Again: most of these teams are owned by family offices, which, if you’ve ever worked with them, you know how dysfunctional they are. Basically they’re inbred businesses. Totally backwards-thinking, reactionary, clueless, unaccountable. The type of business that puts out a slideshow with “preserve our lifestyle” as a stated goal, with a picture of a yacht. They’re all bad - it’s just a matter of degree.

Josh definitely wanted to go to Diggs initially (he had a 1v1 with a linebacker), recognized it was Hole coverage and knew that the backside double Posts would beat the Cover 3 look as Kincaid was running the collector route (inside post to occupy the Safety) and Shakir would have inside leverage on an in-breaking route vs the corner. Just good recognition and a great job going through his progressions - understanding the coverage and what we were doing offensively that would attack that coverage.
Also want to shout out Diggs and Davis on the earlier touchdowns. Neither of them had the sexy stat line, but they both did a lot of the dirty work. Diggs picked Mosley on the Cook touchdown in order to allow Cook to be wide open, and Davis sold the hell out of a crack block on the flat defender on the touchdown to Johnson completely eliminating him from the play and then hustled down field to shove and shield the corner who was covering him vertical so that he couldn't make a play on it either. HUGE play that will go completely unnoticed by the public.
Yeah Davis made Johnson’s TD happen almost single-handedly. On the Cook TD, I thought Diggs easily could’ve been flagged. -

No, his favorite band is the Replacements. And the Residents - the band you're referring to above - don't suck (check out The Rutles movie and you'll see). Anyway, the Residents and the Replacements bear no resemblance to each other. And the Replacement's decidedly don't suck, despite the fact that their second release (an EP) was entitled "The Replacements Stink": https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stink_(EP).
The Residents don’t suck but demand an amount of patience beyond what 99% of music listeners can provide. They are more expression than music. The Replacements either suck terribly or rock your earballs, depending on what night you got to see them. The Rembrandts - no opinion. They’re irrelevant.As for the Ruttles, I saw them once, not on purpose and never again. I would characterize them as “anthropological.” Did not enjoy.

Holy CRAP that is what Rob Boras sounds like? THAT DUDE should be the one mic’d up every single week.
Also, watching this, Knox needs to come back so that Kincaid can be moved farther away from the trash inside near the LOS. He’s too valuable to be doing so much dirty work, he’ll get rolled up on eventually. Gotta protect that asset.

I’ve only made it through the first half but so far every concept I saw we’ve run before so not sure what he’s referring to.
You refer to the motion as “window dressing” but from what I could tell, they were actually using the information they got from the defense as a result of it, which seemed to be an issue under Dorsey. -

For those with Athletic subscription, there is a great article on his accident and rehab.

😂😂it didn't deserve anything more
The people like you and @GunnerBillwho treat every individual game as a symptom are hilarious to me. Not only because the NFL and the Bills in particular just do not operate that way, but because the predictability of the criticisms of 'he must have mental issues and/or dire romantic entanglements' and 'hE's NoT puTtiNg iN the oFfsEasoN wORk' in games the Bills lose are only matched by the softening of the narrative in games they win...wherein Allen actually does well...which must mean he has in your mind resolved these issues...for just one week until they lose again lol. You guys must be exhausted.
I see you’ve got family in town for the holidays. Good luck! -

Hey, I like the Brady hiring because I think he has a great foundation.......but he was definitely terrible in Carolina. I remember watching it and thinking how idiotic some of the calls were for such a hot commodity at OC. That's why he didn't get another OC job right away. It was brutal. It would be a mistake to think they just hired a guy who can take his and beat yours or yours and beat his at this stage in his career. He's a work in progress and he claims that he now knows that he has to tailor his offense around the players instead of his scheme.
As was Dorsey a work in progress.........who some team will eventually hire as an OC and their fans will be ecstatic because he was Josh Allen's QB coach and his offensive production has been so great (as opposed to Daboll who was league worst the first 3 times he was fired as an NFL OC). And Dorsey will likely address the complaints about his work at his next job. First time OC's don't usually get to take over SB contenders and rookie one's basically NEVER get to a SB. You gotta' go back to Mike Holmgren with the 49ers in the 1980's and that was taking over an offense that had just won the SB the year before.
Ultimately, I think Dorsey mostly just got caught up in Josh stuff. Josh injuries. Josh drama. Josh immaturity. Josh f*cking off offseasons. Players following Josh's sadness lead this season. Josh is the sword that the OC will live or die by and they needed to do something to get Allen focused and excited about the project. Hopefully it lasts and they can build off of it.
It may be as simple as Allen needing to better understand the WHYs. Allen's generation doesn't like to work for the sake of working - they want to understand why they're being asked to do something. You need them to understand the goal and how the work relates to that goal in order to get their buy-in. Maybe Brady can do a better job explaining to Allen the various WHYs, why we need to study tendencies on film all week, why we need to take the dump-offs for the first few quarters until the safeties move up, why we are running specific plays at specific times etc. If Allen feels like he's "just running the plays that are called" and doesn't understand or believe in the WHYs, he's simply not going to be close to his best self.
Just a theory.

