BADOLBILZ

I don't see it AT ALL. He's just a solid amateur football coach who recruits well and now he's at a top 10 destination for recruits. And additionally he could demand his contract be torn up and turned into a new 10 year $120M if he reaches the playoff..........and Florida State would do it. At the NFL level he'd have less appeal than a number of current OC's............and none of them is getting anywhere near that money/security. Just a complete non-fit in pro football.

Different era. More violence, more fumbles. Bigger discrepancy between good, middling and bad teams. Always been an important stat but with talent spread more evenly around the league by ever enhanced parity measures, now turnovers make a bigger difference. For reference that Rams/Steelers SB after the 1979 season featured the two teams that turned the ball over THE MOST that season.

You understand that insurance companies are dealing with MILLIONS of individuals and potential outcomes, right? There are like a dozen or less notably valuable veteran contracts on most NFL teams........so the field isn't large enough to provide decisive results. Teams can afford to analyze each individual contract situation very closely. Also, no every player doesn't sleep in a team supplied hyperbaric chamber.

72 grade per PFF 5th highest on the defense..........which is notable for him he's been a tick late all season.

Probably the best game of his career, tbh. He clearly got the message that the intent was to replace him with Douglas..........which would have really put a crimp in his plans to score in unrestricted free agency. Fortunately for Dane, Benford further injured his hamstring(as foreshadowed this week by Shill Capaccio).........so Dane will likely remain in the starting lineup and Rasul will probably move into Benford's role as the press corner.

My track record when against the community is stellar. Sadly, the largest % of the active posting community are people who say they don't watch the rest of the NFL much........but are on the edge of their seat at the trade deadline to see if one of the 50 or so opposing players that they've heard of gets traded to the Bills...........and then complain that they've never heard of Rasul Douglas. Those kinda' people blame the OC whenever anything doesn't work offensively..........then it turns TSW into an echo chamber when struggles persist.........regardless of the real, and usually much more nuanced reasons why.

Well when you run the spread you turn into dink and dunk by nature.........so as they lean more into spread and uptempo don't expect to see longer routes from Kincaid.

You had it at 1. The rest is irrelevant with regard to Sharty..........because of 1.

You can't attach the letters "WR" to anyone who is averaging just 8 yards per catch. Nobody who lines up near the LOS should be averaging that pathetically low of a ypc. Kincaid is the second target but he ain't a WR2 at this point. And why isn't Josh astute enough to intervene with regard to things that don't work? He is the most powerful person in the organization, he handpicked Dorsey and needs to be more accountable for the results.

Receiving talent. People VASTLY overrate the import of the OC. Aaron Rodgers won 2 MVP's with Nate Hackett as his OC. Even the most famous offensive minds of the day.......Reid and Shanahan........have proven to be greatly limited by the QB and/or receiving talent during their careers.

If they can find a better HC, specifically and offensive mind who can push Josh Allen to be more invested.

Yep Josh may soon be crossing the intersection of "f*ck around all offseason.........and find out what it's like to have to learn an entirely new offense". Great QB's make bad OC's look good all the time. Hopefully a change would be a wake-up call to QB1. Dorsey was his hand picked choice because he didn't want to have to learn a new offense. My guess, based on McD's fascination with outside zone run games, is McDermott would have hired a Shanahan disciple to replace Daboll if it weren't for Josh's input.

It won't be with Kincaid averaging RB-like yards per reception. The Bills 2020 offense fell off for two reasons..........John Brown went from a 1B type WR to washed up overnight due to injury/age(and Sanders didn't provide the same dynamic element).........and because Beasley's yards per catch fell below 10. Kincaid is averaging 8 yards per catch. That's awful. Fortunately he catches almost everything (except when over-hyped Josh hit him with that laser on his first target last night).

You guess? 🙄

Well I suppose leading the league in turnovers since 2018 is a start.......but it's more often what he doesn't do.........and we just write it off because he's our guy. 6 years in the league and on his second OC and they still can't execute a screen play. Never draws opponents Offside with cadence. These aren't the primary problems but they should illustrate the degree of lack of attention to detail in his game. Which shows up more notably in his shaky field vision and pre-snap reads, poor decisions in setting protection and directing run plays etc.. He doesn't have the grasp he should for the 6th year in the system. When you have to admit that he has to operate an up-tempo no-huddle ultra-simplified gameplan to be effective you know the QB just isn't playing smart football.

Most talented QB in the game.........not the most prepared. His natural accuracy on deep balls used to be bad..........he worked on it in the offseason after 2020 and and got much better. He finished 2021 dropping dimes in the bucket to Gabe Davis and has since chosen rest over training the past two offseason and he's regressed in that regard. Hopefully he's just still in "spring training" arm mode and will find his touch as the season goes on but as @GunnerBill noted he is not making good pass type/trajectory decisions and when he IS putting air under the ball it's not ending up where it should for an elite QB in his prime.

