All_Pro_Bills

After reading all the comments here and listening to the WGR morning show today where they discussed Josh and took some listener comments, I kind of feel like we're experiencing a football version of Talladega Nights. Ricky Bobby, NASCAR driver, through a series of unique circumstances is transitioned from top professional driver to pizza delivery guy. In the case of the Bills, Josh Allen, highly effective and intense gunslinger QB running one of the league highest scoring and exciting offenses is transitioned by the HQ's timid ball control strategy into a boring and disinterested game manager. Josh needs the football version of the speech the character Susan (played by Amy Adams) gave Ricky near the end of the movie. Ricky needs to drive fast on the edge. Josh needs to play QB fast on the edge. Enough of this milking the clock stuff. If you're going down, the go down swinging, not covering up and cowering in the corner pissing your pants afraid to make a mistake. Part of the problem is the HC is under a delusion that if he plays ball control offense he can protect his defense. But let's face the reality that if this defense is facing a QB that has a pulse and is still breathing and he gets the ball with a couple time outs and a few minutes on the clock you're defense isn't going to stop them anyway. With 2 minutes left and the opponent with the ball the Bills need at least a 9 point lead.

There's a lot distance between being an isolationist on one extreme and avoiding involvement in everything and being a globalist on the other other extreme and getting involved in everything. My thinking is the most reasonable approach is to pick and choose when to defer involvement and when to engage based on our strategic interests. I expect that's where most people differ. Defining what our strategic interests are and are not.

First tell me what that means?

I see you're point. But for the purpose of future crowd control in skirmishes between ultra right Orthodox Jews and Islamic radicals my approach might be useful. I could also offer up a few "sponges" among my extended family to help with the sponge bomb.

Run Hogs and Pigs through the tunnels and the streets along with through the enemy lines as I understand the Muslim faith has an aversion to those creatures. Those wild Hogs running around parts of the US would be most effective. They big and quite nasty characters.

Micro-Penis? That's got to be frustrating for everyone involved!

Because some virtue signalling asset among Biden's handlers shot him up full of drugs and wheeled him out to do the interview. Seriously, it's doubtful he even knows where he is most of the time. I can only imagine that UFC will soon announce a new Chicks with a Dick class of fights.

If Josh comes out with the 100 mile stare and starts with a couple 3 and out drives then put his ass on the bench for the rest of the quarter to get his attention. That might get his full focus on the game and not this Jedi Mind Trick stuff. Nothing should be taken for granted and if you're not producing you're not playing. Same as applies to every teammate.

Agree but there's a requirement to demonstrate progress and can anyone honestly say there's been any measurable improvement in Sean's performance over time? Bad decisions, game and clock management issues, a host of blunders and one of a kind heartbreaking losses? A team thst looks and plays lost and lifeless? The problem with patience taken to the extreme is we'll likely all be dead before this staff finds the answer.

No disagreement on Kincaid, And I liked the Torrence pick in the 2nd. But the WR2 is a weak spot and desperately needs an upgrade. Add in Diggs is over 30 and on the back 9 of his career and it becomes critical. Marvin Harrison Jr would look great in a Bills uniform but I dream.

The front office isn't doing Josh any favors either. Kincaid is a great add, but the other receivers brought in aren't an upgrade. Watching MNF last night I'm left wondering and somewhat depressed how the Vikings (and some other teams) come up with so many great receivers, adding this kid Jordan Addison through the draft this year which all make slightly above average Kirk Cousins look the part of a franchise QB. I'm left to imagine just how good the Bills offense would look with a couple of these receivers.

Josh takes way more big hits while in the pocket because of inadequate offensive line play and the occasional hero-ball play than he does when running the ball. The problem isn't the running, its not being smart about taking unnecessary hits. Get out of bounds and slide to avoid big impacts. Fixing that is a no-brainer. Fixing the blocking is another story.

On Sunday when the offense took the field my wife made a real-time comment and said the camera close-ups of Allen showed a look in his eyes that indicated Josh is not mentally focused on the game. Then he threw the INT on the first play.

