  1. For all you Franklin fan boys the guy had 11 TDs in the PAC 12 and is still on the board… why? Cause he runs one route and is soft at the point of contact. He’s a 5th round talent at best. McCaffrey little brother who is much slower got taken over him. Cause he runs more than one route. Watch some college ball and all of you Coleman haters are going to eat crow. Great draft so far.

  2. Just wait folks. You’re going to hear some stuff come out about Stef…for all of the throwing the ball with the kids prior to a game there was another side behind the curtain that Bills leadership and players dealt with to appease him. Paying a sum total of $30m to let him go to another team is glaring. I heard some of the antics were eerily similar to ABs time in Pitt. Small market media, good HC and QB kept things under wraps and defended him. Sound familiar? The gag order is gone, media can take the high road or let their side leak. Should be a fun few weeks.

  3. The pass rush has been very hot and cold all year. Especially with the injuries MCD has had to manufacture pressure and when it doesn’t get home it’s a big play. Jones was the catalyst of this defense and his presence in the middle was critical.

    Fully agree!  My fear was that if the ligament damage was a moderate to significant ACL tear, he would likely need to wait for the broken bone to heal before having surgery for the ACL. I'm not a medical professional, but my daughter tore her ACL 3 times.  PT in the first weeks after an ACL reconstruction is critical to recovery and I don't know how you do that with a broken leg. If this were the case, this could push the timing for his return well into next season. If it was only a MCL sprain, that would be really great news.

    He already had surgery if that means anything.

    Not a fan of Dorsey or the excuses he gets...but since the odds of him being replaced in season are so low, this is to focus on what he and the offense need to do to turn this thing around.  And with the injuries on Defense, we absolutely need the offense to be better.  This is ALSO assuming no trades, just working with what we have.   

     

    Well its not rocket science even though it seems hard for Dorsey to figure out who honestly just feels out of his depth right now from a coaching perspective.  So let me help him out...

     

    1. TURN JOSH ALLEN LOOSE! - This whole over correction after the Jets game is just as bad as the Jets game was.  
      1. Josh did NOT need to run less...he needed to take less hits.  
      2. Josh did NOT need to run less...we needed less called runs off the snap up the middle like a FB into the teeth of the defense.
      3. Josh did NOT need to run less...he needed to be smarter and not fight for extra meaningless yards once he made the play.
      4. The bottom line is that this was a MAJOR part of the NIGHTMARES that DC's had to defend against because he made you pay and pay bad when you didn't account for it.  Taking this out of his game has made Dorsey vanilla offense even easier to defend and its taken away Superman's cape to a degree.  Josh is more hesitant than I have ever seen him and it's because he is playing in a way to fight his own instincts.  When you have a talent as special as him, you live with the good and the bad because the good SUBSTANTIALLY out weights the bad.  
    2. SCRAP THE OVERUSE OF 12 PERSONNEL! - If we are not going to use the 12 personnel to put a ton of pressure on the defense and take advantage of mismatches, then STOP running it so much.  You are not Belichick, you have no clue how to utilize this to our advantage so stop over using it until you figure out how to make defenses pay with it.
    3. REDUCE DAVIS SNAP DOMINANCE! - There is absolutely no reason for Davis to have the most snaps on offense (96%), especially when he is producing so little with it.  
      1. Shakir is starting to earn more trust with the coaches and he is making key plays when given chances to do so.  His snap % has gone up every week since week 1 where it started at 10% and was 34% week 7.  HOWEVER...Davis snap counts are NOT going down, that means we are still limiting the other personnel to keep Davis on the field more.
      2. We need more snaps that have BOTH Shakir and Kincaid on the field more.  Let Shakir work the slot short stuff so Kincaid can hit the seem, midfield, etc and put more pressure on the defense.  Right now, Kincaid is seeing too much short underneath stuff and that is not what we drafted him for.  
    4. PUT JOSH UNDER CENTER MORE! - Geezus Dorsey, are you the only person who watches football that hasn't seen the significantly higher level of success and production when Josh is under center vs the shotgun????  
    5. STOP RUNNING SO MUCH OUT OF SHOTGUN! - As I already said above, this offense is so much better with Allen under center, and the play action has been a major weapon of this offense.  So start lining up under center and running the ball from there too so it only further helps sell the play action even more.  
    6. STUDY PHILLY QB SNEAK TUSH PUSH! - How are we not literally doing the same thing with Josh?  Yes we ran some sneaks, but they are not as good as Philly's and we don't do it often enough.  It should be a major weapon in our offense and practically immediate goto play with 1.5 yards to go or less.  
    7. MORE QUICK STRIKE READS! - Josh Allen again on Sunday was night and day better on drop backs where the ball came out quickly.  And I know there is more that goes into it than just saying more quick strike reads (guys got to get open, OL needs to do its part, Josh needs to make the right read, etc).  But its pretty easy to tell when that wasn't the type of call, like when Josh makes a deep drop and then you can see the first looks are downfield which take longer to develop.  
    8. THROW TO JAMES COOK! - There is no reason or excuse where James Cook shouldn't get at least 5 targets in a game.  Cook should be getting 18+ touches a game between running and receiving.  And despite being drafted to be a receiving weapon, Dorsey just isn't getting him involved enough in that area.

     

    I mean, this isn't rocket science.  It doesn't take a professional GM or OC to look at the tape and literally see Josh playing like he has some sort of speed restrictor on his gas pedal out there.  Don't get me wrong, taking what the D gives him is something Josh needed to be better about rather than always trying to buy time to find big chunk plays.  However, there has been a gross over correction now, especially in regards to Josh using his legs to make plays.  And honestly, go watch Allen highlights, its those plays where he runs someone over, stiff arms someone, etc etc that you will see Josh the most fired up.  He feeds off those moments and it brings him to another gear few players have.

    This is the take of everyone calling WGR. There are a lot of failures other than Dorsey. But this comes down to the HV wanting to run more 12 personnel for “balance”… this is all McDermott and Dorsey will get canned for it.

    All you white knights riding to Maddy’s defense can contribute to her Go Fund Me when she’s on the unemployment line.

     

    I have no idea if she’s good or bad because I don’t listen to Bills Propaganda Reporters (including Sal C). 

     

    What I do know is that if you are a paid member of a franchise’s media team you DO NOT trash the star players even in jest. 

     

    Why? Because some idiot will record it and post it on the internet and YOU become a key player in yet another franchise distraction.

     

    That’s a fireable offense. Period. Has nothing to do with how ridiculous the whole situation is (because it’s really nothing). It’s the sheer idiocy of putting yourself and the team in a bad light when you are PAID by the team.

     

     

    You must be a hoot at parties…take it easy.

    Last August Louis Riddick of ESPN said Trey Lance "is my long shot for MVP," "has the ability to take the league by storm," and "could have an All-Pro, legendary type of career."

     

    Trey Lance is now 3rd string on the 49ers behind Mr. Irrelevant and Sam Darnold.

     

    :lol:

     

    He’s made alot of bonehead boasts hence why he can’t get a serious look at a front office job.
