The Buffalo Bills have the unenviable task of punching their way past the Kansas City Chiefs and making the Super Bowl. While they have a talented QB in their ranks, they couldn’t get over the Patrick Mahomes-shaped bump for one reason or another.
Their sordid performance has Bills fans stumped on what they need to do to make the big game while Josh Allen is still at his peak. However, it’s clear to Sean McDermott that what they need to do is to be more assertive in one aspect of the game.
Sean McDermott wants the Buffalo Bills offense to remain dynamic in 2024
Sean McDermott understands that there isn’t a better alternative to breaking past the wall that the Chiefs have built up aside from simply brute-forcing their way past the obstacles that have been set.
Sal Capaccio of WGR 550 Sports Radio wrote about the areas that McDermott would be focusing on to help the Bills finally make the Super Bowl next season:
“You’ve got to be able to get the ball either thrown down the field or you’ve got to be able to complete it short and then have it run down the field,” he said, “whether it’s via RAC (Run After Catch) or throwing the ball down the field and completing it on deeper passes.”
McDermott said defenses have made things more challenging for offenses to do this over the last few years, as well. “The game’s changing a little bit, too, with defenses going to more with split-safety looks and more zone versus man,” he said, “so it’s kind of forcing quarterbacks or offenses to be a little bit more patient at times. So the value of RAC is important. If you’re going to throw it short you better be able to take it from five (yards) to fifteen or to fifty, and I think that’s an important piece, as well.”
Stressing the importance of analytics shows how lackluster the team’s receiving core has been. Stefon Diggs led the team during the regular season with 1183 receiving yards and 8 TDs, but he has been frustratingly quiet on the field when it matters most. Moreover, he’s rumored to be leaving the team soon.
While Gabe Davis has been a solid WR2 for the Bills, he hasn’t shown enough to become WR1 should Diggs leave the team. This leaves the team without a reliable weapon that could take over should their top wideout walk out the door.
This is the sort of problem a team doesn’t want to have when they’re gunning fo the Super Bowl. Sean McDermott and the Buffalo Bills have a lot of adjustments to make if they want to make the team the top dogs in the AFC once again.
