Absolutely, I don’t think we can know for sure. But I have a hard time believing that Dorsey is consistently telling Allen to go long when shorter safer options are available on second and third downs. It is something that needs to be figured out. I am now watching the Titans game after watching the Rams game. It’s shocking watching this compared to how the last 8 or 9 games went. Passes out quick, 5 to 15 yards passes to Gilliam out of the backfield. Sprinkled in some runs, this set up the occasional long shot. And when they took the long shot it tended to be wide open cause we weren’t throwing it every other pass. Zack Moss was still annoying 🤦♂️ But the offensive strategy was completely different than the end of the year.
Yeah, I just watched those 2 a week or so ago. CC said more good things about Josh week 1 than I've ever heard him say. In the past he would say things about him that seemed more like backhanded compliments. He was in full ball washing mode that night. When he compared Josh's play that night to that of Brady's, I nearly fainted.
But Josh was playing far different then and the playcalling made so much more sense. Quick hitting passes, with some runs sprinkled in and calling/hitting the deep pass when it made sense. Most of the deep passes were coming in the 2nd half once the secondary started creeping up and sitting on the shorter routes. They were so well set up Josh either completed all or most of them iirc.

Yeah.........you're just wrong and showing a lack of what we now recognize as common sense.
Sacks are largely a QB statistic.
Anyone who watched that lumbering giant refuse to give up on plays like nobody else in the league in his first 10 years knows why he got sacked a lot.
When Goodell forced new protections in the passing game in mid-season of 2010 it was mainly because Rodgers and Roethlisberger kept getting concussed and they were worried that the 2 seeming successors to Brady/Manning weren't going to last.
The thing was, most of the big hits they were taking were outside of the pocket because they just wouldn't give up on plays..........things Brady/Manning didn't do.
Two QB's who simply held the ball too long by NFL standards ultimately caused massive changes to the rules of the game that then resulted in 7 QB's having top 25 all-time passing yardage seasons the following year.
I hope I am not annoying you with my lack of real knowledge of the time period that you box score scouted.
Back to line one........common sense........as Roethlisberger aged, his offensive lines got WORSE.........and yet his sacks dropped dramatically until his pathetic final season.
I agree and was going to post something similar. Ben repeatedly held onto the ball and took sacks & huge hits in hopes of hitting the big play downfield. I just had this argument with 29 years of fanhood right before week 18.

Its a message board during a dead time in the season, what do you or the people complaining about people complaining and discussing how we wont win a Super Bowl with Beane & McDermott suppose to talk about on this platform? You dont think we were all hit as children? No one else wants to hear about it so we B word on this message board.
If no one else wants to hear your b!tching and even half the people on a Bills message board don't want to hear it, what should that be telling you? I have no problem with people coming on here to vent about a loss after a game and I get that when that last loss occurs in the playoffs that it will last longer, but we're at the 3 week mark and it just keeps rolling on and on and on. Repetitive threads saying the same thing, single posters just repeating the premise 100 times over and over again, multipled by how ever many of you there are.
I find it odd that many of these posters were the very same people saying the Bills players needed to get over what they saw on the field when Hamlin went down. We had to listen to that on a loop for a few weeks also. Yet these are the same fans can't put a playoff loss behind them 3 full weeks later? A life vs a game, big difference between the two.
Instead let's b!tch about A.) Something we have no control over and B.) Isn't going to happen for at least this year and probably the year after. With Kim Pegula and Damar Hamlin both having cardiac arrests and how Sean handled the situation in the weeks afterwards do you honestly believe Terry is firing Sean anytime soon? I don't see it happening for at least 2-3 years, Terry seems like a big softy to me. So in knowing that, I not going to spend my time b!tching about something that isn't going to happen.

People need an outlet. There's those that aren't satisfied with just making the playoffs anymore and those fans that are content.
Stop. Very few, if any are just content on making the playoffs. What do you people do when real bad **** happens in your personal lives? Run to a forum and whine and cry about it? Run to a corner of a dark room and cry yourselves to sleep? Time to take the dresses off and put your big boy pants on, it's been long enough.

