t was painful to see the run up the middle for a 1 yard game all game long. Teir pass rush was destroying us and yet no screen passes or roll outs to slow the pass rush down. It was horribe.
Ozzy rules!!

even if it was vs those teams, it would be totally unacceptable.I'm sorry, but when you are shut out, get only 103 total yards (14 rushing) & only 6 first downs the whole game against Buffalo, you have a serious problem on your hands! while Buffalo doesn't have a bad defense, it's not like this was Seattle or SF at home, but Buffalo. How we can play so well against teams like the Pats, Cincy, Indy, etc. but lose to the marginal teams and then this . . . . . .
You can somewhat blame the players, but the coaches call the game and are supposed to make sure the players are ready to go and execute.
If I had a dollar for every run up the middle for a gain of only 1 or 2 yards this year... I'd be a rich man.
Why is this so hard? Play to your STRENGTHS... and away from your WEAKNESSES.
Mike Sherman is an idiot. Plain and simple.
I don't know what to think anymore, do we have a GM problem or a coaching problem? It has to be one or the other, right? The fact of the matter is our offense improved immensely after we got McKinnie, we went from being ranked 25th to 15th in DVOA. We've got Tannehill closing in on 4000 yards, two receivers closing in on 1000 yards and Clay producing good stats as well. I made the point in another thread that we struggle against teams with top defenses, beating only one team with a top 10 ranked defense according to DVOA rankings (and in that game our defense scored 12 of our 22 points). The Bills are ranked 4th in defense DVOA fwiw. I think that stat is meaningful but I'm not sure if it's more indicative of poor talent or poor coaching.
Offensive coordinators are everybody's favorite whipping boys when a team is losing and I'd love to hate on Sherman as much as the next guy but we're putting up stats on offense that we haven't done in decades. And we're not talking about garbage time stats, most of our games come down to the wire.
I'm pretty sure our GM is bad so logically that must mean Sherman is at least decent?
And to give a visual reference when I say Sherman must be decent this is the face I'm making:
