Allen's accuracy has been my favorite thing about his game this year. insane throws into insane windows
It's really been on another level this year
it’s them zyns
I think they’ve really nailed the type of weapon that Allen needs. He doesn’t need super flashy guys that are as toxic and narcissistic as they are talented, he just needs guys who are hard working, selfless, and have great hands. The Bills most talented weapon is Amari Cooper, and he’s only on the team to scare defenses into covering him, opening things up. Teams are frustrated because they know if they don’t lock down Cooper, he will make magic happen with anything Allen throws his way, but that if they do cover him, the Bills have tons of other players who will make something happen. Johnson, Hollins, Kincaid, Davis, Coleman, Knox, all of those guys are on the same page and are good at catching the ball. Allen is surrounded by big bodies with good catching abilities, and he’s only knows that his elite O-line and personal escapability will allow enough time for him to find someone open, run to take care of it himself, or at the very least avoid a negative play. The only real exceptions are Cook and Shakir. Shakir has shorter arms and can’t reach for things as well as some, but his skillset allows him to really shine with an insanely low drop rate, being that nimble and solid slot guy who can really beat teams up. At the same time, Cook has been a fantastic back, making this an incredibly diverse offense. Seriously, the Bills are way more complete on offense than anyone could’ve expected. Bring pressure, the O-line will pick it up and Allen will beat you. Take Shakir and Cooper out of the game, the Bills will bring out Ty Johnson. Try to stop the run game, Allen finds Coleman down field or checks it down to Hollins. Force Allen out of the pocket and Knox and Kincaid magically find themselves open and go for 25. Switch things up and watch James Cook cook. Get to third or fourth and one and watch Josh Allen turn himself into a human battering ram and push right through you for the touchdown. Gotta love how creative this team’s diverse and complete talent, elite O-line, amazing OC, and MVP QB has allowed them to be!!
hi: this should not surprise you the least. Jim Kelly was run and shooting even back in 90's. Run and Shoot is the same as this type of formation: you do no huddle and you run confusion and hit weak spots where the defense cannot cover. This is no surprise that Bill are still good at finding the holes.
Actually the advanced metrics say he was less accurate this year than he has been for the past 4 seasons. It really just boils down to the fact that his offensive coordinator isn’t a total dunce anymore and he can finally run a consistent offense. I hope the Bills manage to keep Brady around so Allen doesn’t have to learn a brand new system for the 3rd time in 3 years.
only 3 minutes in and you're reminding me why i love this channel, you make schemes i could never imagine seem simple
also not talked about enough is their WR's willingness to block on run plays. all of their WRs, especially Mack Hollins, will throw themselves at defenders constantly to get Allen and Cook extra yards
Gotta block to get the rock
And they take no plays off. They run clear out routes like their life depends on it. Really a great culture in Buffalo rn
Hollins is putting in overtime every single week. Loved the move back in the summer. Really loving it now...
falcons fan - loved Hollins last year
Teaching defenders to deal with dirty bunches is a nightmare! Too many variations and too much for defenders to remember all at once - it makes you play vanilla drop backs, but then you get toasted because they know exactly what you are running.
Very Clever stuff
it's kind of sad how some coordinators don't consider everything when it comes to play calling. I know play calling is difficult but damn lol
@@21Kolbyou can’t exactly consider everything when the idea is to have a play called weighing strengths/weaknesses (personnel) with circumstance. Sounds contradictory, but you can’t prepare for everything.
@ thats true but at the same time the lack of creativity with some of these coordinators needs to be studied.
Lack of football IQ is why defenders are out of position. Watch film🤷♂️

so glad this showed up in my RUclips feed. great breakdown of this stuff. way above my head but very educational. I actually chucked at one of the samples as it was amazing how the defense got so confused. thanks for making this.
In Buffalo it's called the "Snow Plow" not the tush push! But great video
ask dion dawkins. its called the shnowplow ⛄❄
@scottb6300 you already shknow
As much as this hurts me to say, that snow plow didn’t work 2 days ago
Been a huge Khalil fan for the last couple years. I was super excited to see him get to have a bigger, security blanket role. And he’s been great this year
Wow, what a great video. It's not easy finding RUclips channels that show Josh Allen or the Bills in a positive light. This video needs to be seen by
all of the people saying Josh is over rated. Dude is a beast and I've never seen WR's, TE's and RB's so willing to put themselves in harms way to block
for their teammates like this Buffalo offense. Hats off to every one of them for being so selfless just to get the dub. Thanks for the hard work it must
have been to put this video together. Subscribed! Keep up the good work.
