WIDE LEFT Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 You have to wonder if Dorsey is auditioning for a HC job, or is he completely clueless about game/clock management. Raiders game - less than 9 minutes remaining in 4th quarter and Bills with a 21 point lead. The math is clear - it’s virtually impossible for Vegas to score 3 tds in the time left. Bills could run 3 times every possession, go 3 & out each time and their simply would not be enough time left for Vegas to tie this game. The ONLY way to lose is to throw a pic or QB sack fumble. What does Dorsey do? First down Allen passes and is INTERCEPTED. But a lucky penalty negates the turnover. He then continues to throw the ball all over the field. With an even bigger lead in the 4th quarter against Washington he does the same thing - multiple passes - completely unnecessary and reckless. On to the Dolphins game . Huge lead again in 4th quarter. First and goal at the 9. Dorsey, (auditioning?) calls for a designated QB run. Why? Yes I know he scored. But what about the entire concept of Allen not taking unnecessary hits? A QB draw from the 9 in the crowded red zone almost always results in a significant hit. Why put Allen at risk when u have a huge lead late in 4th quarter? Why show that play to future opponents? Just as mindlessly reckless as throwing the ball all over the field late in the 4th quarter with big leads. Unless you have a HC agenda. 1 1 9 1 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloBillyG Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 First off, you do realize the Allen QB run last week was an audible made by Josh at the line, right? Maybe Josh is auditioning for a HC job? Second...maybe when your QB leads the NFL in completion percentage it's not the risk you make it out to be to throw the ball. You're actually complaining that Dorsey kept the offense humming with a lead rather than pack it in and roll conservative. Literally everything you point out is basically "Hey, look, I know these decisions worked out well....but...." There is definitely an agenda in play here. But it's not by Dorsey. 3 3 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

On the Allen TD, it was not a designed run, Allen had an option to run if the defense looked a certain way. It did, and Allen walked in untouched because he knows what he is doing. But we need to complain I suppose. 6 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rockinon Posted October 4, 2023 Share Posted October 4, 2023 (edited) I thought that TD run was an RPO and Josh just selected to keep it. Great play because he practically walked into the endzone. I do think the play against the Raiders was pretty boneheaded, though. All that was needed to win, was eat clock. The interception gave them an opportunity to get right back in the game. Unfortunately for them, the Bills defense forced another turnover just a couple of plays later. Edited October 4, 2023 by Rockinon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WIDE LEFT Posted October 4, 2023 Author Share Posted October 4, 2023 No I didn’t know it was an audible and I don’t believe you have that inside knowledge either. But let’s concede that it was an audible. Your QB should not be allowed to audible in that situation. Sometimes you have to protect Allen from himself. He opened himself up to a huge and completely unnecessary hit. And showed off to future opponents a great play design. I am not at all surprised by the responses here. Basically “ everything worked out so what’s your problem”. That’s fine UNTIL everything doesn’t work out. The Allen 4th quarter interception with a big lead isn’t always going to get wiped out by a penalty. Reckless clock & game management will come back to bite you in the playoffs. You haven’t seen the Bills in the past fail to drill down on these type of issues in the past. Like 13 seconds? Yes everything fine, until it isn’t. 10 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When we dominated the NFL with the K-Gun offense from 88 to 94 we went no huddle and kept trying to score until the final gun. The play calling is predicated on what Dorsey sees the defense is giving us, including the river parting for a Josh draw. I thought Dorsey was learning on the job last year and opening night was reminiscent of that. His performance since has been better every week and finally we have a run option and Kincaid is being brought into the mix. Josh has far less designed runs and we’re scoring over 30 every game. Diggs is getting targeted on single coverage and the new guys(Sherfield, Harty) are contributing. What are you complaining about? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember for sure who it was who broke it down, I think it was Baldy, but Josh basically looked up saw he had a hat on a hat on the right side (1 blocker for every defender) and he's Josh ***** Allen so he called his number and waltzed in. And no, nobody would ever question Josh making that decision because even if he somehow ended up getting that wrong he could just eat it burn more clock and have two more downs to get it in. Worst case we don't punch it in down there and settle for a FG, which we already had a big lead so who cares.

