It was an inside counter. Reminiscent of my old wing T days. Early on it was obvious Dorsey’s game script was to try and neutralize the aggressive DL with misdirection and quick game. It didn’t work until later in the game when they really started rolling with their gap scheme run game in the 3rd Q

Three weeks in and Davis is 9-159-2 Average reception is 17.2 YPC. He’s on pace for 50 catches and 900 yards. This is the Gabe Davis we know. He’s also the Gabe Davis that on top of his 1-35-1 this past Sunday, dropped a pass, whiffed on a block on a screen (opening play) and was the target of the INT. No chance this guy is back next year IMO

Right. About 5 yards apart the whole way. I know you were highlighting his speed there but I’m assuming Kincaid was too deep on that route.

Just rewatched the first half of offensive snaps….woof: - Dorsey has to lose the RPO/Zone/Draw - What kind of route concepts are these? On a few plays, it was just run off the LOS and turn around. One play in the RZ 3rd and long, Diggs in motion on the snap and he just loafs off the line a few yards and looks back. It’s bizarre. - guys still seem to be clogged up in their routes - Allen is creating when nothing is there (what’s new) - Harty is JAG. - Morse and Torrence seemed to have a tough go - Disjointed for sure: as the OP stated, a few big Allen scrambles and off-script strikes kept those drives going… - Shakir with a nice out route on a 3rd down to gain separation for the 1st 16 points in the first half, aided by multiple turnovers and a goal line stand on 4th down. This offense can be so much better and I hope Dorsey is ready to unleash something new. - quick screen game is awful: 1st okay to Kincaid and a 3rd and long to Diggs both lost yards.

I’ll give you that it’s definitely a hinderence. It isn’t my most concerning thought about the offense. Despite their recent perceived success, I don’t thjnj they have the horses at WR2/3 and TE to win 1v1 consistently in a way that would benefit Allen, taking pressure of his plate by structuring more quick game. As discussed in numerous other threads, this is not a Dorsey nor Allen strength. I don’t think ot necessarily want it to be. I do however wish they had the option if they needed to.

Let’s hope it lasts a little longer than the original legend

That guy with the long bengals painted beard and bald head: 1) kudos to you man 2) I feel better about myself

Are we sure that we want the Rams to win though? I thought losing to an NFC team helps your playoff chances?

Awesome INT. Let’s see if Stafford and co gives it right back

Down 7 points, 3rd and 16 with a quarter to go. A draw play? Come on

Simulated pressures. Can be confusing to OL/QB both before the snap and during the play. Lots of teams do this.

So the guy has a strained calf muscle? The only thing I know for that is rest. He’s going to fight through this until when, the bye week?

1 year rental…or re-sign a 31 year old (in 2024) WR…..as much upside as he brings, I don’t think he’s what they need.

Looks like they had the line slide the wrong way, or Stafford should know they don’t have enough hats. My guess is that was on Stafford however it really was. And yes. He felt that. Just not in the way he would have liked lol

People who bring large signs to games are the worst

Amazing how fast the Bucs fell from glory…and on the same note, the rams too. Ironic they’re both on tonight as I have this thought

I always quietly like watching “top dawgs” struggle. Makes me feel better about our own insecurities.

Comparing the Bills PPG to other teams numbers isn’t the point I was making. Weighing offensive production of our team against Washington vs any other team vs a different defense doesn’t accurately reflect what we see on a weekly basis. Obviously each game happens in a vacuum, and when the game starts, it doesn’t matter how many points you scored last week or all season. My point was simply that when they’re in a rut, I hope they have the scheme and/or horses to take the load off of Allen’s back and find a different way to win.

So is the working theory (excuse) that the Bengals are struggling offensively because Burrow’s injury is hampering his ability to push the ball down field?

He played great all last year too. I think something (hopefully) seems unleashed in our DL this year. Whether it’s McD, slight schematic adjustments, more in synch, or whatever: they just seem to be taking it to another level

It isn’t until it is. When those downfield routes aren’t developing, and Allen isn’t in able to push the ball down the field the way he has been, they need a pivot option to be able to manufacture the same result. A running game, quick game, screens, etc. I think what the Bills do offensively is great, but it is no doubt more difficult to execute than quick game. I don’t want to see them make a large schematic switch, but it would sure be nice not having to start every 1&10 behind the chains.

I don’t know man. Im more worried about him catching the ball in front of me and running wild. That reality and Tua’s deep ball inconsistency makes me wonder if baiting them deep would be beneficial (I know this sounds ridiculous, but I’m serious)

That was not unnecessary roughness. If anything was to be handed out on that play, it would have been an Acadeny Award

Since we’re critiquing Dorsey after what I though was a sound game: - 1st and 10 negative plays continue - 2nd and long runs Its easy to rag on him when the offense falters. But then be sure to give him his props for the offensive success. Pass pro, running game, Allen’s efficiency…this is him too
