I agree those would have helped but the long passes , when all we needed was to move the chains and keep the clock running,we’re not great Quarterbacking. Also his ball security is very suspect at this time of year!!

Ball security? The sack fumble I wouldn’t put solely on him. The second INT was more on Beasley. Look he’s not last years playoff Josh(yet) but he’s been good. It’s the play calling and drops that have hurt the O more than Josh.

If we’d just gotten done beating Cinci or KC in a nail biter like this one, I think I’d be feeling much better about it; cruising at the beginning didn’t prepare me for what was to come against the “injury riddled” phins…that said, we move on and still have a chance to clean some things up.

Nobody complained last week either, when Josh hit Diggs on the bomb on 3rd and 10 with under nine minutes to play when only leading by five. They’re called kill shots for a reason. I hope teams continue to play Cover-0 because those plays are there to be made because our guys get open on those routes with freqency.

 

It is not unreasonable when your defense has given up a long time-consuming drive that ended in a score to NOT have your offense go out and pitch a 3 and out of low percentage passes that puts them right back on the field.

 

Dorsey has just shown too often this season a lack of situational awareness that he needs to correct.

 

It's not about taking shots against cover 0, it's about taking them at the right time.

 

There is value in slowing things down and trying to work the sticks at certain points in a game.

That was not on Beasley.

How do you not put that fumble on Josh? He never tucks the ball away. He was lucky that fumble went out of bounds in the first or that would have been a costly turnover AGAIN!

Yeah... he absolutely is!    I hated seeing Daboll leave, even though i knew it was only a matter of time.  Dorsey has a long way to go.  A long way. 

I would add...  our offense is missing more than just balance.  Its missing creative play designs and proper timing of the the play calls to keep tue defense off balance.   Our offense seems simplistic and predictable.   We’re putting up the points, but definitely make it look difficult.

I just can't handle these incredibly stupid poor timed TO's.  How many times have we watched a positive play be nullified by some obscure McD TO?

I agree, it’s ok to take a TO to ice the kicker on a field goal attempt, but stop icing your own defense!

I’M NOT WELL

At one of the excruciating points in the game my Dad (who is 88 and has about 8 stents in his arteries) texted "I don't feel too good right now" and at first it was like yeah this game sucks, then there was a second the thought came - wait is he not talking about the game and literally not well??  (he's fine)

I don’t disagree about knowing the game situation and how important it is to manage a possession. But whenever Josh sees Cover-0, he has the green light and he has for several seasons now, even under Daboll. I’d bet that Dorsey got in his ear after that one series. But Allen is gonna take his kill shots if he sees the opportunity. That’s also about trusting his defense as well. All that said, Josh needs to know when to rein it in at times.

I don’t see it as glass half empty, it’s just realization that we may not be as good as we thought we were.

Are we not "injury riddled" as well? Von Miller, Micah Hyde, Damar Hamlin, Ike Boettger, Jordan Phillips, Isaiah Mckenzie?

 

I mean 2 of our WR's were retired through the first 3/4 of the season. 

 

Anyone who thought Buffalo was going to walk away with this game haven't been paying attention. I live in south FL and all week long fin fans have been saying how the Bills were going to blow them out and I'm just like, "easy tiger" ... while that sounds wonderful, it just isn't likely. 

 

This game was super frustrating, but we are on to the next game.

And that first shot to Davis was almost complete for a huge gain.

I think that with sky-high expectations you get an equal and opposite response to team performance, even with a win, when the game had tons of ugliness and warts.
