  1. I think the reason Dorseys offense looked ok overall was because Josh would go berserker mode and try to save the game, hitting long runs and big plays which would ultimately elevate the stats. I dont know how to track this but I would love to see DVOA and EPA/play for plays made "in structure" between Dorsey and Brady. Under Dorsey it felt like nothing happened in structure. The entire offense was drop back, scan, scramble, hit something out of structure. It felt impossibly difficult. Under Brady it felt like Josh hit a lot more in structure. So while the final result of a drive may be the same, it just was exhausting to watch under Dorsey.
  2. This assumes the Vrabel wasnt sick of ownership. This decision may have been made because of Vrabels feelings toward the org. Even if someone is a good coach, sometimes a relationship becomes to soured they have to go. I expect hell be in Foxborough soon
  3. Seems like it based on that video. But Miami is in a bit of a weird spot since they are already in the playoffs. Theres an argument to be made that they should consider resting guys that are close if theres a risk of re-injury. What is better, having the player on the road in Kansas City or potentially not having the player at home against Buffalo again?
  4. You should go back and look at how those 2021 Bills finished the season.
  5. I think the biggest factor is: do they want to rest starters for 2 weeks? Aside from an injury, I dont think you want Lamar and the offense resting for that long. The last two games have been incredible for Lamar and the team. I think the starters play for a half at least. This same exact situation happened in 2019 and the players have talked about the fact that the rest screwed them up a bit.
  6. Simply put: we technically dont control our own destiny right now. But for week 16 alone, If ANY of Mia, Jax, Cin, Cle or Ind lose then we are guaranteed a spot if we win out.
  7. 12-2, pretty good! And to further clarify, what I really mean is December into January (regular season): from 2020-2022 we closed on a 4 game win streak each year. And are 2-0 thus far.
  8. We usually play well in December when it matters most. Also McD tends to do very well against inexperienced QBs. I really cant remember a rookie or first-year-starting QB that beat us except Mac Jones in The Wind Game. He uses too many disguised coverages and blitzes, Easton Stick will have his work cut out for him.
  9. With this, and McD comments saying adding a DT to the roster is "something could take place over the next couple of days potentially.' It seems that way
  10. Very significant for them. With this and Hill being hobbled, the NYJ game is not going to be a gimme for them anymore.
  11. Theyve already done this. It did in fact score a TD IMO the best way to stop this for goal-line specific situations, is to have Joseph or Ed get a couple yard head start, try to 100% time the snap and run into Kelce has hard as he can. If youre early, its half the distance so not much harm done. But in the process you laid a hit on Kelce and let them know that its coming again the next snap. But if you time it right you will blow the play up.
  12. The optimistic take is that Joe Brady will ride the hot hand until the defense takes it away. There seemed to be phases in the game, not sure if it was planned or just happenstance. But there they started out looking for Diggs but a combo of coverage and drops didnt get it going. Then it went to Kincaid and Shakir. And then it went to the RBs in the pass game.
  13. For sure, but you asked if we have any CBs and we do. the Jets beat them without Sauce.
  14. Bills rarely get blown out, I dont expect that to change Sunday. We may lose but we usually have a chance in the 4th.
  15. I dont think they left everything on the field. Josh came out midway through the 4th Q and we settled for 3 FGs to start the game.
  16. This game is winnable on paper, but Philly has shown a resiliency this season. If we get our good offense without turnovers then I think we have a real chance.
  17. Noth teams have major flaws. If the offense can keep rolling for a few more games, and the defense keeps coming together with the new signings both are definitely winnable.
  18. Denver will be a factor too, and they have a H2H against us now. I believe the Bengals, Pitt will fall out. So itll be down to the Texans, Denver, Browns and us for the 3 spots. Jax plays Houston/Cincy/cleveland over their next three. So we are all Jags fans now.
  19. Sideline reporting is so stupid for these interviews. Its one thing to be boots-on-the-ground for injury updates. But I really dont understand why networks think viewers want coaching insights during the game. Also shes not being a "Big J Journalist" in this scenario. She just spouting canned answers for the camera, who cares if she made 1 up 15 years ago.
  20. This is something I dont get about fans. Even if we admit that Josh is the primary reasons that things arent working we arent gonna fire Josh! So maybe, just maybe, we can get an OC that works better with Josh. Maybe not but better to try and see then keep trying to jam the same square peg through the same round hole 2 years in a row.
  21. Allens biggest flaw is that hes not as good as Mahomes. Bills fans want Buffalo to be wire to wire SB favorites over multiple years. The reality is that is exceedingly difficult. Reserved for the Pats and current Chiefs of the world. Teams have down years even with good QBs, think Big Ben & Brees. For that class of QB its about finding the right combination of team and luck in a year and it all coming together. Im sure year-to-year people in Pitt and NOLA were frustrated that werent as consistent as Tom or Manning. But in retrospect, that era is remembered fondly because they got their SBs. Allen is a very very very good QB. His careers will have ups and downs, twists and turns. The reality is that the Allen era will be about winning 1 in his career, not 3-5. I am totally fine with that.
  22. He is actually 29, Sal asked him straight up because his ProfootballReference and wikipedia has different DOB.
  23. I have said the same thing to my friends, that I oddly feel better about our chances for a SB this year than I did last year. It is exceedingly rare to be a wire-to-wire contender and then ultimately win the SB. Get in and get hot. You can find a flaw with every AFC contender right now.
