Dorsey is a problem. He just is and for a lot of reasons. Josh also has a problem where he sometimes does not make the better decision. He is a gunslinger and has 100% confidence in his arm, and he should. But he also needs to know you don't have to score on every play or get a big gain on every play. It's ok to get 6 yards instead of firing a 30 yarder down field. My biggest concern: Post Game Interview by Dorsey - He literally said they are trying to limit Josh and keep him safe. To me, that is a huge flaw in Dorseys approach. We are in "lose and go home" portion of the season, let Josh take off with his legs. One thing that was painfully apparent was the lack of runs by Josh against Miami, something he has TORCHED them with on a regular basis. Not only were we not flat out running the ball enough or effectively, but they took Josh's legs out of the game too much. TURN JOSH LOOSE in that capacity. Against Cincy and likely KC next, running the ball and controlling the clock to limit the number of drives Mahomes and Burrow get will be huge. I would much rather see Josh and the Bills take a 10+ play drive to score and chew up a bunch of time then score in say 5 or 6 plays. That is where Josh needs to use his head and take what the defense is giving him rather than force lower percentage passes down field as frequently as he was trying against Miami. So for me, its a 2 part problem...some Dorsey and some Josh. Do NOT neuter Josh, just call plays that scheme some easy throws open and have less guys running deep. On several plays, we had 2 or 3 guys going deep with one underneath. If Josh sees one of those deep guys get a step or one on one, he is gonna fire before he ever reaches his check down in his progressions. If we struggle to run, then scheme up some short throws or screens to the RB as an extension of the run game.

Last nights game looked a lot like Peyton Mannings last season. I think that was Brady's last game. Manning went out a SB champion only because he was carried by his defense and run game. In fact, Peyton was the 2nd worst passer in the NFL his last season and had the worst performance of any winning QB in SB history. If Brady is to go somewhere to have a real shot at winning one more title, the only place I can see that happening is SF. And now with a QB controversy already with Trey and Purdy on the horizon, I have a hard time they will halt either of those QB's progressions to bring in Brady with a declining arm and limited mobility. Especially if Purdy takes them deep in the playoffs this year. All the talk is Raiders, but they have a bad OL and mediocre defense at best and probably losing Josh Jacobs. Would the Raiders really be any better than the Bucs were this year? Probably not. Not to mention, its still a tough division. So unless the Niners come up short in the playoffs and decide to roll the dice on season with Brady, I can't really see him playing again next year. At least he shouldn't. He needs a stout D, OL, and run game at this point to support where he is at as a player.

Its never been about the players making adjustments, its the HC, OC, and DC recognizing how the opponent has been playing them and making formation and play call adjustments to counter the other sides game plan. They do this throughout the game, but the "halftime" adjustment is most talked about because its when the HC and Coordinators have a moment to all talk together and share input. I guarantee every coach in the league would 100% disagree with Mannings comment here. Manning has never coached, he has never put together a game plan or strategy. His job was to execute the play calls coming in from the staff or make on field audibles if he sees something he can exploit or counter out of if the defense is lined up in a way to disrupt the original call. Manning is a fun guy and good commentator, don't get me wrong, but he is out of his element here talking about coaching adjustements.

I think people need to keep in perspective too that the drop was a pretty difficult catch. Wasn't like one of the drops we have seen other WR's drop this year for us.

You really made a thread about not being able to smile? Lmao, go outside and find something to smile about then rather than whine about it here. We are on to Cincy, score doesn’t matter anymore. It’s a one week season every week. Man up

Really? You really think that’s all he contributed today?

Geezus man, you can’t even just admit the dude had a great game without reverting to something negative. You really need a new schtick

Maybe read the post I responded to first

He made several mistakes yesterday and they should have been interceptions but Seahawks dropped the balls. As good as Purdy has been, he’s also been lucky quite a few times on some errant passes not being picked off. That being said, he’s also made a lot of plays where he extended the play and made something out of nothing. It’s why he reminds me of Fitzpatrick so far.

Herbert isn’t clutch. Staley is a fool. And the Chargers fold like a beach chair. And for these reasons, I called a Jags comeback at halftime to all my Charger fans friends and even bet on it and they didn’t disappoint. Funny thing is, all of them expected it to happen too. Chargers fans are now a lot like Bills fans were for a while where they expect the team to find new ways to lose games. 😂

To be fair…He had several dropped INTs though and few others that could have been possible INTs had a defender been in the area on bad passes.

