I'll still say that McKenzie is fairly straightforward. You get more from him than others who dodges tough questions.
Two things worth noting. One is the running game. We all know it but still fairly shocking to hear an offensively player say it straight that "we don't run the ball". Not even to keep the opponent honest. I'll say it again that you hear all the former coaches/analysts say we put too much burden on Josh by ignoring the running game. We play in Buffalo right? To this date, the success Buffalo had in those Kelly's year had a constant threat: Thurman Thomas. Yes you need a QB, but in Buffalo, you may also need a Thomas to fully get the home-field advantage.
The other is the complexity of the passing game. McKenzie brought up the difference between Bengals and Bills passing game. He basically said snow does not affect the Bengals' but does a lot to the Bills' because Bengals are doing fairly simple concept. I'm getting the feel that we are an offensive show for regular season but when the playoff is around, when the weather gets bad, we are not well fitted for playoff football.
