If you are talking about my thread or anything I said in it and you came away with that, then you misinterpreted what I said.

It didn't? What do you consider a meaningful playoff scenario? Against the Chiefs he masterfully took the lead back in the game two drives in a row. The last leaving the team 13 seconds to win the damn game. No defense should ever give up a score with 13 seconds to go and the field to drive. Ever. Thats not on Josh. Josh won us that game. McDermott and his defense lost it.

We have though. Perfect game against the pats. That game against KC was pretty amazing too. If not for 13 secs we’d be talking differently on how great that game was. Josh actually has a lot of impressive games under his belt and a ton more wow holy ***** can’t believe that happened throws.

The running backs we had here were never the problem. All of them could do what we have needed. A mixture between o line and offensive system and predictable play calling lack of knowledge or will to use players strength and more of a dependency on making players fit the offense they want to run is the problem.

I love Cosell and I agree we dont have the greatest talent on offense. However, I think our talent is underrated. There arent that many teams that are super talented across the board. Josh is elite. Cook can be explosive. Diggs is elite. Kincaid is playing really well for a rookie when given the chance. Davis is decent. Shakir is playing really well. Our oline started out really good in the beginning of the season. It actually looked like we had a good oline for a change. The Jags exposed something and they have been downhill since. They have not even tried to change or adapt to that other than to try and use the TEs in 12 personnel. I'm sorry but I refuse to believe that the talent we have on the team is all that terrible. We have guys. Even more guys than I listed. They aren't elite talents but we do have guys that are decent to very good. This offense just does not use the talent as it should be used. I don't even think Dorsey is terrible in the sense that his design is terrible.... It's just terrible for our team. He lacks the skills to use the talent and build an offense around what we have. Instead he is trying to force his one and only offensive system and make the players into something they aren't. That is why Dorsey needs to go. Because he is trying to fit square pegs in round holes and lacks the ability to do anything else. I watch other teams fit new guys in right away. How many times have we seen a player come in here and we can't even get them on the field at all?

Thats the afc this year. Its too tight. The right win or loss can swing a team from top to bottom. This is why the Pats loss and Jets loss were bad losses to take. We are the better team. Its those games that we have to win and didn't. The Jags loss I could tolerate because they are actually a good team this year and I probably underrated them at the time. Then it made the Bengals game that much more important. Now we are in must win territory.

Personally I don't think someone is a real fan if they can't be bothered to watch their team unless they are playing great football. I am down on this team too, but I am here every week cheering my team on and hoping for a turnaround. I've been watching this team for over 40 years and think I missed maybe 3 games that weren't blacked out and even then I listened on the radio. Maybe I am just old but I think its just sad and pathetic to declare you can't be bothered to watch them just because they aren't playing their best right now.

Do they show this stat per game? Do you have a link?

I might believe it. Depends on what it is. When I have time to watch it, I will watch it. Until then, EPA doesn't match the eyeball. EPA in a nutshell is predicting scoring chance per drive right? I don't find that to be very accurate if we score high but rarely score.

Yes, consistently bad. Try watching the games instead of the stat board. They do nothing all game and then get a couple scores in the 4th quarter. That is not good. Scoring 14, 18, 20 are 3 weeks of the last 5. That is below average. That is not good by any means. 24 and 25 in the other two weeks is just barely top 10 average. I'd like to see the work that we are 5th in offensive points scored over the last 5 weeks. Maybe I am wrong but I don't believe it until I actually see the work on it. Haven't had time to watch the video yet. Maybe its in there. I just have a hard time believing it when we are 20th in average ppg over the last 5 weeks. Even over the last 3 we are 13th which is barely above average. If you watch this team and think this offense is consistently good at scoring then I'd like some of what you are smoking.

He can't because in NFL wisdom, two taunting penalties or a taunting penalty and another personal foul is a game ejection.

Man you will just not give up this EPA garbage. You are going to die on that hill. The last 5 weeks we have not been scoring. There are 3 games that we scored big propping up that "5th in offensive points." The team needs to be consistently better. At this point they are consistently average. What did Bass miss, twice? Yeah, I am sure that 6 points is really contributing.

