He looked solid minus the one play where he let Hill have a free release off the line....TD
was he on an island on that play?
I remember the replay kinda made it look like we may been in Cover 1 or at least had one safety high, over the middle ... but it also looked like he broke to Tre's side immediately.
I would like to see better angles of that play but it did look like White was on an island, and if that is the case, I would think he would back off and not press...

Just started rewatching the game, got home way too late last night after the game.
”Butt Fumble” Sanchez is insufferable.

Anyone notice on the kneel down that Josh was not under center (full house??)..
I am guessing that was because Morse was out or because of the fumbled snap earlier in the year at the 1 yard line, or both.
Miami had no timeouts so taking extra time off the clock wasn't it.
Just found it interesting and new..

I love how they say that bad weather favors the offense because “the receivers know where they’re going”.
Do they only know this in bad weather?On a sunny day, do they not know where they are going?
And if you take it a step further (pun unintended), someone (my brain initially) will say, "yeah but once the receiver sticks his foot in ground to cut, the defender will have to react and because of the snow, his reaction and time it takes to cut/accelerate will be slower than usual."
To which I reply, wouldn't the receivers' cut be slower than usual as well (and what if the receiver slips due to surface? Advantage defense.)
Is this just something everyone has said for so long? Or is there a valid counterpoint?

He also said at this time of the year if anyone says they are fully healthy they are lying.
I think the other quote is more telling (dealing with it for the foreseeable future) than the cliche that you just relayed via Josh.

I'm actually curious how Rhodes played. Saw him in the game, but didn't see his name, which is usually a good thing for a defensive back
the only time I remember thinking about Rhodes last night was when he was very upset at someone on the Patriots. didn't see why or what happened.

Actually saw Hocculi tell Josh the Pats weren’t gonna call timeouts.
not gonna lie, even though it makes no sense, I was thinking, "they're lying! they're gonna use a T.O. after the first kneel!"

Normally with 1:53 on the clock and opponent with 3 TOs left you run a couple of plays and try to get a first down. How did we know Pats were not going to use TOs and we went right to kneeling?
they looked terrible last night. We played good D but that was an awful team we played
I too was wondering how the hoodie signaled this to us...

Could very well be, also could be other things I mentioned along with it.
I feel like most of the reasons you listed would most likely be a direct cause of the elbow injury (ie. confidence; Dorsey possibly dialing back the calls/playbook)

Good question but it begs another question, i.e. why does the Bills defensive coaching staff often lack a discernible and specific strategy to shut down an opponent's offense.
I think it's the philosophy. Look no further than the % of snaps we are in Nickel defense. Focus all energy (practice, signings, everything!) on doing what we do best. Of course they have game-specific and player-specific plans within that philosophy on a week-to-week basis, but I think there is a conscious effort to not forget this leading principle ("this is who we are, go ahead and try and beat it consistently.").

I still crack up at that Buffalo Wild Wings commercial where at the end Josh says, "PEPSI".

Anyone have any prop bets they are confident in this week?
-
Anyone who thinks that catch was super easy yesterday, watch it again. In real time and slow mo please.
Too many spoiled brats here. Too many people turning on players when we are efing 8-3. Never been more disappointed of the fanbase than i have been than this year. Pathetic. Not all of you of course.

It's easy to forget because of how it ended but Josh was straight up off on a LOT of throws today. Of course we also had guys dropping perfect balls and stumbling over themselves too.
Josh was very bad for 55 minutes today. But they pulled it off. We just have to hope it's the elbow that's causing it.
I agree with almost everything except I think "very bad for 55 minites" is too strong.
I think he also made some good and a few great passes in that 55.
But he is no doubt missing too many, and some that aren't close. More than we are accustomed to.
I believe the elbow needs rest and he'll get some here and then a long week after NE. I hope that rest does him wonders and we start to see the early season version of Josh.

OP and I are not watching the same games

Rooting for U.S. to make it out of the group stage. Anything else is gravy. That's how I approach it. Watched every qualifier I could as last time around, it proved that qualifying for the WC was no longer a given (my mistake).
I have a futures bet involving France repeating. FTR, I'd gladly take US winning it all and I will be rooting as such, but let's be real haha

He has been available.He is not playing.
And you’re good with that with the way some of our players are laying it on the line?
Tommy Doyle finished the Miami game with a torn ACL.
Why?
Because the team NEEDED him.
Yes. With what is known and not known at this time, yup.
And let's say it was all mental and the team decided they can't deal with this this season and IR'ED him, I would:
A. Understand.
B. Not be mad or critical of Tre White.
I don't believe Tre is out there stealing money. I trust the Bills to do what is best for team and player. They have earned that from me. He has earned that in his short time from me as a fan.

I don’t think it’s too hard to figure out with White having been back at practice a while, McDermott and Eric Woods and Chris Brown’s comments.It appears all about confidence at this point. He’s physically ready but not mentally.
IMO, it’s time he plays or goes on IR. And that is no bash on White. It’s just time to lace them up because the team needs you and you are physically ready or look forward to next season if he can’t mentally get over the hurdle.
One or the other.
Don't you think the team would rather get him back in a couple of weeks potentially and deal with any negatives (like fans being whiny *****; roster moves) until then?
Don't you think the team would be weighing everything on a week to week basis and would make the best decision for the team?
Glad you aren't the decision-maker, willing to IR someone who could help you down the stretch and who may be available in the coming weeks.
In your words, he has to play or be placed on IR. this is simply wrong. And idiotic.

...because some dumb member of the cleveland browns took a late swipe at Josh's elbow.

Its just totally strange we all kind of joked about Davis being on the hands team for the first onside kick and low and behold he almost blows it for us on the second one. You almost cant make this ***** up.
That was a wicked bounce. I don't blame him. I dont think he could have gotten to it before the bounce either.

J. T. O'Sullivan breaks down latest game (28 mins)
-Damnnnnn.. That camera angle around the 10 minute mark from behind Josh when he throws to Diggs and Diggs makes the great one handed catch, damnnnn. Poetry! and you can see how close it could have been to disastrous, as some other throws were).
-For the lil Dirty haters, go to ~16 min mark. This may be the most I've seen JTO criticize a player of the Bills on any given play in the couple of videos he has done.

There’s been a soccerizing of N. American sports.
They almost all cry after calls and plays regularly.
Theres whining in every sport.
Id agree with you that the flopping has increased in NBA and college basketball (has NBA been better recently?)
But i dont see it as something new or increasing in the NFL.
And i love soccer, but cannot stand the flopping.

I take Josh at his word and think it was a meaningful admission a couple of weeks back when he said he is going to be dealing with the elbow issue for the foreseeable future.
Doesn't mean I expect losses! But I think it is an important factor and something that makes me nervous for the rest of the season and in the offseason when I'm expecting a surgery to be scheduled (shortly after he hoists the Lombardi).
