    Agreed that those throws shouldn't have been made, but if a receiver isn't going to fight for a deep ball he shouldn't be on the field.  I don't think it's reasonable or realistic to say that if a QB makes a bad decision he shouldn't be out there (although if he keeps making 5 bad decisions a game, he'll be gone soon enough.)

     

    I'm all for bringing Duke up and letting Zay go.

    A few of those could have been incomplete if Zay just fights for the ball.  Heck, interfere with the DB if you have to, do anything but what he has done on those throws.

  2. The thing that concerns me is that he reverts really easily to bad habits.  I'm not just talking about the hero ball stuff he does.  Yesterday his mechanics were awful and it showed in his accuracy.  Back foot throws, his shoulders flying open, he was missing really short throws to the flat, he was missing over the middle, he was just scattershot outside of 1 drive in the 3rd.

    I'd say Daboll's playcalling was responsible for the anemic 1st half. 

     

    I'll wait until I see more on All-22, but I though Daboll was being too cute in the 1st half.  I thought that they had too much motion to try to catch Jets off balance, but the Bills never snapped the ball to exploit the mismatches.   In the first drive, a split out DiMarco was wide open for a while, but Jets recovered before the snap. 

     

    My problem is that Daboll kept going back to that formation throughout the game, even as the Jets caught on.   I understand that Daboll is trying to set the offense for the rest of the year, and hopefully they'll be able to exploit this movement once the offense gets more comfortable, but this was also  game where the opponent had a very weak secondary, and Daboll didn't do enough to expose the real weakness.   This game should not have been this close.

    I wonder how many of those were called run plays that Allen audibled out of.... he was changing calls at the line a lot the first few drives.

  4. I hope this is true.  For the last 20 years I've been watching the Bills get quick snapped, stuck in bad personnel groupings, 12 men on the field, QB sneaked, bubble screened and however many other nuanced ways the Patriots have taken advantage of the Bills old school thinking.  it would be nice to watch innovation happening from our sidelines for a change.   Throw in a 300 yard passing performance on offense and my head might explode.
