Shortchaz Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 At this point in his career, Josh should be a confident general. I’m not seeing that. He should have the ability to not just check from a pass to a run, or vice versa, but to call any play in the playbook with the personnel on the field. The offense is way too predictable. guys like Brady and mahomes figure(d) these things out and are often throwing to guys who are wide open. he’s not in control, he doesn’t use the resources at his disposal, he hasn’t improved.

jletha Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 I felt like Josh took the easy throw almost the entire game last night (and was very good at them) except for basically 3 throws. Look at his spray chart. https://x.com/NextGenStats/status/1701441061560934432?s=20 It was just that the three times he didnt it was a pick. On the int that was to Davis he had Kincaid underneath that would have likely been a first too. But this idea that he was reckless all night isnt accurate. He took the easy stuff most of the night, I think he almost gets bored though. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 2 hours ago, finn said: I think self-discipline is the problem, not confidence. He's addicted to the dopamine rush of the deep ball, and teams that can get pressure with four can just wait for him to implode, like a child who really really really wants that candy just out of reach. Maybe that's what Diggs is seeing. A man-child quarterback. No. If anything Diggs sees an OC that handles him the opposite way Daboll did and Diggs thinks that has been a problem. Coddling. Whatever you want to call it. That is much more likely considering that trash game plan yesterday. I couldn’t even tell you what we tried to do. And not one thing appeared to be done to calm everyone and everything down after the 2nd pick. Instead, Dorsey does same ***t. Cook draw up the middle.

Ramza86 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Yesterday it was like he abandoned all reasonable thought and just played dumb, rushed, unfocused football. Does this guy study at all? He needs to have a sit down with Peyton and learn how to analyze defense pre-snap. If he cant see every player on the field or anticipate their movements hes just gonna be a dumb gamer of a qb this will be his limit. Tough to watch guys.

drummernut74 Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 (edited) This game is summed up in 3 plays IMO ... 1. Josh takes off and runs left, is nowhere near the sticks, and tries to hurdle through the air on 2 Jets Defenders 2. Josh takes off and runs left with a virtually clear path to the sticks, and launches the ball downfield into double coverage, INT 1 3. 3rd and 2 midfield later in 4thQ, and he throws a 15 yard pass attempt to the right sideline, INT 3. JUST KEEP THE F'NG DRIVE ALIVE ... THAT'S WHY YOU GOT DAMIEN HARRIS ... FOR SHORT YARDAGE! SHEER BONE HEAD ON EVERY F'NG PLAY Edited September 12, 2023 by drummernut74 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBaumer Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 He IS a great talent but my God, did you see him sulking on the bench every time he made a mistake. Jesus Christ man, get up and rally your teammates. No wonder Diggs has had it with this guy, it's painful to watch. Allen gives it his all on the field but his body language is beyond pathetic. This guy is not a rookie anymore, get out of your head and move on man. Until that part of him is fixed, this team is going to wither all around him. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call Diggs a diva or whatever but that guy is all in and expects those around him to be as well. If Allen had half of Diggs discipline and fire, the Bills would have hoisted a couple banners already. Instead we get half hearted efforts on the field and sad sack press conferences after disgraceful losses. But hey, on the bright side McD has his sideline clapping in mid-season form! 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Had the same thought. Sick of watching him sulk on the bench red cheeked. Game isn't happening to you bro. Get up and get going. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reading defenses from what I have heard and read in regards to Brady at least was watching lots of game film. Seeing their tendencies in certain formations, what they like to do.. what their weaknesses are. Heck I remember one of the former players on TV saying “if your not putting in the same amount of time as he (Brady) is on watching film and tendencies then he is going to torch you every time” . So basically he needs just to watch film to learn to read Defenses better.. (I don’t know if he does or doesn’t but that seems to be the way it’s done) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The 9 Isles Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 He is a fun buddy, doesn’t want anyone to get mad at him, never wants to get in anyone’s face. Doesn’t like watching film and likes being silly. So much talent and so little discipline. 2 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dopey Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Come on now. Let's relax. He had a terrible game, no doubt, but when given the chance at the end of the game, he did lead us to the game tying FG. I have been one of the most critical posters of Josh, but I think he will be fine. This smack to the face should be a wakeup call. 🤞 We have a TEAM around him that can help him win. Let them help. We don't need Super Josh. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He routinely had one of the quickest releases in the NFL and was impossible to sack Josh likes to react. And by react clearly he means have a spaz attack in the middle of the field and forget how to function. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PatsFanNH Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Damn! If you don’t want him anymore Pats give you a 4th and say 5th in 2025 for him. Lmao. seriously! They need a face palm emoji for a reaction to these comments. Stop over reacting! Your team yes TEAM played a horrid game last night but is so good almost won in spite of it!! 2 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarleyNY Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 2 hours ago, Toledo Bill said: A couple of years ago Josh would confidently stand in the picket and throw. Yes, he would still break out and run when needed but I remember sometimes thinking… wow, he had great protection. I can only guess what has led to a now skittish, frustrated quarterback. 1. of course the offensive line seems to have regressed terribly. 2. Have defenses basically figured Josh (and our play calling out)? 3. Poor coaching I am interested in opinions. Hopefully this is fixable. He’s trying to be the hero in a win rather than just trying to win. He’s taking unnecessary risks to make highlight reel plays rather than focusing on making the correct/smart plays. He is hurdling defenders on first down, throwing deep into coverage and bailing on clean pockets instead of sliding, making safe underneath throws and getting the ball out on time to shorter patterns. Then, when that hasn’t worked, he finally panics and fumbles, throws a pick or just plain misfires on his throws. What a freaking waste. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 12, 2023 Share Posted September 12, 2023 Ask Diggs I'm sure he knows the truth. It could be so many things. Could be no faith in Dorsey, no faith in Oline, he may feel like no one else besides him and Diggs can make a play, and then the crazy stuff like drugs and alcohol. Then again it just might be the Jets are his kryptonite. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
