So the main thing moving forward that we have to think about is above the play by play execution of JP and McGahee and the OL. Its above the D and ST and forcing turnovers.
Its an overall adjustment to what the Bills are doing by opposing teams. I have this feeling that the Texans were caught a bit off guard. Thats probably an understatement. The Texans probably stacked the box expecting a healthy dose of McGahee. Yet the Bills came out throwing. In this case the pass opened up the running game. Is that a bad game plan moving forward? It seems backwards right? Well I just dont know. I suppose it would work week to week but it stands to reason that we will have a more boom or bust 1st half with a greater chance for big costly mistakes or big plays.
Now, I can promise you that the AFC East teams to notice and even scouted what the Bills did on Sunday. Can it be sustained? will this O scheme last? Im not so sure. Every year this happens, usually its us who suffer through a slump or slow start because our planning didnt or doesnt work. This year the reverse seems to be true. So, lets assume for a minute that the Bills plan to mix and match game schemes each week based on the opponent. Logically, that could mean that we can take nothing forward from the Texans game going into the next game. And we may see an entirely different result against TB if the scheme is completely different.
Its a bit of a catch 22. If we continue using what worked against the Texans, we can expect our success to get harder and harder as teams figure out how to beat it. If you change it up each week, you run the risk of going outside of what your team is best suited at executing which could be very bad with a young QB. What do we do?
Id love nothing more than to stump the Patsies and beat the snot out of them with something they havent seen before. But what if our young QB hasnt practiced it enough and makes mistakes? Mistakes against the Pats could very likely cost us the game.
I think the first real test is the ATL game. Im anxious to see how we do against them. I think we beat TB who didnt do very well against the run.
