    Weird day, me or both?

    Weird play calling too.  Those deep passes to Davis back to back in the fourth quarter to set up that three and out has made me lose faith in this coaching staff.  If that were Burrow or Mahomes on the other sideline we’d me making our off season wishlists and mock drafts right now.

    According to the Bills playbook those are the reads. It was well known that if the Dolphins flashed cover 0 or 1-1s on the outside that was the throw.

     

    Now if you say that the team didn't have cover 0 short beaters, great I take your point. But overall, just blaming the reads without knowing why is lazy IMO.

    It wasn’t the score that made me think that.

     

    It was context.


    We we’re down 4, the Bengals we’re effortlessly driving again, and we were already down 2 defensive starters due to injury in the first 8 minutes.

     

    This wasn’t the Bears we were playing where we could easily come back. It’s an elite team.

    I think that second drive wasn't what you thought is was... 3rd and short. Would they have gotten it, likely, but I think the defense was beginning to settle down.

    I wouldn't go that far, but Josh hasn't looked like the Josh of pre-season MVP discussion since the KC game. Once again he looked just a little off - as evidenced by his misses to McKenzie and Beasley. Cinci on the other hand looked dominant. I don't see our defense being able to keep up with them. their top 2 WRs are leagues better than what we can offer on defense right now. It looked like the beginning of a blowout to me.

    To Bease, that's a normal miss for all QBs. To McK he thought there was pressure and didn't step into it. He would likely have seen that and improved moving forward.

    I don’t understand the Bills with 5 years of experience with Allen don’t have a designed Allen run call built into every possession <8 yards and in.
     

    The first drive there were multiple times Josh had to ask for the play again over the noise. I'm fairly confident he called the second down play I'm the RZ. He clearly throws his hands down in frustration at about 22 seconds on the clock. I think he was hoping that his normal play call in that situation (a HB run up the middle) was going to be jumped and was hoping that misdirection was going to work. Instead they were fortunate he didn't hand the ball off.

    It was going to be a run by Motor but the Corner on McKenzie didn't follow him across with his Jet Motion.  Instead when McKenzie motioned, that Corner blitzed and Spencer Brown couldn't get to him in time as they weren't expecting that blitz.  Josh sensed that handing it off would have been a 5 yard loss and kept the ball.  You can see in Diggs' reaction up top as he clearly thought it was a running play and made no attempt to run a route.  Dion Dawkins was also downfield leading you to believe it was a run.

    It was a backyard football reaction. He made the right decision, IMO.

    I loved watching Spencer Brown put in the extra effort to make sure that the kick spot was perfect, lol

    I'm not sure, but I think he was bordering on the edge of a penalty, as he was pulled by another lineman back to the huddle. Then after he went back again! 🤣😂🤣

    That said, until I saw the kick split the uprights, I was planning out OT in my head like a good Bills fan 

    Wait a minute, you saw it? I have watched the replay tons of times and still can't find the ball! I had no clue until I saw the officials put up their arms.

    You can control that.  

    To a degree. I think we have done a fairly good job so far limiting SM. However there will be a point where they will make their own decisions and mistakes. How else will they learn?

     

    PS I think most of this is by giving children cellular abilities and phones  too young.

    I’m starting to get extremely frustrated with Dorsey.

    Ken ‘it’s shotgun or nothing’ Dorsey 

    Morse and Bates out...your down to your last center....yeah, they'll be in shotgun the entire time to prevent mishandled snaps under center.

    Once Morse went out it would have been a big mistake to go under center.

     

    Josh has large sure hands and even so, he was challenged on a couple of those plays.

    You get it!

    We already have had multiple bobbled snaps between Allen and VanRotten.  I would never go under center with them together.

    Some of the offense's troubles lie with our makeshift OL. Last year Josh had noticeably more time to throw when he was in the pocket and that allowed our receivers more time to get open.

     

    Maybe it's Dorsey's playcalling but in his after game interview when asked about the 3r quarter performance he put it down to execution.

     

    I agree that on the two deep pass plays with two receivers in the same area, that should not happen.  The play wasn't drawn up that way. One of the receivers didn't run the correct route.

    Honestly what are you supposed to do when you’ve got van roten and Bobby Hart on the offensive line.  They might be the two worst offensive linemen in the league and I don’t even think that’s hyperbole 😂. We’re missing our two mediocre depth linemen so we’ve gotta jump right to the bottom of the barrel guys when we lose a starter

    Maybe, just maybe, the Bills would be better if their outstanding center didn't get hurt, the starting right guard wasn't out, that their left guard wasn't terrible and the right tackle was at least consistently average. 

     

    Context dude. 

    I will give a small amount of leeway for HotTakes from the OP, but after a day it needs to be looked at from the critical lens. The Bills lost half their Offensive playbook when VanRoten went in. There were not going to be under center snaps, so that led to shotgun only plays. Heck they lost 5 yards on a kneel because of the snap issues. 

     

    I get the need to harp on Dorsey, but maybe their Offensive plan from the first half would have continued I'm the second if Morse wasn't hurt. We'll never know.

    Tik tok is probably the most used SM app in general but for  teens to communicate with each other they mainly snap. Pictures (mostly what they communicate with), text, face time and calls all via Snapchat. It’s a really sneaky app too, imo 

    Well color me excited for when my kids start using it...:sick:

    Mitch Morse December 2022 Concussion

    If anyone actually knew the number of undiagnosed concussions their heads would explode. 

    Literally or figuratively?

    getting Bates back will be huge and hopefully Ike as well(remains to be seen if he can play)

     

    Bates will be key at C imo 

    Yep. VanRoten's snaps were REALLY slow to Josh.

    26 minutes ago, CSBill said:

     

    Yeah, this probably makes the decision for them (about Boettger). Bates is the Swiss Army Knife on OL, and I trust him at center. With him, it allows Mitch to take his time to come back; if he wants to and is able. Hopefully Boettger is ready to go. Although I thought Von Rotten and Quessenbury did decent after things settled last night. But man, can VR put more zip on his shotgun hikes, it looks like it is in slow motion sometimes?

    We lost a ton of our offensive playbook when VanRoten came in. Since he and Josh had no snap chemistry all under center snaps stopped. I'll have to rewatch, but I'm fairly confident that all snaps in the 2nd half were shotgun.
