I wish the Pats had this mindset and stuck with Drew Bledsoe

I will add. Everyone complains of injuries and guys getting worn down from a long season. Would be nice to have some blowouts vs teams like the NYG so guys can rest. Instead we played to their level and have our franchise QB on the injury report along with other guys.

Its about expectations. Are you happy with a playoff contender or do you want a championship. The question is - will it be easier or harder to win next year, the next, etc. With Josh Allen's age and contract plus other players age the time is now to win. So when the team is on track to "only" be fighting for a playoff spot it leads to disappointment.

Lets do an experiment - Dorsey stay home. Lets play a game with zero shotgun draws. Mix in shotgun with under center and playaction. Lets try Kincaid down the seam. More slants to Diggs with Harty running a deep post. Roll Josh out with guys running crossing routes. Let Josh take off if its open o run. Cook running upfield routes not just dump offs behind the line. Maybe try it and see how it goes. At least just ditch the shotgun draw for one game please.

He can at least play Taron Johnson role

OL is better: Maybe, maybe not Allen sacked 9 times this year vs 9 times last year Bills have 709 rushing yards on 162 attempts or 4.4 per vs 707 last year on 146 attempts or 4.8 per Pass rush is better: Yes 23 sacks this year vs 19 last year 70 pressures this year vs 58 last year 21 hurries this year vs 15 last year We still have Josh Allen: Allen last year better. I dont care if he is better at throwing the ball for a 1 yard gain. He is not throwing downfield yet still has more int's, less yards passing and rushing, less td's and is still getting hit a lot. Yards this year 1576 vs 1980 last year TD's this year 13 vs 17 last year Int's this year 6 vs 4 last year Rushing yards this year 131 vs 257 last year

Always hoping for the best - winning a super bowl. But this year will be tough. For seeding or even making the playoffs we have road games @ CIN, PHI, KC, LAC, MIA and home games vs DAL, NYJ (yes, jets will be another tough game). That is 7 games that are no walk in the park. So getting to 12-5 is not a guarantee meaning we may be fighting for a wild card if MIA does not stumble. Their path is a bit easier with road games only at PHI and BAL. They get KC, BUF and DAL at home. They dont choke games Pats, LVR, WAS, NYJx2, and TEN they are at 11 wins right there. They only need to squeak out 1-2 of the tough ones to get to 12 wins. Feels like they have a much easier path to 12 than we do. But anything can happen and that is why we play the games. Week 17 is looking like to will be huge. Would not be surprised if its a pre-cursor to the wild card game the next week.

Just pay the extra $ and get the all 22. Saving a few bucks is not worth missing out on the full footage.

The poll results on coaching experience explains a lot

A good 3 is what Davis does. He can catch zero passes in a game and it does not hurt you. You are not relying on him to be a threat every play. When your 1 is doubled and tripled he does not need to become the go to receiver. He will catch a long TD here, a big 1st down there. Many of his routes or decoys and when the D is sleeping you go to him.

Team "posing" to sign Johnson will be the one that signs Fournette.

I hated the Harty signing and so many people told me I was clueless. Uhh the fumbled punt he should have let bounce into the end zone…

3 plays for 1 yd was not good enough?

FYI Mahomes averages about 3-4 runs game and I dont think anyone considers him a running qb.

Its about smart running. Taking off and getting out of bounds. Not taking hits. Rolling out and taking off for the yards if they are there, throwing it away if not.

Allen is clearly more hesitant to run the ball this year. After a few weird looking runs in that Jets game its like they got in his head and told him to stop it. Attempts through 6 games 2023: 22 for 131 2022: 47 for 257 2021: 44 for 214 2020: 37 for 143 2019: 45 for 190

A few comments: 1. Last years team was rolling with 400+ yards in every game but 1. They had ~500+ in 2. This year they only have 400 yds in 2 of the six and never snifffed 500. 2. These stats ignore that Knox, McK, and Davis all missed a game. So your comparing guys with 6 games with guys with 5 games. 3. Yards - Despite all the targets/receptions yards matter. All had a lot more yards last year - 300+ more yards. You can throw know 100 1 yd passes and say how he is having an amazing year with 100 receptions, but if its for 125 yards who cares.

Hopeful he will be again. Last two weeks we are better with aje than Von. Von is just running upfield 5 yards. Having no impact on the game at all.

10 passes to Davis and Know for like 30 yards on 6 catches.

We need another weapon bad. Very bad.

I don’t think any of the trolls were here. I have not seen any one posted how great the o looks or our rankings in o. Most people saw what they saw and that was an awful performance that luckily we won or the season would be on the brink.

They had Von wondering around instead

Should miller be playing? He is just running up field every play.

And a miss

Bad pass and bad drop.
