Dan Orlovsky: Amari Cooper's Initial Impact, Bills Offense Finding Its Way | One Bills Live

[@johnmarlow7959]

NFL, don't sleep on Buffalo

[@giorgikharchilava7258]

As a Bills fan, I feel like for the moment we are the worst of the 4 division leaders in AFC. Maybe we are better than Houston now w Cooper but I'll defer to them since they beat us fair and square (and were missing Nico Collins for most of that game). Our only hope is that we have the Chief's number in the regular season, if we can beat them at home in a couple weeks I think we're right up there but I still see a clear talent gap between us and the Ravens who literally have 2 hall of famers in their backfield it's pretty hard to compete w that.

[@adampilarski7083]

Really, please do sleep on us 😅

[@axe2grind244]

No please, continue to.

[@AreolaGrande94]

Fitting. I guess they won’t because we’re about to be sleepless in Seattle

[@burkhartlaw1]

2:40 YAC how many times did we see Diggs make a catch and immediately dive to the ground? He did that over and over, especially in the regular season.

[@myapatterson8228]

He was not good at YAC

[@TylerLutseo-rp9uu]

Diggs was a YAC monster the first two years but I agree the last two years he was here, he went down a lot and he asked to be subbed out a lot.

[@jay-ninja17]

I love buffalo! BILLS 💯💯💯

[@PaulHilburger]

GO BILLS.

[@nickgerald4359]

When this team is rolling, it’s as close to unstoppable as it gets. The only team that has been able to stop Buffalo at their best is Kansas City. Very interested to see how this matchup goes in a few weeks

[@jamesoncull8252]

We gonna win that's what 🎉🎉🎉

[@CoachBombay91]

One game at a time my friend.

[@REDSHlFT]

I personally disagree. I actually think the Bills are better built to beat KC than a team like the Ravens. If it were me, I’d choose to play KC in the playoffs than the Ravens, despite the history with KC in the playoffs.

[@bigmike-ip8bn]

Cooper was the key now defenses have to respect the deep shot

[@curtishughes5430]

They ran more bubble screens which I loved. If you have the blocker's it's a great play coupled with the run game to keep teams off balance.

[@jeromedion5723]

Amari Cooper dropped the first pass from Josh Allen . . . he must have forgotten it was Josh throwing the ball rather than Watson.

[@ObedienceSuffering]

Reminds me of Cooks first carry for the Bills was a fumble. I think they get those kinks out early and get it out the way. Amari Cooper should be amazing for us! Go Bills!

[@tommcmasters8429]

I am surprised by the YAC conversation that it wasn't said that in years past the Bills lived on receivers/ Diggs settling into an open area 8 to 20 yards down field and Josh firing a line drive. These were nearly unstoppable and resulted in relatively quick drives down the field. This not only explains the lack of YAC (its hard to get YAC when the receiver is stopped while facing the line of scrimmage) but also explains the superior 3rd down conversions. This also still works in the red zone. However, people looked at the YAC and thought it was an issue and so there has been a concerted effort to run plays that would get more YAC. They are beautiful when they happen but they take more finesse on the pass and more separation. Which the Bills have been trying to get by wasting a pass catcher that is trying to pick. All these hurt the yards per attempt as well as the 3rd down efficiency. And it especially shows up when there is pressure. Fortunately it hasn't hurt the red zone yet.

[@giorgikharchilava7258]

I honestly think the low YAC throws that you're talking about are equally complicated and just don't fit our skill set to this point this season. Diggs was crisp enough of a route runner to run those downfield, long developing routes and Gabe, though not as technically gifted, built up enough rapport w Josh over the years for those throws to work w him (admittedly like once every 5 games but still). None of our current receivers are consistent downfield/intermediate route winners except for Coop, so I think the types of throws you're talking about will ease back into the offence as Cooper settles in and the other receivers improve and grow their chemistry w Josh.

[@tommcmasters8429]

@giorgikharchilava7258 I have more confidence in the current receivers than you, but I am pleased with the Cooper addition.

[@dalebechtel8904]

The ravens look unbeatable right now. Let’s hope they slow down. Go bills

[@TylerLutseo-rp9uu]

They are very beatable. Teams are starting to gather info on their offense with Henry, it’s a lot different than years past. Their defense is more than gettable. The bills played their F game against them and were down a lot of key players. It would be a different game if they played today.

[@thedeifiedjulius2310]

They always look great in October; they, as well as Lamar, will falter in the playoffs like always.

[@thesedaze2381]

They lost to the Raiders, they are not unbeatable.

[@giorgikharchilava7258]

Agree it's hard not to be scared of a Lamar-Henry backfield. In other years I felt like our defence could contain just Lamar or just Henry but together it just seems impossible. The only hope is that Lamar is truly a playoff pumpkin and isn't just suffering from a small sample size

[@davwes8594]

If they dont try that stupid trick play they prolly score on the drive and make it a one score game, would of been a completely different ending

[@lurky529]

Go Bills!

[@matthewwronkoski3894]

The other thing that will help is eventually some of the Bills players will start to get more PI calls there's been so many missed calls, after a certain point people are going get tired of Bills receivers catching the ball with half their jersey missing, in the last 4 games there has 20+ no calls on holding at minimum or PI starting to look ugly in the league

[@randymccloud5743]

Dan is exactly right. The Bills offense is so vanilla. They make it easy to defend. They line up, and run the same plays over, and over. Some different pass concepts would help a lot. With the talent they have, they could run a lot of different looks...but don't. As for 3rd down, if you're going to go run...run...pass...run...run...pass, it makes it pretty easy to defend 3rd down, when your only option is to pass, and the defense knows it.

