  1. This offense does not have the X Factor magic anymore. They need to find it really quick for Tampa Bay. Wow that run by Moss was pathetic
  2. We held them to one touchdown —one—on one big play, with one player (Poyer) overcommitting. This is a solid defense and the best secondary in the league. Yes, the linebackers didn’t have a stellar day but overall they did their job. If we had scored another 14, or even seven, like we should’ve, none of this conversation would even be brought up. it’s near impossible in this league to win when you only score 10 points
  3. Bench Knox and replace with him with ____? No thanks. The one drop wasn't his fault btw. Just a good defensive play.
  4. Diggs is so fun to watch. I agree we should utilize him more. I'd like to see quicker passes to him.
  5. And, yet, if you look at threads of past, people complain that he tries to "outsmart" everyone. This "vanilla" offense was definitely true for last night. Not sure it is for other games this year.
  6. Pre-snap motion: I agree, at least about last night. The play calling seemed incredibly straightforward, with an offense not designed for it. Running the ball straight: Don't think we can TBH. Allen: I agree, its my one knock on him. Our plays take take too long to develop. We have the receivers for quicker release plays.
  7. I agree with that. It did seem Josh had an OK amount of time last night and took a long time to release the ball. The play design overall seems vanilla, which is odd, because fans often say Daboll tries to outsmart everyone.
  8. No. 1 in least yards allowed. No. 1 for least points against. No. 4 in turnovers. Despite the whining about this defense being soft, we just held the Patriots to one touchdown. That one TD was a run in which Poyer overcommitted to one side. This defense is actually historically good in a number of ways, with a penchant for getting pushed a bit by power run teams. We should have smacked the Patriots by 14 points easily. Mac Jones threw three passes. The Bills are simply way more talented. And, yet, we got whipped by a team we knew was going to run and we couldn't score in the redone save one time. The problem clearly is the offense. I watch Josh in the pocket and he amazes. Stands tall. Solid mechanics. Makes any throw. Escapability. Grit. Passion. Size. And physical toughness. He literally has it all. We have a tendency to romanticize last year. There were rough spots for sure. But most games this offense was a damn video game. It was historic. This was at least in part thanks to the now-maligned Daboll. This year, we have: A top 3 WR1 in Diggs - such an instinctive natural receiver. He's Randy Moss-esque. A top 3 slot receiver: Beasley just gets open. He catches everything. And he fights for the YAC. But, yes, watching McDaniels/Belichick call runs compared to us is night and day. And we have no rhythm, no push, we struggle in the red zone, and I have no faith we'll find any magic when we're down in the 4th. That last one is the biggest bummer. So, what's changed? And how can we improve this so we can at least make a Wild Card? --- PS: Please no vapid "Fire Daboll / McD sucks" comments and please offer an actual fix. (EDIT)
  9. This is what a quarterback does. Mac Jones is not a quarterback. He’s a chess piece.
  10. This sucks Do you know what they’re going to call play it man
  11. Something tells me they’re going to call a run
  12. This is ridiculous Time to explode Air it out
  13. Mac Jones with one pass They may not call another one all game this is insane
  14. That hold on Spencer Brown was bull####
  15. I guess we don’t believe in playing safeties in bad weather
  16. I hate it when Daboll fumbles the ball
  17. Breaida alligator-armed it in the pile after the fumble
