Low Positive

All of you on here yell "Nobody takes accountability!" and then when someone does you parse the statements to somehow make it a bad thing that these guys see that their substandard play got a guy with a family fired? Dorsey has a family and kids that he'll have to take out of school in the middle of the year. Ken Dorsey needed to go now, but there are personal costs to all of this, and these guys know and like the man.

I'm going to partially agree with you. I have no idea about QB mechanics, but I do think that defending Dorsey by finding flaws in Josh's game has become the cause celeb amongst the NFL's chattering class. But the stats tell us that the Bills OL is actually playing pretty well this year. The advanced passing stats on PFR are a fun read for stats nerds like me. My eyes tell me that Joash is bailing on relatively clean pockets a lot this year. He is being blitzed a lot (98 times which is 7th most in the league). Josh is ranked 24th in pressure percentage but he's scrambled the 4th most times. That's bailing on clean pockets. But Lamar and Mahomes have similar numbers. That's just who these guys are and teams should stop trying to turn them into pocket passers. The numbers tell you that Josh Allen is playing well, and he is. Nothing jumps out in the numbers but the TOs. There are lulls in games, but it's the costly TOs that are killing the Bills. Not all TOs are created equal and Josh has had two that have cost us games (that fumble in NY and the INT on the first pass in NE). If those two don't happen, we win those two games and the Bills are 7-3, in first place in the AFC East and contending for the one seed. I also think that if the Bills had been at 7-2 they don't lose that game to the Broncos. Sometimes seasons (and jobs) come down to a few plays. But what do I know? The RPO numbers are interesting. They've run 48 RPOs this year and only handed the ball off 5 times for 28 yards. They are fooling no one. But then again, the only teams that have double-digit handoffs from RPOs are the Ravens and the Eagles. Well, Taysom Hill has 12 rushing attempts and 0 passing attempts out of RPOs, but he's not a QB. I'm beginning to think that RPOs don't really work as well in the NFL as they do in college and that you will start seeing fewer of them in the near future. And for the angry yellers, Josh has the 6th most PA pass attempts in the league at 65.

The current injury reporting policy was implemented in 2017. You can read it here: https://operations.nfl.com/media/2683/2017-nfl-injury-report-policy.pdf I don't remember how it was before that because I wasn't following this stuff as closely because the Bills were mediocre to bad most years. I didn't really care if EJ was limited at practice or if Tyrod had a hurt wrist that could prevent him from not throwing the ball down the field.

Just got a notice that the NFL is investigating this. What's funny is that the Bengals' PR team is who posted the video of him getting off the bus with the wrist brace. If anything comes of this, they only have themselves to blame.

After last week, there is no garbage time for the Ravens.

The Lamar hate amongst Bills fans is strange. I think that it's because he was drafted after Josh and won MVP in 2019 while Josh was still developing. I really like watching him play. Hey, Baltimore! They're going to run it every down. Maybe try to stop that.

Would you say the same thing about Brady?

In case anyone wants to know why it seems like Kirk is rooting for the Bengals, look who's the starting QB for the St. X Bombers: https://stxsports.net/sports/football/roster/chase-herbstreit/5897

Herbstrit really showing that he lives in Cincinnati.

Coach's son

Well, that's that.

Ravens have probably lost their best pass catcher for the season.

Yes he does.

All of Cincinnati thinks that.

Lil Joe can't play without 2 number one WRs. Just can't do it.

12 Men. FIRE ZAC TAYLOR!!!!!!!!!!!!

They're just chanting R A V E N S.

It is terrible for a team as talented as the Bills or Bengals

What do Ravens fans chant?

I know that this is not going to agree with what your eyes are telling you, but Gabe only has been credited with 3 drops this year. Tyreek leads the league with 8 in one fewer game. Rookie sensation Puka Nacua has 7. The really alarming thing is rookie Jaxon Smith-Njigba has 6 drops on only 48 targets. That is a drop percentage of 12.5, the highest among WRs.

The most interesting part was when he was asked how he would defend Josh Allen as a DC. He said that if Josh is not running anymore, you can defend him like you would any other QB. “If you don’t have to worry about running and making splash plays with his legs then you’re just going to play coverage like teams have been doing,"

Just open it in an incognito or private window

I love how the national media tries to turn everything into a controversy: https://www.si.com/nfl/2023/11/16/buffalo-bills-joe-brady-josh-allen-best-quarterback-nfl

And the Bills just fired the OC mid-season, so disfunction in Buffalo is THE story of the week. At least until the game tonight.

I think hating everything about the Buffalo Bills organization is like slipping on a pair of comfortable slippers for some fans. It just feels like a return to the natural order of things.
