What a damn run!

I think Cinci still going 0-3

That kick wasn't even close

Oh I agree. I was just sayin Yes, the passes he makes are busted coverage after having 6-8 seconds in the pocket.

Yeah it's still a drop but it's a drop because the defender got his hand on it and ripped it away. If the pass had some velocity the defender wouldn't have gotten there.

Both would have been TD passes if Mayfield had a better arm

Hurtz is over hyped.

The difference is the degree of difficulty of those longer passes with the way defenses are going to play us. We become a dink and dunk offense and for that offense to work you need YAC to contribute. Josh is currently 26th in the NFL in completed air yards. IOW those 20 yard passes aren't happening that often. It's 0-5 yard passes that are happening now. To play that kind of game you are in a big hole with every mistake. This last game Josh was in 3rd and long 10 out of 16 times. Most of those were between 9 and 12 yards to go. In actuality it was worse than that because some of those third and shorts were while we were chewing clock in the 4th.

Daboll had a bunch of these boneheaded calls too, which is why I didn't like him much either. Personally, I don't mind Daboll as OC but I think if we do anything we should hire a different OC and change up this predictable offense some.

I disagree. Josh gave them the ball 4 times and McD held them to 22 points. Outside of the one big run, I thought the D played well.

They should have bit the bullet and dumped Wilson and kept White for a backup.

If they are going to do that then play action from under center would be a better play call.

A lot of their runs were poor tackling. It wasn't just selling out to stop the pass. Hopefully the Bills have a good day of making tackles this week.

This is part of the problem. We are in third and long too many times. 3rd and 10, 8, 9, 8, 8, 12, 10, 2, 4, 2 That was the first half (not in order as I put the shorts last.) 3rd and 20 (this was the int,) 5, 7, 2, 2, 2 This was the second half. Some of it was just running game burning clock. That doesn't even include all the second and longs where a lot of times it's greater than 10. Josh is having to make perfect plays on third down too often and this is where the dink and dunk and poor play calling like draws on 2nd and 12 that everyone in the world knows is coming will collapse against teams like Miami that can put up points. If they want to dink and dunk, that's fine. They need to do a better job on first and second down though. Play calling needs to be better too. The first two games the play calling was ok but this game it was pretty bad.

I dont think it will take rushers of their caliber to get by Brown. He is very slow off the snap. He also has injury back problem history so it wouldn't hurt to have better depth. Assuming Collins can still play of course and wouldn't just retire at the notion of having to play.

Brown looks decent because the help they have been giving him IMO. With better tackle play, we might have a better passing game.

I lost the tweet but it showed that after 3 weeks Tua has the exact same stats after week 3 of last season. Like to a "T." yards, comp% etc. I personally never cared about that stuff. Are they supposed to just kneel the ball for 2 quarters or something? Thats a little different. In our games both teams are affected by the weather. In Miami games, Miami sits in the shade while the visiting team is in the blistering sun. It's like a 10 degree difference.

Google says this

Ouch those are pathetic. Just as bad as a certain Bills QB that ran out of bounds behind the LoS on 4th down. He deserved to get slammed. He was trying to battering ram Mosely with his head before Mosely slammed him. The junk hit you can see if you scrub the video instead of letting it play on its own. Just pause it and drag the slider. I'm not a guy that would defend POS Mosely either. It's just what I saw. You dirty dog you.

Take that Zay Jones Jedi Move

Hell he even starts making it before the hit occurs.

He was body slammed by Mosely just before this but that was also on Mac. Play was over and Mac was trying to barrel ram mosely with his head.

I can see it if you scrub instead of letting it play on its own. Jones gets up and gives Sauce a quick "love tap" in the junk with his left. This was also after just after Mac tried ramming Mosely and Mosley body slammed him on the same play. I put that vid in a different thread.

The Bills currently rank 9th in yards per play at 5.6. Last season they finished 2nd with 6.1. 5.6 isn't bad comparatively if you remove the outlier Dolphins that are like 10+. I honestly expected that to be worse because it looks worse.

It is a big deal. When we have to be in dink and dunk mode its far easier for an offense like the Chiefs who throw for 3 yards and run for 10 or 20 more than it is for us who throw for 3 yards and mostly fall over for another yard. It has been better this year than years past though.
