Josh has regressed
I know I keep saying it, but it's annoying because physically he is MVP. He's probably the most rounded football player to take to the field. But when it comes to the mental side of being a QB he struggles more often than not. He chases the buzz of the big play, he fails to read defenses too often, he fails to take easy plays which often results in a missed play. He has so much potential and, despite the stats, there is more to be tapped. I think it starts with a focused close season.

If anyone can, great, bring him in. If that person can be found, this is still a Josh issue.
It is a Josh issue, but where players have issues it is down to coaches to help sort them out, unless they are simply not fixable. If so, no one - including Josh - will be able to do much about it.-

That we will agree on the losses this year have been a little bit of everything although the special teams issues yesterday made that game closer then it was again
I'm pretty sure the Bills would have beaten the Jags at OP. Annoying to think they may lose out on the play offs based on Goodell's experiment.

That’s Josh, not the OC. Actually, not Dorsey either.
Though the Bills need an OC who can sit down with Josh and mentally beat that into him. They haven't had one to date.

Just remember if they miss the playoffs it wasn’t him that left 12 men on the field against Denver
True. Though it could be argued the offense on that day allowed the Broncos to hang around. As they did in Foxborough, albeit the defense also made Mac Jones look like Dan Marino. Then there's the Jets in week one...
I'd say the Bills beat themselves in every game they've lost this year excluding the Jags (happy to accept them having one further week in London to adjust was key) and the Eagles (that field goal was ridiculous).

Jackson won the MVP this afternoon. I agree, I don’t think he’s the Most Valuable Player.. even on his own team. But beating SF in San Jose and destroying the Dolphins with 300+ and 5 TDs to clinch 1 seed. Yeah, that’s over.The Ravens beat the 49ers because of Purdy's meltdown/their defense. Jackson did what he had to do. Would still say Hill or McCaffrey are more deserving of the accolade over the season as a whole.

Disagree his team fails him way more than he has ever failed his team. Like I said for those of us that went through the EJ Manuel and Jeff Tuel and Trent Edwards years he makes this franchise a joy to watch when he calls it quits I’m probably done with the bills and watch my wife’s team the cowboys instead at least I know the refs are in their back pocket.
Before this season I would agree, for the most part, but this year he's been more responsible for struggles than before - especially in the divisional games against the Pats plus the defeat to the Jets.

imagine possibly being the greatest in the world at what you do and some schlub talking about your major issues.That's the annoying thing. Physically he is the greatest in the world. I'd argue that against anyone trying to say otherwise. But there are too many missed reads and too many bad throws to say that side of the game matches up. Would I change him? No. Has he has issues this seaso? Definitely.
In his defence, so has Mahomes and interestingly both have come about after a drop off in production from their number one receiver.

Has this been confirmed?
Because Sal Capaccio ran around all week in each of his 586 appearances on WGR telling me not to believe anything I see on Twitter, that nobody knows the schedule, even his buddy at NFL headquarters.
I'm still waiting for the official release on Tuesday or Wednesday.
It was announced during the Packers-Vikings coverage.

I rewatched the game, I thought the passing game was fine. In my opinion, the Patriots have a very good defense.
Haven't re-watched but on first look thought it was dreadful in the first half and ok in the second. Nowhere near where it should be considering Josh's undoubted physical attributes, though.

Imagine being Josh you have 42 total touchdowns you’ve literally set a few records this year that no QB has and somehow people are wondering what’s wrong with you?
Dude makes this franchise so much fun I may just quit watching the Bills when he retires.If Josh doesn't know why people are wondering what's wrong with him then he has little to no chance of winning a ring. Because he has major issues at the moment. Thankfully, I think he realises it.

