It's becoming common now. New analytics. I think the thought is the combined likelihood of getting one two point conversion in two tries, with the potential that it occurs first (which essentially wins the game) is better than the likelihood of winning while playing for the tie and OT.

Did Beane consult with you before he did this? It doesn't seem like he did.

It seems to me this offense performs best with 3 Wide and Kincaid split out. Shakir has been solid and has that agility and acceleration in short spaces that was similar to Cole. I don't know where Knox fits in anymore. I certainly hope Dorsey doesn't try and force this 12 personnel concept onto the offense when he gets healthy.

It was a hypothetical. If we had 5 quarters.

This is probably my favorite response in this thread. Are we that good at in game adjustments or are we that bad at pre game preparation?

Sounds about right

Do you think we would have won or not? Plenty of threads to air complaints in today. This is a simple question.

We outscored the Bengals 11-10 after the 1st quarter. Defense found it's footing and offense seemed to do so in the 4th quarter. Honest question. I think it's likely. If nothing else, we would trade some blows.

I hate that as well but understand why it happens

I don't agree with the lack of work ethic. He's seeing ghosts right now and we don't have anybody that can explain why, next steps. Nobody to give him understanding or confidence. It's just not a good situation.

I was commenting on this stuff prior to the year starting. It's not new. Josh is a "see it" QB. He's not a timing or rhythm QB. He has appeared at times in the past to be this type of player. This is where Dorsey comes along. I feel Dabs simplified Josh's progressions. He ran more pre snap motion to signal what a defense was doing. His whole philosophy was to build around what Josh does well. Dorsey just expects Josh to execute. Perhaps that's not an unreasonable ask for a franchise QB, but you can see the results.

I wonder if Sean is limiting no huddle? It's not usually something a defensive coordinator would endorse.

This is a veteran team. They're fighting, but I'm sure it feels uphill a lot and that gets exhausting.

Fumbling on the 10 yard line in the 4th quarter could be called many things.

Under no condition do you ever challenge a 9 yard completion in that situation. If it is really that obvious the league would do a quick review and overturn it. Once the league doesn't do that, it's not obvious and at that point not worth the risk.

We need to win when we allow 24 points and offense is our strength. We again, come to life at the end. When it appears like Allen ball.

You risk a timeout over 10 yards when you need the ball back? Are you serious?

Totes Billsy

He's much better at reading where the ball needs to go and gets it out quickly and accurately. Josh plays that way when he's "in the zone". When he's not, he's indecisive, pats the ball, looks like a rookie.

Billsy? Too soon

It’s the worst look he has.

Defense has done enough to win

Same 😄

I was hoping they would go with that version

My girlfriend, who is not from the US, said #25 sucks. I said good job honey, you're learning.
