    Will a win over the Jets to get to 6-5 bring everyone back in?!?!

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    I won't say I'll be surprised if we win. I'm not off on them yet but they and I are seriously wounded. Never know what happens next and there is time to recover despite the hard schedule. Replacing Dorsey could provide a spark that pushes them through the season. Or it could be meaningless and the season ended when Milano got hurt.

    Magic 8 ball says too early to predict.

    With the injuries being significant (no excuse) they certainly could flame out.

    With Josh, and maybe a fresh restart, they could win out. Time will tell. Every week is the biggest game of the schedule now. Jets are a great test to our mindset going forward. Their defense has crushed all the top qb's. LFG!

    Right on.  There is a long history of QBs coming into the NFL that are good Passers but also full of youth and vinegar and are not going to play old fuddy duddy pocket passer football.  They have early success but also get injured a few times and start to realize you're not gonna last long ing NFL doing that so start to become pocket passers and have long carreers.  Guys I'm talking about:

     

    Roger Steinbach

    Donovan McNabb

    Ben Roethlisberger

    Randall Cunningham

    Steve Young

    John Elway

    Durante Culpeper

    Aaron Rodgers

     

    The only guy I remember not doing this was Michel Vick.

     

    I also heard Steve Tasker talking about this years ago about Tyrod. He said if you run like that you takes some hits you get nagging injuries like a jammed thumb or sprained ankle or a sore shoulder that pocket passers don't.

     

    This is Josh's 6th season.  The running is fun and effective but he's gotta transition before too long or he's gonna have a shorter less productive carreer. He's already missed a half a season and had sore shoulders the last 2 Years hurting his play.

     

    That's why I think Coach McDermott and Coach Dorsey are trying to limit the runs.  But then again, we need to win.  So we'll see.

     

     

     

    And as result of the coaches conservative mindset, we will miss the playoffs while we are in a Super Bowl window. Absolutely unacceptable.

    We have a willing guy. Let him be him. What is this *****? Like a husband and wife? I love you honey. Now change! F that. Ball out Josh. I never want to see you with the deer in the headlights confused look you've been showing on the sidelines. I want the mad dog alpha Josh that is screaming at and pumping up his team mates. That is who Josh Allen is. This version of Josh created by McD is like Josh on Ritalin. F that!

    Folks are still playing that tired mantra of coaches not "letting Allen run" or "coaching it out of him" and not really thinking about the injuries to Allen's throwing shoulder and how that may be changing how Allen is trying to approach games as a QB.

     

    The way Allen plays he is getting hurt. Whether he is in the pocket either failing to read the defense, or turning down quick throws on schedule that are open underneath looking for deeper shots, or just making up his mind where he is going to force the ball. That behavior leads to him holding the ball long enough for opposing rushers to get home and lay hits on him. If he takes off and tries to bowl over defenders, or when he scrambles extending plays outside of structure he can and does gets leveled and has injured his shoulder.

     

    Allen's throws, accuracy, and ability to practice with the offense has been hampered by injuries to his shoulder the past 2 years. Against the Giants he was scrambling, extending plays outside of structure (as he is very good at doing), but he got hit and landed on his shoulder reinjuring it. There is a brave recklessness to some of Allen's game that in some ways is admirable. When he got blasted last year and was mic'd up and told that guy that hit him, "I love that s**t".

     

    But this is the real world and the hits are starting to catch up to him. Allen injured his throwing shoulder and broke his collarbone in Wyoming too and he played much the same way he does now. You watch the clips below and you see the same kind of QB - Allen holding the ball, evading the rush, often rolling to his right, directing scramble drills and creating plays outside the structure of the play that is called - basically street ball.

     

    Successful QBs need to have that ability. Pure pocket throwing statues (unless they can dissect defenses and have one hell of a quick trigger with accuracy - Brady) do not last long, but Allen cannot live in that world of running around on every play the same way he did at Wyoming either.  NFL defenses are too good, and they catch on, and now they make things harder with disguising deeper zone coverages, negating our scramble drills, and often spy him with speedy LBs and Strong Safeties that can close on him and get hits on him as soon as he bails on the pocket.

     

    Good QBs that can last in this league have to have both the ability to read defenses and get rid of the ball quickly (and accurately) to negate a good pass rush or blitz, and the ability to run and play outside of the structure when things break down or there is simply room to run. Allen does one of these things very well (playing outside the structure), but the other needs more work. He also needs to throw the ball away, slide, or run out of bounds if it means he avoids injury. The best ability is availability.

     

     

     


    There is a reason why veteran QBs and retired QBs are saying the same thing. They want to see a long career for Allen as we do, but I am not sure if that is going to happen if he keeps playing the same way and tearing up that shoulder. It is less about telling Allen not to run, and more telling Allen "if you ARE going to throw the ball, know where to go with it and get rid of it quickly so you are not getting slammed". 

    There are other issues with the offensive game plans, preparation, and execution, but it is hard to put my finger on those things as coaches are either getting the most out of their players or they are not.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Ok fine. Gunslingers don't care. I think Josh hurt his shoulder entering a melee and coming to the defense of a teammate. It's how he's wired. Let him be him. He is not a small man.

    Maybe maybe not.  Everybody is different. Just because the guys you mentioned have been able to handle it doesn't mean everyone can.

     

    I do remember when Ryan Fitzpatrick got a big contract upgrade/extension his played suffered for example.