From what I've seen over the last 3 weeks is there are a greater number of overgrown todders who don't have control over their emotions than rational people here. The constant whining, crying, blubbering, ranting & raving has been at a level like nothing I've seen on this board before. I've been comparing it to a small child screaming & crying because mommy didn't buy them ice cream.
And for what? Another McBeane have to go or else thread or there must be accountability thread? Like they get a say in the matter. It's all for nothing, but hey they get to ***** and moan about it. Hate to see how these people deal with real adversity and trying times in life. My parents would've knocked me into next week if I acted like they are as a child, let alone as an adult.

His natural instincts in pressure moments are to trust a stop more than trust Josh to get 2 or 6 yds on 4th.
If the above is true then why did he elect to go for it on 4th down 4 times against KC in the playoffs last year? He went for it on 4th down from the 50 on the opening drive of the game and again later in the drive on 4th and goal. He went for it on 4th down twice again on our 2nd to last td drive in the 4th. He also went for it on 4th down against KC on the opening drive of their playoff game the year prior and once again it was near midfield at KCs 48. He's 6/6 against KC on 4th down in their last 2 playoff games. He could've punted or kicked fgs in any of those situations and trusted his defense, but he didn't, he trusted Josh would get the 1st down/td.

Jets trajectory surpasses that of the Bills. They’re an above average, veteran QB away from overtaking the Bills.
Is that it? And how long have they been searching for this QB? You're making it sound alot easier than it is. They also have no money while not paying for at the very least, an above average, veteran QB.
Also if their trajectory surpasses that of the Bills why didn't they make up much ground this year? They had the same QBs and killed it in the draft, but finished 6.5 games back. Shaving off only a half game from last years 7 game deficit.

Because they don't have a quarterback. The one who doesn't know what they are talking about is you.
But having a an elite QB is what it's all about in the NFL. Assembling a great roster minus a top 5 or even top 10 QB does you no good. We will be the favorite again to win the division. No other team in this division was nearly good enough last year. We won the division by 4.5 games, 5 in the loss column. That's a bigger lead than any other division winner had at the end of the season.
It was much harder winning the division against NE the year before. We've actually widen the gap between us and 2nd place by 3.5 games this year over last as we only won the division by 1 game in 2021. We also widen the gap with the Dolphins by 2.5 as in 2021 they only finished 2 games in back of us. The Jets marginally closed the gap going from 7 games back last year to 6.5 games back this year.

Come on now stop embarrassing yourself. Your argument is feeble, weak, and unsubstantiated by last year's odds. Need I remind you of the Bills odds throughout last season?
Take off that homerism hat and see what's happening to this team. It's a slow progression towards being a very good team not an elite Super Bowl team.
The Bills organization is handicapped by the cap, pending contracts, and a faltering coaching staff.
We fans are left with hope, promises, and luck. I'd rather rely on talent and great coaching.
Thus far, it's six years of an elite QB and counting. Coming up empty the last two years have been pretty demoralizing. What's gonna change this year to get the team over the hump?
46 minutes ago, newcam2012 said:Mostly true. Look at how the Eagles went after free agents to build around Hurts. Look how their players on both sides of the ball dominate the line of scrimmage.
What did the Bills do to help out Allen? How successful have they been? Why hasn't the team advanced further?
These are serious questions the whole organization needs to answer and look at. There is no accountability here. Many seem satisfied with the playoff appearances. It feels like we the fans are being placated.
We deserve more and should have received more! This team frankly should have represented the AFC in the Super Bowl. It's a failure of Beane and the coaching staff to get it done. Now, the opportunity is slimmer because of Allen's contract and the cap issues. Missed opportunities...
You sound like the Bills have finally broken your faith lol. Well it's a choice, I choose not to feel that way. You do have to be able to assemble the team in order to win it all, but at the same time you gotta have some luck along the way also. We were not lucky with injuries this year as we have been in the past.
I would agree the team squandered good opportunities in 2020 & 2021. The 1st 2 years with Josh he wasn't ready to lead this team to a Super Bowl. As I already stated I agree with 2020 & 2021 and with who was injured this year going into the playoffs we weren't winning it anyways, whether we lost to the Bengals or the Chiefs is inconsequential. So I do agree that 2 of Josh's 5 years here were squandered.
But at the same time I'm not going to go around and be angry, rant, rave, whine or cry about it as many on this board have been doing for 3 weeks. It does absolutely no good to do so. After 45 years of being a Bills fan and living through 4 straight Super Bowl loses, this is child's play.
I will always be optimistic as long as we have a QB like Josh. Remember at one point Bill Belichick & Tom Brady went 10 years in between Super Bowl wins #3 & #4 going 9-8 in the playoffs during that span. I'm sure there were a ton of Pats fans screaming that Brady's window was closing for most of those 10 years. Then they won 3 more in the next 5 years.
I'm not going to ever see it your way and I'm sure you'll never see it mine. And that's fine, that's how it should be. Everyone has an opinion and they're not always going to align with everyone else. I think we'll have to agree to disagree on this one my Bills friend.