You're equating an assessment of intelligence with the expression of admiration. Which is incorrect and illogical. For example, I think you're smart but that doesn't necessarily mean I like you.

I'm not going to worry because reality is what reality is and this team just isn't playing good ball now. But to make the playoffs a team will need 10, possibly 11 wins. Looking at the rest of the schedule except for the home games against Denver and New England which gets them to 6, where are the other 4 or 5 wins coming from which are needed to get a wildcard spot in the playoffs? They play the way they've been playing you can count Bengals, Eagles, Chiefs, Cowboys, and Dolphins as losses. That's 3 + 5 losses and at best a 9-8 record. Not good enough. 10/26 BUCCANEERS 11/05 @ Bengals 11/13 BRONCOS 11/19 JETS 11/26 @ Eagles 12/10 @ Chiefs 12/17 COWBOYS 12/23 @ Chargers 12/31 PATRIOTS 01/07 @ Dolphins

Terrorists? Now you're comparing J6 protesters to Hamas? You might want to consider the possibility you're mentally challenged.

Too much thinking. These players seem to excell when the pace is fast. The identity the group was developing isn't slow, milk the clock. Ball control is disturbing the entirre space-time continuum of this offense. Go hurry up or no huddle all game. In the 4th 2 weeks in a row that's gotten the offense moving and scoring. Start the game with it not after going down two scores. Be aggressive and McDermott needs to stop playing scared and timid.

They have no situational game plan, play calls, and consistently fail to identify an effective play or call to take advantage of the defense. An example might be that some teams play a wide nine that puts pressure on the OTs but leaves a gap between the DTs and DEs. A LB might normally assume responsibility for that gap. But a draw between the OG and OT gap where the LB vacated to drop into pass coverage can be exploited. Once you run a successful draw a few times the LBs will delay their drop into coverage and as a result leave some big gaps in coverage that Allen can exploit In the pass game. How much of that do the Bills do when playing the Jets or a wide nine scheme? They'll run between the center guard gap which consistently get stuffed. And the LBs drop without concern for the draw.

It seems like a bad marriage and maybe I lack an understanding of the nuances of this offense but I don't see much variation in Dorsey's game plan and play calls or Allen's decisions and receiver targets from opponent to opponent based on exploiting the opponents weaknesses and avoiding their strengths. I expect the game plan for Tampa will be almost exactly what it was against NE. It's way too easy on the other teams defense.

I just get the feeling we just witnessed the beginning of the end of the McDermott era yesterday. He certainly gets credit for his work and effort in turning around the franchise but he's taken them as far as he can. I look at the schedule and can't bring myself to believe they're getting to 10 or 11 wins playing like they are the past 3 weeks. Blame injuries but all teams have them. Game and time management are just bad and expecting improvement at this point is a fantasy. Whatever Sean and his staff are selling to the players they just don't look like they're buying into it anymore. Past failures might have them thinking its going end more or less the same. I think they're right. I'll throw in Dorsey for good measure. He's just not up to the task. But the players don't seem up to it either. All is not lost. Although they're going to have some cap issues we still have a franchise QB and a core of sold players. But its time for a fresh message and new leadership on the sidelines. The good thing is this looks like a one season reload than a multi-year rebuild effort.

It's not so much the focus on defense as it is the lack of young impact players. Teams like the Chiefs and Ravens always seem to find good talent at the back of the draft rounds so the excuse of drafting in the high 20's isn't credible. Does the Bills draft board differ so much from these other teams? If so, how long does it take to figure out you have it mostly wrong?

Standard excuse. We have to execute better. And follow the process. News flash: The process is broken.

My bet is Miami doesn't get to 28+ points in Philly tonight and expects Hurts will outplay Tua

Looks to me like when they go hurry up in crunch time Allen is at his best and the offense is very effective. Throw Dorsey's play sheet and game plan out the window and go full street ball on the defense. Less thinking, more results. Whatever plan the OC is trying to do early, the last 3 games say throw it in the trash.

The entire secondary needs to be replaced. The Safeties are slow and old and the Corners can't cover and never play the ball. The offense sleeps through the first half in three straight clunkers.
