Yes, they were contested and knocked out (and not drops) but could have been held onto. They need to take lessons from the guy who COULD hang onto contested catches today: Knox. Josh also seemed off. Not terrible...but not his best. I thought Davis made a couple very tough catches today as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't we release him like three games into the season, if I remember correctly. Hmmmm....... could of had Spain and Teller as our guards Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 Did we just have two sacks today? I thought we would have a huge day against their line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

First half yes, 2nd half not so much… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tierlifer Posted September 12, 2021 Share Posted September 12, 2021 The game had a bad vibe after settling for a FG after the 75 yard opening kickoff. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Folds under pressure can’t or doesn’t want to take the hits anymore. You obviously haven’t been paying attention as of late. Teams that can pressure him beat him… Theres a pretty big difference between throws balls erratically that are in the air for 20+ yards and the geriatric patient you're describing though lol I know a certain qb with an absolute cannon that has been known to do that as well 🤣 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills were off, they weren’t gonna go 17-0 anyway. My observations were that the ills that plagued them last season, continue. Good lord.

I concur with the dead arm assessment. And his arm gets deader as the season goes. The last two seasons he has actually played - 2020 and 2018 - have been consistent in that regard. Getting the Steelers week 1 was a bad scheduling break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Daboll could've called a decent game and we really wouldn't know. We could've ran the ball more and gotten absolutely stuffed...we'll need more games to tell more but the first couple weeks are pretty prone to flukes/rust 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably could have found someone better for the 5 million we spent on him too, even if it was at a different position. Feliciano isn’t worth a thing. Fake toughness doesn’t make a good blocker. One of the most overrated players I have ever seen. I agree he has always been overrated. The one thing he did have previously was power... although sketchy technique and lumbering speed. Having dropped the weight not sure if the power remains. 3 minutes ago, Generic_Bills_Fan said: Lol its tough to assign blame in a loss like that...plenty of drops...some missed throws.

When your line blocks like that there really are not many plays on your call sheet that look like good options. For example, everyone says run more screens... you need mobile linemen for well executed screens. By the time Cody Ford has got into position to set a screen up Josh would be on his back on the turf.

After a handful of games of this, I may agree. One game, especially the season opener, doesn’t tell the tale. Today the game plan wasn’t good, that’s for sure. I’ll be honest, if a couple of those BS penalties are not called and it’s a different game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But by week 12 last year his balls had very little velocity. He was fine early last year and fine today. But I doubt it looks as live post Thanksgiving.

It kind of works for him though because Claypool is an animal and would probably prefer a ball like that...our dbs were in position a lot of times and their wrs just went up and got it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
