I'm pessimistic. Even if we squeak into the playoffs I don't see us matching up with top playoff teams. Coaching, injuries, average drafting relying on heavily on FAs every year. Just not a recipe thats maintainable and I believe this year its all coming home to roost

That must of been a good time. I'd love to crack a beer with Fitz and Woods

I've definitely done my share of shows. 80 Grateful Dead/JGB shows with Jerry about 20 Phish shows, Moe Galactic KDTU most of those 60s and 70s bands etc... etc... I did Phish in NJ in 2010 then went to see Warren Haynes at Mountain Jam for 5 days after that.... I was toast for a couple of weeks after that run

Haven't seen him play yet... I have been on hiatus from live music for a few years. Mostly because I'm trying hard to retire early so I can go see more live music and not have to worry about Monday's But I've been tuning into him for a few years

Billy Strings is fantastic.

I can picture in my mind a world without war, a world without hate. And I can picture us attacking that world, because they'd never expect it.

One thing kids like is to be tricked. For instance, I was going to take my little nephew to Disneyland, but instead I drove him to an old burned-out warehouse. "Oh, no," I said, "Disneyland burned down." He cried and cried, but I think that deep down he thought it was a pretty good joke. I started to drive over to the real Disneyland, but it was getting pretty late.

I agreed to both of your posts. There is truth is both statements

Dorsey is not the right OC for a QB like Josh IMO. Yes he expects it but is it happening ? I honestly gave my opinion and that is not going to change unless some how it magically fixes itself, but then we will see lots of changes into how we gameplan and scheme which backs my point. Josh can read D's just not at the highest level of other HoF QBs who were masters at the pre-snap read and Dorsey needs to do something differently. Josh does his best when he is allowed to let plays develope. Our OL / pass blocking is an issue which keeps Josh from being Josh. The quick passing game the Bills try to run just does not produce consistent results When Josh is tasked to make the quick throw we have seen him muscling the ball between 3 defenders many times. Pre snap read should be able to find an open receiver with more space.

The offense has issues but I agree we would most likely be 6-1 or at least 5-2 with a fully healthy D Unfortunately every team needs to have depth and coaches who can scheme a team to play better when the inury bug hits.

All these compalints about receivers RBs blocking OL schemes and Josh's struggles all have 1 common denominator

Improve a bit, but he will never excel at it comapred to those who turned that ability into muliple SB appearances and wins Thats my opinion and its why I feel Dorsey is the wtong OC for a QB like Josh

or maybe he needs puppy uppers

He isn't. Just like 99% of QB that ever play the game don't have that ability at that level. You act like anyone on the planet can do anything if they just focus. People have different strengths and different abilities, and some people don't have any. It is what it is. Josh will never be a presnap quick pass QB anywhere near the levels of Brady or Montana IMO But give Josh time with superior blocking and he will make teams pay.

Random Talking Head

thats ok. You can have your feelings IMO chances are slim to none and slim is packing their bags. I said I would make my call in mid October, so I did. Its my call and nobody elses. I stick by it

Yes but if he has time he has time. He is never going ot be the QB that pre-reads and make plays like consistently like some great QBs do in that type of offense

.I said before the season by mid October we would know what this team was going to be. There is a chance of making the playoffs ZERO chance of going to or winning the SB IMO

Unfotunaltey money spent does not translate to a the OL we would like to see. Dawkins is average, and coming in to camp out of shape is no good. RT is ugly. Our center does ok but is not a stud either. the line is improved but still not good enough obviously. Josh needs more time and better overall pass blocking. Or he needs to be able to master the quick passing game by indetifying the D pre-snap. We have heard he doesn't do a lot of film study and that is because thats not his strength. Therefore you have to playt to his strengths, and that is something Beane and comapny are not very good at

If Josh has time to let plays develop he can pick apart teams. Its the quick passing game up tempo Offense that most of the NFL uses that is not Josh's strength IMO. Josh is never going to be a Brady who was a master at pre snap reads Receivers have more time to get speration with a stronger OL and pass blocking in general. Josh can find open receivers better.

Josh has never been quick to go through progressions. I beleive Dorsey's offence needs a QB who can disect a D before the snap and to go though progressions quickly. Which is why the lack of any serious investment in the OL and the over focus on DL has been questioned by many of us

Ken is Oil Josh is water. Dorsey could be a solid OC but Josh is the wrong QB for that Offense

I say its time... I would start trading away pieces that won't be here next year before the trade deadline. There is NOTHING that will change this season. Too many injuries to key players and a serious disconnect between Dorsey and Josh. None of this is fixable this year IMO.

Dorsey is pure X's and O's Josh is not. Dorsey may be a solid OC for a QB who can dissect a D quicky but Josh is a QB that does best off script. There is a serious disconnect...

how could you fit that under the salary cap ? or the rookie pay cap ?
