FFS no one hates Josh, but it's understandable there are concerns considering he'd been looking like a shadow of his former self today.

Part of it to me is injuries and that hit to the head he took in that Green Bay game. And not only the injury with his elbow but no one is talking about the hand injury he sustained against Miami when he got into it with Wilkins for grabbing him

His feet are very, very fidgety. His head is scrambled. He is fighting himself here. I don't know what will re-set him but we need something to.

 

He's had some quick pressures in his face today and I'm guess he's trying to stay on his toes so he can get out quick if he needs to.

I think a couple scrambles when he gets a 1st down and takes a little contact.  maybe that ball slap on his arm helped get his head right too.

That was one of the worst halves I’ve seen the Bills play in awhile and yet they’re winning.

 

it’s not sustainable on defense however. Frazier is running the same defense that he normally runs, and he doesn’t have Edmunds to make it go. 
 

Middle is open without a Tremaine. I can live with Brisset trying to win outside battles, but way too many layups in the middle

In fairness was decent post Miami. He proved on that drive he can do it which makes me think it's more of a mental than physical issue at the moment. He hasn't even had a chance to go out and practice after the final interception against the Vikings so there's going to be some residue there which probably came to the fore in the early drives.

That's the difference between good and bad teams. Bad teams find ways to lose.

 

Honestly if I remember this is similar to what happened against Miami last week...I believe they were playing pretty good but down 17-10 and then got smashed in the 2nd half.

So we’ve seen recently..

He's called up more blitz packages from the LBs than he typically does, imo.

It's worked a couple times and got us beat a couple also.

We’ve actually turned the ball over less than our opponents which is shocking


And thankful for the make up call for a false start on Cleveland a play or so after the left tackle blatantly had a false start.   Thought Buffalo was actually Offside.

This offense may have to just decide that an ugly win works too.

Just like in hockey when finesse is not working, keep grinding, get dirty in front of the net and in the corners, and keep shooting at the net till something goes in. It starts with grinding out some 1st downs and getting down close where you have a shot to punch it in.

Defense gets a blow too.

It makes sense as the browns probably have the more purely talented oline in the league

To be fair - you can tell Josh is playing this game with not turning the football over being a priority.


yes… he pulled the ball down on a deep shot on the last drive and went with the check down.  You rarely see that from him.

Never seen Josh this off.  Going on 12 quarters since GB halftime.  When will this team upgrade the OL?

 

I think OL is an issue across the NFL; anyone decent who could play there wants to be on defense. Though we seem to be bearing the brunt of it.
