Come on, no disrespect but that isn't fair due diligence. You intentionally watched a game where he reportedly had a big one but immediately turned it off because you didn't like what happened on one play? That feels more like you were looking for confirmation bias of your skepticism than actually trying to watch the game and see what his potential might be.

No, he was and OLB drafted to be an OLB behind MIlano, they literally said this on draft night. They said he had potential at MLB as well but he wouldn’t be competing there this year. They literally said this before he ever stepped on a practice field. So no, your assumption is wrong. Many of us hoped he could be an option there when we didn’t know who would be MLB, but the front office and McD were not one of them as they said from the get go he wouldn’t be competing at MLB here this year. They didn’t want him trying to learn two positions.

What? They don’t play the same position and weren't competing against each other. So yeah this is incorrect.

I thought he did quite well for having to step in under these circumstances. I hate hate hate losing MIlano, but that being said, I’m actually excited to see what Dorian can do given the circumstances

I doubt it. Won’t rule it out, but seems unlikely, at least until they see how the D looks once the he guys who aren’t out for the season are back (Benford, Groot, Von) and mix with the guys stepping up for the ones filling in for the ones that are.

He had 3 TDs, rushing TDs count too lol. And you mean the first half where your Boy Davis and others killed 3 drives on dropped passes that would have been first downs instead of Punts? Not sure how that’s all on Allen.

Jags being there already was just a blatant advantage that you don’t need any experiments to confirm. Utter stupidity

Except I never slammed Davis. All I did was “leave him off the list” who I said played with fire the whole game. Literally that’s it lmao. Didn’t realize Davis family was in this thread and was gonna demand he get the player of the game award Such a stupid conversation

So Josh Allen who had 3 TDs and 360 yards despite 5 drops by his WRs, no run game, and the worst game of the season by the OL was a zombie???? LMAO. You up in here campaigning for Davis for the HOF today despite a weak first half and an egregious drop that killed a drive, but you’re saying Allen was a zombie? Geezus.

Devastating. Dorian I think showed promise. But no one can replace Milano’s value

Still trying to say that I said something that I didn’t. I dont really know how many more ways to tell you to stop making your own narratives about what I actually said. Maybe go start a Davis thread as that is all you’re obsessed with making this thread about even though it’s not.

No I argued that I didn’t once say what you claimed I was saying. And I defended leaving him off playing with fire from start to finish today because his first half wasn’t the same as his second half. Easily the worst game Refs of any game this season and maybe one of the worst I’ve ever seen

Good point. Oliver might actually may have started with too much fire actually with those early penalties

What are you drunk or something? I’ve not done anything here negative to Davis other than point out his drops like I did everyone else who had drops that were hurting the offense in the first half. You turned this into some Davis thread, not me. Again, stop making up narratives. Told you like 10 times I didn’t say what you keep trying make this say.

He’s a rookie…too early to assess. But also Dorsey sucks at using weapons consistently and correctly, so there’s that too

The only thing disingenuous is this absurd argument that you created a narrative that I said Davis didn’t show up. Dude learn to read posts correctly. I said the only 3 that played with any fire seemed to be Alllen, Diggs, and AJE. That doesn’t mean no one else showed up at all, but from beginning to end they had the most energy out there. Davis slept walk the early parts of this game and didn’t have the same energy as those 3 from start to finish. Again, stop making up narratives that I didn’t say. I never said Davis had a bad game, but he was not the same player on the first half as she was in the 2nd half, and he had 2 bad drops. So I’m not going to say he was wire to wire playing with the same intensity and focus as Allen, Diggs and AJE did. That doesn’t mean none of them made mistakes, I said they seemed to have more fire in them today than some of the other guys. So relax, I haven’t said anything you’re implying about your beloved Davis.

Except I didn’t say he didn’t show up. You said that. I said the only ones playing with any fire seemed to be Allen, Diggs, and AJE. You’re making your own conclusions from that as it I said Davis was a bum today, never said that. All I said was I wouldn’t put his start to finish game in the same class as Diggs today for all 4 quarters. So stop inventing new narratives I didn’t say.

He also had 5 dropped passes and a deep one wrestled away from Diggs. Allen was the only reason we still had a shot in this game. The OL stunk and so did the refs too.

Dishonest? Davis had a momentum and drive killing drop for what have been a first down. Then he did it again, except the stat sheet won’t show it because a penalty eliminated the play. So, I wouldn’t put his game in the same category as Diggs, both his drops were bad.

How was Josh off? His first 4 incompletions were 3 drops and a throw away when OL got blown up.

Plenty of other factors from injuries to horrific refs that contributed to this loss, but we had 4 drives ended by dropped passes and that’s all in our control. Would have been 5 too but a penalty negated the play. Cook, Knox, Diggs, Davis all dropped passes that killed our drives which would have been first downs, with Davis having a second drop for a first down erased off the stat sheet by a penalty. Feels like the only people who showed up to play with any fire today was Allen, Diggs and AJE. Milano and Daquan get a pass as they were hurt. But the dropped passes in a game where refs were working against us were just killers.

Glad he went there and not here like some wanted. He is a locker room and effort cancer. No thank you. We are having no issues scoring, we don’t need an under performing lazy WR with attitude issues.

Agreed, the OL playing much better. Which I think is a combo of upgrades on the line and guys being healthy along with the more efficient offense where we aren't holding the ball as long aggressively trying to push downfield as frequently.

Things are different now than before. We don't have a soft bend don't break defense anymore like we had under Frazier. Dorsey and Allen seem to be on the same page and understanding how to balance aggression and smart take what they give you football. So I think we are going to see this hold this time as along as we avoid critical injuries.

Its hard to say...one thing is clear, Josh getting the ball out faster is a big reason for it and taking quick strikes rather than looking downfield so often for deeper plays to develop. Is that Dorsey adjusting how he calls plays, where the first reads are, etc? Or is that Josh realizing how much easier the game becomes when he takes what is there because it opens everything else up more and he has higher percentage shots downfield vs always looking to force it down field first so often. Personally, I think its a combo of both Josh buying into focusing on taking what is there and Dorsey game planning to help Josh see those opportunities quicker and prioritize them. All I know is whatever the reason, its working and I expect to keep seeing lots more of it.
