Bryce scrambling is not the play design. WR not reading the defense to break their route appropriately is not how it's drawn up, that's execution. Inability to run the ball is execution. Gameplan for Milroe was fine without his turnovers.
Anyway I'm over him. Looking for some more creativity with Rees.

Yeah, I’m not blaming the Pats offense on BoB. That’s all on BB and his refusal to upgrade the offense. There are zero elite skill players on offense and the OL is horrible. What looked like a good deal for Mac has turned into a nightmare. Hope he gets out of NE un-injured.

BoB’s idea of a game plan was to choose about a dozen plays that he thought should work against a team, script the first drive from them and then randomly select them for the rest of the game. After the opponent saw the scripted drive and made adjustments for those plays, our offense went in the shitter and became an exercise in Bryce audibling and improvising in an attempt to cobble together a drive. How BoB developed a reputation as a good OC is unfathomable. His philosophy is predicated on having an NFL caliber player at every position who can beat the man in front of him. If the talent is even near equal, you’re fricked. And he never adjusted anything to account for the strengths and weaknesses of the players he had. When Milroe went in, he tried to run plays that Bryce could handle but Milroe couldn’t. It’s just puzzling how inflexible and uncreative the guy was.

Bryce scrambling for his life every play because the route trees for the WR were terrible and no one was open, abandoning the run game down inside the 10, the terrible gameplan for Milroe, and many more things fall directly at Bill’s feet.
Don’t forget about not having a play set until 3 seconds left on the play clock.

You’re right but at some point you have to realize the young WRs are not getting it and adjust. BoB never adjusted and that’s why we had so many 3 and outs.

Part of this was after his injury Bryce couldn’t really push the ball downfield and DCs knew it so they dropped 8 and sat on our routes leaving Bryce with nowhere to go with the ball.

Yes they were really bad. Horrible actually.

abandoning the run game down inside the 10
Our OL wasn’t great, our RBs undersized or still recovering from injury and our TEs didn’t block well. He didn’t trust our guys to go power and he probably wasn’t wrong against good front 7s.

the terrible gameplan for Milroe
Agree with this. Watching him run the Bryce spread passing attack was like watching a second grader take a physics test.
But it must be pointed out that you can’t implement a new offense in the middle of the season so we were kind of screwed because we didn’t have a backup QB capable of running the offense we had installed preseason.
All that aside, I think the biggest indictment was that we were being described by other coaches and players as “predictable”, “vanilla” and “uninspired”.
Compared to our offenses under Kiffin and Sark it was like watching an old school B10 offense with about 10 pages and where they could care less about surprise and would just go strength on strength. Problem was we weren’t talented enough to win those matchups with Bryce at 80% and a mediocre for our standards group of skill players.

This became very clear during Texas game when the announcers called 2 of our plays exactly right just before the snap.

Outside of the Texans, the Patriots have the worst offensive weapons in football and I don't think there's a close third ...and it got that way by doing shite like spending big on players like Jonnu Smith in free agency

BOB is as horrible.. no way around it.

BOB is terrible. He’s gone. Can we stop talking about him?

Hiring BoB was the worst decision in Saban’s 16 years at Alabama.
Usually, the offense would have Bama ahead and only need a stop or two from the defense to win it all...
I didn't like BoB, but Frodo at DC was the biggest mistake Saban had made... It was just a disaster they were both dragging us down simultaneously.