Thank you for making these videos. I have not been a big football fan for most of my life after the Bills 0-4 during my younger years. I've been on the fringes and the game was a mystery to me. Your videos reveal the complexity that they can't explain during a live game. Very well done. My mom was a huge football fan, watching your videos and appreciating the Xs and Os (and Jimmies and Joes) brings me closer to her memory. Let's Go Buffalo.
Josh for MVP let go Bills!!
I played football in high school. I should do a breakdown channel like this. j/k I love this channel. Appreciate how you break everything down to such simple concepts. Keep going.
I've been a Bills fan forever! And the fact that you've covered them on your channel; confirms my belief, that they're going in the right direction. I appreciate the work that you put into these videos. Best wishes for continued success for your channel in 2025 and beyond.
~Dex™.
This is some of the best video analysis I've seen in a while
This offense is lightyears ahead of the crap Dorsey was doing
The fact they were still as successful as they were with Dorsey is telling of Allen. Elevates everyone around him
This is the best breakdown of the Bills offense. Their plays create organized chaos, and Allen has the skill to adjust on the fly and the athleticism to make big throws in motion or go for it himself. Defenses can't handle it.
finally a video about the bills. they’ve been at the top of the game for five years now and i think this is the first video yall made about them
One of the plays I haven’t seen very often from other teams is putting the eligible 6th OL in motion. Works great as a lead blocker, since he’s got enough steam to bulldoze a player. Or to set up a bubble screen but with Alec Anderson lead blocking instead of Mack Hollins.
Awesome video. Hollins is turning into one of the best signings Beane has made during the off season.
He was pretty rough early in the season. He couldn't catch a cold.
Can we talk about how Shakir's field awareness has made so much of this offensive teams plays possible? Seriously, that young man is going to be a massive threat durring thebrest of his career and his spacial awareness and overall view of the field is amazing.
Yeah J.B. is a great coordinator, but it takes the talent and skills of the players to pull off. An Shakir makes these plays look easy. His attention to both his team mates and opponents, his pacing, and eye for open pockets, along with his timing is simply top notch.
shakir rams td is insane from the top down view lol 2:31
Great break down. This is the first video I seen of yours, now I'm gonna find more. (I'd love to see the Xs & Os of how Brady & Allen have evolved this season. Baltimore's Cover 0 heavy blitz and disguised rushes/coverage, followed by Houston's simple Cover 1 / 1 high middle close both gave the Bills FITS. I was worried the receivers talent wasn't going to beat man coverage after that. But then all the teams tried it. Lions, Jets, Miami, Patriots, even the Rams 3-4 & KC almost abandoned the heaviest zone D in the league for man, and the Bills were then able to beat it. Brady's formations seemed to work. It was worrying, cuz Allen has ALWAYS been great against man (most dual threats are - there's generally an open lane to take if the X didn't get open). But since those early bad games against man coverage, how have they been beating it since?
Rubs and leverage from motion are a big part
Shhhh!! ..Why you have to put my Bills on Blast... all jokes aside very well done ... Go Bills!!
When you actually watch the games, and you realize that the Bills are doing this with like you said, a pretty "ragtag" group of receivers...it's really more impressive what Allen has done. He doesn't have a 1000 yard receiver on this team. The only pro bowler besides him on the offense was his left tackle. James Cook should've got the nod over Joe Mixon based on stats and team record, but for some reason he didn't. Cook has pretty much same yards in less attempts, averaging more yards per carry and he has like 5 more rushing TDs over him or something.
The best thing about this ragtag group of receivers though is that they clearly are all bought in to what Joe Brady is doing and they're playing TEAM football. They don't care who gets the targets, they all block effectively in the running game. I mean look at a guy like Mack Hollins. I feel like Mack Hollins has been talked about more this year than he's been in his entire career. He's sort of a minimum contract type of guy who rounds out a depth chart but he's been critical to Buffalo's offense and he's getting a lot more snaps than I bet anyone thought he would to start the season.
