‘It’s Over!‘: LeSean McCoy Rips Patriots Head Coach
Matt_In_NH replied to Scott7975's topic in The Stadium Wall
Agree. While it’s true Brady had a lot to do with 8 Super Bowls and 5 wins, so did BB and the rest of the organization. It takes the coach/organization AND the qb. At this point the game has passed him by to a degree, he is not what he once was and he does not have the QB. -
Do you ask for loyalty?

I would have gone with a big skid mark

It was incredible how empty that stadium was watching it on TV.

Some other rebus items.

My words were not clear. Josh led the team in Carrie’s and he should not IMO. I would have to go back and look but maybe he fought for yards when up by 14? Is that your point? Josh did rush one time for. 5 yards up by 21 on second down.

First, we are not going to agree on this, that is clear and it is what it is, we can disagree. What they need to work through is Josh not taking unnecessary risks to his body based on situational football. Coaching him to understand and being able to "react" correctly based on the situation is not coaching Josh out of Josh. Knowing what to do in situational football should not be something he needs to stop and think about, it should be instinctual, not taking sacks when in FG range or when you have no timeouts at the end of a game for instance....same with not fighting for a yard on first or second down in the 4th when you have dominated the whole game. Beane, McDermott and Dorsey all seem to have that same belief if you listen to presser's. Beane talked about it at the end of the season presser as did McDermott and Dorsey after the Rams game and other times. Hits to the QB are going to happen, Josh running is going to happen, that is understood but sometimes fighting for a yard or 2 are not worth it. I don't see a huge difference between 7% and 5.58% you are quoting, sure 5.58% than 7% is lower but how many sacks are we talking over a season at those rates, maybe one per game or something. Meanwhile in the fourth quarter he ran a number of times and fought for yards. There are probably better stats to compare than sack% for this but I would rather not compare Josh to Cam Newton much anyway. Look at the first 12 or so games last year, Josh ran out of bounds, slid a fair amount and overall the offense while effective compared to the rest of the league was having some consistency issues. They were losing some games, after the Patriots loss at home things changed. I have heard it called the "cheat code" was entered, Josh was now a runner, his rushing attempts and yards went up for the last 5 games and gone was sliding (for the most part). This puts a lot of pressure on the defense and allowed for a fun playoff push. For me, the challenge for Josh and Dorsey long term is Allen being a top 5 QB while minimizing some of the physicality to keep him upright. I hope like heck we can go on for the next decade plus arguing this and having nothing happens to him, but the odds are probably not good for that. I want Josh Allen to be the QB of the Bills for the next 15 years and limiting wear and tear will be important for that to occur. I am good with using the cheat code in big games when it is needed. I have heard it said the risk is higher in the pocket than running. Not sure where that data is, I trust it is true but I also know we have had some close calls with Josh against the Chargers two years ago and the Bucs last year, both were when he was running. The Chargers play was particularly notable because he was fighting for maybe a yard, not worth it. The one play we saw a lot under Dabol and now last week is the read option...Josh keeps it most of the time and it rarely produces big yards, I see no need for it. For me, the challenge to Dorsey and Josh is to find a way to be that top 5 offense without using the "cheat code". Find a way to get the rushing yards out of Singletary vs Allen as much. As good as Dabol was I am optimistic Dorsey will result in a better offense and I beieve the strategy of the staff is to limit some of the hits to the QB. The game vs the Rams was interesting because Josh had the lowest average time he held onto the ball before throwing and broke the Bills record for completion percentage, another evolution to his game, another tool in their tool box. It is great they have the cool cheat code, but it comes with risk, sometimes unnecessary risk and most of the time it is not needed. Look at the game vs the Rams, Singletary was killing it....but in the second half they turned mostly to Moss and Allen. I don't think Josh should be the leading the team is carries when they are up by 21. What I got from the presser's is that this is more on Josh than the coaching staff, so back to the point, he needs to understand when up by 21 and you are moving the ball at will, fighting for an extra 2 yards on first down is not worth it.

"Ken Dorsey on Josh Allen's running vs. Rams: We didn't call too many runs this past game, it was just Josh making plays." This is interesting....they need to get through to Josh I guess. I wonder who calls that run read option play they used a few times vs the Rams and Daboll loved. From my perspective that play has not been very successful and mostly results in 1-3 yards gained.

Fish fans don’t even know how to tailgate right
Matt_In_NH replied to YoloinOhio's topic in The Stadium Wall
Not sure this is proof they are good or bad at tailgating. Is there video of a guy doing a bat spin and leap into the inferno onto a table? -
It's a long season.....stuff changes, teams learn/improve. The only thing that really scares me right now is potential injuries.

Not Edgewards? Does he have good burst, explosiveness, flexibility?

While this is awesome, it does not count as much when you have 4 turnovers.

Fixed it. -
Not only did the Bills not make the optimal calls but they made the complete wrong decisions after they scored with 13 seconds left. Squib, playing a prevent defending the sidelines....just wrong. Just lining up and playing it more like a typical drive would have been suboptimal but better than what they did. Basically they said, here we will let you try a 48 yard FG to tie. Not sure I am over it but I have moved on. Dabol probably learned from it as well as McDermott.

Is this another case of disrespect?
