And when one does, and then hire a former SB winner, they are seeing right now how that works out.

We had it in the 13 second year. We should have tackled all their receivers at the line if needed.

True. But he helped get them there. Great OC. But will he be a great HC. The NFL is littered with good coordinators that didn’t turn out to be good head coaches.

You seem to be focused on the negative. That Josh will fall off. That we won’t replace guys. But look at things objectively. We have guys like Bernard on D; everyone thought he was a bust but look at him. Williams looks like another. Once Kincaid gets going another. Torrence. Cook. Bates will step in for Morse. And so on. Wasting? Come on. They are consistently in the playoffs. The 13 second stupidity was just that. Last year they ran out of gas due to injury and a teammate almost dying.

I’m saying he’s an excellent passer now and will only improve as he gains more experience reading defenses and such. So his window to win a Lombardi is pretty long in contrast to your view.

I think Payton was a little bit better than Josh, don’t you think? Anyway my comment is more directed at Sean Payton.

Wouldn’t have anything to do with a guy named Manning? And ask them how they like Payton, who as I recall many here wanted to fire McD for.

Unfortunately I do as well because I think it will be hard to overcome the loss of Tre, Matt, and DaQuan.

People always think the grass is greener, but many more times than not the grass actually becomes a dark brown color. Ask Broncos fans.

Except of course the three blowouts this year when he was making good reads, getting the ball out quick, and spreading it around. Right?

Your words, not mine. Except I think you meant mediocrity as medicity is not a word in the English language to my knowledge.

I’m sorry. Does Josh not throw that ball well enough for you? Will he not continue to gain experience in things like reading defenses? The window with Josh is at least a decade. Hopefully taken care of this year.

Everyone just wants mediocrity. No one wants a Lombardi. You nailed it.

So Josh’s age is an issue, when people were clamoring about the Jets getting a 40 year old Rogers meant a championship for them? Please. I confess to losing it momentarily when they called yet another dumb delay out of the shotgun and posting to fire Dorsey. But rationality quickly resumed. The Bills are doing well offensively and defensively. They could do better on both sides of the ball but there is hardly need for doom and gloom. Will they win it all? Maybe but odds are long. Both because odds are always long, and because losing three All Pro caliber guys may be too much to overcome. But the fun of being a fan is to watch things and see what happens.

They need to take that out of the playbook, burn it, and bury the ashes.

Nope. Look at the three blow outs. Josh took what was there, spread the ball around, Diggs still got his. And we wiped out the other teams.

Knox should have made the catch and Josh could have made a better throw. It doesn’t have to be either/or. We all love Josh but he’s not immune to critique. He was awful in the season opener for example. I think the offense really hums when Josh spreads the ball around some. He didn’t the first half Sunday, he did the second half. And we saw the results.

I was ready to kill Dorsey Sunday night. But we have a top 5 offense right now despite his odd play calls at times and despite Josh having brain freezes on occasion. So the question is who do you bring in that would do a better job? People always want to go where the grass is greener, but many more times than not when you do so the grass is brown.

No help on the line. No help on the line. Dawkins is good, brought Morse in and he’s good. Drafted Torrence this year. Brought McGovern in-so far so good. Brown is a weak spot. I am a believer in building from the lines out, but to say Beane has done nothing is absurd. Too many folks in the Mafia think you can have All-Pro caliber guys at every position on the team despite a salary cap. And Allen won’t go anywhere anytime soon. He has at least 10 more good years in front of him.

Run when necessary, but slide.

No

Thanks for posting this. It shows me that my theories on what's going on with the offense are misplaced. What I saw last night is that Josh just targeted Diggs in the first half and the offense stalled, but when he started spreading the ball around in the second half things improved. I still think that's what happened last night, but it's not happened all year.

I hope this continues.

Watch this coming Sunday. Belicheat is going to take Diggs away; he does this every game, takes away the opponent's strength. will Dorsey adjust? Will Josh? I hope so but I have my doubts.

Got away with one there.
