  1. All Josh's critics want is for him to take risks when they pay off with a big play and to not take risks when they end badly and for him to know the outcome before he commits to taking or not taking risks.  Perfect execution and flawless judgment i.e., reading the future, is all they ask.  They don't want to turn him in to Trent Dilfer they just want him to play more like Trent Dilfer and maybe to change his first name to "Trent" and his last name to "Dilfer".  Is this unreasonable?

  2. This thread kind of reminds me of the time I wanted to call my ex to see if maybe we could make another go of it but then remembered that I had an order of protection against them after they broke into my apartment, pulled every picture of an old gf I had, tore them into pieces and then set them on fire on the living room floor. Landlord was not amused.

    Mr Whitewash vs Klein is really no comparison. I. The small amnt of time Klein has been playing, he has proved to be a consistent player.  Let him play out the season as starter and Mr whitewash as backup. 

    I think you probably understand football much better than our coaching staff despite their experience, training, access to video and play by play assignments so I guess I should probably agree with you since we now live in a post-expert, post-fact world.

    Hey, I'm a homer and been loving and defending my team for many years.  I'm usually always in a player's corner when he may be questioned for underperforming; but this thing with Tre has gone on too long.  The latest reports now have him fully healthy but perhaps not too confident of his health/current abilities. 

     

    He's getting paid a ton of money and it's time to earn it now when the team really need him.  The pass defense is getting abused big time.  It's time for Tre to show up and help out.

    I really admire people willing to reach fully formed opinions without being hindered by a complete lack of supporting facts.  Bravo.

  5. I try to pity rather than despise those, rich or poor, whose addictions lead them to turn every good time into an opportunity to drink themselves into a medical emergency.  When we talk with pride about the Bills Mafia being "crazy" we are not talking about passing out in a puddle of your own urine.

    a guy that can run inside with power, make guys miss with quickness and win around the edge with speed would make a difference. 
     

    The bills have one of each of the above no guy that can do any two or all three.

     

    it could make a difference 

    So all we need is Jim Brown in his prime? Sounds like a plausible plan, probably lots of available guys like that we can fit under our cap.

    That was an interesting breakdown by Jerry O where he said that was pretty much on the Center for telegraphing the snap count by using the same signal every time.

     

    So basically after the guard gives the arm signal, Van Roten quickly turns his head to let the line know he is going to snap it but snaps it immediately after doing so which he had done 3 times in a row allowing Miami defenders to basically time the snap perfectly. He also catches Dawkins off guard because he was looking inside pointing a player to Saffold(as in saying you block him) and when Van Roten snapped it he wasn't even ready for the snap and Ingram blew right past him almost before he was out of his stance before he turned his head back to look at him...

     

    Super interesting breakdown by JerryO and he said that he didn't even give the OLine a chance because he is supposed to vary the time he snaps it(ie, not the same time every snap) and also wait at least a second or so for the other players to get ready after he notifies him the snap is coming. He said if he has done that when playing center Fina would have yelled at him the next play in the huddle like WTF are you doing??

     

    How about you just actually watch the game within the game and count the defenders to the left and right of the center and the number of Bills blockers to the left and right of the center.  That's why I am asking for someone with All 22 of they can check on this because I don't have it and while it appears to be the case at times, NOT every time, when watching live, sometimes it is hard to pinpoint with 100% accuracy, although it seems to look very similar to that play I posted when it happens(ie the Bills running to the outnumbered blocking side)

     

    Sorry if I pay attention to things you didn't even know existed 

    I'm sorry, I didn't realize you had access to the team's play book and knowledge of what audibles are available to Josh.  You'll have to excuse my not accepting your "sneaky suspicions" as facts. Likewise, your expert observation of counting hats at the start of the play is less than impressive. My 5 year old grand daughter can do that. You do know that players can move after the snap right?  

  8. Anyone else unable to get past the repeated use of the phrase "...sneaking suspicion..." in the original post so as to take any of it seriously? 

     

    How about we have a vote to send an emissary to Josh to explain to him that we think that the lousy running game we have is basically his fault?

    I think that would go over well as I have a sneaking suspicion that Josh would welcome such constructive criticism.

  9. Granted, the defense played waaaaay better than anyone had any right to expect and the offense did have a lot more mistakes. The defense did have a few blunders though.  Milano dropping a pick 6 and needlessly pushing Tua down drawing a flag certainly made a difference. Giving up a first on 3rd and forever late in the game also played a role in our defeat. I blame Frazer for that one as we only rushed 3 but still it was a critical down where we had everything going for us and we blew it.
