Big Blitz Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 A + That was fantastic - and great adjustments in the middle of the 3rd quarter. You stuck with the run - some angry runs from Motor (he's the bell cow). 4 turnovers and still 31 points. Donald was invisible outside of 1 sack. Phenomenal job.

Billznut Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 I honestly think the Josh runs are going to be saved for big games and big moments as needed. Tonight was a BIG game for the Bills. I think that’s why we saw so much Josh running. I don’t think the plan is to do this week in and week out. 2 7 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The question is - how much of that is Allen improvising versus Dorsey calling a designed QB keeper?

Singletary is by far the best RB on the roster. I don’t mind a substitute here and there but he should be the clear RB1. Really liked the play calling but I agree with this. Motor was by far and away the best back. Sorry Moss & Cook, gotta earn those touches. Less mad about Cook even in spite of the fumble because I like McD giving him the chance. I think Moss should have less touches, he just doesn’t do it for me. 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let your best player make plays as he basically ALWAYS does when you give him a chance… Sticking with the run gives the D line something to consider even if you aren't having huge success they can't just pin their ears back That allows if called at the right time, Big plays to hit because maybe they were sitting run. Even just a 5 yard run is enough to make the D take notice 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think this is what is happening on a lot of those. Read option plays were Josh is choosing to keep it himself rather than hand it off. I suppose you could criticize Dorsey for even calling those plays instead of straight handoffs, but maybe Josh should just choose not to take this beating so often.

MJS Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 My one issue was the Josh Allen runs. And I am an advocate for him running. I defend it all the time. But when you are up 31 to 10, there's just no reason to run the ball with Josh. But I also wonder if it is Josh himself taking that freedom to take off when he wants to. I don't know how often the OC is calling a Josh Allen run play versus Allen changing the play or simply deciding to take off on that play. 6 minutes ago, Beast said: Doubt it. One successful year won’t do it especially after the last OC was hired as a HC. Dorsey will be here for at least a couple years. Agreed. If everything goes well Dorsey will be a HC two years from now, and we'll have another hot shot in the wings to take over. This offense is going to create a lot of head coaches. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nelius Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Definitely, I was impressed. Loved Diggs putting up big numbers in Week 1 as well. Didn't see much Knox tonight although there are only so many balls to go around, but just one thing I'll be keeping an eye on. Just an observation, I don't really care who puts up the points.

HappyDays Posted September 9, 2022 Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Dorsey almost completely took the greatest defensive player of the millennium out of the game. That's about as good a start as you could ask for. And I love that he stuck with the run game even when it wasn't necessarily working. The threat of the run kept the Rams on their heels all night. That's something Daboll never understood. 3 hours ago, ScottLaw said: Thought they were forcing the run a bit too much in general for my liking until that bomb to Davis… Ran it too much when they were up 17-10 with the ball back. Let your best player make plays as he basically ALWAYS does when you give him a chance… Really Scott? In a game where we didn't punt a single time you're going to criticize the flow of the offense? Haven't you been saying all offseason that the Bills rely too much on Allen to be Superman and win games for them? Threatening defenses with the run is how you counter that.