I don't know if Buffalo is gonna go all the way this year. I think a big part of that possibility will involve the Steelers upsetting the Ravens in the Wild Card because I just think Baltimore is a really bad matchup for the Bills, and it's just their defensive personnel right now. They're not a good run stopping team and they don't have any answers for Derrick Henry. A lack of size and strength with their front 7 and it's something this team will have to address through the draft. Their defense has definitely taken a step back. They're good when they get takeaways but if they don't get them, they can be exposed pretty badly. The Bills matchup much better with the Chiefs. Regardless, they've been a fun team to watch this year, more so than usual and Josh Allen has had a phenomenal season, even if the stats aren't as eye watering as he's had in past years. 5th straight season accounting for 40 or more touchdowns. No one else has ever done it. He's had the most touchdowns throughout the first 7 years of a career in NFL history. He surpassed Mahomes in that metric this year.
You nailed this perfect!
Top tier analysis… this was fantastic.
When these Bills are clicking, they are just about unstoppable.
Thanks for the Bills coverage, this was a great watch! Love your vids
Fantastic video fam. Please do a video on the Tampa Bay Bucs offense and what Liam Coen is doing out there.
This channel is outstanding!
This reminds me of so many Tom Brady motions before the snap. People complain about the 5ish yard throws but the YAC they got is like many of the plays you've shown. And I say who cares how you win as long as you win.
On some of the passing routes the receivers are close enough to become an offload receiver for a tackled ball carrier. Rugby tactics
Shakir is one of the most underrated WRs in the league, and the things he's doing in this footage just highlight that
Joe Brady is an offensive genius, it’s crazy that a run heavy offense and getting rid of his best WR has helped Josh Allen achieve a new level of play at QB, this offense has helped him to win his first MVP (we all know he’s winning it, we’ve known for weeks)
Weak division and schedule. They got Coop cuz 9/30 and 35-10. Chill
He should be, but I don’t think he will be.
@@realjcoop182how is their schedule weak when they played like 10 games against last years playoff teams. The schedule is made before the year, they also literally beat the two one seeds this year convincingly
Damn, Joe Brady is amazing with concepts and route development. Great film
"rag tag receiving core" is not wrong.
Except when you look closer, they are quietly NICE.
Cooper, Coleman, shakir, with hollins and samuel your 4/5.
Knox and Kincaid at TE.
All 3 RBs can catch out of the back field.
With no single 1 standing out, it's easy to forget how deep they really are.
Great voice on this video. GO BILLS!
It's not the dirty bunch it's the brady bunch. Great breakdown. I prefer this lad to Ben Johnson. He does more with less. Outside Allen being more talented than Goff
Throw in Allen's accuracy and technically a few illegal pick plays it is extremely impressive.
Awesome video. Great job!
I'm a Ravens fan, and one thing that has me worried about this divisional game is the inexperience of Zach Orr as a D playcaller against a diabolical magician like Joe Brady on O. Could be the decisive schematic matchup!
"I would be scared for any team that has to play them in Buffalo."
Me, a Broncos fan: I'm just happy to be here 🙂
No fly zone gonna shut that goofy shit down. Bo Nix just gotta play in the cold and make it happen
You need to do an analysis of how Baltimore dismantled this. I don’t have the all 22 so I couldn’t watch it. But they neutralized the pic like action Buffalo got from these formations, releases, and route combinations very effectively
shakir was out
Luther Burden playing Shakir's role would make him an all-timer lmao.
Great report.
Go BILLS!!!!!
Josh Allen MVP
Lololol nah. Lamar Jackson was Prime Rodgers and Vick this year. Sorry. The kicker lost them 3 games but it's MV3 era
Well done! Excellent voice and explanation!
Great video!
I was thinking about something very similar the other day with motioning into trips. especially when you consider motioning tight ends and half backs into trips
Great vid.
Go Bills!
The receivers are certainly not big name guys but they do really well after the catch and Brady's schemes seem to take advantage of this. The big change I perceive is that they are throwing a lot of short passes to guys on the run allowing the receivers to break free. That and the RB combination of Cook, Johnson and Davis have been great/.
I hope they make it to the bowl before I expire
Awesome explanation of schemes
Its almost like their runnin the no huddle wuth a huddle ? Jim Kellys Guys used to line so fast and wonky defenses had no time to adjust coverage and it was beautiful then and its a beautifully fluid dance a jig today 😄 GOBILLS !!💙❤️🏈💪💯
7:02 Look at how amari at the bottom dusts his receiver.
it's like people don't remember how well JA actually performs in the playoffs.
insert "he cant win big games" idiots here... just look at HIS stats. dude is ridiculous in the playoffs.
