Re: Bills plan a faster pace on offense
I wish they would just worry about pounding the rock on the ground.
EJ is dead if we don't have a great run game this year. -
Re: Bills plan a faster pace on offense
You mean like running a no-huddle all pre-season then scrapping it the week before the season starts?Comment

Re: Bills plan a faster pace on offense
I guess last seasons' differential in TOP wasn't good enough for them, so try to increase it...Originally posted by GingerP View Post

Re: Bills plan a faster pace on offense
We didn't scrap it before week 1 as I remember we ran it quite unsuccessfully early on in the season as remember someone posting how we had the 2nd most plays behind on the Eagles at one point. Personally I hate the idea. To me if we're going to win we need long eat up the clock drives and strong defense to win. As to me the best part of EJ's game last year is driving this team down the field 75 plus yards for TDs. Granted he didn't do it every time but all the reason for us not to run a quick pace offense as leaves our opponents more time to score more against us and weaken our D because their winded etc.Originally posted by OpIv37 View PostComment

Re: Bills plan a faster pace on offense
A fast paced offense only works if you have a team that can consistently put up 30, like the late 80's/early 90's 49ers, early 90's Bills, late 90's Rams, Patriots and Colts of the 2000's, etc. When teams score that consistently, TOP becomes less and less important because most opposing offenses can't keep pace. It also helps if the team has a good D line, because they can rope the other team into a passing battle, then pin their ears back and go after their QB.Originally posted by The Jokeman View Post
I agree with you- the current incarnation of the Bills hasn't proven that they're that good. Maybe they will be with all the potential at WR, but it largely comes down to Manuel. We're also stacked at the RB position, which makes a possession game easier. I'm just not sure putting a young qb into a fast-paced offense is the right way to go.Comment

Re: Bills plan a faster pace on offense
I've railed about that repeatedly. You need to let him get educated about all the tricks and shifts the opposing defense does. You don't want him to resort to flinging desperate (inaccurate) sideline heaves when pressure mounts.Originally posted by OpIv37 View Post
Worse, they touted it - telegraphed it to the rest of the league last season...here's what we are going to do. Add in the premature announcing of who is going to start, the draft signals they put up - can't they just keep their mouths shut for once?Fiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.Comment

Actually, at one point in the season, the bills' offense was FASTER than the Eagles'.Comment

I heard on WGR the Bills were behind only Denver & New England for the number of plays ran per game.Originally posted by The Jokeman View PostComment

Re: Bills plan a faster pace on offense
That's a misperception. Fred Jackson's got one foot out the door. Bryce Brown is nothing but a slim hope for much beyond backup duty. Spiller's proven that he's not a 3-down RB.Originally posted by OpIv37 View Post
If FJ struggles this season as he likely will, and sees increasing injuries, as he likely will, we'll be without him next year. Unless Brown does sometrhing, and he never has, then we're down to Spiller, who may not even be here next season either.http://www.billszone.com/fanzone/sho...s-haters/page3

Re: Bills plan a faster pace on offense
I'll keep an open mind on Bryce Brown. From what I've read a while back, he was buried on the PHI roster...it was a trade - rare these days, and BUF mgmt gets my trust here.Originally posted by Fletch View PostFiat justitia ruat caelum. Noli timere. Laus Deo.Comment

So that was the problem with our offense last year!!! We just weren't fast enough! I have no faith in Hackett.Comment

Re: Bills plan a faster pace on offense
i think if you are saying your defense is your best asset, why would you speed up your offense to keep putting the defense out there. if it's unsuccessful you are pissing away good starts by the d by tiring them out. i would honestly think you want the team to be as slow and methodic as possible. given that the OL is one of the biggest, it's even more reason to slow it down and ground their d down. if it doesn't work, you've given your d a little more than 30 seconds of rest.Comment
