    What you hope is that Allen isn't feeding Diggs specifically to keep him happy. Diggs is gonna have to grow up at some point. Exploiting other pinch points will open the game up for him eventually. And he'll still get his grabs.

    I think you meant to reply to @MAJBobby.

    I'll pass the message along.

    Numbers suggest your narratives are wrong on the offense.

    Came across the following tweet. Pulled the numbers out so they are front and center.  Credit to "Rico" for doing the leg work. But I have seen a LOT of common themes parroted today and the numbers show that for the most part the opinions of some (including some opinions I've had) may not be fully true.

     

     

    First off...the new narrative that Josh is suddenly force feeding Diggs and only Diggs the ball to keep him happy. Through 6 games Diggs has only 1 more target than last year. My theory is that the perception that Allen is forcing Diggs the ball more has to do with the lack of targets for Stef at the end of the year.

     

    After 6 weeks 
    5-1 record.              4-2 Record 
    #Diggs  22'             Diggs  23'
    65 targets               66 targets 
    49 recs                    49 Rec 
    6tds                           5tds

     

    Second...Gabe Davis hasn't improved. That's another false narrative IMO that the numbers seemingly back up. This time last year Dais had a 53% catch rate. Through the same amount of games his rate has jumped to 70%. Most of his catches have gone for 1st downs or TDs. He has been a HIGHLY efficient player so far this year. I have checked 3 sources this morning and have seen him "credited" with TWO official drops this year on one of them and ONE in the other two. If someone can provide another official source that is higher, please do. His fumble last night was just the third time in his career he's fumbled  and it was an excellent play by the defense. Gabe Davis is NOT the problem.

     

    #Davis 22'.             Davis 23'
    26 targets              30 Targets
    14 Rec                      21 rec
    4tds                          4tds

     

    Third...Knox has to be a blocker all the time now. And while it's true he is asked to chip a fair amount...he still runs a pass pattern after most times. He's actually had 5 more targets this year. His problem has been he's not making the tough catches we are used to seeing him make. 

     

    #Knox 22'               Knox 23'
    20 Targets              25 Targets
    15 rec                        14 Rec
    1TD                             1TD

     

    Fourth...slot receiver has been a bust. True, yet maybe a bit too early to lose hope. Notable with Kincaid missing last night he's only got 5 games in. I would have expected a few balls his way to raise these numbers, but the fact of the matter is while the TDa haven't been there (yet) and his opportunity hasn't been as high, he's actually been much more efficient than what we had in the slot last year. He's a rookie still figuring things out. I think the best is yet to come here.

     

    #Mckenzie 22'       #Kincaid 23'
    26 targets               19 Targets
    17 Rec                       17 Rec
    3tds                           0 TDs   

    Looks like you're saying people here aren't as smart as they think they are. Totally agree!!

    Josh was playing badly, it's up to the OC to speak to him and get him on an even keel. Well, Dorsey or Brady. Josh is human. He will may mistakes, he seems an emotional guy so spiralling is a possibility. So someone needs to be with him to get him out of the funk. They failed against the Jets.

     

    Being the OC isn't just about playing calls, it's about man management. Is Dorsey the best person to manage Josh? I have my doubts. Saying that, Josh did seem to reset after going off the rails in the second quarter last night.

    I wasn't upset with Josh's play last night. The whole first half was on the players. I listed 3 things before even mentioning Josh. IMO, Dorsey is being made out as a scapegoat for the players. Diggs drop, Davis fumbling, Bass missing FGs, Josh's pick. Not to mention we had 2 wrs wide open and they were tripped up by the db. The Davis trip was a TD in the making, IMO. Crap happens and that's not on Dorsey. That 3rd qt drive was awesome. 2 tds ion the 4th. The players didn't help make this an efficient offense last night.

    I expected a problem with Jax on offense. Jet lag is a real thing. The Jags being there for 2 weeks was a huge advantage. Not mad at all about that one. I expected it. 

    As for the Giants game:

    Quit dropping passes. 

    Quit fumbling the ball.

    Bass need to hit his FG attempts.

    Josh can't keep throwing picks. 

    If players execute Dorsey's plan, we beat the Jets and we're 4-1. First place in the AFCE. That Jets game is what hurts the most so far. And that's on Josh, not Dorsey. I believe we're fine moving forward.

    Yes there were.  In fact there was a lot more then a lot of fans want to acknowledge.  Here's a couple:

     

    In 1991, the Bills best offense of the Super Bowl years lost at NE 16 - 13. The Bills were 10 - 1 and the Pats 3 - 8 when that game was played. Kelly threw 4 INT's.

     

    In 1992, the 5 - 2 Bills hosted the 0 - 7 Pats at Rich Stadium. At halftime the Bills were trailing 7 - 0 and Kelly had thrown 2 INT's.  The fans booed the Bills off the field.  I know this because I was at the game.  The Bills came back and won it 16 - 7.

     

    In 1988, the 11 -2 Bills lost to the 3 - 10 TB Bucs at Tampa 10 - 5.  The Bills trailed 10 - 2 late in the 4th quarter.

     

    A there are a lot more.

     

    For those that appreciate the history of the Bills I highly recommend Sal Maiorana's Relentless. This book as every box score from 1960 through the 1993 season.

