colin

I'm speculating here, but I think he's done a lot of ads and appearances and celebrity lifestyle stuff this offseason, and not enough preparation. he's not look as sculpted as he should, and he's clearly not sharp at all. he needs to be football obsessed and be fresh and prepped for everything. We know he's not a gym rat, but we can tell he's also not a film rat either based on him throwing the same type of garbage int to the same safety 3 times in a game. he doesn't have confidence in the guys around him or the scheme, but his answer to it is to be a spaz and fling the ball like a child. he's got to get deep into the nitty gritty to be the best he can.

As soon as we didn't get some 3rd downs (and we were close mind you) doing dink and dunk Josh decided he was just gonna play hero ball. 3 of the 4 turnovers were horrible decisions while not under duress, and he walked into pressure or left clean pockets other times. Dorsey has to figure out how to get the I working best, and he's no where near that yet, but Allen just not throwing those three horrible decision throws means we win walking away

We had (by my count) 3 drives which ended with great calls for underneath stuff that just fell short. Harris on the late RB screen, cook sweeping outside just getting solo tackled before the first, and another underneath throw I think to a TE that just came up short It seems like that was all it took for Josh to decide he has to make Madden highlight real plays and do it all himself. The first int was arrogant foolishness, he had a first and more but he still threw the ball, he was by himself. The second he had pressure in his mush, but it was still foolish as all get out, bad choice. The third was Davis running a bad route, but he had time to throw and diggs underneath for a year certain first down. The fumble that came immediately after the third pick was shocking. Total sugar high Josh taking his eye off the ball presnap and then running like a confused 8 year old into a mess. This was his worst game as a pro, he's the sole reason we lost. Of he just took the underneath stuff and ran when he saw a sea of green we are up 13-17 in the first half and walk away easy double digit winners.

C'mon, we lost because the jets do something simple and do it great: they dared Josh to throw deep while covering and tackling great. The underneath stuff was there all day, but it left us just shy of the first a couple times so Allen ate the cheese and pressed and made horrible horrible decisions. One int was thrown w a jet in his face, but the other three turnovers were moronic choices Allen made without heavy durress.

I'd really like it if Allen makes me eat my negative words.

Allen is all about saying aww shucks while doing national commercials, but he's not improving really, not since 2020/2021. He's not as dedicated as I once thought

Allen is folding

So, is Zach Wilson gonna be 2-0 vs Allen?

This is so billsy

Allen outright stinks tonight. He's not smart enough a QB to beat this jets d. They trap him over and over again.

The only reason the bills aren't up 20 points is self inflicted wounds. On d but mostly on o.

Bills 34, jets 24 late score by jets makes the score look better than the game.

allen is healthy, and we will get much more production from backs and ends, we win this walking away.

cornerback, left tackle, and nose tackle are three positions most impacted by the bill parcels planet theory: there are only so many people on the planet born with what it takes to play that position. no amount of training makes a guy 6'5+, giant framed, and just sturdy enough to play such a physical position like LT as well as be able to move. you might be able to get in better shape, learn and improve skills, and so on, but most guys who are athletically talented are not that big nor that sturdy, and there is a mentality to battling hard in the trench all the time too, you have to want to play the position at a high level. so once you filter for people who can even do that job at all, you are left with who is there, warts and all. and there is just a huge tendency for giant men who have to play a sport at a heavy weight to be big eaters and either unmotivated to train, or just really really happy to indulge in some rest and binge eating post season (or during season even). im somewhat disgusted by dion seeming like a chubby kid facing snax and being a sloppy fat body, but there just aren't that many humans who can do the job. similar for nose tackle, but they blow up in fatness even more often. for CB, there just aren't so many guys who can run like that and flip their hips and suddenly play to stop a guy from catching ball when they are at a disadvantage not knowing the route and timing. and also still have the confidence to do it again and again after getting burned. there are more corners of course, but their mistakes cost much more than a mistake by an LT or an NT. i was hoping spencer brown being an athletic freak of freaks would take the LT job from DD, but SB just seems to not have the skills to play tackle in the nfl (i really hope it was due to injury and nothing else last season). I remember we had a trash heap of an LT named mike gandy before. he went to the cardinals and actually started for them in the miracle season they had going 9-7 and losing to pittz in the super bowl (zona shoulda won). it just goes to show you can make it deep w some weak guys in important positions, which i hope isn't the case for us but might be.

we fall apart if allen falls off (basically injury), if the d just suddenly ages out hard, or if mcd truly was the issue w our d coaching all along. if allen keeps it crispy, if the d stays sharp, and if mcd brings the pain in the playcalls i think we have our magic season this year.

they look fine, and the retching and disgusted reactions are insane to me. how can you care this much? it's just a different combo of exactly what they always wear, it's not like there are zebra stripes or polka dots or some such. this board reads like my neuro-divergent nephew losing his mind over the color of the M&Ms in his bowl.

baltimore shoulda beat cinci when they had their ups driver back up, came down to some really lucky plays going the bengals way. might have changed how our season went too.

do you think some finance course will make a difference? these guys are selected for their ability to play a game, not for their smarts or wisdom.

if you adjust the bills results for how much money and other resources that we've poured into it, and look at the fact that we stat pad vs awful teams while getting the bum's rush at least once each and every year, i think you can conclude pretty clearly that frazier is in fact NOT a good coach, but actually a boring uninspired turtle of a man who's driving a race car like it's a well tuned KIA and tricking people into thinking he's mario andretti.

how is it possible to steal something that isn't economically scarce?

if we improve and win it all, it will because of two things 1) pass rush. we have two guys who did not play at the end of last year (floyd and von). if they are out there in the playoffs, it's a different story. other guys have to step up and be healthy and improve, but really it's down to those two guys. 2) being able to run w backs and pass to people other than wrs (namely diggs and davis), particularly out of 2 TE sets. the EP O is built with this in mind, and we haven't had a shadow of it even once since josh got here. w some bigger backs, guys like cook becoming actual weapons, and two TEs that present match up problems (obviously im counting on better interior blocking, but it just has to be ok or good, anything more is a bonus). throw in the allen and diggs combo, and you have a match up nightmare like the 2007 pats, there just aren't defenses out there that can handle that.

the bills come out showing lots of looks, EP offense finally has the weapons and blocking to run how it should. passing out of heavy formations and running into light boxes, the bills waltz down the field and take a 17-10 lead in the first half. the bills d does a little change up here and there and a few well timed aggressive calls gets the jets to turn the ball over. bills walk away 34 24, but the game isn't as close as the score.

trash blocking, zero power or receiving threat at rb, and short of knox, who is more athletic and explosive than set your watch to him consistent, look who was running routes. diggs, who's awesome but not tall and was doubled teams always, mckenzie who is awful, and the ghost of bease and brown. no other TEs in the room, no power back, adn no interior blocking. watching the back up qb run a 12+ play drive vs the jags in the playoffs for KC to get a nice short TD tells me everything i need to know about where our issues on offense are.

james cook for players who played last year. kinkaid for our new guys isabela as a dark horse. seems like he was over drafted, but speed kills.

tell that to the Caribbean lobster who won't stop serenading my wife every time she jumps in the pool!
