If we could afford him for sure I'd rid myself of Gabe. But the Bills don't have any cap space, unless the Raiders want to take Von and Knox to make up the difference.

Well come Sunday I expect more of the same. Harris and Murray used sparingly. Running out of shotgun, with the same delayed handoffs and draw plays on 2nd-10 for -2 yards to put us in 3rd-12. I think Kincaid will have his normal day at the office with 2-14 yards. He’ll catch the ball and either fall down immediately or get tackled immediately. It will be all Allen and Diggs again doing all the heavy lifting, and Gabe will make his usual one play in the game that keeps the flickering candle of illusion alive that he is really a #2. Can’t wait for Dorsey’s presser today with the media when we spend half the interview on jet lag, a quarter on Josh Allen running less, and the last quarter on Dorsey explaining that he likes to keep defenses off balance by not being too predictable with play-action.

Do we have a recent 40 on him, a vertical? Where is this race horse athlete?

I understand that. Thanks for the great knowledge. He’s 24 now, and the Bills spent a 1st and 4th to get him. He’s at 17-118-6.9 ypc. I’ve said it in the off-season that the Bills inability to get Hines the ball was ominous for designing anything meaningful for Kincaid. We haven’t seen one pass attempt to Kincaid longer than a check down outside of one throw in the Raiders game. Remember this was THE GUY according to Beane.

And Kincaid is not all on Dorsey. I’m not seeing athleticism out of him that would allow him to be this mismatch nightmare he was billed to be. He’s not big enough to bully, and I’m not seeing any burst, speed, agility or snap on his routes. Allen said he settles in zones and pockets, but I’m not seeing anything past that.

So your take away is the defense is equal or near equal as guilty for this loss? Yes I’m listening. WGR hosts could really benefit from using a pen and paper to actually write down observations from the game, because they’ve been all over the place and can’t tell you anything specific or concrete about what happened or why the Bills lost this game.

Well this is where basic understanding of math would help. Understand that Cook running out of shotgun isn’t working, so maybe run straight ahead from under center with Harris and Murray? The Jags had 29 minutes of possession to the Bills 15 minutes at times in this game. This team under Daboll and Dorsey is allergic to just lining up and running the ball. And I disagree with you. Davis was a complete no show again until garbage time. He kills the offense and hopefully this is the last year with him occupying that much snap count. It was 11-7 after 3. Bills punted 7+ times. Most times with 3-4 play drives. They hung the defense out to dry.

5 games in and we’ve yet to anything out of Kincaid. He catches the ball, so the hands part is correct. But does he have any speed, or ability to truck people or agility to shake people or snap of his routes? Dorsey has no imagination so this is what you’ll get. And Sal C telling everyone that it takes 3-4 years for a Tight End to get comfortable in the league.

This is a good point. The Coaching staffs constant badgering on Allen’s running. But this offense is the same. It’s Allen and Diggs. Gabe’s stat line looks good, but his production all came with 5 minutes left. He was 3 for 30 for 85% of the game.

Maybe WGR will need to put on a different quality show this week as opposed to last weeks “We own the league” continuous parade they threw for themselves. But I’m sure the opening sentence from Joe and Jeremy this morning will be about their latest Super Bowl odds and Allen prop bets. We’ll get the usual from Sal C about how it will take them 10-days to get re-acclimated to the time change.

Yeah the time of possession at points was 29 minutes Jags, 15 minutes Bills, then later it was 31 minutes Jags, 17 minutes Bills. Too many punts in this game with no TOP. 100% on the offense and Dorsey.

Let’s bring in the Bills Automatic Excuse Generator Sal Capaccio to explain again how the Bills have wanted this for years because they signed Jacob Hollister 37 years ago.

1st Down - Cook up the middle -2 yards 1st Down - Cook up the middle no gain 1st Down - Cook run right -6 yards

Agree in this game. I don’t have a problem with Cook being the lead back in general, but he was ineffective right away today going sideways, and this game required more straight ahead North-South running.

Eisen just tries to crack joke after joke.

They act like they had to travel to Australia. It’s 5 hours.

I don’t know why he was even out there. Make Lawson inactive so Von could get 5 snaps in the first half. If that’s all he’s going to do they could have just made him inactive for the Jags, Giants and Patriots and activated him at Day 21/21.

Running the ball with 5 minutes left….

Shakir ran that too casually and too flat. Drew the corner directly to him. He didn’t run it 100%.

My quick observations: - Dorsey running the ball with 5:00 left in the 4th for -2 yards to Cook. Nice to see we’re still doing Jets final drive crap. - Dorsey, 14:30 left in the 4th goes in a 3 Tight End set and tries to roll Allen out and throw? I think we got penalized on that play, absolutely stupid call and I was yelling before the snap this is a stupid formation. - Dorsey had a drive in the 4th where Harris runs for 6 on first down, then we go pass-pass-pass and have to punt. - Gotta love McDermott lining 32 year old Hyde up 1 on 1 with Calvin Ridley in a critical spot. Again, any Bills fan was saying they’re going to Ridley here before the snap….. - Nice to see Von on a 5 play snap count today, making Lawson inactive on a day where we were desperate for Defensive Lineman. Why was he activated if he wasn’t 100% ready to go?

Yeah that’s over. He can catch dump offs. 5 games in and we haven’t seen a route with any depth yet. I still have no gauge on his game speed. We’ve yet to see a real route where he does anything real. We’ve got a $10M Tight End we don’t use, and a 1st around Tight End that catches 2-4 passes a game for 20 yards.

Offense is intact. They’ve had 2/5 games where they haven’t shown up.

Allen would have felt/recognized that pressure and burned that Safety cheating down like that.

It could have been argued against the Raiders and Washington that Allen/Dorsey shortened the average depth of target, but in the Miami game Allen was on fire, with several throws down the field. I think the answer is probably a combination of better offensive line play, and strong performances by Stefon Diggs.
