Actually, I think offensive line penalties and the pressure/sacks they were trying to prevent had a good bit to do with offensive problems in the first half, though I had some frustration with playcalling (the weather sucks, it's 3rd and 2 - can't we run it?) 2nd drive - 3rd and 10 - sack 3rd drive - penalty on Morse (busted play), penalty on Dawkins,1st and 20 incomplete pass, penalty on Saffold (declined, 4 yd run), 3rd and 16 incomplete pass 4th drive - 9 yd sack makes it 2nd and 19 5th drive - Penalty on Dawkins, Penalty on Dawkins (declined due to 6 yd sack) 6th drive - TD (no holding penalties, no sacks) End of half Basically, 5 penalties on the OL (2 declined) and 3 sacks. I don't wanna finger point because we all know Dawkins was playing on one leg and the Jets DL is really fierce, but seems like these accounted for a lot more than 5% of our early offensive issues. 1st 3 drives in the 2nd half, we scored. Edit to add: I can see where a rebuttal would be "those problems are all because the Jets have a great defense", but, I kind of view them as separate issues - we've played other teams with good defenses and while Josh has had pressure, he's been able to function and we haven't had all those penalties. NE, Ravens and Titans all have good Ds (8, 9, 10 on points); Patriots have more sacks and a higher pressure % than Jets.

That was a bridge-burning question, by which I mean a question that burns through any bridge of trust and rappore between reporter and player. I don't see Wawrow asking bridge-burning questions. He asks tough questions sometimes, but the last bit wasn't even a question, it was a statement of the reporter's personal opinion. A fair question might be, "You mentioned that the offense wasn't in sync early and has stuff to clean up. That seems to have been a theme for the last several games. Why, and what can you do to fix it?"

Who's the asshat who asked the question about 4:14 in? "This offense has struggled to find its rhythm for 6 games now. Is that a concern for you?" (Josh says no, we're 10-3, just playing smart, complimentary football, not putting ourselves and our defense in bad situations etc) "This doesn't look like an offense that's good enough to win the Superbowl right now" Josh: "Okay" I don't want to assume it was Sullivan. Who was it?

I noticed that he seemed to be a little tentative.

I can't stop watching this one. "Freight train coming your way" https://www.newyorkupstate.com/buffalo-bills/2022/12/you-can-see-mike-whites-soul-leaving-his-body-fans-media-react-to-bills-pummeling-jets-qb.html "tougher than a $2 steak"

There seem to me to be a number of people who are miserable about winning. They want style points. Josh and the offense played a clean game in nasty weather where cold fingers and wet footballs could easily result in fumbles or tips and picks. That's really important because turnovers are pretty correlated to losing. I'm a little curious about your statement "throwing under 200 yds isn't going to cut it", because Josh threw for ~200 yds for the last 4 games - and we've won. Last game he threw for >300 yds, the Vikings, we lost. Passing yards are not correlated to winning. The Bills offense put up an offensive clinic in Miami - 497 yds of offense, 382 yds passing, almost a 2:1 advantage in 1st downs and TOP - and we lost. Getting the ball in the end zone or through the goal posts matters. Would I like to see us field more offense, sure, and we will.

Oh, now winning isn't enough, we want style points?

These are the same people who wear fleece and pile on the beach when it's like 70 degrees in December

I thought either the O false started or the D jumped on that previous play Wooooooo Herbert with the first down and a neat slide at the end. That’s what I want to see from Josh!

He’s a star.

Frankly I think turnstyles would provide more protection At least the fixed posts would get in the way

I know. I know.

C’mon Chargers don’t charger Just get the *****in’ first down

Nice throw by Herbert to avoid a big loss there

FIFY

OK, Chargers held and did not let Miami convert 3 and 19. Baby steps away from ‘Chargering’

Oh, we are

What do you mean by “something on it whenever he was sitting on the sideline”?

Now that’s more like it, Bolt-bolts

Memo to Frazier: contain Tua, he will run if you give him enough daylight

Well, Hey And I can’t help thinking if they took the FG instead of going for it unsuccessfully it would now be a 9 point game instead of 1 deep heave away from surrendering the lead

Yeah all I could think was, we got lucky we weren’t called for roughing today

So far they appear to be listening

Oh, no, more awful SNF graphics

Well….Yeah. That’s how it works when you got two lightening fast WR who can beat their coverage deep and track the ball