Because the combination of Josh + his weapons AREN'T great. That's the point. Allen is as physically talented as they come but he has made it clear he's not going to live football like some Tom Brady type. Shame on McBeane for not accepting this and not putting better weapons around him. They aren't going to change him.........he is what he is and he may never decide to be THAT level of invested. It's sorta' like the Dorsey complaint..........."why doesn't Dorsey just run no-huddle all game if that's what Josh and company can do/"...........well, first he has to accept that is all that Allen and his "weapons" can do. Clearly he hasn't gotten there yet. Shame on him but shame on Beane for not getting more receiving talent and shame on Josh for not putting in more/better work in the offseason to be prepared himself. Like most problems in football it's not just one thing or another.

What makes you think he WAS prepared? Great veteran QB's make even dumb play callers look good. Allen should be there by now........but he's clearly not so we are left calling for the team to run no-huddle so he doesn't have to think so much. I've largely accepted his shortcomings and have been pounding the table for more weapons for him for years now..........I could write a novel on my feelings about where he is versus where he should be in the mental aspects of the game. People can't really see the forest for the trees when it comes to Josh. We've come to eliminate some of his foibles from consideration.........like not being able to execute a simple screen pass 6 years in. At some point in this new-CBA world the franchise QB needs to take it upon himself to see to it that basic execution is not an issue before the season even starts.

Well Josh McDaniels is available if you want the guy who made Tom Brady great and won a bunch of SB's as OC. Sarcasm off. Zac Taylor is a get-you-the-first-overall- pick level bad coach without Burrow. He proved that. Even the "great" Andy Reid had offense's that struggled with QB's and receivers who weren't good enough. One year he went a whole season without his QB throwing a TD pass to an actual WR. Kyle Shanahan can make a middling QB with excellent weapons look good...........until they get behind on the scoreboard..........then he is like 0-38 when trailing by 8 or more in the 4th quarter or something absurd like that. Aaron Rodgers won a SB with Mike McCarthy as his OC. The list goes on. QB's and weapons almost always make the offensive mind look great...........not the other way around.

Yeah Allen can't run a crisp 2 minute offense even though he's in his 6th year in the same system. So many mistakes and lack of situational awareness on offense. It's a problem.

Dorsey just keeps over-estimating the unprepared-Josh. Allen needs to run no-huddle to succeed because he isn't seeing the field well and making good decisions. You and I know the weapons aren't good enough to expect domination but Allen played like a guy who had 2 days to prepare for a random opponent when he's playing the team that embarrassed him in the playoffs last year. Best reason to fire Ken Dorsey is to force Allen to learn a new playbook and get his head back into the X's and O's.

The better prepared QB with the better weapons won. Simple as that. Burrow would tie Lou Anarumo in knots with his ability to read a defense and find it's weakness..........but Allen can only move the ball on Anarumo if he runs no huddle and Anarumo can't substitute. That is an indictment. Some want to lay the blame on Dorsey........but Allen should have a much better grasp of this offense in his 6th damn year in it. He needs to be a lot better decision maker. I'm not in the fire Dorsey crowd but a new playbook might be necessary to force Josh Allen to focus on the X's and O's again.

Not surprising from the Jets at all. They also reportedly asked the Bucs about Mike Evans in the summer. The Jets will DEFINITELY add another WR1 quality option opposite Wilson for next season because if you don't have 2 stud WR targets you are fighting an uphill battle against so many teams that have 2 or more. But there seems to be this idea that the Raiders would have traded Adams if they had already dumped McDaniels/Ziegler..........and I still doubt it. Davis is now eating $85M in THOSE coaches PLUS what is left of the settlement of the Jon Gruden $100M contract and he would be eating more huge dead money dumping Adams. Davis is a notoriously cash poor owner. You are dead in the water without a WR1 in the NFL nowadays so it makes a lot of sense to hold onto Adams and not paint yourself into a corner on draft day or pay big guarantees to replace him.

So Tampa Bay Rays fans think they are the best when they are in first place and still drawing like a Triple A team? The Chargers? The Rams? GTFOH. Just SO wrong. Plenty of fan bases know they aren't anywhere near the most fervent.

You are wrong about this and wrong about the idea that all fan bases think they are the best. As a Miami Hurricanes fan(family school) I can assure you our fans aren't the best and it's generally accepted as fact by the fan base. But back to the point......not all fan bases have a term to describe their futility. When I coined "Billsy" here on TSW it wasn't because of any other fan base that had a similar reference..........it just fit. It doesn't have a specific definition and doesn't need to. It represented the tendency to do the wrong thing during a very long period of mediocrity.