Only Bengals fine I seen in the list was this one: Bengals, Cordell Volson, unnecessary roughness, $5,746.

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen has been fined $10,927 for taunting during his team’s loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday, via Michael David Smith of Pro Football Talk. Allen pointed at a Bengals player as he was punching in a rushing touchdown to tie the score in the first quarter. He was hit with a 15-yard penalty for the incident. The signal-caller went 26-for-38 with 258 yards, a touchdown and an interception through the air while carrying the ball eight times for 44 yards. Cincinnati ultimately won the game by a score of 24-18. Allen’s fine is peculiar, considering other players received lesser penalties for unnecessary roughness fouls. The fact that he was fined more for pointing at someone than other players were for plays that could have caused injury is certainly strange, to say the least. Then again, the NFL has been widely criticized for quite some time now for the way it hands out penalties and fines, so the weird variance shouldn’t come as much of a surprise. https://www.msn.com/en-us/sports/nfl/bills-josh-allen-fined-for-taunting-during-bengals-loss/ar-AA1jMnwe?ocid=msedgntp&cvid=72356b63b82c4d3a8525dd5d101d9ca6&ei=47 Such a joke

You forgot the blind side block to Hyde that hit him right in the head.

Except they aren't playing cover 2 all that much. As per @HoofHearted

Seems like a give him a few million bucks and have him retire at halftime type of situation.

I agree somewhat but I disagree with prime Beasley. I think he was a difference maker. Old Beasley not so much. I think they CAN turn it around. Not sure they will but they can. I dunno even what the answer is. Mostly I think Josh needs to just get back to playing Josh football and the coaches need to let him. I think the number one thing holding this offense back is Josh not running the football on instinct. Half the time he tries to run now, he is so hesitant that it's too late. This is what made our D hard to defend and open everything else up. I think in the beginning it was coaches. Maybe his shoulder is part of the reason of that too. He says its no problem but I think it is bothering him. There just doesn't seem to be that dog in this team anymore. Too business like attitude. Not enough dog game attitude. You could see that attitude change before camp even started.

You are right about a bunch of people with pitchforks out for Daboll. I had my pitchfork out but not because of the games you list. The difference with those games is not just that we had a late game stretch, its that those games were surrounded by blowouts. It wasn't a 5 game or even 4 game stretch of mediocre football. For instance we opened with scoring 16 points in a loss and then proceeded to blow 4 teams out which included beating the chiefs. Then we lost a tight high scoring game against the Titans, beat Miami by 15, loss to the Jags scoring 6 points. Then we blew out the Jets, had a rare loss being blown out by the Colts. Then we blew out the Saints, lost to the Pats in hurricane scoring 10 points, lost a close one to the Bucs in a high scoring game. After that we blew everyone out until we lost in the playoffs. This year, we are basically on a 5 game stretch of average to bad offense and it just looks clunky and difficult to move the ball. 2021 was a completely different story.

At least sometimes he moves out of the way so he isn't the one that hits Josh. Isn't that nice of Brown?

I agree. I've said for most of the year that Josh not being a threat to take off and run hurts this offense because the defense won't change out of what they are playing without it. They don't care about our checkdowns even if we took them and they don't care about our run game. Josh running the football was huge and special. It tore defenses up almost as much as the pass so they had to account for it. Now they don't and they know it.

Cosell is always a good listen IMO.

I don’t care about the trick plays really. The article makes them sound great but I remember being pissed when Daboll dialed one up in the wrong moment and it failed miserably and killed the drive. fun will come with winning and playing good football. They arent. having fun because the offense sucks. Josh needs to get back to his superstar self and running the football. It’s the only thing that is going to open the passing game back up.

Thanks. Maybe just Beasley, Brown/Emanual Sanders executed it better or defenses are just better prepared for it today. Josh seemed to execute better back then too though. At least to me. I know we had clunkers with Daboll as well but nothing like this 5 game stretch in a row since rookie Josh.
