    In last weeks media sessions, Dorsey was questioned about the decision to go shotgun on 2nd and inches when the tush push....as many times as it was going to be needed, was the obvious common sense thing to do.  This week, he figured that out and used common sense in all of those situations.  

     

    Now, it's time for the media to start building up steam on the designed Allen runs.  It's a glaring omission from the offense and it is hold the team back when teams don't have to respect the fact that Allen taking off for 40 yards any at any time is no longer an option.  You can't run the same offense you have always run and take away the part that made the offense successful.  Having the media push this and getting Allen back to carrying the ball at least 5 times a game would be the best thing for this offense.  I guarantee you that if you burn a couple teams with Allen's legs again, other passing concepts will all of a sudden be much better.

    Except his shoulder is banged up. It's hurting his consistency and would only get worse if you start running him intentionally. That's the conundrum with Allen. Not running takes away his superpower, but running damages what he needs to be able to consistently do, which is make accurate throws.

    He’s too coachable. They’ve coached the fun factor out of him and made him taller Derek Carr 

    It could be that Allen's style of play just isn't sustainable over a long career. He has to run to be most effective and he keeps getting banged up with injuries that aren't enough to keep him out of games but hurt his performance.

    I’ve never said anything negative about Josh on this board, but here it goes. I agree with the McD doubters, but how does an elite QB look so bad through entire halves and quarters of multiple games? It’s happening too often, and Josh needs to be added to the list of people who need to get things right. 

    I agree Josh gets far too much of a pass on this board, but I think the shoulder is a material problem. It's affecting his accuracy and limiting his ability (or desire) to run.

    This doesn’t look like the same Bills team even from last year. Dorsey is a bum and needs to go. He’s single handedly holding this offense back. If your QB is struggling then u should make the offense easier for him. Tired of these long developing drives that go nowhere but eat time off the clock

    Dorsey isn't the only problem. Allen's shoulder is a problem for a couple of reasons. First, Josh clearly isn't as accurate as he needs to be. Second, he isn't running anyway near as much as he has done in the past. Take away Josh's running, he is an above average but not elite QB, not to mention the Bills' receiving crew as a whole is mediocre at best.

    missing 5 starters on defense.  I don't know why people don't get this still.  

    Not just starters, but 5 of the best starters. Plus Miller is active but essentially useless. It isn't surprising they couldn't get a pass rush today. Not to mention the CB situation is dire. McD has issues as a head coach, but this D is terribly undermanned due to injuries.

    I’m really curious why they picked up that flag earlier in the drive.

     

    Pats did outplay us though.

    I think they thought the pass was thrown before the center got too far downfield. Not sure if it was a good call or not but hey, the Bills got quite a few calls going their way, so it wasn't the refs' fault today.

    Josh was 11/11 at that point. God forbid someone outside of Diggs makes a great catch. This BS is making me puke form you so called fans. If Josh doesn’t put it between the numbers with just the right amount of speed at the exact moment in the space time continuem it’s a drop. And ultimately someone will say ‘bad throw’

     

    who cares players should make plays!

    Because it was a bad throw. He was not under that much pressure and he short-armed it. Just because I don't go to bed sniffing Josh's jock doesn't mean I'm a "so-called fan."

    Knox dropping that ball is all you need to know about him, IMO. The quicker he gets phased out the better.

    C'mon, what should have been an easy throw was badly underthrown. Josh is not perfect, and it was a worse throw than a bad catch.

    This. Can you think of anything creative, innovative, or just plain different that Dorsey has done since he became OC? He was given the keys to a Porsche, and he drives like a Ford Pinto. 

    This reminds me of long ago the Univ. of Arizona hired a guy named Ben Lindsey as basketball coach. He came from what was then a NAIA school. His quote was "if you can drive a Chevy you can drive a Cadillac." Well, he drove that Cadillac into the ditch, and Dorsey may be driving the Porsche into a ditch.
