I’m watching at a bar so I’m admittedly more distracted than at home; I’ll have to rewatch. It seems like we’ve been hitting on a few chunk plays but struggled with maintaining drives. I’d love to be more methodical. Too many 3rd and longs in the first. The defense has had to come out quick after either an offensive 3 and out/quick score. Not sure how sustainable that is. Here’s to no points on Washington’s first drive and a good 6 minute drive with points to open up our first possession.

Sort of reminds me of a more athletic Andy Dalton. Good enough that you kinda sorta have to pay him QB money because moving on is too much of a risk.

They’re averaging 2.8 per carry. Barkley is great. But if he’s the difference between a reasonable run game and embarrassing you didn’t really have a run game to begin with.

The run game is 9/25 yards. Terrible.

For the most part I’ve thought Josh and Daboll grew together. Some problems were on both. Some improvements were on both. They were great for each other for the time they were together.

On replay that was a terrible 3rd down call. There was absolutely zero option to Jones.

This is starting to feel like death by 1000 paper cuts.

I think it’s two fold. Deebo is talented. Super talented. You also have to have the cast to draw the respect away. Kittle and CMC are no joke. Diggs isn’t Deebo, but I always feel like Diggs and co are talented enough to open up the screen better than we do. Part of the problem is proving to the defense that we’ll throw the ball to anybody at anytime.

That feels like a safety to me.

Smart kid. Very quick release. Enough arm to do just about whatever he wants.

It felt like there were 10-15 free yards for the taking on that return as long as he didn’t….run directly into the effing gunner for no reason what so ever.

Danny terrified of the 49’ers. It’s not just taking what the defense gives you. Reminds me of some Bills eras, a drop on first down haunts you because you can’t do anything but 3-4 yards at a time.

He knew it, immediately popped up but just stood there. Ref checked in. But if the ref checks in I feel like that should automatically trigger a professional to take a look at him.

Robinson looked noodley getting up from that third down pass.

Good Guys - 27 Bad Guys - 9

I am personally a big fan of the 1994 Bronco @ Los Angeles

Does he have kids? Could his kid be involved in something?

Drugs it is then? Maybe he is depressed so he has schlepping mushrooms or LSD? Pain, He has fentanyl for that! Narcolepsy? A little bump never hurt anybody!

This is fair I think. As a fan I think the season is more fun to go through 17 weeks as like the 10th ranked team in the league. Being thought of as the best or second best team means that you are trying to live up to these really high expectation. And more often than not the best team in the league doesn't necessarily play the best football in the league that week. Last season I felt like a prisoner of expectations. Unless we were lights out we weren't the best. And if we weren't the best we failed. It is kind of like the Olympics, most bronze medalists are happier than silver medalists. Silver medalists generally think a lot of "well what if....then I could have won". Bronze medalists think "Woah, look what I did. That was sweet".

It feels like it has gone from the "Hall of Fame" to the "Hall of "Hey I remember their name after like 10 years"".

He played a great game and made great decisions. I don’t want to take too much away from this week because he was light out. But as the season progresses I’d like to see a quicker release, hit that back foot and fire. If we can consistently put that stuff together as needed, Josh and the team will be unstoppable.

I think Chargers/Vikings is compelling because we think both teams might be good, but we think they might also be kinda bad. It is an exciting game because we aren't sure.

The overall match ups this week have to be some of the worst in recent memory. Outside of rooting for your home team the most compelling match ups are: New England/ NYJ - Two good defenses and nobody to play QB. Indianapolis/Baltimore - You get both the Richardson(Q) and Lamar. Without AR this game is stupid. LAC/Minnesota - I have no idea who either of these teams are. Are they great? Are they bad? Total wild card between two similar maybe wildcard teams come January.

2.9 Seconds. 21st quickest or 11th slowest last week. Being decisive (and correct) with the ball is something I still wish he would be better at. None the less, much much better game. I am glad the sky isn't falling on me this week and we have steadied the QB play a bit. https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/stats/passing/2023/REG/2#average-time-to-throw

The last two weeks are the total spectrum of the Josh Allen experience. What a ride!
