It’s a low percentage play and especially dumb/unnecessary when Cincy hadn’t shown they could stop the underneath stuff on the 1st drive. Dorsey just ain’t ready for prime time. The shotgun run from the 1 foot line last week and going away from the underneath stuff last night before Cincy took it away shows he has no in game awareness.

Agreed. Might not be completely fair to Dorsey but something has to be done to salvage season and the offense looks disjointed on way too many possessions.

It’s a lot different when Chase is the one you’re faking it to. And Hyde has a lost a step. He had a rough night even though the D held up for the most part.

It was such a JV attempt at being creative. Murray and Shakir are at most getting 5 yards on that play. The safeties aren’t coming up because oh no Murray is running it to the outside and then wait shakir has it now. Cincy defense probably laughing their asses off after that play. Dorsey is in over his head. He’s the Gabe Davis of OC’s. 1 out of every 4 good games ain’t cutting it in the NFL.

Where is Jordan Palmer these days? Seems like he was a fixture in Josh’s development to stardom. Now nothing.

It feels that way with Davis and felt that way with Knox too. Stop forcing the ball to your least productive weapons. Option 1 Diggs; Option 2 Kincaid; Option 3 run Allen: option 4 Cook dump offs or outside runs; option 5 shakir. Everything else is low percentage.

Agreed. The D held Cincy to 54 yards rushing on 22 carries. After the first drive, we played physical and everything Cincy got was difficult. The 2 turnovers and inability of the offense to sustain drives were why we lost. The defense came to play.

Josh’s footwork in the pocket has regressed. 2020 and 2021 his feet, head, and shoulders were always aligned. Now when he goes off his first read, he looks like a raw QB holding ball away from his body and his feet stuck in the mud and it leads to some really off balance throws down the field. It doesn’t hurt him much in the check down game but it still takes yards away because he’s not getting it to the check down as quickly as he can due to poor footwork.

I’m not one to over react to a couple clips the camera catches, but the blank stares into the abyss instead of looking at the tablet and talking with your coaches and backup QB trying to figure it out on sideline is kinda concerning.

Agreed. Teams initially probably had to adjust pass protections towards him based on his past self. Now opposing offenses know you don’t have to worry about him at all.

A reverse with Murray and Shakir is scaring nobody.

How is throwing deep to Harty and then forcing it downfield to Davis protecting the defense? And the Bengals didn’t take foot off gas, they sputtered after Linval Joseph blew up Burrow. Our defense was actually extremely physical after the 1st drive and held up extremely well. Our offense stopped itself with dumbass play calls/decisions.

That’s called stopping yourself. You roll down the field on 1st drive taking the underneath stuff to Diggs, Kincaid and shakir then decide to start throwing the ball downfield to harty and gabe on next drive. Stick with what’s working until the other team stops it.

Harbaugh seems like he’s got a screw loose. Vrabel’s teams are always tough and I think his style would be perfect for Buffalo and Josh would respect him.

Dorsey looks in over his head, not ready for prime time. I don’t believe we’ll ever get to promised land with McDermott but he’s still a proven good head coach in this league.

I guess people don’t watch the Giants. They are a complete dumpster fire and Daboll looks out of his League. If I were Terry, I’d do everything in my power to get Vrabel. He’d win a championship with Allen as his QB.

Jackson almost had Int before Hyde came in late. Rousseau got his hand on ball. Burrow faced some pressure and was knocked to the ground semi regularly. It didn’t feel like he was comfortable back there after 1st 2 drives. And their running game was complete non-factor. I was pleasantly surprised by our defense. Our offense on the other hand looked bad for majority of game.

Linval Joseph’s stuff of Burrow and subsequent body slam was friggin beautiful and really changed the tone of the game for the defense. It’s too bad the offense was brutal for the majority of the game because that was winnable.

Pass could’ve had more touch, but Davis had a vertical of about 4 inches going for that ball. He’s not twitchy enough to get open, doesn’t have big catch radius, and his hands also aren’t the best. Other than that he’s good.

Not really. That kind of money to a guy that old rarely works. We had everything we needed to win a super bowl in 2021 season except poor end of game coaching. Since then Daboll left, Dorsey took his place and Josh and the offense has regressed.

His signing was direct result of 13 seconds.

It’s sad. He’s a shell of himself.

It was 1st down. 10 yards wasn’t worth a timeout right there unless you’re 100% sure. That wasn’t a slam dunk overturn.

Agreed. Mcdermott is not a good end of game coach.

what is dodson doing? Joseph and phillips both at 2 blockers there.