Bills defense- getting better
Special Teams-improbing
Offense- regressing dramatically.
Josh is like 2018 Josh.
53 rating.
if Bills are down 2, with 2 minutes left Sunday- I’m not confident Bills offense can drive and score 3 points.
Considering what has happened this season, I am confident the Bills would drive down the field in about 90 seconds and get at least three. I am also confident the defense would then allow the Dolphins to get what is needed within the remaining 30 seconds.
Game balls:
Josh - poor passing performance but did enough to get the win... just
Kincaid
Martin
Douglas
Oliver
Bernard

Early Sunday morning game sucks. After all us Brits have done for the game over the last few years
this is how we’re repaid? Thanks for nothing, Rodger.
I’m not even gonna give @chongli a “cheers” on his TV maps post this week. That’s how miffed I am.
I'd already seen this one coming. Booked next Monday off the moment the schedule came out. Had a feeling a lot would be riding on it so it'd get switched.
Saying that, whilst I understand why it's Sunday night, I sort of expected it to get Saturday night. There's a possibility that the risk is lower on Sunday - if either the Steelers or Jags lose then the Bills have at least made the Play Offs before the game begins. Obviously, if both win then the jeopardy is upped a notch but, with one or two defeats, it will be lowered.
Just hope either the Titans or Ravens can do us a favour.

Yes well we hit on Kincaid. But he’s yet still not the focal point. Everyone is to blame.
Have to wonder if the timeout today - when the Bills went shotgun on 3rd (or was it 4th) and short, and McDermott then seemingly stopped play and asked for a change in call - is the moment he started wondering if Brady is the man.
Everything on offense is a shambles at the moment, and has been for much of the season. The reason is surely deeper than one player or co-ordinator.

Saturday night would be bad for the Dolphins. One less day to get guys back from injury. I expect the league to give both teams the full week for this.Would make more sense to give the Texans and Colts a full week, as it is all or nothing for both, whereas the Dolphins are in the Play Offs.
Plus, if the Jags or Steelers lose, then the jeopardy isn't quite so great on the Bills. Play on Saturday and it's win or sweat it out through Sunday.

Either that or Houston vs. Indy. That is an actual playoff game. Win and you are in.
Bills could clinch a playoff spot before Sunday night. That said: it still would be for the 2 seed. Bills are a popular team so they'll be on
It'd make sense to have Bills-Dolphins on Saturday night, so it'd have an all-or-nothing vibe. By Sunday night, the Bills could be in whatever happens.
Being five hours ahead, Happy New Year from the UK!

Debatable.
But does the point stand? Do they want to see us? Or Mason Rudolph?
Being divisional rivals, they may fear the Steelers slightly more than they otherwise would. At the moment, they'd see the Bills as beatable.
It's funny how we've been claiming the NFL has been becoming an offense league when, actually, so many teams have been relying on their defense to get themselves into this position.

Why risk hurting them in a meaningless game? They have the 1 seed locked up. Win or lose changes nothing for them.
In 2020 the Ravens rested their starters in the final week of regular season, came out flat and promptly lost to the Titans two weeks after. They won't want to repeat that trick. I think the starters will take some snaps, albeit perhaps only for a half.
Far more likely, unfortunately, that the Browns will field back ups against the Bengals.

You got it. Nobody wants Bills in the playoffs. We’d be AFC Favourites.
The Ravens would be AFC favourites, and rightly so.

Funny how last week everyone was rooting for the Steelers over the Bengals. Now with hindsight, it’s looking like it might work out that the Bengals winning that game would help the Bills.
The Bengals would be ahead of the Bills in the conference and the Bills would still have to win, otherwise the winner of Texans-Colts would leapfrog based on division/conference record. All it'd do is rule out the Steelers, but the issue would still be there.

I don't know how the tie breakers would work out they split with them didn't they?
Broncos would take it on divisional record (4-2 to 3-3).

Can the broncos win the division?
Yes, if they win out and the Chiefs lose out.

That’s the thing about Josh and Patrick they have really sluggish games then at any moment they do stuff like that
That's the risk, from an opposition's point of view, with both of them. They can be bottoming out and having a nightmare yet both pull a magical play out of nowhere.

Steelers fans must be pretty irate over wasting a couple games with Trubisky when the answer was in the building.
I think they were irate whilst it was happening.

QB controversy in Cincy?
😉
Someone else said it; think this shows Burrow isn't as good as many make out. He is a product of the system and receivers.
1 minute ago, Scott7975 said:That would be hilarious but raiders lost today so the only way that happens is if Chiefs lose both games and Denver wins both games.
Broncos currently up on the Chargers. But they'd then be relying on the Chargers to beat the Chiefs in LA whilst they win in Vegas.

Would Bucs at Panethers get the alternate team considering there is something riding on the game, whereas there isn't anything on Broncos at Raiders?
