josh was just unprepared and impatient. immature is the best description i've seen of him. he was told what to do, he knew what he had been doing was failing, but, once the rubber hit the road, he did the thing that he did before and not what he was told to do. It's pretty clear at this point that Josh is not good at reading defenses. the safety picking him off 3x means he basically didn't see the guy 3 times. part of reading a d is moving one's eyes away from the disadvantage match up towards the advantage match up. Josh sees a match up he wants to work (deep ball, etc) and stares and process it looking for a way to make it work. the tight ends running open, even diggs open shorter on the one pick, he simply doesn't move towards them enough. I think he (perhaps subconsciously) just decided to play that way after the drive we scored a FG on early (where it was 4 and 2 and mcdermot kicked, which i don't have a beef with). he threw the ball a tad late to the rb who ran a long way on third and long but ended up just short. IMO this and a couple other plays like that lead josh to saying "ok, i tried the game plan on 3 or 4 snaps, and it was close but didn't get there, so now im justified in just doing my own thing" in his head. there is something wrong w our play design/what josh is reading tho because we were so so bad on 1st down. 1st down is max advantage for the O, but either the jets baited us like masters (lol) into getting sacked and making mistakes, or we just aren't doing something right as a team there.

we were 7-6 13 games into dabol's last year hear, and that includes him getting totally outcoached by urban friken meyer. it's possible daboll is just better than dorsey, its also possible they both suck. the willies and the joes matter much more than the x's and the o's, and we were set up to win monday night and josh allen just delivered four abortions. we can get right this week vs the raiders.

the more i read about this, the more i think (and it's still not really clear to me) that trotter thinks he's got something on jones (i dunno if it's true or whatever, maybe it is) and the pegula thing and perhaps some other stuff in there is just padding to make it more of a bombshell. this reminds me of like lore of old famous people or athletes and so on. some interesting thing will happen and the story will get told and that interesting thing gets a little more interesting over time and other details get magnified and even changed over time. it isn't even necessarily anyone being dishonest, or at least not intentionally dishonest, its just people remember the lore more than the event itself, even if it was on camera or what not. goes to show the value of building and reinforcing a narrative. if we don't have hard evidence and tests for the validity of things, perception can be and is (in many cases) much more important than reality.

the savage irony of you posting about not understanding growing up cuts deep.

dorsey is not great, and he's not good so far this year, but lets not pretend dabol won us a chip or something. the total performance 2021 vs 2022 on O was about the same. we just had less vol in 2022 so we won more games. in our first two losses, we simply had too many red zone turnovers, so dorsey changed it up some and we got less. it was more boring at times but the results were decent. the one thing i'd put on dorsey last night was how we got smashed on 1st downs WAYYYYYYYY too much. being behind the sticks was a bad look for us. the rest of it is all allen. we are gonna figure out the O as we go along, new players all over the pitch and all, but being a spaz in a game where your D is basically dominating is totally uncalled for. the only real same issue we had was some bad run fits (tre white is kinda washed IMO) and allen just ignoring open guys to throw deep picks and then panic fumbling.

presuming that what the article said is true, would this suit not have to basically prove that the NFL investigation was just a cover up and lied by saying that? what you typed reads like trotter heard a dude say something ABOUT a zoom call that dude was on. as opposed to heard dude allege on a zoom call that he heard something some other way. if the supposed comment by pegula was on a zoom call, and it got investigated, then it should be pretty black and white (har!) because there would be notes and a recording and all kinds of stuff.

i think this is a factor here. i remember the documentaries about the bears in 85 and how ditka went mad hollywood and it just blew the team up. not saying allen is like that or that bad, but if you're profile goes from "he's a bust" to getting 8/9 figures for ads, you better not drop an ounce of effort form "the process". diggs was there to make josh who he is, so if he's loosing his gourd over that, i totally understand. that whitlock narrative is gonna get hotter and hotter until josh shows improve.

anything is possible, but after gruden got taken down, and that was him red handed with emails (LOL, so boomer) that someone was sitting on for a while, i just don't know how the nfl media reporter, who is willing to say this outloud on a zoom call (which you presume is recorded, you'd have to think reporters would know that), would not leak this or report it themselves. i suppose this could be how that got leaked/reported or whatever, but it just seems uncanny.

so trotter is saying that he (trotter) heard some person (nfl reporter) say in a zoom call that pegula said this? is there (according to the article or whatever) a recording of this call, the name of the person who said they heard pegula, or any details of when/where pegula said this? i've got to think if an nfl reporter heard pegula say that, especially in like summer of 2020, it woulda come out, no? also, is there a requirement for trotter to disclose who he heard this from, and when/where the call was?

dalton was open (and obviously so) several times, including on two of the horrible allen turnovers. allen just needs to NOT force the ball downfield, especially to trash like davis (i can live w the odd ball forced to diggs) and we walk away nice and easy.

was that bomb the first one? if so, i disagree, because he was able to trot for a 1st and more. he showed no awareness.

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.
