You think we are the Eagles or Packers on D? We aren't stopping anybody. I expect Baker to find wide open guys in the soft belly of the zones. All day. Offense needs to show up this week.

So the planets basically aligned. Nice

How about we aren’t already down 7-0 because for somereason we have to kick off first every game. Instead of letting a team go on a 7 minute TD drive to start the game, let’s just take the ball first and try to get the lead. Or better yet, stop them

He was chewing on the packet of smelling salts, just like a gazillion other professional sports players can be seen doing at times.

Apparently the theory is that a clunky offense with a mediocre defense will yield a different result. I suppose it will, because if this keeps up someone is getting fired.

I don't think it's a thing, because mixed in there he had a record setting completion% game and great QBR (averaging 10.5 y/a) against a solid Kansas City defense. But against the Panthers? meh, he missed some throws but didn't really need him. Against Atlanta and Miami? terrible in the 1st halves when the game was still there for the taking. It's like the whole team including Allen didn't put in the preparation.

Seems like age and scheme fit. Not a 3 tech. Not really an edge. Seems like a poor mans Hoecht. Dont hate it if they want to keep that going. I think Sanders in the Oliver role on passing downs will be primary focus.

Ha! When I was in the Coast Guard we had a quartermaster (QM1) that guys called RM1 for rack monster because he basically slept non-stop when we were underway.

It's speculation on both of our parts but I think your theories (the previous one about Josh being a company man and now your Darnold and Burrow theories are ridiculous. You create these theories out of thin air. Probably... but as you know, everyone has a "right" to their opinions on a message board... for better or worse. @HappyDays, you're an excellent poster and certainly have excellent credibility but look, Jim Kubiak was a star quarterback in high school and in college where he was a 3 year starter. He set 22 school records at the Naval Academy. He played in the NFL for the Panthers, Colts and the Jets. He played in NFL Europe. He's coached college and in the Arena League. He runs a QB academy. He has a lot of credibility. This is a super interesting theory and is diametrically opposed to the marriage/endorsement distraction theory of him not working hard enough. There might be something to your theory. There might be something to this. To avoid any confusion, I disagree with those who say Josh is soft... he's played through numerous longterm injuries and is physically tough as nails. But you can see in his facial expressions the times that he has the eye of the tiger and the times that he doesn't. I really like this point too. I really wonder if there's anyone on the Bills (coaches or players) who can really set Josh straight and say all the right things to get him into a better headspace. I don't know if Brady and Curry can coach him hard... or cajole him when it's needed.

Will be available right after he serves a quick six week PED suspension.

You missed the false start penalty on 2nd down

Also brings a lunch pail to work

Dont cut off your nose in spite of your face. One injury and Coleman will be back in the same role. Shrink his utilization. Let him concentrate on a handful of packages and concepts. I would give him the Kincaid routes and usage while he is out immediately.

He was 3 years younger and had Diggs. He didn’t have to work as hard. With the flushed red face, he was suffering. Being a Ga boy, I’ve been there.

It's worth noting that defenses aren't stupid. They've dissected Brady's offense and know where the "easy outlets" are. As a result those reads are not as open as they were when Brady first made them a staple of the offense. Defenses are forming a wall of coverage right where they know our crappy WRs' depth is maximized and the DBs/LBs are leveraging themselves to drive on those short completions. Allen (and every QB for that matter) is reading leverage. Not just separation, leverage. If he sees a LB with their hips bent forward sitting 2 yards over a short completion he is usually going to turn down that throw unless it's 3rd and short. Allen took one of those "easy outlets" to Shakir in this game - Shakir took a shot and gained 2 yards. He took one to Coleman against Carolina and the safety sitting over top of it came down and made the easy pass breakup. If he hadn't made those passes there would be people posting freeze frames saying "why didn't he hit this wide open target?" People vastly underestimate how fast back 7 players can trigger to the ball when they're properly leveraged. We can't live in this short completions against an ultra compressed defense world. You need to punish defenses that sell out against short completions, and we just don't have the personnel or the creative scheming to do that consistently.

why go in at all? why were a bunch of morons smashing windows and doors? and milling around inside? every time with you. no common sense...just looking to place blame. i could see if this was a rare occasion for you, but it's on every single topic. j6 happened because of a number of easily manipulated d-bags felt they needed to take their government back. if they hadn't shown up to do so, or just quietly protested outside, none of this would have happened. but it did, so take the lump and just move on. once this country opens up, the epstein files are going to be a thing again. then what? how soon before you start calling it a democratic hoax even though trump himself showed us it wasn't.

If you are saying that Allen was putting smelling salts in his mouth that is the most bizarre posts I have ever seen. And yes he was putting something in his mouth shown on broadcast.

As someone who has had a broken nose, are we sure that didn't mess up his vision? He wore the visor for weeks afterwards, my own experience with a broken nose was similar to a concussion, in fact I had a "mild concussion" when I broke mine. IMO, this is possible cause, because Josh hasn't been "Same Ol' Josh" since then, and I'm just wondering if that's a thing.

Jesus, you guys were bitching when Beane was bitching about people bitching in the radio back in April and now you’re bitching about him bitching about everyone bitching about the trade deadline

Yup don't disagree with your points at all. Last season the everyone eats O was also starting to grind and that's why Beane got Cooper as a temporary fix. This is certainly not all on Josh in any way. Unfortunately it's several problems. Most of which we know. 1. Beane. I understood and supported the Diggs trade. But in trying to upgrade this position he has been completely half assed about it. Either from arrogance, ignorance or combo. When you have a Allen, this like I say borders on criminal for your responsibility as a GM. 2. Brady. It doesn't appear like he has adjusted to D adjustments over the past year or two now. His plays are predictable based on personel groupings. The commentators were basically calling the plays in advance on Sunday. Does he self scout??? You have to change it up. Also, you HAVE to try to take the top of the O several times a game. The Fins played a base D, with a single high safety and dared the Bills to go over the top. Let me repeat that: THE DOLPHINS, WITH ONE OF THE WORST SECONDARY IN THE NFL DARED JOSH ALLEN TO BEAT THEM THROUGH THE AIR. That sentence should NEVER ever be written. 3. Josh as I outlined in my original post. Last year he played within the system as needed, he let the game come to him. He isn't doing that this year. That has to be figured out or changed. He doesn't trust the system or the players anymore. That can't continue. He said himself after the game I've got to give guys a chance. Yes, he does.

Yes, only the beginning of what I want to feel forever Only the beginning, only just a start, yeah I've got to get you into my life mama Got to get you next to me, yeah Only the beginning, only just the start

You are right