It's almost like the bills have 13 wins. Go bills
Tua hurt and two bum teams in your division can help. Playing the best teams when they're hurt was destiny and lucky.
Bro you break it down so well. Keep it up dog
Good breakdown
Allen has been sacked 13 times this year. That shows how great this line is. Connor McGovern should be a pro bowl starter but I wont get into that. But it also shows Josh's incredible athleticism in his ability to escape pass rushers regularly. 4 more wins to go. One week at a time.
If I see this I will be referring to it as the Brady Bunch
The Josh Allen era is now.
Keep waiting
hi: this should not surprise you the least. Jim Kelly was run and shooting even back in 90's. Run and Shoot is the same as this type of formation: you do no huddle and you run confusion and hit weak spots where the defense cannot cover. This is no surprise that Bill are still good at finding the holes.
This and Run and Shoot KGun are entirely different tactics
Both great, but they don't share a lot of similarities apart from shotgun
@@ThinkingFootball run and shoot was good. Jim Kelly should have a spot in our hearts due to our love for him. Josh is also good, and his offense is good. Both are good. Bills are blessed.
ik you are tired of me saying things about the steelers, but man joe makes it look so easy. why don't other coordinators go this deep into the playbook. Arthur Smith is one of the most boneheaded OC's ive seen. There's no way you can sit here as an OC and not get jealous.
He’s just not creative
Creativity helps when you have one of the most dynamic QBs who can effortlessly throw rockets from within 50 yards without having their foot set while on the move and has the athleticism/size to run through DBs on scrambles/designed runs. Also helps the interior of the O-line is pretty buff so despite the video being about the Bills pass game in these condensed looks, they are actually a pretty good run team to begin with. Since they bunch the defense up and use speed/misdirection to have Cook or Allen run the ball for good yardage.
The Steelers don't have as much talent on offense and thus are really limited with what they can consistently do. Sure they have TEs that can work as moving linemen but they don't have the interior O-line for run blocking along with the explosive and efficient RBs to punish defenses playing 2 safety looks.
@@t4d0W 49ers and dolphins make it work…
@yimigocrazy2431 yea only both are home for the playoffs...the Bills have way more talent, especially QB
@@advancedhoodcleaningsoluti9353 wrong. They have more talent on offense they just don’t have Josh Allen
Ken Dorsey should watch this.
Can you explain how the Lions depleted Defense stopped the Vikings this past Sunday?
This reads as a well deserved love letter to the 2024 Bills.
The 49ers under Kyle Shanahan have been doing this for years.
I wonder how this offense would fare against Brian Flores almost nonstop pressure
And my Broncos have to go into Buffalo and play this team. I’m scared.
Missed Brady bunch reference
ive waited years for this…
Football IQ man. Being fast and strong is cool and all. But will you be in the right position when needed? Thats why alot of defenders get smoked🤷♂️🤷♂️
They’re gonna throw a td to Alec Anderson this week
fascinating
Receivers should not be this wide open in the NFL. Crazy scheme
I hope Sean Payton watches your video so they ( the Broncos)can plan around thier formations and study them
Trust me, If a yt channel has worked it out, NFL coaches are far ahead of us
Hope the bills win it all. Not likely, but the fans deserve a super bowl 1 time
Respect dawg 🫡
The throw at 12:03 was absolutely disgusting
Does anyone know where to find film like this?
NFL Pro
Can you make a video about why the steelers offense is putrid ?
You have to play either Russ or Fields, there's your answer
@ 😂😂😂 its going to be a long game man. Who you got?
I've got Ravens - although if anyone can pull an upset, it's the steelers
Hopefully they can shut the Chiefs up in the AFCCG
Except chiefs have a defense that can take the ball away, Allen has to play a clean game
@@BiggoSuave he always does. I hope the Bills defense doesn’t get completely ran through again lol
Hopefully the NFL doesn't ban pre-snap motions
that would be horrible for the league
Never happening
Brady bunches
14:44 😂
I disagree...Bills WR's do NOT get wide open. JA17 simply throws the ball accurately into the tightest windows imaginable. It seems the tighter the window, the better Josh feeds that ball in. No other QB can do what Allen does.
Yes, you're about Allen but they are clearly getting wide open. These route concepts and motions are amazing
You tried paying attention to like the 5 minute mark??
