  1. Not sure this is correct. Perspective changes when you root for a good team. I'm sure there were some Patriots fans during their extended heyday who thought the league wasn't as good as it used to be when they sucked. The team we watch has set a higher standard that other teams are not able to reach so it seems like they suck. In reality it's the Bills who are just that good right now.

  2. He does make some throws sometimes that just leave you speechless. The one to Diggs at the end of the Lions game last year and the TD pass to Kumerow in Denver a couple of years ago are two that immediately spring to mind. Incredible power mixed with a perectly finessed release. Guy is a rare talent.

    Last night Allen had one of his worst games in a long time.  So this is NOT to shift any responsibility of that from him to anyone else, Allen gets to own that performance, no excuses.  There were times where he was looking good and then all of a sudden this terrible decision happens to undo it all and give the ball away, he just can't do that.

     

    However, I came away just as concerned with Dorsey and his play calling and use of personnel that I was last year.  Just to name a few:

    • We go out and sign Harris and Murray then still call draws up the middle by our QB and small sized RB?  
    • Where were all the 2 TE sets to put pressure on the weaker part of the Jets D?  
    • Why are all our WRs running 15 yard deep routes on 3rd and short with only a RB underneath?  
    • Where are the screens to guys like Cook, Harty, Diggs?  
    • Why are we running on 2nd and 15 when we have the number offense over the past 3 years on picking up down and long plays via pass?  
    • Where was the quick strike stuff we opened the game with Diggs on Sauce for the first play and completion?  
    • Why are we still trying to force a run game from unconventional formations that didn't work in the past?  

     

    I am not going to blame Dorsey for Allens poor decisions, those were all on Allen.  But, at the same time, I have not felt like Allen has played as free or instinctively under Dorsey as he did under Daboll.  I think about Mahomes in KC, when you watch the show Quarterback you just get some insight on just how involved Mahomes and the other players are in helping shape the offense and that its completely catered around everything Mahomes does best.  And more importantly, they give Mahomes a ton of options short and underneath with easy throws for RAC which is why he leads the NFL in most yards gained every year on throws near or behind the LOS and he leads by a mile.  

     

    Since Dorsey got here, it feels more like trying to change Allen's instincts and thought process to be something different rather than leaning into what he does best like Daboll did.  I have long been concerned about risking Allen and Diggs prime on an unproven first time OC.  Last year I thought Dorsey was pretty bad in many facets of his job, especially in play calling inside the redzone and his use of personnel.  Week 1, nothing that happened changed those concerns.  Everything I was frustrated about last year in how this offense was run still all seemed present to me.  

     

    Allen needs to be better with the football and stop trying to score on every play, there is no doubt about that.  But I also think our OC isn't doing him any favors either.  There is no way this team can take a step forward if Dorsey doesn't evolve positively from last year.  Week 1 felt like not much had changed, hope that doesn't continue.

    This is such a lazy opinion. There were guys wide open short of the sticks on almost every play. Allen chose not to take the easy yards. This loss is 100% on him. That 2nd and 15 play aside, the playcalling was not the issue. Dorsey isn't Andy Reid or Mike McDaniel, but he's a pretty good play designer.

     

    Facts do your opinion no good, but the Dorsey led offense has not taken a step back statistically. And this is with a weaker o-line and receiver group.

    Brittany broke him.  Some guys need a strong woman to check them, get them revved up, allow the alpha to let their guard down.  He lost all of that and she took his dog.  He has looked like horse dung since then.  He is a hyper-emotional man, and since he lost her steadying hand he has stunk.  Running around getting your D wet all off-season isn’t the same as a solid woman having your back.

    I know it's early, but I'm pretty confident in this being the post of the year.

     

    Not sure if this was a joke, but thanks for the laugh 🤣

  5. Been saying it since the first KC playoff loss when he kept kicking field goals. McDermott is a dinosaur in the coaching world. On top of that, he has zero presence and is afraid of his own shadow. They should have gotten rid of him and promoted Daboll at the very least. Failing that, booting him this off season and hiring Ben Johnson would have been a big upgrade. And yes, the Bills are never winning it all with that feeble coward on the sidelines.

    As Chris Simms has repeatedly said (and I agree with him), o-line players across the board are getting more non-calls going their way these days because today’s defensive linemen are SUCH better athletes than before — and better athletes by a good ways than offensive linemen on average. They’re basically changing the rules to account for this disparity without actually officially changing them. I have come to accept it because at least I know the unwritten rules now. I suggest just accepting it. The league wants to protect QBs, and this is how they do it in a context of physically overmatched offensive linemen.

    I thought this too and seems like the only explanation. As bad as NFL officiating is there's no way the refs are that incompetent to miss false starts all game so they gave him the equivalent of the "extra split second after the clock hits zero" delay of game penalty leniency.

    You know there was OT too?  So you are saying Frazier had nothing to do with 13 seconds and OT in terms of calling the defense even though he calls the defense?

    This is your response? You completely avoided the question and general point.

     

    I'll help you. That loss is on the head coach. And then he, shamelessly, blamed it on execution when asked about what went wrong.
