The Patriots average 12 points a game through 6 games. 12. They just put up an EASY 28 points. Injuries or not, it's inexcusable.
McDermott needs to face the fact his defensive is decimated and he needs his offense putting up 30 a game. This defense won't hold anyone under 20 the rest of the year

Defense got abused by Mac Jones. Let that sink in.
A defensive starting backup corners, backup linebackers and a backup DT.
And McDermott handcuffing his biggest offensive weapon.

Teams know theres an emphasis of Josh staying in the pocket and that they've taking the run options away. Belichek ain't no dummy and has schemed up pressure packages to keep Josh uncomfortable.
This is why you don't take that weapon away from Josh and you let the kid play his game. They could at least mix it in a bit to keep the defense thinking about it rather than scrap it completely.

Anyone know why the line is down to Bills -7.5?
Seemed like there was a lot of movement across the board. 49ers lined dropped too. Scoring across the NFL has been down

Why make an Olympic sport where one country has a near 100% dominance? Nearly every professional football player comes from the United States.
Now sure. You could of said the same thing about baseball and basketball 30 years ago. Not sure if you are old enough to remember the "Dream Team" that dominated basketball in the Olympics in the 90's.
We all know to well how the NFL is trying to go international and this is the stage to spur interest internationally.

Wasn't he playing flag football on the beach? Quite a bit different footing.

So they should just break the ball carriers ankle or leg instead?
It's a physical sport. Injuries are are a price of doing business in football and an acceptable risk that many are willing to take to play the game. Of course you want to limit them. No one wants a player out because of injury or to have life-long issues as a result. At least these guys are heavily compensated for the risk they are taking.
If the NFL is so concerned about injuries, why aren't they changing fields to grass? They just played multiple weeks in London on a surface that players complained of being like cement. They agreed to that surface over the grass surface that was already there. Surely because the soccer fokes said they didn't want them tearing up their field. The NFL is so greedy and wanted their international games so bad, they allowed players to play on cement-like turf.

In that case you go for the legs
Right. The two moving parts that are significantly more difficult to get a hold of than the body.

They are supposed to tackle the way they were taught as kids.
Either lead with your shoulder and drive thru the man keeping your head up or hit and wrap your arms around their legs.
Grabbing on and dropping your dead weight onto a runners legs isn't taught on any fields.
The picture shows a version of the tackle.
Look at the runners ankle snapping.
How do you lead with your shoulder and drive through a player when trying to tackle from behind?
These tackles don't occur when the defensive player is facing them head on. It's typically from the side or the back when the defensive player is in pursuit. What's next? Once a player gets by you, you have to let them go?

Josh being Josh means keying and slinging it downfield into coverage or scrambling when shorter routes were open. It's too predictable and quality defenses are using it against him, like the Jets.
Josh is becoming more dynamic and trying to better see the entire field. I believe him trying to make these changes is pushing the scrambling further down the priority list for now.
Dorsey also needs to learn how to dynamically play call (run game) to exploit what is working and better set up the passing game.
No one was complaining about new Josh in the Miami game. I am hoping much of this is growing pains and once Josh and Dorsey feel comfortable the unpredictable parts of Josh will be more prevalent, but the offense will be in far better shape.
Josh being Josh got them to the AFC championship game and divisional, which they should have won. The problem with taking that element out of his game is when a defense has the offense shut down, he doesn't have that tool in his tool box anymore to create a spark.
I'm not saying he can't evolve into a more traditional passer. I'm saying don't take away what makes him, him. Do you see Andy Reid trying to make Mahomes a traditional passer? No. He lets Pat be Pat and takes advantage of his unique play set.

I've been saying the same thing since game one this season. You have to let Josh be Josh. They are essentially taking away the element that makes him special. His ability to play off script is the weapon that frustrates defenses and our coaching staff wants to handicap him by taking that element out of his game.
-
Did you guys really think he was going to resume where he was preinjury the first two games back in less than a year?

Dolphins 4-1 and can't even sell out their stadium

This is what happens when you roll with Mac Jones as your QB.

I'd rather look at one of their corners or linebackers

Is Milano still in London at a hospital and having surgery there? Usually you can fly for a while post surgery. Wonder how long he'll be stuck there. That really sucks for him!
This is another reason why these stupid games in Europe need to stop!
I doubt it. These guys don't have surgery from just any surgeon. They typically go to specific surgeons that specialize in these sports injuries

McDermott said he would require surgery I believe.
https://bangedupbills.com/2023/10/09/examining-buffalo-bills-matt-milanos-right-knee-injury/I think he's done for this year.
Surgery can be as minor as putting in screws. Just cause it's surgery, doesn't tell us a lot. We begin walking elderly patients with fractured hips that are getting screws placed the same day of surgery.

The NFL seems to be doing stuff like this a lot more.
The problem is they pick and choose when to do it

That was some absolute BS that NY called in to call off the penalty for OL downfield on that screen. So do they just pick and choose when to chime in and affect the games calls?
If that's what they are going to do, it needs to be done across the board.

Depends what type of fracture. If it is tibial plateau fracture usually involves cartilage damage.
Not true. I've had that fx and it was a 6 week timeframe with a brace that was adjustable to allow some flexion of my leg. I was walking on it in approx 3 weeks with the brace
-
Hopefully Milano is just a fracture. He could absolutely return this year if his ligaments are intact
A fx is typically a 6-8 week period, with 8 being lengthy.

That astro turf on concrete they played on has to go. Can't believe the NFL agreed to play games on it in 2023.
I didn't see where he got concussed, but wonder if it was his head hitting the ground

Hmm they have finished in the final Top 25 2 times in the past 5 years. Fairly impressive for a non power 5. Having said that Wyoming is on a mission and this game is about over.
I'm from Fresno and I can tell you... EVERY time they get ranked they ***** the bed against a team they should have beat.
The David Carr led dogs that got to like #8 and lost to Boise...
The Derek Carr led dogs. I don't remember where they were ranked then, but same story
Every. Time.