Buffalo is NOT "Upstate NY". We hate that. We view "Upstate NY" as being places like Syracuse and Albany, which is actually "Central NY" according to the folks out there. I guess nobody likes that tag of "Upstate NY". Idk why. But, it's true. I instinctively hate it too.
Buffalo is "Western NY".
Do you live upstate from the Jets?
Then you are upstate
@ThinkingFootball That's not even NY, boss
@ThinkingFootball So, are we "Out of state NJ" now?
I'll take it. It's still way better than "Upstate NY".
@ well then you definitely upstate from them - because you're a whole state above
@@ThinkingFootball I actually live right down the street from the Bills stadium. I can see the tops of the cranes where the new stadium is being built from my house. I can also see Canada from my bedroom window.
Anyway, I'm not even a Bills fan. I'm a lifelong Bengals fan because I'm originally from an hour south of Cincy. And you know that I'm a real fan because in the first decade of my life, my Bungles were statistically THE worst team in the NFL. They didn't even make the playoffs til I was 15 and they didn't get a single playoff win til I was in my 30s.
But you know, I don't hate the Bills. I never have done. My grandmother used to work at the dry cleaners that did the all the Bills' laundry, and I mean the actual organization, not just the individual players'. Lots of times, I would be there and players like Bruce Smith, Thurman Thomas, Phil Hansen, and on and on, would come in and do their personal stuff. So, I have a connection to the team, I suppose.
bottom of the screen 7:00
Absolutely roasted him
Toasted him but I dont think that meant to be a read unfortunately. Allen never checked it
Definitely not the first read
The dirty bunch
Buffalo isn't "upstate."
I think the Bills will win it all after what they did to KC and Detroit.
need that lamar film asap
Vick combined with prime Rodgers 👀
So, basically, you overload one or two defenders with too many assignments and have one of your receivers break in an unexpected way. Sounds like a great way to deal with most zone-based defenses.
GoBills
Looks great, but then the important question. If Brady is so good, then why are the Bills near the bottom in wr separation? Why then are so many plays too off script with Allen chased out of the pocket and scrambling, making passes to tight windows and buying time.
If they beat the chiefs, so be it. Well deserved. With that being said, The Kingdom is going 3 peat!!!
Should be a fun game if it happens. I think the Bills finally have the players and smarts to compete with the Chiefs. I wouldn’t be that confident if I was a Chiefs fan. So many of their games are toss ups. It does help to have a great defense and the best tight end ever. But why wouldn’t you be confident? Everything works out for the Chiefs lately. What’s one more playoff run.
@@Ray-dl5mp lmao I still don't trust McDermott and the Bills talent defense to deal with Mahomes if he chooses to give him the ball back with under a minute left in the 4th to keep a lead. Which is why the only option the Bills have against the Chiefs in the playoffs this year is to replicate the game where they limit possessions and go absolute ball control style once they sit on a lead.
Why didn’t you show the ravens game? Just curious any reason?
About 3 minutes in you say "the boys Upstate". Please PLEASE never refer to Buffalo as "Upstate". I know NYC likes to think that everywhere in NY that's not NYC is "Upstate" but that's has never been true. "Upstate NY" is where the Adirondack mountains are. Buffalo, Rochester, and Syracuse are not "Upstate NY". Buffalo in particular is "Western NY".j
Do you have to drive north from New (jersey) York?
Then you are upstaye
@@ThinkingFootball That's exactly what i'm talking about. Adirondack mountains are northern part of the state. Buffalo is the western part of the state. Our entire identity is that we're not "Upstate" and we never were and we hate being called that by people from NYC. Also, I had no idea people from NJ were getting it wrong. It sucks that they're wrong too.
Your upstate ny get over it
@@Darie2006 Too many people have been saying it wrong for far too long. It's time someone starts getting it right. Western NY is not "upstate", and never was.
Quad bunch formations aren't unique to the Bills. They just have Josh Allen and Dawson Knox
Bills offense has been high octane since 2020. Allen was responsible for 6 TD's vs. the Rams a few weeks back but they still lost the game. They allowed 42 points VS Detroit as well. If Allen puts the Bills up 100 points, you can be rest assured the Defense will lose the game final score 110-100.
"rag tag" WR core?!? Talent all across the field and that includes the backfield. This a deep team with a super star at QB. Easy schedule and division and Allen not playing hero ball till it's time to be a FB. Less Arm punts this year but that one vs the Pats is his default setting.
Easy schedule? Bills beat two 15-win teams for the first time in NFL history.
