The Red King

If only we drafted a TE that could provide mid-field relief for Josh. Oh...wait...we did? Okay, if we only had an OC that would actually use that TE in that role...

Dorsey shows the same issue that Frasier did on the other side of the ball, the inability to adjust. Dorsey can make good schemes and when it works, it is wonderful to see. The problem is, if an opponent shuts it down he is either unable or very slow to adjust. That will cost them dearly against quality defenses that manage to figure us out. It's like running into a brick wall. Most of us would stop and find a way around. Dorsey just keeps ramming into it.

Dorsey needs to be fired into the sun. Knox needs to ride the pine once Kincaid is healthy. This game was a mess, but a W is a W.

What a play to break that up!

There's the laundry we were waiting for.

Wow, Daboll is laying into Tyrod!

Beane is getting weapons. Dorsey doesn't use them.

Dorsey needs to go. Now. Like right now. Like stuff him in a locker and let someone else call plays.

Dorsey needs to go. Immediately.

You can't critisize a D that has surrendered 6 pts. thus far, given TOP.

For all those thinking a FG is automatic, I refer you to the Browns/49ers game.

I forgot, when the Bills lose I'm not suppose to enjoy any aspect of the Bills' play at all. Let me guess, you got upset at people who said Josh played well during 13 seconds, too. 🙄 You know, there's a phrase you might not be acquainted with. Something about clouds and silver linings. You should look it up.

Topic of post: Isn't it great that Allen didn't go into sugar rush mode like he did in week one? I never said I wanted him neuteted. Since you're dancing around it... Do you think Josh should have played in sugar rush mode like in week one? If yes, you're delusional. If no, then you should be happy he wasn't in sugar rush mode. Whether he should have had more fire and less restraint is abolutely irrelevant. My post is specifically about the sugar rush mode he was in during week one, and did not go into Saturday. I commented on nothing else.

So...you want more of Week One. Gotcha.

None of which has anything to do with the OP. Was pointing out that in a situation where he frequently drops into sugar-rush mode and starts trying to force bad throws in, he did not this time. He kept his composure. That is all this thread was about. Just that aspect. I did not say a single word about his performance otherwise. There are already several threads debating his overall performance. Sadly, posters who want to complain about Josh's overall performance ignored that, hijacked this thread and made it just like all the others. This thread went off-topic a long while back.

Josh had three interceptions trying to force the ball into coverage, and a fumble late in the game. Yes, he single-handedly cost them the game by trying to do too much when he didn't have to.

Hero ball is Josh thinking he has to do it all himself. It leads to him running when he doesn't have to and forcing passes in that should never been thrown in the first place. Again, Week One. I can't make this any clearer. This should not be so difficult a concept. That aside, the people who ripped Allen for single-handedly blowing Week One due to hero ball are the same ones complaining that he should have played the way he did Week One? Ridiculous. This thread just proves that the Allen haters will find some reason to criticize him no matter what, even if the current reason makes hypocrites out of them.

First, five games is too soon to judge. Remember how Josh looked after five games? Second, Kincaid can't just invent his own routes. He's stuck with what Dorsey calls. You can't complain that a T-Bird hasn't been impressive if you only drive it 35 MPH through residential areas. That car is meant for the open highway. The problem is Dorsey.

To be clear, when I made this post I wasn't commenting on Josh's performance. There are enough other theads for that. This thread was specifically about Josh not playing hero ball in a situation he most likely would have before. And for the one asking what hero ball is, I'll just point to Week One.

Everyone yelled about sugar-rush Josh costing them Week One single-handedly. Now people are actually complaining that he didn't play like that on Sunday? Really?

Kinda lost in the mix...but when things went to crap and time was running out, some people worried about Josh going full hero ball. I'm sure he was tempted, but I'll admit I was a bit surprised to see he didn't. Maybe he actually took that Week One disaster to heart. Too early to tell, but Sun. was at least encouraging in that regard.

He can't throw it to himself. Blame Dorsey for mis-using him.

If the Bills make a play... Two Red Zone interruptions, saving 6-14 points. Wait! Um...uh...not THOSE plays. Um...those don't count! Because...reasons! Really?

Coming into yesterday, the Bills' defense surrendered an average of 12.25 points a game, and no more then 20 in any game. (Reminder, the Jets' final TD was given up by special teams). I fail to see anything of concern for them in those first four games.