I was pleased with the simplicity of the play calls and the fact that it seemed like there were actual plays, not just rules keyed off of what the defense was doing. The offense as a whole was doing too much thinking on the fly under Dorsey, and for whatever reason (probably a variety of reasons) it wasn't working. Yesterday it seemed like actual plays were being called to target specific situations.
They still have a lot of work to do with their redzone offense, where everything is compressed and execution needs to be tighter. And none of the playcalls would've mattered if the offensive line wasn't winning at the LOS yesterday which for the most part they were - it was an impressive show of strength against a great front seven.

They won both lines of scrimmage. Basically it’s that simple.

What’s happening in Gaza is Allen’s fault, too.

food for thought that I hadn't considered before today
in a battle of wills that would eventually decide who stays and who goes, could Allen potentially lose out to McDermott?
Zero percent chance of that. Opening a new stadium and you’re gonna sell fans McD instead of JA17?-

McDermott is usually very reserved and doesn't typically comment on his players' mental states like this.
He is starting to socialize his excuse narrative.-

Yea I give him credit for working his way up, for making himself into the QB he was in 2020- half 2022. Lazy bums don't do that. He is certainly has some share of blame to take. Absolutely not denying that and he needs to again work his way back up.
As for Dorsey, haven't you ever known a girl/guy for a while, start dating him/her and then realize he/she is actually a controlling psycho (female canine)?
It’s not binary either lazy or not. It’s a question of complacency. Allen took his foot off the gas this season - it happens. Lots of folks have quite quit during the past couple of years. It’s understandable but not excusable. -

I really wonder if Allen started getting disillusioned with Dorsey last year and gradually became de-motivated. I really don't think a person who showed himself to be so driven to succeed 2019- mid 2022 suddenly became lazy and complacent. I said in a different thread that my speculation is that much of Allen's decline could have come from a poor relationship with Dorsey the OC.
I am happy to see his protection has improved and with Kincaid and Shakir coming along, his receiving options have improved from last year.
This will not turn around over night. Mental issues take time to sort out. I will rabidly root for the rest of this season but I am mentally prepared to this being a lost season with missed playoffs. When in itself is a travesty for an Allen led team
You are giving Allen wayyyy too much credit.When the Cardinals were putting a study clause into Murray’s contract nobody was defending him as being “disillusioned with his playcaller.” And Allen picked Dorsey in the first place. It was supposed to be Allen’s guy coordinating Allen’s offense.
Allen 100% has become complacent. It’s been obvious all season that he’s not putting in the work.
Allen is making tens of millions of dollars. He’s single. He loves to party (have seen enough smoke here). He doesn’t love film study and believes his athletic ability will let him figure things out after the snap.
I can understand it all and I love the guy but let’s not make excuses for him. He just got his OC fired. Time for him to take life a little more seriously if he truly wants to be great. Allen’s entire approach this season has been “f— around and find out” and he just found out. These are peoples’ livelihoods at stake.-

Do you watch the rest of the NFL? How many QB's don't get pressured in the pocket? None. The excuse that Allen's mechanics are poor because he doesn't trust the protection is at best a ridiculous excuse. His pass pro is at worst league average this season.
Yeah, that's not it. His mechanics are poor IMO because he's reading the field late, post-snap, then hurrying up his throws once he finally "sees it." That's also causing drops, because he's firing it in there so hard to make up for the processing delay.

We didn’t really blitz a ton in the game. It was a lot of 4 man rushes with poor lane integrity. However the way I see it you had two options. Pressure and hope to get home again or rush four and sit back and play coverage. They were out of field goal range so they had to run some type of drop back concept and they did, 3 verts. Taron got beat at the collision point playing catch man and Russ under threw the crap out of the ball because of the pressure. It happens, but that doesn’t make it a bad call.
Couldn’t tell you, but I do know that usually when you don’t give a quarterback a lot of time to make a decision good things usually happen. This time it didn’t. That’s football.
Don’t have a huge issue with the call but generally speaking the blitz yesterday wasn’t working. They weren’t getting home and weren’t covering tight behind it. In hindsight it likely wouldn’t have mattered bc they weren’t rushing to the proper depth in their non-blitz situations anyhow.
Shaq Leonard released.