     

    Josh's whole thing Has been the kid everyone said couldn't make it. The kid from the small school. Troy Aikmen said on draft night he would never be accurate.  Now he's made it and proved them all wrong.  He got the fat contract.  Maybe he got a case of the big head. I don't know. Its a theory.  The shoulder is also a good theory.

     

    One thing s for certain. He can't throw the bomb this year while he was good at it the last few years. What do you think has changed?

     

    The coaches. They determined he shouldn't run and it's taken his mind out of the game. They must have drilled this mantra into him hard. I want the Josh back that wouldn't hesitate to take off with the ball. And maybe even leap a guy if he has to. I believe that gets his juices going and plugs him into the game and they've coached it out of him and I think that sucks.

    I agree with the guy on the video. Josh's accuracy on the long ball has been off this year.  Even pre injury.  He's got Diggs or Shakir or Gabe on an open bomb and over air mails him by 5 yards.  Reminds me of 2018 Josh. He can throw it a country mile. We're just not sure where its gonna come down.

     

    Maybe he spent too much time in the off season making commercials, playing celebrity golf tournaments, and chasing girls and not enough time practicing his passing.

     

    I'm so sick of this narrative. I'm sick of seeing commercials with Mahomes, Kelsey and Reid. They've won Super Bowls

    How has that commercial action impacted their performance? 

    This notion that Josh is impacted by this is a joke.

    Hmmm...defense shredded. Poor tackling. O-line inconsistent, and the Kincaid turnover was a killer. Running game not established and the Bills had 10 days of preparation.

     

    Time to rebuild. Keep Allen, Torrence, Diggs, McGovern, Bates, and Edwards. Keep Shakir and Kincaid. Keep Cook and one of the ver running backs..not Gilliam, a wasted spot. If possible, lower cap hits on Allen and Diggs.

     

    Find ways to lower Dawkins salary, get rid of Morse, and eliminate S. Brown. Do not resign Davis. Harry and Shefield are Jags.

     

    Keep Oliver, Jones, Rousseau. Resign Floyd. See what can be done with Miller's contract. Offer to Epenesa but at like 7 mil per year. Lawson is done.

     

    Hopefully Milano returns healthy. Bernard is serviceable. Almost other linebackers are cheap backups or replaceable. I would keep Dorisn Williams for a longer look.

     

    Tre White, Poyer, Hyde, Neal, J Norman, Hamlin are  done or replaceable. 

     

    Keep Douglas, Benford, Jackson, and find a way to lower T. Johnson's contract.

     

    Need an Offensive Coordinator and possibly a new head coach.

     

     

     

    First I won't say I disagree with any of this. Second, How the hell given all the turnover that needs to happen have we been a contender? Where did we go wrong?

    This ***** ain't working at all.

    The Bills are Going to Miss the Playoffs

    For the ‘bills miss’ crowd, who are your 3 wildcard teams? I think this is a lot of doomsaying without much critical thought honestly.  Right now we are the 7 seed and the 5-6 is pit and Cleveland.  Do you expect them to stay there? Then trailing us is Houston,NYJ, and cincy. I’ll give cincy the benefit of the doubt especially since they got lucky with purdy out today but one of pit/Cleveland is undoubtedly going to fall off if not both

     

    i wanna see some people on record with their silly playoff picks 😂. Bills are probably 75-80% gonna make it right now.  If we beat cincy next week I don’t really see a path to us missing 

     

    Let me ask you, do you really see a path to us beating Cinci? Joe Burrow is back.

    It is really obvious that TBDers haven’t watched the Bengals play this year. 

     

     

    I saw some today. Enough to scare the ***** out of me.

    With all that we've been lacking this season, bad coaching, bad defense, bad offense, injuries... I am not confident about anything now with this team. In fact, if you want me to, I can argue I see a path to Bills losing out! I kid. They've been that bad and everything seems to be coming to a head now.

    One thing that gives me great comfort is the NY Giants. Whatever year they won a Super Bowl with Eli they entered the post season at 9-7 if I recall and just started rolling through the post season. Anyways I came on here today to get some positive vibes. Thanks everyone. Thanks a lot.

    I thought it was a cheap shot. Greta joke, it gets cold in Buffalo. Buffalo is Theo not place it ever gets cold apparently!!!

     

    That said, Buffalo has gotten a lot of love. But cold jokes are getting corny. 

     

    It is done so well, we can afford to laugh at our own expense sometimes too.

    They had their own truck all the way from New Orleans, cooked and all that on-site. 

     

    Ah cool! Not produced by Wingfest then. Acceptable!

    Thank you for following up. I appreciate what Drew Cerza has done. Seriously. But seeing what seemed like 75 - 100 fryers made me think this is a saucefest only. Nobody controlling how they cook their own wings. In Popeyes case, obviously needs to be breaded so not being done by wingfest. Good marketing move by Popeyes for sure then.

    My band has played Wingfest at Highmark Stadium the past two years. I have had award-winning wings from around the world. Some of the best wings I have had at Wingfest were from Popeyes. 

     

    So someone brought wings from Popeyes in Hamburg with them to Wingfest. Cool. But they had to be lukewarm at best. Nice crunch on Popeyes you can't get at Wingfest lol.

    Reboot the computer. If that doesn't work, you have to throw away your computer and buy a new one

     

    This is false. Reboot, restart, wipe the hard drive, restart again and in 45 minutes then you either throw it out or send it in for repair depending on your warranty coverage.
