    This may be my least favorite aspect of McDermott as a HC. He always claims to not know anything about his teams injuries and ‘will have to wait until our medical staff evaluates him’. If this is the case, how come Rex started EVERY One of his pressers with injury updates??😡

     

    What would Belichik do....:doh:

    He missed time in 18 (broken leg) and 19 (hamstring). Now this injury.  

     

    He missed one game in 2019 (week 7 against Miami).   He probably could have played, but they didn't need him.   

     

    "He was able to log limited practices all week, but Buffalo has decided to err on the side of caution this week."

    I wonder

     

    ...about how people watch a game.   

     

    Darnold had no pocket to step up into throughout the game.    His eyes were often on the pass rush rather than downfield (unlike Allen).     That's a damn effective way to reduce any QBs effectiveness, let alone one susceptible to seeing ghosts...

    I am not surprised. I think through two years Darnold and Allen have been quite nip and tuck career wise. They were not yesterday.  There was a gulf. Allen had a career day, Darnold absolutely sucked.

     

    Good players develop with good teams and good coaching.    Good players don't develop with bad teams and bad coaching.

     

    It's as simple as that.   And there's a long list of failed Bills QBs that fit that mold as well...

  5. This aspect of Josh's personality is starting to get talked about around the league. 

     

    The CBS studio analysts said something to that affect yesterday (about his attitude / love of the game) and were very positive about it...

    Makes you wonder what Diggs saw in Kirk Cousins that he disliked so much.  They really didn’t seem to have the best relationship off the field.  Cousins does seem like a phony...I saw his act in DC, 

     

    As I read it, Diggs "beef" (if you can call it that) with Cousins was that he was "Captain Checkdown" and didn't throw the long ball enough.   He's in the perfect spot now with Josh and the Bills...

    That gets fumbles all the time when you get hit like that

     

    Can't rationalize this.  Josh knows he has a fumbling problem, but continues to not secure the ball well enough.

     

    His ball security was suspect a couple of more times in the second half, but he didn't fumble, so no harm-no foul.   But he has to do a better job or it will cost his team at some point...

  7. IMO, Josh needs to continue developing three things:

     

    1.   He's still a "see it, throw it" QB.    IMO, a lot of his accuracy problems arrise from "seeing it late" and not being properly balanced when throwing.   He needs to become more comfortable with being a "throw it on time and trust your receiver to be there" QB.

     

    2.   Get a louder mental alarm clock when standing in the pocket.   Drop back, 3...2...ball out.

     

    3.   Keep working on refining his natural "hero ball" tendencies.   Don't eliminate that aspect of his game, but better understand the tactical situation and when to "go" versus "no go."
