run the no huddle continually, because it will wear down our own defense and become too predictable, among other things. But it IS a good weapon to have in our arsenal and should be used fairly often.

Hey Black Bear, how many teams have won a SB with the no huddle offense? Next.

Deep down inside... there is a little bear inside all of us. :bighug:

It's bearly possible. :snicker2:

[THATHURMANATOR]

Not a horrible Idea bear. I don't think it should be the entire offense but it should be brought out at times like last game.

[The Black Bear]

Nothing is more difficult to defend than the No Huddle offense. Not the West Coast Offense (actually the East Coast Offense), Not the Run-n-Shoot, Not the Air Coryell style of play, and not the bruising ground game.

"How many teams won Super Bowls using the No Huddle offense?" PLENTY!!

They used the No Huddle offense to score when they needed points at the end of the game. It doesn't matter if it was full time or not most teams use the No Huddle offense some time or another. Even rookie quarterbacks have success using this offense.


theblackbear disagrees with the "pull it out as a suprise" tactic. It doesn't matter if teams see it coming or not they still have difficulties defending it. Just look at how the Bengals in the 80's used it, or the Super Bowl Bills, or even the Manning led Colts.


This is not a trick play that needs to be pulled out to catch teams off guard. If you sit on it in a game you can easily fall behind and force yourself to become one dimensional.


Hit teams with it early and often or don't use it at all!

The no-huddle has been ineffective when Jennings holds or Drew needs to call a TO. Then we lose the advantage of momentum it brings to an offense.


"2. Allow Drew Bledsoe to call the plays at the line of scrimmage for this offense like Kelly did. The plays he feels comfortable running."

He was supposed to have this ability all along from the beginning of last year. Too many drives killed because he has to call a TO due to seeing something he doesn't like.

Audible then Drew, audible!

[ScottLawrence]

I agree with you on Drew but......Your an idiot.

[Turf]

I'm sorry but the The Turf can't take anyone seriously that speaks about themself in the 1st person. Next......

[The Pooh Bear]

The Poor Bear thinks all the other bears are vastly inferior to The Pooh Bear.

Oh, and he thinks the no-huddle will get crushed if they use it against NE, if they were ever to play them again.
