I watched the game again last night....
I've been trying to avoid it, but I was bored last night and couldn't resist. Im kinda glad I did watch it though. I can see why we lost the way we did and it had much more to do with the coaching staff than the players. I know it's not the popular opinion but I don't think the talent on this team is as bad as last week may indicate. That Includes Cassel (ducks for cover)
Romeo Crennel was out coached. He had a shit gameplan and did a terrible job. He was reactive instead of proactive. He put his players in a terrible position. He did not put the right players in a position to succeed. That was the worst DC performance I've ever seen from him. Let me explain.
On the majority of the Snaps the Bills came out and spread their offense. Crennel reacted by putting in our sub defense packages, which usually featured two down linemen. He took Dorsey out of the game and subbed in Gilberry.
The majority of 1st downs we were not in our base D. Gilberry is not an every down player, yet in the 1st half it seemed like he took more snaps than Dorsey. On the majority of Jackson's longer runs which occurred on 1st and 2nd down, Gilberry got his shit pushed in. When ever Dorsey was in the game the runs resulted in much shorter gains.
Gilberry and Bailey absolutely got blown off the ball. Gregg was inconsistant but Dorsey was a beast. So Why the **** wasn't Dorsey in the game more? Especially on first downs.
I recall a series in which the Bills were 10-15 yards from the endzone yet Gilberry took 3-4 consecutive snaps. That's unacceptable.
The Chiefs did EXACTLY what the Bills wanted them to do.
AND THEN....
Berry goes out and McGraw and Shitsthebeddy come in. Rather than masking that defeciency they completely expose it! In what ****ing universe does lining up pissthebedy over a slot receiver or TE make any ****ing sense? And lets not get started on the pass rushing.
I have a lot more to say regarding the offense but the OP is already too long....
In conclusion, the coaching staff failed to put the right players in the right position to succeed.