In a 3 score game with that much time left I'd probably just try and move the ball a little and let the clock trickle down. Inside 4-5 minutes? Sure, run it every play. But I'm not We were up 16-0 in the 4th quarter with 12 minutes remaining the last time we ran a pass play against Washington. That is a two score game with 12 minutes left, you aren't really running clock there. We were up 28 in the 4th quarter against miami and ran 2 passing plays. The run play in the red zone (to go up 28) is not a draw, its a read-option. He has 3 blockers and the back (plus allen). Miami had 4 players on that side of the offensive line. You watch the one linebacker to see if he follows the back (he did), and you pull the ball and its 3x3 plus allen... hence walk in score. 39 minutes ago, WIDE LEFT said: So as the high school OC, you never had your team run clock, never had your QB take a knee because after all you wanted to score every, single, time.

What does Dorsey do? First down Allen passes and is INTERCEPTED. But a lucky penalty negates the turnover. He then continues to throw the ball all over the field. With an even bigger lead in the 4th quarter against Washington he does the same thing - multiple passes - completely unnecessary and reckless. On to the Dolphins game . Huge lead again in 4th quarter. First and goal at the 9. Dorsey, (auditioning?) calls for a designated QB run. Why? Yes I know he scored. But what about the entire concept of Allen not taking unnecessary hits? A QB draw from the 9 in the crowded red zone almost always results in a significant hit. Why put Allen at risk when u have a huge lead late in 4th quarter? Why show that play to future opponents? Just as mindlessly reckless as throwing the ball all over the field late in the 4th quarter with big leads. Unless you have a HC agenda. and yet we have the 2nd best offense in the league and arguably our QB is playing at his absolute best. Seriously the people that criticize Dorsey sound like they'll never be happy despite him being arguably one of the best OC's in the NFL.

It's hardly "inside info" that the play was an audible. Emmanuel Acho is developing into a Baldy level play analyzer. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The best part about the way Acho breaks down film is the way he takes the time to explain things. He did a breakdown on the punt return that ended the Jets game that was phenomenal. You don't see a lot of special teams play breakdowns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Draconator Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 On 10/4/2023 at 8:20 AM, WIDE LEFT said: No I didn’t know it was an audible and I don’t believe you have that inside knowledge either. But let’s concede that it was an audible. Your QB should not be allowed to audible in that situation. Sometimes you have to protect Allen from himself. He opened himself up to a huge and completely unnecessary hit. And showed off to future opponents a great play design. I am not at all surprised by the responses here. Basically “ everything worked out so what’s your problem”. That’s fine UNTIL everything doesn’t work out. The Allen 4th quarter interception with a big lead isn’t always going to get wiped out by a penalty. Reckless clock & game management will come back to bite you in the playoffs. You haven’t seen the Bills in the past fail to drill down on these type of issues in the past. Like 13 seconds? Yes everything fine, until it isn’t. Were you dropped repeatedly on your head as a child? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just destroyed the previous #1 offense 48-20, and you bring this up? please go back to youre own fan site as you’re not a Bills fan. We are #2 in pts scored, and #2 in pts against. Yeah we suck. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I felt like Dorsey used the Raiders game to sharpen the execution of the offense. I do believe that part of the issue in the Jets game was the fact that the offense hadn't played much live football together yet. So I had no problem with them throwing the ball around in a blowout against a team that had little or no chance of coming back. And yeah I don't believe that QB run was the initial call. The sea just parted so he ran in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cheektowaga Chad Posted October 5, 2023 Share Posted October 5, 2023 The bills should trade Josh Allen, and go with Matt Barkley or even Kyle Allen With what they could get from trading Allen they could really build up the offensive line and get another wr to upgrade from Davis and even a actual rb. The offense would be impeccable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
