The Wiz

No idea why this was my first thought but yea.... 😆

I want to turn this into something about him and mom's? (and the math tutor one still fits if you ask me). Milf Slayer? Bills Layer? Math tutor?

the Jets haven't scored a TD on 37 consecutive offensive drives against the chargers and the raiders. If they get 2 TDs in one game, that's just bad defense especially with a banged up Wilson and Hall still not completely back from his injury. They have 2 over the hill ex-Packers and what else?

They appear to be in this case.

This is a joke right?

I believe holding Josh back from running is definitely a part of the problem for sure. That was a collective agreement it would seem between McD, Dorsey and probably to a lesser extent, Allen. I think the thing we are all going to be looking to see is if it looks like the same offensive scheme/play calling that we have been seeing for the past 6 weeks. Simplified, dumbed down concepts with little to no creativity. By no means do I think that Brady is going to be able to change that on a short week but we might see a flash of something here or there. That's where I feel like Dorsey could be the root of the problem and not just the running. If it turns out all they had to do was let Josh run and the scheme/play calling look the same, then yes, I absolutely agree that he was "sacrificed" as a result of their own decisions.

The question is whether McD will lift that restriction or not. At this point, he'd be a fool not to so then the blame can be directed at Dorsey even more for limiting Josh even though McD was likely heavily in favor of it. The best part is, he won't even have to point at Dorsey if Josh starts playing Luke he used to. The media and fans will do it for him.

Someone did call in yesterday and pointed out since 2018, there have been 78 WR's taken in the first 3 rounds of the draft. The only two teams that haven't taken one are the Bills and the Bucs.

And the fact is, he doesn't even have to scapegoat Brady. It's as simple as saying: "it was a short week and we were trying to see what we could do to get some more energy out of the guys. Did some good things and thing they are going to keep getting better moving forward." No blame needed and can let Josh be Josh. Now if Josh ends up doing the same thing that he did in the first game, that's where the blame is going to go and rightfully so.

But that's kind of my point in saying if the offense does turn it around even with the lack of talent at WR. Brown and Beasley didn't exactly knock anyone back when they were signed but ended up having their most productive years in this same offense so something schematically changed enough that players aren't able to get open anymore except Diggs anyways. That was kind of the opinion of most people even when they were winning earlier on in the season (see every 3rd and 1 shotgun run). Kind of hard to not hold it against him (or at least someone) for taking a dual threat QB and turning him into what Josh has looked like the past 6 weeks.

It definitely wasn't a good look. Tagged billsmafia to go after someone because he specifically said "one time" when asking about why they haven't asked the coaches about Josh using his legs. Either way, no matter how many times it was asked to the coaching staff the answer would likely be a non-answer anyways. Probably the closest thing we would get would be "we want Josh to be smart out there and take care of himself" which still doesn't answer the question of whether they are telling him not to run.

Can you really call Dorsey a "sacrificial lamb" if the offense does end up turning it around because he's no longer the OC? To me that sounds more like they found "the root of the problem".

"low positive" vs "high fructose" I'd rather have "high fructose" Josh.

Well this is something that is sure to make him more likeable to fans. 😆

Well if that was the case, he wouldn't take any callers. He has a day a week set aside for doing nothing but taking calls for 2 hours from fans. Not exactly going to get the ratings up by taking no calls so he's kind of stuck with the bad ones.

I never turn the games off, but playing late on Sunday and Monday nights when I need to get my kids to school the next morning, yea I'm putting my head on the pillow while I stare blankly at the screen.

Fumbling on the first play after not fumbling since his first carry in the league. 27 games without another fumble until that point. If you want to blame that on not be prepared for the game then fine. But benching a player for a quarter and a half because of that seems a little excessive if you ask me after not having a fumbling issue until that point. Turnovers are different than drops, you're right. Gabe Davis: one drop that resulted in an INT and one fumble on the season (others would probably go after the times where Allen was picked off when he was targeted but I'm only going to blame him for when he had hands on the ball). James Cook: 1 fumble lost and 1 fumble recovered on the season.

Cook has fumbled 3 times on 254 touches. Davis is a 52% career completion success rate receiver. Help me make sense of your statement and those numbers.

But they will make damn sure to show him sitting on the sideline by himself if he throws a pick.

If you think those comments are weird you should have heard him talk on WGR right before his press conference. I really haven't had a problem with McD and some of the things he says but this was kind of a "this is my team and you need to do it my way" kind of comment and it really made me lose faith in him. He was asked about the Cook benching after the fumble and basically said that he hadn't earned his trust the same as someone that might have been with the team for a longer period of time. I'm assuming this is a direct "trust" comparison between benching Cook and not benching Davis after he had an INT go off of his hands. So a guy who fumbled twice in 27 games gets less trust than a 58% catch percentage receiver. Got it.

And conveniently enough, NFL gambling was established shortly after. As if that wasn't the reason for the implementation in 2017.

No problem. 👍 I honestly didn't expect him to say anything about his brothers X post because he doesn't even say anything about his own X or IG post. He's always cryptic in that sense and I think he likes the attention. I don't think it means anything. I don't think anything was politically wrong. He said he had no say in it so why does it matter? It was honest. It wasn't the canned "I love him. He's been great with Josh and I think he will help us out" regarding Brady. He spoke his mind but didn't throw anyone under the bus (well he kind of did but was at least nice about it). Does he have issues with the move? maybe. But... he might be happier than he has ever been because Dorsey is gone. I honestly think the stuff that happened in camp is more telling about how things were happening inside the locker room/meetings. You're right in that sense. He wasn't happy. And I think that the direction of the offense and how they were going forward was a part of it. His brother didn't need to tweet anything to show his frustration on the sideline in the playoffs last year. Something was going on that he didn't like. Was it Josh? again, could be. The way they play together and are around each other tells me otherwise. Diggs has never acted like a "fake" person. We saw that with the Vikings. He didn't think he was appreciated so he tried to get out. I don't see him doing that now. Thanks for coming to my TED Talk.

I did and he answered the questions that were asked. What didn't he say that was telling was my question?

Part of the problem is the information that is given out. Some people don't get enough and some people get too much. Don't get enough are watching ESPN/Fox/etc sports media that spin whatever they want. Too much is seeing Treyvon make a comment on twitter and his brother replies to it in a positive way toward the team and his QB but need to spin it into a negative because they aren't happy with their team right now. Like I said before, Diggs addressed all of this earlier in the season and the only thing he seems annoyed about right now, is the narrative that he doesn't want to be here or like Allen. It's pretty sad how everything needs to be a bad thing when someone says something.