Ok the regular season then going forward. Right now, it's hard to answer until we go thru FA and the draft. But the Fins and Jets have closed the gap. Allen is the best QB in the division, but I am not sure the Bills have the best roster. The Bills are the favorite to win the division but if they don't, I wouldn't be surprised. Again, this is my answer now. That may change after the offseason moves are made by all 4 teams.
The Bills do have the best roster and will come opening day 2023. QB counts for far more than any other player on a team, especially a top 2 or 3 QB. We've had plenty of years in the past with a really good roster, but couldn't get anything that resembled a franchise QB, like the Jets roster currently sits. Until they get a QB everything else doesn’t matter, they won't be a true contender to unseat us or go deep in the playoffs.

The Bills might not even be favorites to win the AFC east division. Miami and the Jets have closed the gap. Might even be better. Allen is the big difference that still gives a slight edge to the Bills
They closed the gap? NE was closer in 2021. Slight edge lol? Miami was the closest this year 4.5 games back.😂

That's not what this thread is about. Why do you feel it's necessary to keep regurgitating the same thing over and over again? Pretty sure by now everyone knows what your thoughts are on the playoffs.

Making excuses, they haven’t got it done at the most important important time 4 times in the playoffs. How many chances do you think someone should get? The mistakes last year were unforgivable. Times up, we’ve wasted enough time and chances.
It's not up to us to decide on how many chances he gets. I guess I would put it this way. I wouldn't have had a problem if they let him go after the loss in the playoffs to KC last year. I thought he deserved it. This year the injuries make that decision more murky.
While it's true using injuries for reason of losing can be making excuses, not in this case though. Having 4 former All-Pros either out or really limited because of injury is not an excuse in this case, it's the reason. Again name me a team that can lose or have their play really limited 4 All-Pro caliber players, 4 of their 5 best players on defense. Their best pass rusher, their All-Pro Free Safety, #2 Free Safety and number #3 Free Safety during the game. Then have your 1st team All-Pro Strong Safety with 1 arm and 1 leg, your best CB, a 2 time All-Pro playing on 1 leg. Jones, your best guy in the middle of the DL, out. Another DT playing with 1 arm. No defense in this league could lose that much talent and hold Cincy’s offense down. None.

I don't think I like this thread at all. You are all LIARS!!!
@Shaw66 A mostly retired lawyer? Wtf. I used to picture an old time Bills OL, now all I picture is Matlock.
@Dan Darragh An old-timin Bills QB, nope. Still don't know who he is, but it sounds like he has alot close associates who have connections to the mob.
@Draconator Hmmmm. I really didn’t know what to think of you, but it sure the **** wasn't Ken who's employed at Yahoo, a real estate agent AND in a band. Are you also a secret agent by night?
@Don Otreply Yeah I know I'm not supposed to reply, but I gotta. Soooo you're not Don, you're Jeff? Jeff you no longer are allowed to be grumpy, you're living a dream life. Good for you.👍 You mentioned you were going to Bermuda on you way back home. Did you ask permission, it's rude not to? Here I will for you, Hey@Bermuda Triangle is it ok if Don, 🤬, Jeff here visits on his way back home? You can never be too safe when concerning urban legends.
@WhoTom We finally get to someone who's not a liar, as his name really is Tom. Thanks Tom for restoring my faith in humanity! You sir are a very accomplished individual, but watch out @Draconator is hot on your trail. Did you know he's a secret agent?
@Fleezoid Would've never guessed you were the beautiful young lady in the Airplane movies. Yeah, that's all I got.
@Gugny Way too much to unpack here, but your head really isn’t baseball? Biggest surprise out of it all. Pretty sure everyone already knew you were sleeping with your mom.
Me? I really do Love Me Some Bills. Even though they love to rip my heart out, repeatedly, over and over again. Been a fan for 45 years now. Rooting in wine country, in the central Finger Lakes. Home to over 100 wineries & breweries......hiccup.🍻
I've been a laborer, graphic designer and thought I finally got what I wanted being in management. While I excelled at it, I'm just not meant to sit behind a desk. Way too much energy. So now? Now I'm a lumberjack lol. First time working outside and I love it. And I'm making as much as when I was in management while working less hours.
Just wanted to say thank you to everyone on this board. While at times frustrating, this place is filled with great people and is a great place to come discuss our team. God bless. GO BILLS!!