     

     

     

    I'm just reacting to your comment which tells me you don't watch much football.  Sure, I wouldn't call it a "good throw" but it wasn't a "crap throw" either I would call it GOOD ENOUGH.

     

    BTW, do you expect Allen to perfectly place the ball on every throw?  When I watch KC I see a lot of over thrown & under thrown Mahomes throws being caught regularly.  Kelsy alone has 3 - 4 per game.

     

    Such a dumb statement. Again, 2 things can be true. He could have caught it, but it was a crap throw. Obviously not GOOD ENOUGH. I don't expect perfection, but you can't place blame only on Knox on that one. Allen was part of the issue with that play.

    Who knows?  The NFL has been crazy this year.  I could see the Bills winning both games by several TD's each or losing one of those games and squeaking by in the other.  Three weeks ago if you had said that the Bills would beat Miami by 28 points and barely scrape by the Giants folks would have thought you to be nuts.

     

     

    Actually that throw looked a lot like a lot of passes that I've seen caught in that same situation.  And if you watched more football you would agree.

     

     

    Unless you're sitting on my lap during game time, you have no clue how much I watch. We can agree to disagree, but I don't think we do. You didn't say it was a good throw. It was crap. Knox could have caught that crap throw, but he didn't. Two things can be true at once.

    I think if Dorsey is more conscientious about not always letting defensive sets dictate to him, that he can call an efficient diversified offense that better suits this team. It feels like he gets in ruts at times and defenders can smell it, which makes things harder on everybody.

    Some hard positional coaching from the WR and TE coaches to minimize all the self-inflicted wounds is probably necessary as well.

    Thoughts?

     

    Edit: 

    Please feel free to take any screaming "Fire Him, Cut Him, light his yard on fire!" takes elsewhere.

    I will help you with that if necessary.

    IMO, Dorsey is fine. Josh lost the Jets game. We had enough plays called by Dorsey that should have been successful in that game, but Josh crapped the bed. Dorsey didn't lose that game. Last night we had 2 wrs wide open on long plays, but they were tripped up by the defender. Not on Dorsey. Diggs dropped a big pass, not Dorsey, Gabe fumbled the ball away, not Dorsey. Bass missed 2 FGs, not Dorsey. We could have easily gotten 30 points if not for these gaffs. Not on Dorsey. The Harty TD was a helluva call and that was coming off of a helluva drive to end the 3rd qt. We also drove down field on our next possession for a TD to Morris. Was that a great play by Josh? Sure, but let's not pretend the Bills didn't move the ball down the field on that score. I think we took about 6 minutes off the clock on that drive. I'm glad you mentioned self-inflicted wounds. If not for the players (not Dorsey) making mistakes in the 1st half, we win by a comfortable margin.

    Each loss someone posts asking what you did which caused the loss (the loss in London was due to the King Josh sign put up by peon of Goodell).

     

    What did you do to help Bills win this game against Bills former OC?

    I was late to watching game since I needed to complete another task.

     

    Cheering D-FENCE when offense was on field which was very clear on TV is not one of them.

    You showed up for the 2nd half, didn't you? We need you for the entire 4 quarters. You're to blame for that first half. Not Diggs dropping a pass, or Gabe fumbling away the ball, or 2 wide open wrs being tripped up, or Josh throwing a pick, or Bass missing a FG. We need you.

    The biggest blunder of the game IMO

    The decision to kick a 53 FG when already up 4+ points knowing your kicker has been shaky and shanked another 53 yarder earlier in the game.


    Missing the kick would put the Giants in good field position w/ a time out to work with and ample time to dink & dunk their way down to the red zone.

     

    If McDermott would’ve punted, it would’ve placed the Giants around the 10 (who haven’t scored a TD in multiple games) and made them drive 90 yards! This decision would’ve eliminated all those Trent Edwards check downs and forced Tyrod to make multiple big plays. I’m sure the analytics would back this up all day. 
     

    I know it’s irrelevant now, but the Bills are darn lucky to have escaped this game w/ a win. 

    If we had punted, you would have bitched about that too. You can deny it, but we know better. It's what TBD does.

    In my entire history of watching our Bills, this was the most unsatisfying win I can ever remember. I'm 44 years old and have been a lifelong fan. If Bills management aren't 100% behind letting Josh call the plays after these last two weeks, we're in a lot of unnecessary trouble.

    I guess you want a sympathy card. What a bunch of whiners. Yeah, let's have the QB who led the league in turnovers the reigns to the offense. Brilliant!

    An NFL tight end who has the ball hit him in his hands needs to make that catch. If you can’t admit that, that’s on you. 

    The "Best" QB in the league makes that throw. That was a crap throw. At least admit that part. If you can't, that's on you.

    Was it tho... yes it was low but it hit recievers hands. I feel of the ball was any higher it would have been batted by the defender in front of Josh

    yes it was, tho. a crap throw.

    Expectations of perfection are hampering this team.

    You won because Tyrol Taylor totally messed up to end the 1st half and didn’t even get 3 points because he ran the ball with no time out left. Then the refs totally miss an obvious PI in the end zone as well against the Bills. The Bills are lucky not to be in 3rd place in the AFC East this morning. 
     

    The media and Bills fans see the schedule and know the tough part of your schedule hasn’t even hit yet. 
     

    We won. The rest doesn’t matter. I’ll leave it at that. How’d the Pats do?
