Not saying it was the wrong call. Just mostly saying I think the one the other way was BS and rarely see a call for holding the arm.

I agree but rarely see that called.

Oh makeup call. Hell of a pass too

What is Daboll doing?

Dart was just in for a concussion check and they run that play?

Lets go!!!

I dunno about that. That looked like good D to me.

I haven't seen much either but looks like great D and Dart makin plays.

That would make an interesting "mic'd up" moment.

Daboll is furious

Oh no Russ is gonna blow this lead

I read an article that says he has an oblique injury.

I am sure that plays a part.

I'm not panicking at all. We weren't going to go undefeated. I do have concerns over this defense and our offense as well though.

The Bills have been very good at getting pressure. They just have difficulty finishing it off and getting it home. They are also bad at losing edge contain.

For me it is not about this loss. I expect to get losses and this one doesn't bother me. This isn't the first game that I suddenly thought about this. It's just the first time I posted my thoughts about it in a thread I created. Thank you. Exactly.

IMO we should be playing our "A" game every week. None of this playing down to the opponent crap. That just leads to bad things and even losses to opponents that we shouldn't lose to sometimes. On a side note, I found this chart on X from "fantasy points data" that I found interesting, so I thought I would share.

Oh absolutely. Im not suggesting any of them are the equivalent of Andre Reed. That is interesting.

I thought he was still on the team. Did I miss something?

I don't have all 22 but I will comment some. For your first part when talking about Brady "throwing stuff at the wall and seeing what sticks..." That kind of aligns with what he said in the presser the other day. Im going to paraphrase here but he said something like "they wanted to see how the pats were going to play/attack us" or something to that effect. As for second half Josh, again I don't have all22, but he didn't have a very good game IMO. I'm sure there are things he would like a redo on and I expect that he will have a better game on the next meetup.

Im currently just looking at his passing charts for this. Excluding week 1 because for some reason that is now blacked out and I can't see it, he is 3/9 plus 1 int beyond 20 yards. He does have a bunch of completions right around the 20 yard line that I have not included. Yeah, I am not looking or saying there should be a large volume of them. I also don't think they should be reserved for just when we need superman but be shots that we take for chunk yards throughout the game. Expecting an offense to be successful just taking dink and dunk plays all game every game is just not going to work against good teams on a regular basis. Not only does it take too much perfection to regularly sustain long drives like that but good defenses can just take that away when they know thats all you are going to do. IMO we don't really have that "and?" guy. Not on the outside anyways. We have that TE guy I believe in Kincaid. We also have that slot guy in Shakir. They may not be the best guys at their position but I do believe they are studs.

Good post. Mostly what I meant in my OP. When I say downfield, I don't necessarily mean chucking hail marys.

Thanks. This enticed me to look a little deeper. 10 of those 19 were in week 1. Week 2 he had none. Week 3 he had 1. The last two games split the rest. It goes back to what I was saying... they really only use it when they need to put superman cape on. I think it needs to be part of the regular offense just to keep defenses honest. Every team needs some chunk yards.

Even if Josh audibles, he is coached to audible to certain plays based on what he sees.

No it's not a bad thing. It's a good thing. I reference it in my op that it needs to be part of our game. Its one dimensional though and if you never attempt the other stuff then they figure out that you are never attempting the other stuff. That makes an already hard thing to do, even harder. Every team needs to occasionally hit at least a couple chunk plays a game.