Fair enough. As I said in my original post neither Highsmith or Sweat was a full time starter, Reddick played ILB. To add to that Chris Jones was a full time Defensive Tackle, now he moves between end and DT.
Can you look at that list and honestly tell me you think Rousseau is anywhere near the player Bosa or Chris Jones is?
Bosa? No, nor should he be. Bosa was a 2nd overall pick, Groot was the 30th pick. DEs that are 2nd overall picks should outplay DEs that are 30th overall picks by a good margin.
Do I think he could have a career like Chris Jones, as far as sacks are concerned, sure. Jones has 2 years where he's had 15.5 sacks, the other 5 he failed to hit double digits
On top of that you're talking about a 4 year pro & a 7 year pro vs a 2 year pro, they have experience on him. He had 8 sacks in 13 games. I could see him getting 10-14 sacks on a yearly basis starting next year. That very Chris Jones like, even a little better. Which makes sense because Jones' draft position was much closer to Groot's(30th vs 37th). He showed improvement. He had twice as many sacks this year vs last year, in 4 less games.

This is what I’ve been saying all along. This defense works really well during the regular season facing mid-level competition the majority of the time but they’re really good teams seem to completely destroy it.
We've beaten KC in KC in the last 2 regular seasons, holding them to 20 points both times. KC went to the AFCCG last year & will be, at the very least, the Super Bowl runner up this year. This year KC's offense was 1st in ypg & ppg. Last year they were 3rd & 4th respectively.
We also beat Miami(Pre concussion Tua) and Baltimore, all 3 of those teams were averaging over 30 ppg when we played them. We held Miami to 21, 7 of that was a result of a gift wrapped turnover inside our own 10. And we held Baltimore to 20, again turnovers gave them a 4 yard td drive and a 12 yard fg drive. All 3 were on the road, in a 4 week span and none were mid-level offensesat that time. This defense was really good before the injuries piled up, ranking #1 in the league with one of the hardest schedules at that point.
If you want to talk about the KC losses in the playoffs the last 2 years, I'm with ya. They were horrible in those 2 games. But they lost so much high level talent on that defense to injuries this year, I don't see how anyone could've thought they were beating Cincy, including me. Hyde and Von not playing, Poyer was so injured he couldn't run anymore and Tre was no where near pre-ACL surgery Tre. We were on our 3rd and 4th string Free Safeties in the Cincy game trying to stop the best WR trio in the league. Add to that no Jones on the DL and Phillips playing with 1 arm.
No defense in the NFL this year could lose that much talent and hold Cincy’s offense down. 0 chance of that happening.

I can see that McKenzie might get more YAC than Crowder but I firmly believe that Crowder will catch a lot more balls and that's more important, I believe for slot guy — make the catch and move the chains.
And without last season, Crowder averaged, drum roll please... 14 games per season over his career. I think that's staying pretty healthy over 7 seasons.I think the broken ankle is more outlier than a constant.
I'm not going to be one of these "fans" who would rather be right but at the expense of our team losing so if McKenzie comes back, I hope he builds on his success. At any rate neither McKenzie nor Crowder should start next year and that's good news. I hope.That's not how it works. Yes his first 3 years in the league he stayed healthy, but he's shown the opposite since. He missed a minimum of 25% of the season in 4 of the last 5 years, 7, 0 4, 5 & 12 games missed over that time. There is no minimizing that fact. He'll be 30 in June and based on the last several years, his best days are behind him. We have no cap space for players that can't stay healthy.

Yeah, Trevor didn't have a good game that week lol. 4 lost fumbles and threw a pick, but they only lost by 8.
