Daboll getting cute and it backfired

That was the end of the quarter smart guy not a timeout
Yup. My bad

Second timeout burned by Josh this half. WTF.

Get line line TJ Watt. DPOY goes through Tre.

***** yeah Tre White!!!

Josh smacked his head really hard on that run. He followed that up with a very confused looking hand off and a ball thrown 10 yards short. Is he ok?

TJ Watt making a strong case for DPOY
-
I'm the first guy to point out Josh needs to be more accurate on these throws but the lack of ability by our receivers to make tough catches is getting really annoying.

Assuming it has no impact on our ability to win the division...obviously, yes. Treat it like a preseason game. Everyone starts but none of main guys play second half.

At this point I do want him to have a 300 yd game not because it matters but because I'm sick of hearing about it.
300 yard game from Josh likely means he had to throw more which probably means we lost. Let's save that for next year when we can afford it. I'll take efficient Josh who punks defenders with his legs and throws darts in the short to medium areas of the field. I'm way more concerned with the status of his ankle.

I mean sure...let's crown his ass after three complete games vs. Chargers, Browns, and Cards plus a couple quarters vs. Ravens and Bungles. Maybe Devlin needs to play a little more before he's considered better than any regular starter.
Allen still has a lot to prove. There are going to be legitimate doubters until he proves he can be the reason we're winning. There are a lot of games where he's only doing just enough, and others where he's falling way short.

I didn't read through the whole thread but I don't understand why there aren't major sanctions. Pats have been caught doing this multiple times, and the NFL has had every chance to re-write their rules to dissuade this type of practice.
If this isn't breaking any rules then the NFL should have to answer for it. Pats should have to forfeit draft picks at the very least.

Key word being “we.” Why do you suppose net passing yardage is a TEAM stat? Citing that statistic as proof that one QB was better than another is bull crap. You’d be better off just saying that Jackson made a couple more plays than Allen, was the better QB yesterday, and simply letting it go at that.
Agree to disagree. If we're not going to include things like sacks then what's the point of using any stats? Completed passes, incompletions, net yards, they're all team stats. They all require play design, blocking, route running, reading the defense, etc. I think it's perfectly fine to use stats to help illustrate an argument, as long as they're not the sole argument.
In this case, when you look at the way we failed to counter their blitz by finding hot routes, connecting on deep passes, adjusting protections, etc. (i.e. areas where the QB has a large influence) vs. the way they handled our pressure with their run game which included Lamar's RPO runs and scrambles, plus the key plays where Lamar came through to finish off drives, and you put all that into context with the offensive stats of both players, the picture becomes clearer as to who was the better player Sunday.

This is as intellectually dishonest as it gets and points to a complete lack of credibility on your part.
How so? Sacks are plays too. We gave up some bad ones.
7 minutes ago, GoBills808 said:He could also have had 3 more tds and lots more yards and YAC if our receivers had caught some of his passes.
I posted this earlier in the thread but officially we got credited with only three drops. Can't say I agree with that but those are the numbers. I agree our receivers need to take some blame as does Daboll. Josh isn't solely at fault here, but he is at fault.
-
Obviously we want to win as there are still scenarios where we could miss the playoffs but I do wonder if we want to be the 5th or 6th seed.
Let's assume KC keeps winning and one of them or NE is the three seed. Surely we'd rather play the winner of the AFC South, right? But what if that team is the resurgent Titans? Our biggest strength is defending the pass and one of our weaknesses is stopping the run. Henry is a monster. Pats look vulnerable. KC has a very weak defense this year. Who'd you rather?

How about context then...nearly 40% of Jackson's yards were YAC on a busted coverage.
True. Josh could have had some excellent YAC as well on some coverages we beat but he missed those throws. He was also playing at home whereas Lamar was playing on the road in a difficult environment, and without his top target for the majority of the game.

Check the stats. Passed for more yards? Not quite...Josh had 1 more yard, but that doesn’t fit your narrative, so it’s not true.
In terms of rushing, Josh only ran twice and he actually averaged more yards per carry. But that doesn’t fit your narrative so I guess it didn’t happen.
Also Lamar had the advantage of a short field and a blown coverage. If you want to say that he outplayed him marginally its fine, but you are straight-up lying to prove to your point.
Are we not counting all the sacks Josh gave up? He had 105 net passing yards compared to 139 for Lamar.
Counting runs, Josh had 114 total yards on 41 drop backs for 2.78 yards per play. Lamar had 179 total yards on 36 drop backs for 4.97 yards per play. No narrative, just numbers. I didn't use any adjectives to qualify how much he got outplayed. I just said he got outplayed. I didn't lie about anything.

Bills receivers got credited with three official drops yesterday. Interesting.

Did he really get outplayed by Lamar though? Maybe if you consider that Lamar found the endzone 3 times whereas Allen could only lead the offense to FG’s for most of the game.
Other than that, it appeared that both struggled versus good defenses
I think he absolutely got outplayed when you consider the context. Lamar was on the road in a notoriously difficult place to play vs. the slightly better defense by most metrics and without his top target for most of the game. Josh had every advantage and yet Lamar passed for more yards, ran for more yards, did it more efficiently, and his team won.

One of the main issues I continue to have with Josh is his poor starts. On the year in the 1st quarter he's thrown for 613 yards, 6.1 Y/A, 71 QB rating. It's just so rough when your QB comes out not executing. There were many people to blame throughout the game but Josh set the tone early with all those poor passes and the fumble.
I don't think dejected is the right word as he's obviously not ready for games like this (see NE) and so expectations were lower but it's hard not to be disappointed when the defense plays so well and you lose.
To those putting up the 146 yards number, don't forget to include his rushes and sacks (some of which were his fault). It was 114 total net yards on 2.78 yards per drop back. That isn't just the result of some drops and play calling.
-
We definitely got some suspect calls in our favor, especially on the final drive. Those were weak personal foul calls and that deep ball to Beasley wasn't catchable, trip or no trip.
I understand the case for PI to Foster but ultimately the DB was playing the ball and Josh just threw it up for grabs. You can't expect to get bailed out by the refs in that situation.

I would give him a D as well. 114 combined net yards on only 2.78 yards per play. A couple bad sacks which took us out of FG range. Two fumbles.
Receivers let him down in the second half but he just wasn't good enough vs. the blitz today. I thought the ankle injury really hampered him.

Josh almost lost his life today. He was blasted all game by that Ravens Defense. We have to protect Josh and give him time.Yes but some of that is recognizing when they're going to blitz and either audibling to better protection or a different play, or if they surprise you it's knowing where your hot read is and getting the ball out quickly. The fact he doesn't seem able to do that is exacerbating the problem. It's not like we're getting destroyed with four rushers on every play.
-
I thought Daboll had a really bad day. Him moving to the booth and reading the defense pre-snap for Allen was a big reason for the offensive turnaround IMO. Today we didn't have the proper protections when they blitzed and the times we did max protect or when Josh changed the play (likely due to whatever Daboll was seeing) we played right into their defensive scheme.
This doesn't excuse the awful performances from our QB and receivers, but it was a rough outing for our OC.

Good job Hauschka. At least someone's doing their job.
