I haven't seen this mentioned in this thread yet. Dobler is a fellow UW alumni along with Josh. He played at Wyo during the Black 14 incident.

Week in and week out, I see WRs from other teams high point passes and win 50/50 balls. We don't have any of those WRs in our room. Diggs is one of the best route runners in the game, and effectively creates space. Davis just isn't good at creating space on his initial route. Nor is he good at high pointing a pass and coming down with those 50/50 balls. He's OK, but he's not where other #2s are. And that said, someone posted how the really good teams no longer have a #1 and #2, but rather have two #1s. Our Bills WR room is really weak in comparison to other top teams WR rooms.

As has been mentioned numerous times in this thread, doesn't this 41% include throw aways by Josh. I guess you can call that an "absolute miss" if you'd like. I think most see the significant difference, however, between an intentional throw away and an "absolute miss".

I don't think bad throws effect the catch percentage, right?

Okay

If we had Von Miller you wouldn't. Did I do this right?

I see the article about the 5 coaches picks - 3 picked the Bills, 2 picked the Bengals?

Ha, based on his win / loss percentage? As a great philosopher once said, "okay"

Or perhaps 10-3; or perhaps the Bills get a TO. Then the Bills get their 2nd possession of the game and again march down the field and score a TD, making it 10-10? Sample size is significantly much too small to do anything with. But keep trying...

I don't know what I don't know about McKenzie. I think Beas, Shakir and McKenzie assuming he's close to 100%. If not, then Brown.

While the mistakes you reference are accurate, only looking at the TOs is akin to only looking at the missed 3 pt shots in a basketball game. The Bills have a more aggressive game plan, a higher risk - a higher reward, philosophy. If one only looks at the higher risks (more TOs) and not the higher rewards (more TDs) they're missing half the equation. We're winning games; as many games as any team in the AFC. Perhaps the more aggressive play by Josh is working???

If you come to dislike Josh, it's your decision. Not anyone elses.

100% what it means

I see the line has moved to 5.5 at some places.

The Bills went up 17-0 and perhaps got complacent? Momentum turned and Bills struggled to get it back...but they did.

Allen was sacked, what, 7 times yesterday? Bengals beat up O line probably matches ours

I agree. Not all TOs are equal. A 55 yard pass that get's intercepted inside the 20 on a 3rd and long isn't much different than a punt.

I struggle to say the Ravens did much of anything effectively. Same with the Bengals, outside of that first quarter. I do agree with your last point though.

Exactly. Every member of this team, on both sides, contributes. What's pretty special about Allen is that he's got the mental and emotional skill to handle the pressure that falls on a QB. He's a tremendous leader. The going is getting tougher and everyone on this team needs to improve a bit, just a bit, for us to win next Sunday.

Bengal fans are saying the same thing about the Bills. This is playoff football. Every team still standing is dang good.

I see it the exact opposite. There's no one I'd rather have with the ball in a tough spot.

This is playoff football. Nothing should be unexpected.

I'd guess 2 vs the Bengals and 4 vs the Jags

Ha, love your thinking!

Correct. I responded to a post that said the Bills wouldn't be favored at home.
