True, I definitely think that’s accurate about his pre game narratives. Overall I’m not a fan of him. But I do think he’s very good in breaking down plays in a small amount of time. (When he doesn’t have his homer glasses on)

Give him a couple more years, he’s still learning the position

I find collingsworth is good when he doesn’t have the man crush. Like when it’s with Mahomes or Cincinnati, he’s brutal. But as an analyst, he’s actually pretty good

How does this guy make 18 million? I’ve watched him closely so far this game and he hasn’t came close to making one impact play

Kind of where I’m at. If Miami beats them next week, Miami is going to have a good shot at the 1 seed

I read it. You are saying the bills are wasting Josh Allen because of Ken Dorsey. Correct?

There are about 20 fire Ken Dorsey threads this could have been placed in lol

Offence has to close it out on 3rd down, agreed But you have to punt that ball on 4th. Under 0 circumstances should an offence go 80-90 yards in 20 seconds with 0 timeouts. (Which they didn’t)

That’s just one play on 3rd down though, it makes sense why they would be trying to get a first down there. It definitely seemed like there was more running/short passes when it was 24-10. I could be wrong. But Something/someone was conservative. I doubt Josh Allen was haha , as he’s usually the opposite of that.

Ok so you agree he’s in on the game plan. The game plan definitely changed the last 25 minutes or so, agreed? So why do you feel like he wasn’t in on that part of the game plan when things were obviously more conservative? If it were up to Dorsey, I’m sure he would want to keep attacking as he’s the OC and he wants to put up as many points as possible

I don’t know if you read the article, but there is literally a quote in there saying: “McDermott and Dorsey have both admitted that the head coach is getting his fingers on the game plan in the offense”

https://billswire.usatoday.com/2023/10/24/ken-dorsey-sean-mcdermott-input-buffalo-bills-offense-nfl/ Both McDermott and Dorsey admitted before the game that McDermott has his fingerprints in on the offence.

I agree with all you said there. But do you think it was Dorsey or McDermott who stopped attacking? I personally think Mcd has his fingerprints a lot on this offence. (Having a “balanced” offence, not letting josh run, don’t turn the ball over, get conservative late in games etc)

This is kind of where I’m at. I am a McDermott critic but I thought his game management was great Thursday When it’s 4th and 2 plus and you’re up 14 in the 4th, you punt in those spots especially when Tampas offence is horrible. And even if it was 4th and inches there, you still punt it and make Baker go 80-90’yards in 20 seconds with 0 timeouts..

Is it actually? I didn't even know that. What is it AC joint sprain? (Grade 1?) I thought Deshaun had a subscap tear, unless thats a new injury for him

Great post until the bolded^ The man is gutting out a shoulder injury and still is in the MVP conversation.

Way better. Just took the gas off the Pedel too much the last 25 minutes. I hope to see a lot of 11 personnel/up tempo going forward

Josh had his 4th bad game in a row? Huh?? You know he completed over 75 percent of his passes , threw for 300 plus yards, ran for over 40 and had 3 total TDs right? 95 percent of QBs on a weekly basis don’t accomplish that ^. He will most likely be a AFC player of the week candidate again

Josh. Shakir Gabe Poyer Bernard

Hunter Henry? We would have like 33 million dollars tied up to the TE position, with how many traded draft picks/investments at TE. If you weren’t talking about HH, my apologies

I do. I thought the bills played well. This could have been like a 34-10 game. Went to conservative at the end and dumb mistakes which made it closer than it should

It’s got to be McDermott for the last 25 minutes 14 point lead , you almost got to think he wanted to go conservative. The goal line series was on Dorsey of course, that 3rd and inch run from shotgun was brutal

100 percent agreed When the bills drafted Kincaid I was a bit nervous about 12 personnel as Josh likes throwing to WRs. Time to roll with 11 and use Kincaid over Knox when Knox does return I think it’s both. When they were doing 12, they were doing a lot of subbing. Seemed like they were letting defences dictating terms as they matched with them. With this 11/ no huddle, it seemed like it was “this is our offence, good luck stopping us”

This is just straight up a dumb team

Well McDermott called a timeout. This means a big play is coming for tampa
