Without being in the meeting rooms or watching films knowing the play design none of us can really answer these questions. There is no question about Josh's athletic ability. Its about how he is playing the position of QB. He has a skillset that can turn bad decisions into positive outcomes. The issue is if he is not making the right reads or adjustments then he is hurting the team. Its not going to always show by us simply watching the game. Its like in basketball you watch some guy go off for like 40 points and the team loses. On the surface you can see it was not because of him. But maybe he was not getting other guys involved or doing certain things on defense that actually hurt the team. Allen has the ball in his hand every play. He is an elite athlete so will always look like a star. But if he is surviving on that alone it could be detrimental. Again, not saying this is the case. But none of us really know. Just watching it looks like he is doing everything he can to win. Makes more good plays than bad. Yet overall something is not right either with him, the coaches or the supporting cast because its failing.

In 2021 the AFC East stunk. At one point MIA and NYJ were both like 1-7. Nobody took NE as a serious threat.

Offseason failure year after year. We try random rb's,. random wr's, random OL. So many on this board always want to buy the hype - our RB is the best ever, nevermind Cook has never been an every down back at any level, Murray, Fourette and whoever are just retreads that could be sitting on a couch if not on the Bills. Our WR's are the same, Harty had a year 5 years ago almost as good as McK average year and its a huge upgrade? Sherfield is an upgrade? Our rookie TE catches a 2 yard dump off 5x a game and its elite and unstoppable? Maybe the coaches actually buy this nonsense too and then we spend our resources on a ton of defensive players.

Which is why you need to go fast tempo with him. If you get 10 possessions and score on 5 you are fine with a turnover or two. But if your going slow and getting 5 possessions with even one turnover your likely scoring two-three Td's max. Which is what is happening.

If we lose to the Jets or Broncos at this point in the season with everything on the line then this team has business being in the conversation. They may as well start changes now to get more time to evaluate. Fire Dorsey at a minimum and see if an in house guy can do better. Then see who is available in the offseason vs what you have in house. Can Josh McDaniels do better than Dorsey? Or go nuclear and do what the Raiders just did.

Our punter sucks. Sadly we are in a field battle more often than not. Other teams punt from their own 10 and we start our drive at the 20. Then we punt from our 30 and they start their drive from the 40.

It appears that way. It’s starting to look far inferior from an execution standpoint. Allen and Diggs are superior athletes but the product is awful right now.

I’m trying to blame it on Hollywood - money, celebrity girlfriend, golf tourney’s, etc. All I know is despite the “numbers” he does not look right. It feels like he or the entire team is not as prepared. I don’t know. It always looks worse when it’s not working.

Meanwhile Hopkins has 188 yards and 3 tds the last two games.

We had two receivers trip on each other. That shows how we spread the field.

Allen is not a game manager. Our OL is not going to beat you up. Our receiving core does not win battles for the ball. Our D is boom or bust. Yet our coaches think we are going to wear you down and run out the clock.

It’s all a mess right now. This team is two lucky plays away from being 3-6.

Dorsey is terrible. The bengals were more aggressive up 11, 14, and 6 than we were. You would think they were trailing not us.

If that is your O you are a 6-8 win team. I will add 90% of his catches are check downs. Anyone can catch those balls in reality. The random CIN TE’s all had more legit plays. Not saying this to put Kincaid down just that’s overly hyping it to given the plays he is making. We have seen very few downfield catches, catches in the seem, cross routes. They are using him more like a fb at this point.

10-7

Been this way since 13 seconds.

Combine that with the halftime stupidity

Idiots. Idiots idiots

And that is not a good thing. Not a hit on Kincaid. He is a solid TE but should not be your WR 2 or primary target. If teams can take away Diggs in exchange for a 5 yard pass to Kincaid they will do it all day. We are stupid enough to make that trade sadly.

Allen getting a lot excuses. He is not making decisions fast. It’s helping efficiency but hurting the O.

Miller instead of AJE. Stupid challenge. Down 14 and playing for a long drive and have to hold them. The punt earlier. Since I said punt why is Martin our punter? He is awful. This team is officially going nowhere without an overhaul to the coaching staff.

Not getting another WR is killing us. Kincaid is a nice piece but if he is catching 10 passes and our primary target we are an average team.

We fall to 5-4 this is trouble. It’s an ugly 5-4 is the issue.

This is what failure looks like

CIN 42 with 50 secs left…
