Jets game is a good example. Pass yards were hard to come by and our TEs only produced 25 and 26 yds on 7 total catches. They both only had one catch in the entire second half. TEs should be exposing mismatches and give the qb an outlet to throw. When they’re not getting open, you’re forcing Josh to make tough short throws against a good jets pass D.

No I’ve surmised he’s lost his long ball bc teams have countered it and play two deep shells. Even bad teams know to just roll safeties over diggs and Davis. We are way less dynamic and it’s showing. You have to be a real homer to not admit we’re pinned into small ball.

The 0 sacks is because of the help. Again we’re pinning our TEs to the line instead of going out for passes to help. It’s handicapping us.

what’s the tipping point where accuracy doesn’t matter vs yards per pass. His accuracy is great but he’s lost his long ball almost completely. if the passing game somehow explodes vs Miami, I’ll eat crow. But something tells me it isn’t happening. 72% and 218 yards is not going to fly vs real teams.

Can he? Hes currently ranked 13th in yards. I think you need to take a step back and look at the last three games. Our passing offense is not hitting right now. there was a point when Diggs maybe hurt his wrist on Sunday and just the thought of Davis being our WR1 was devastating.

Opportunity. A comeback route’s YAC opportunity is low. Hitting a WR in stride has a potential for missed tackles and more YAC. One gives you a chance for big plays the other methodically marches you down the field but makes you make more throws.

I agree with a lot of what you’re saying. Boundary routes and throws to the end zone don’t have YAC. So you see as an imperfect measurement for success. but what you can’t deny is our comeback, checkdown offense leaves us in A LOT of third and longs. And it’s great when we’re completing them and famine when we’re not. im not trying to “create a problem” but I’m not going to view everything with rose tinted glasses when we beat up some scrubs. these are the things that bite us.

We all watch other teams play aside from the Bills. We’re able to see teams hit WRs in stride and make big plays. meanwhile our big plays are stationary catches. 20 yard strikes to a Knox on his knees or a zone sitting Diggs who rolls for another yard. Diggs was ranked 26th in YAC last year. Dont get me wrong, Josh is amazing at hitting stationary targets. But when it comes to guys on the run, he tends to put it into their chest. I still can’t figure out why this hasn’t been addressed. It’s been a thing since his first year.

Concussion cometh Tua gets his brain broken bills win with head games

We just need to score here, go for 2 and recover the onside kick.

We win big and then have to endure a week of “told ya Josh is fine!!! This team is fine!! We showed the haters! The media hates us!!” it’ll be the Diggs controversy all over again.

We did this exact same thing last time he played a bad game. Find the thread.

Agreed. Imagine what a competent OC could do with our TEs?

He needs to go watch film on Brady. There were entire stretches of games where Brady threw short passes 95% of the time. Why? Because he was coached to and listened. And they were successful

Daboll is coaching the Giants.

We honestly say this every time. We keep waiting. We need an OC that holds him accountable. No one holds him accountable for going off script.

The point is we had more than enough time and timeouts and downs to work the ball methodically down the field to get into scoring position. Hell, we were already in FG range to tie it. He takes dumb chances sometimes. And when they don’t work, it costs the team gravely.

I’m reminded of last year vs the Vikings. Especially OT when Josh forced a ball into the end zone with timeouts, time on the clock and good field position on an early down. Interception, game over. why doesn’t he have situational awareness? Why can’t he learn his lesson after six years? I’ll take boring and consistent over hero ball when we don’t need it.

Our TEs can’t make plays bc they’re too busy bailing out the oline.

We’ve built a D to stop the KC offense and that’s it. Any team that can run smacks us in the face.

Because our second year OC is way in over his head.

Cook is just not big enough.

15 years ago is the beginnings of social media and the smart phone. It expanded the sports talk landscape and now everyone can follow all of their favorite homer content creators. It also changed the formats TV sports talk to be more laid back and from the hip (like social media). Hence why you get TV commentators openly rooting for their teams.

If this place was filled with like-minded people all commenting “good, anticipated move” and “I agree with the other 20 commenters about the trade” you wouldn’t visit this site.

I’d love if we could scheme a ton of two TE sets to help chip and get off the line to catch balls. Unfortunately, I don’t have any faith in Dorsey using our weapons correctly.