[@robertschoelerman7496]

So a former 3rd string back up QB that constantly gets teased for his boneheaded mistakes on the field knows more then Josh and the bills got u joshes worse game is better then Dan orlovskys best game

[@NFL1976]

After the beatdown that the Ravens gave the Bills, and watching them make decent teams look very bad, there's something that Ravens have that very few teams do. Size! You can't teach it. A punishing defense, and the most punishing run game in the business belongs to the Ravens right now. The Bills have a lot of speed, some of it untapped with the smaller receivers, rb's and st's. I'm really enjoying watching this younger and new talent, along with the emerging receiver core. Going to be a tough road for the Bills to get to an AFC Championship this year. We'll see, and I always hope! The main question is KC against who?

[@michaelsongin4007]

The Bills were missing 3 All Pro’s from the defense when they played the ravens…. Lol what.

[@robertwalters58]

I'm not sold on this version of the Bills just yet. The Titans are a horrible team and outplayed is badly in the first half. If we were playing a top offence we would have been down 28 at the half. We are too small and have no talent at linebacker.

[@buyystocks]

@@robertwalters58 correct.

[@FatTony508]

We are just getting started trust LFG Bills

[@louisejackson3931]

Go bills

[@tilemonkee5510]

I think that skinny guy that seemed to do all the talking, should be sending weekly advisory updates to Mr Coach McDerm!! 😂❤

[@MrNyQwill]

Just wait till this defense is in full force when everyone is back.

[@jcZo23]

The DL is mediocre, that's why they never win 💩 in the playoffs & why they'll never be a "full force" anything.. small at LB, DL is mid af & the FS blows

[@TajFitzgibbons]

CCOOPPEERR

[@giorgikharchilava7258]

Love Orlovsky. I listened to him when he said that Jayden Daniels would be the best rookie qb and my fantasy team is benefitting because of it. Thanks for all the evenhanded analysis Dan !

[@matthewwronkoski3894]

I think 3rd down % isn't as important as brownie thinks it is, if get a TD and never have third down is that bad? And right now with the injuries on D it's smarter to be safe save on Allen injuries or picks that the D in bad situations, I guess at the end of the day a win is win no matter what the 3rd conversion % is

[@stevenbryant6160]

GO BILLS..🫶🏿🦬💪🏿

[@Vipaworld_Vito]

Looking optimistic …. Allen completing only 49% on 3rd down … and yet 5-2 … can’t get worse…. Upside from here

[@robertschoelerman7496]

We seen more from cooper in 1 game then we saw from diggs the s cond galf of last season

[@jcZo23]

Lol yeah not quite man

[@davidmccoy846]

Third Dawn conversions probably has a lot to do with it with the fact that they have. Josh Allen convinced that he shouldn't run on third down so he decides to run when it's too late. That's what I seem to have noticed. That's a shame to coach the Josh Allen right out of Josh Allen. I just I just don't get it

[@josephlawrence9584]

100%

[@pistolpete7422]

Not worth it in the regular season unless you’re in jeopardy of not winning the division.

[@Vipaworld_Vito]

Save the runs for when the game,,, but most importantly the season is on the line … can always have josh designed runs hiding in the bag …. Luring defenses on not looking for him to run …. But then again … teams are having spies on him which the D loses a player in coverage …

[@David35687]

Yeah, well breaking a bone in your left hand causes the kind of pain that reminds you not to do stupid things.

[@natanyahubanyahsharal5734]

Myles Garrett will be a Bill soon.

[@mikeelton3686]

Nig fan of Dan! Balanced criticism and knows his stuff!

[@pistolpete7422]

Pause

[@CS-zz2bf]

Might wanna check the spelling not sure

[@timswauger9245]

4:52 "new element to Josh's game? Um, not really" how about not turning over the ball!

[@RobertWilliams-ku5ix]

He hasn't turned the ball over tho ...

[@RobertWilliams-ku5ix]

The nfls Messiah leads the league in interceptions and not a peep

[@DEVILDOG1964]

BILLS NEED TOI ADOPT A MONTRA "I FEEL THE NEED THE NEED FOR SPEED" SICK OF SLOW STARTS. GOOD TEAMS WITH WINNING RECORDS BEAT TYHE BILLS WHEN THEY FALL BEHIND!! NG!!

[@Whiskey_spectre]

If Buffalo wants to beat the upper echelon teams, cut hamlin and get a really good deep safety who can slow down the run. Rapp is the lone ranger. Also wouldnt hurt to have linebackers who dont miss the whole season.

[@jcZo23]

If they wanna beat good teams they need a better DL cuz its not good, it's just average

[@BuffaloveBills]

Let’s Go Buffalo!

[@FreshlyFried]

Sorry I can’t watch this man. If there’s a edit without Dan I’m in

[@dominiquecortez8725]

Why?

[@trevor9972]

seattle wins 27-17

[@NFL1976]

Who is Seattle's quarterback?

[@Elixir_JPGG]

​@@NFL1976Geno Smith

[@hockeyteeth]

Are you sure about that????

[@thesedaze2381]

​@Elixir_JPGG hung around for a decade now gets his second chance.

[@gabrielwendell8382]

i dunno if metcalf is out with a bad knee bills got a chance.
