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.
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.
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.
Honestly, we are bend but don't break and they like the short timing routes. Burrow is the closest in this era to Brady (not saying he is as good as TB, just his style)
Great win. Everybody knows about your RB but you guys have a really physical WR I liked as well. As far as South Alabama, they’re actually a sneaky good team. They have played completely unmotivated at times, but when focused they’re at a power 5 level. Great job by Gundy this year. I’m going to miss Bedlam.
Wow, he throws 3 times on his own five when his opponent has 2 time outs. Then at half time he said they had the right call on defense when the Colorado player blew his assignment allowing a TD. They should have never even been in defense. Awful job coaching and Sanders (QB) is it possible to average .5 yards per pass? I think he might land on that number by the end of the game.
It's very hard to celebrate big plays with replay and officiating. We didn't have replay or defensive holding at one point and I enjoyed those games as far as how they flowed.
I actually like the Bills in this spot. I always said it would be our time when nobody thought it would be our time. If Buffalo was a stock, we would have officially capitulated and this thread is evidence of that. Bengals on the other hand are back to being Super Bowl favorites and while I'm "buying" as far as the upside of the jungle cats the 49ers are not where they were at all the first few weeks. They nearly lost to Seattle. Imbalanced perceptions in this league usually lead to massive corrections .
Bills 31
Bengals 20
They have accomplished more with less time, we don't match up well against them, and they're playing better football right now. Who would present a more difficult match up for us? I prefer KC over them and the NFC is fairly weak. So I can't think of anybody.
