     a tendency that a QB coach or OC should be able to get out of him.  But nope, not here.  Just clapp along with the HC.  


    Or at least align the offensive playing calling and scheme to Josh’s strengths.  That’s where Daboll may have been a great fit for Josh, b/c he knew how to better cover up Josh’s weaknesses.  When even Cris Collinsworth is salivating at the Bills spreading out their offense and the Bills offense is moving effectively, that should be a sign of the direction their offense needs to go with Josh.  You start a drive with a couple QB designed runs, it’s almost like it calms Josh down and it puts the opposing defense on notice.

    This video right here shows me that Josh is sticking with one play and going with it. Davis was wide open for a huge gain. Maybe JA has lost all faith in Gabe and doesn't even look his way anymore. Idk 🤷‍♂️ 

     

    And why is Deonte Harty even on this team?? Him and Sherfield. Nice moves Beane.

     

     


    That’s been a knock on Josh since coming out of college.  He’s definitely been more effective in his career when he doesn’t do this, but it’s a tendency of his that hurts the offense’s effectiveness.

    Not enough production out of a former 1st round pick who is in his 3rd season and up this point in his career has been a disappointment. With Von Miller coming off a torn ACL, You’d expect a  guy like Rousseau to elevate his game and he hasn’t up to this point. They need more production out of him and nobody is talking about it. 


    A Groot complaint thread was already started yesterday:

    The kid was screwed by this organization.  They should have put him on non injury leave and paid him until this played out.

     

     

     

    Kid was screwed by at least half this board and public opinion, versus letting all of the facts play out.  If people don’t recall, Beane’s hand was essentially forced, some here saying he took too long to act.

    Okay, so we had another low-impact performance from Gabe.

     

    In fact, I would now begin to question whether he is even a number 3 on this offence. 

     

    I would also question whether you even make a lowball offer. 

     

    Is there anyone out there who thinks he improves dramatically with a better OC? Because that is the only scenario I can see where he is a Bill next season.


    Was Davis injured on the last TD drive?  It looked like Sherfield was out on the field, and I was pretty sure it was in place of Davis.  Or is it possible Sherfield’s going to start taking snaps from Davis?

  6. There’s one guy only that Gronk said could talk him out of retirement, and that is Brian Daboll.  He dodged a question of playing for McD, even though his eyes lit up about playing for his “hometown team”.  Not saying we get Daboll to sign Gronk specifically, but does that say anything about Daboll v McD?

    Anyway, thought this was interesting, given where the team currently stands this season and the questions surrounding the coaching staff.

    No talk of Poyer and Hyde? They’ll only be a year older and slower next years.


    Hyde’s contract will be up, so I presume this is it for him here.  Wouldn’t surprise me if Benford is the eventual FS for this team.  Poyer will have a year left on his deal, but he’s been a step slower each passing year.  Haven’t seen anyone else on this team yet that I’d like taking on the SS role.

    One will be replaced by Rapp, the other by a Day 1 or 2 pick. 


    Not sure if I want them to re-sign Rapp.  Feel like I see him whiffing at a lot of tackles.

  8. I would venture to say an older more frail  person is more prone to future injuries than a younger person in mint condition.  With that said, as I got older, I rolled my ankle less playing basketball, mainly because I couldn’t jump as high versus one point in time.  But my effectiveness on the basketball court was also likely lower as a result, too.

    I disagree with this.  I think the problem is one of loyalties.  With Josh, he is loyal to his guys.  So he tries to force feed the ball to the likes of Gabe Davis.  Josh needs to just throw it to the open guy no matter who it is.  As to Dorsey he needs to adopt the philosophy if it's working, don't try to fix it.  Trust your eyes and just go with it.


    I agree, he does the same with Knox at times.  Hopefully success with other guys like Kincaid, Shakir, etc. will teach him the benefits of not force feeding the ball, especially to guys with stone hands.  Doesn’t mean Davis and Knox can’t have their moments, but Josh needs other/better options.  Davis had one of his best nights against Tampa, but was seemingly aided bc Josh had these other receiving threats too.

    The players are going to quit on this guy.

    Unbelievable.


    End of the game, they show Josh and Burrow shaking hands, and Josh covers his mouth to say something.  If anyone has a photo, would be a great “caption this”.

    I think they sent McDermott out there and he had to cover for Dorsey because he’s getting one more week to turn it around. That’s the only way that these comments make sense. 


    Maybe McD can call the offense and defense on gamedays?? 😂😂

    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.


    Damn, hope Benford isn’t out for too long.  Would be nice to at least have him back by the Chiefs game.

    Personally I think of all games this season, Elam should have been playing last night. Man is his jam.


    The ankle though.  I think you pointed out last night though that the Bills would still in zone way longer than they should.  Maybe McD needs to back off his love for zone against some of these

    smarter QBs in the league.  I for one am getting sick of these long drives against our defense that are still ending up in points and keeping Josh off the field.  By the time Josh gets the ball, he’s got to be thinking don’t screw this up, bc I might not get the ball again!

    Possibly, but they do have cap issues. It will be interesting. Just some really bad luck for Tre these past few seasons. 


    I think their entire defensive backfield is an interesting subject.  Micah’s in the last year of his deal, which I’d be surprised if they can and choose to re-sign because of age/salary

    cap.  Dane also in last year of deal.  With the trade for Douglas, if somehow Tre gets close to form (a big IF), maybe Benford moves to FS.  Elam’s development is also a wild card.  Meanwhile, Poyer’s diminishing speed is concerning, so not sure what we should hope to see happen in the SS role.  No one on the team impresses me as the potential Poyer successor, but I’m not sure he’s got another season in him.

    Well I tried warning you guys for a while but yes it sucks.

     

    Would simply encourage all of you to enjoy rest of season but assume the worst (i.e. no playoffs, losing season, Pegulas keeping McD/Beane and using injury excuse, etc). Life is too short to be emotional and mentally ravaged by this ***** football team.


    Is that how you get by as a Dolphins fan?

    I don’t see much point in restructuring TW. Is there much track record of CB’s returning to form post- Achilles injury? I think releasing him before his roster bonus is due is basically a slam dunk. 

    I’m skeptical if Tre will be able to come back from the Achilles injury, although this regime seems to be about as loyal as they can be to guys who work hard and are seen as leaders within the team.  I’ll be surprised if this regime releases him, before giving him that shot at a return.  But, I don’t think it’d be unreasonable for them to use the potential release as a bargaining chip to work out a more reasonable deal for both sides.

     

  16. Before they just cut Tre outright, I think they discuss a restructuring to a level that would be more in line with his new market coming off injury,

     

    With Knox, I think they consider his value in more than just being a pass catching TE, but his blocking ability too.

     

    As for Von, depends his level of play by end of the season.  But they’re kind of screwed there no matter what.

    Not sure if anyone saw NBC Boston's commentary after the Monday night loss to the Patriots. 

     

    They seem pretty confident the Pats ended the Bills season and made them eat *****... 

     

     


    Given morale is rightfully low today, I just wanted to bump this video from a couple years back.  Team had just lost to NE in Primetime at home, was 7-6, and staring at not winning division or making playoffs.  NE broadcasters were talking a bunch of smack, saying stick a fork in this team, and then this team found its identity and looked like one of the best teams in the league for several weeks in a row.

     

    My point is with Josh Allen and some of the talent still around him, we might feel a whole lot different about this team one month from now versus today.  Whether that happens or not, I always enjoy revisiting this video and the smugness of these guys being proven totally wrong.