I think he is actually 6-0 I already said after his second start he was better than Jimmy G and the Niners are better with him. And the biggest reason for that is his mobility. Jimmy G has the worst pocket presence in the NFL, guy is a statue and can’t sense pressure either. That being said, for all his heroics yesterday, he still had a few atrocious passes that were dropped INTs that could have shifted that game back to being close or expand the Seahawks lead earlier in the game. What I think happens is he enters camp and battles Trey for the job. If Niners make a deep playoff run, it will be his job to lose, if he has a bad game and they get bounced, then it may be a little more even entering camp. Purdy is doing a great job, and he is for real, at least to this Niners team right now. But he reminds me more of Ryan Fitzpatrick than top tier starter so far. A guy who can extend plays with his legs, make some big plays and also tempt fate with some bad decisions. He also just doesn’t have have all the physical gifts that Trey has. Trey first game was not really a fair one to use as a barometer, it was horrific weather conditions and first game of the year too where most starters barely played coming into that game. Doesn’t mean Trey will even beat out Purdy, but I believe after all they invested in him and with his superior athletic gifts, they will at least let him battle it out against Purdy to see who wins the job.

I called that comeback at halftime on 2 friends Facebook pages hahaha They are pissed

I mean Poyer and Edmunds have been critical to our defense. If we lose both and don’t adequately replace them it’s going to be a huge hit to the defense. Im not saying go all in on the defense, they definitely need to upgrade WR and OL. But you don’t take money from the defense to pay top money to a 31 year old WR either. WR price tag has sky rocketed, that is a position to address in the draft IMHO. I’d rather spend cap space on other positions because it will go further.

I mean he opens with downplaying Lamar’s injury for one by saying everyone’s hurt this time of year. He goes on to imply he’s maybe dogging it essentially over his contract. Then he suggests Lamar risk play on an injured knee anyway, even if it means just on pass plays. You don’t see the irony of all that coming from a player in Watkins who has never put forth his best effort, missed a ton of games over tic tac injuries, and has coasted since getting paid? But more importantly, he is stirring up a distraction and questions heading into a playoff game. He was stupid for talking about it in the media ahead of their playoff game and basically implying he has no confidence or faith in the backups either by calling out Lamar. Not to mention, Sammy wasn’t even on that team when Lamar got hurt because the Packers (a team desperate for WR help) felt they were a better team without Sammy…and turns out they were.

I mean his knee was still swollen last week, there is no question that he is not fully recovered from his knee injury. The only question is could he push the envelope or not and play on it before it’s 100%. That’s a legit question, and I’m sure his future for himself plays into that decision. But there isn’t anything to be “suspicious” about in terms of what the injury was thought to be and him not being healed. They thought Von would miss 2-4 weeks and he ended up out for the season.

I mean he is implying Lamar might be dogging it because of his contract situation and calling him out for not playing through the injury essentially.

But it’s not about picking one…if you don’t resign them you still have to replace them and you can’t replace them all and fill every hole in one draft. Going to have to pay some people to replace some of them too.

I mean really? This guys got some nerve given his own track record… 👇👇This guys response was classic 😂😂😂😂😂

Yeah it was crazy they way they kept losing playoff games

To be fair, they fired Schottenheimer because they kept choking in the post season each year. He came into that 14 win season on the hot seat and then they got bounced early again. I mean, unless they win the SB, I don’t know how he keeps his job after this self sabotage. What a fool.

Not remotely what I said. Cool

We need to draft our WR...we dont have the cap space to invest in D Hop. We have Poyer, Edmunds and Devin contracts up, and Olivers the next year. We have 3 key positions up in the air while also needing help on the OL as well as WR. Draft a WR

I agree with you on all this too. And don't get me wrong, I am not high on Mac Jones either and never have been. I will say though, during that draft, I thought the best place for him to have a chance to succeed was NE given what they did with another QB who had no elite physical traits too. But I never felt like he was going to be someone for us to fear either, and still don't. But at the same time, they made the playoffs last year with a depleted defense too, and almost made it this year with poor weapons and no OC. So that was only reason I feel like it is too soon to write him off yet too.

This is where I am at. Even if someone wants to give OBJ the benefit of the doubt that the airline didn't handle it the best way (which that is even debatable), it's how he handled himself after that is unacceptable and inexcusable. I never thought he would end up in Buffalo, but I was fine with it if he did because I did not worry about him being a locker room distraction. Teammates in LA and CLE have all spoken up for him on being a good locker room guy, so for me, it was a non-issue. Then as the season got further along, I started hoping he would come here every time I saw McKenzie not come through, at least until news started coming he was still pretty far away from being ready. BUTTTTT: And it's a BIG but...It is not just how you carry yourself when you are around people you see as your peers in that locker room, it's how you handle yourself outside it too. And seeing that video and how he carried himself and acted towards the other passengers, and then reading Dawkins letter to the fans today...the one thing that is 10000000% obvious is that OBJ does not DESERVE to be in that locker room or part of the Bills family. He is not worthy of calling these men his peers because they dwarf him in every measure of a man and being a good human. I have changed my opinion from being "Don't think it would happen, but fine with it if it does" to now "Definitely will never happen, and no way in hell I want him on this team". Uhhh...what? Lol. No offense Gugny, but this post shows we need a "WTF" emoticon of some sorts so we can properly react to it. The disagree one doesn't always convey the appropriate reaction lol
