On to Minnesota (get this game in the rear view mirror!)
UKBillFan replied to Chandler#81's topic in The Stadium Wall
We're missing half a team, they're missing two players. I don't like this trade off. 😂 I think White could suit up. -
Why oh why are we not establishing a running game ?
UKBillFan replied to Returntoglory's topic in The Stadium Wall
A running game opens up the field for passing as defense have to stop the run plays, and also takes pressure off Josh if he's having a bit of a slump. And we've seen before this season the run game work in the first half and we, for some reason, abandon it in the second. For contenders, it is always an option to keep defenses guessing. -
How much on Sunday will be an evaluation of Brandon Beane?

The support for Dorsey will obviously be in correlation to how the offense looks. We started well but, since the bye, have become more reliant on big plays and avoiding the dink and dunk. I'm not sure why but it's been to the detriment of the offense. -

If purely Josh is missing, and we look a mess on offense, then it will not reflect brilliantly on building that side of the ball. The defense looks like it will be missing a few key personnel so will be difficult to judge. -
Using Josh situationally while his elbow is <100%

Perhaps we should dress Josh as a running back? 😄 -

I’d be surprised if any of the DNP’s from today play on Sunday. Wouldn’t be shocked if White appeared, though. We have another Thursday game after the Lions, against the Pats. The ten day break is after that. -
The defense was weakened with injuries and kept them to two touchdowns - on both occasions they were not solely at fault for them. The last drive was gut wrenchig, yet, but even then they stopped them with a field goal. I agree we cannot afford to defend in that manner against stronger sides than the Jets. But. purely reflecting on Sunday, the defeat was not down to the defense. The offense had far more issues, especially considering they had less injury problems on the day.

We could do with the bye now, rather than in week seven. -
In fairness, only the past five quarters. Josh's ceiling is massively higher than Keenum so clearly he'll be a huge loss.
-
That’s one of the silver linings. The other silver lining, as said before, could be Josh gets to shake his head and work through the funk he’s in by watching the game. I’m not much less confident in winning on Sunday with Keenum than I was with Josh, considering his plays over the past five quarters.

We gave him options for a short passing game in the second half against the Packers and the Jets. For the most part he didn't take them and it cost us. Just like defense, the issue is execution over play calling. We could arguably let off the defense considering how it's decimated but a high calibre QB who had shown he'd developed his game away from that? I'm interested to know what happened in training between the Packers and the Jets considerirng the warning signs were present during the former. -

I agree regarding the lack of check downs and what really bugs is pre-bye he was doing this. I guess that’s why the Josh who appeared since the second half against Green Bay is so annoying - he seemed to have learned the lesson but has now regressed. -

I have a feeling that Josh trusts Diggs but that’s it. He’ll throw to the likes of Davis, McKenzie, Shakir and Knox if they’re there but they’re not his preferred option. Maybe the interceptions have re-enforced that in his mind.
