BillsFan130 Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Some of those criticisms on Josh are ridiculous. He called out Josh twice for throwing to Diggs 1 on 1 when he had his man beat? You take that throw all day long.. There were probably 3-4 check downs he should have done, but to call out like 10 of those plays is just harsh 5 1 7 1 2 Quote
Joe Ferguson Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Keep throwing those long bombs, Josh. I don't care if it's 3rd and 2 or 4th and 1, just keep throwing those deep, beautiful balls. 5 2 3 2 2 Quote
GETTOTHE50 Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Calling a deep route for JA17 is like putting smack two inches away from a heroin addict's face. Hes going to take the shot every single time. Dorsey is an enabler as far as im concerned. 2 1 15 3 Quote
Richard Noggin Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 I don't care for the tribal/partisan divides of haters and supporters, because I have a brain, but it's almost always been true during Josh's career that the offense succeeds most efficiently when he's calm and seeing the entire field. Zen Josh hasn't been talked about this season, and it shows. We're still awesome because Allen is so good and the team is good, but we're not getting that serene, patient, absolute assassin that we got at times the last two seasons. More shades of the boom or bust prospect we expected, but still probably best case for most of us around draft time. 5 5 Quote
Miyagi-Do Karate Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 With the pressure that Miami was bringing, I don’t think Josh had enough time to go through to those 4th option checkdowns. 2 4 Quote
GolfandBills Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 People are just going to have to deal with these types of performances from him. It’s who he is you take the good with the bad 2 1 1 Quote
PBF81 Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Sometimes trying to score in three or four plays isn't in the best interests of the team. Among the questions are, is he missing those reads or is he simply going for the gusto more often. My biggest criticism is the lack of any kind of methodical approach to our offensive purpose. Score, yes, but sometimes you can assist yourself in winning the game by taking 14 plays and 8 minutes rather than doing it in 3 plays and 2 minutes. Also having gone unsaid in that, Allen shoulders the burden of this team, performance as well as coaching, more than any QB that I've ever known. I'm incredibly glad he's a Bill!!! 1 2 Quote

And Shakir (drop 7) Knox (drop 4) and McDermott (not taking a field goal) left another 14 points on the field. 1 1 Quote
Gugny Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 (edited) Wait ... so he's saying that deep balls are lower percentage options??? NO SH!T. That's why some QBs attempt more of them than others. Let's not forget the TuhROD era, when the only deep balls we saw were when defenders fell down. My only criticism of Josh yesterday was him not protecting the ball better when it was in his hands.

I’m more convinced now than I was watching the game. Josh and Dorsey know exactly what they’re doing. Our media and fans who are clamoring for run plays and checkdowns are out their minds. He makes the defense defend every blade of grass. Ignore our media, ignore the 4 yard checkdowns and make plays. Bombs away on the Pats = should have been 42-points on the board if Gabe doesn’t drop the ball. Yesterday he throws for 350 with a 50-yard drop from Shakir. Our QB is awesome and our OC recognizes that. But no media and fans, let’s run right out there are get Frank Reich or Joe Lombardi so we can lead the league in RB screens.

LEBills Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Lol one was an actual deep completion to Diggs that helped us start 17-0. I think Josh did determine where he was going with the ball prior to the snap many times when he saw single high and knowing he was going to have pressure really fast, rather than going through progressions. Especially on those play action shots, I’m ok with that. All this hand wringing about the game needs to relax. Miami was a tough out for us all year so it was always going to be a tighter game than predicted. Additionally, the Dolphins knew that they needed to force turnovers and so sent a blitz on nearly 40% of Josh’s drop backs. They certainly got their turnovers but they still let up 34 points and lost with that gamble everything strategy. No other team in the playoffs is going to blitz Josh like that and if they do he will make them pay again. Dorsey could do a little more to counteract some of the Blitzing which will help Josh. Screens, heavy packages, etc which will stop Josh from going deep if that is what Dorsey wants. But I think they knew this was coming and this was the game plan. Go Bills!! Quote

So I think the blitzes were disguised at times - the check down had to be determined pre snap - if you’re wrong it’s a possible pick. Or an incompletion that makes the D see what they’re doing is working - gets them fired up. And just near misses give you some pause like man, we can’t keep unleashing like that. The deep shots are also something they aren’t expecting as Darius Slay was saying on Twitter. Look at some of those replays and try and determine pre snap where you’d go. There were a few I guessed a guy that was double teamed somehow. 2 Quote
BananaB Posted January 17, 2023 Posted January 17, 2023 Holy *****, we had a WR that broke off his route and another that let a ball hit him in the chest. Ironically the two guys that have played the least football this season. If these plays don’t happen this game is a ***** blowout. We had two passes in the endzone that were inches away from being TDs, one of them that baffled me how it was overturned. Diggs and Shakir each dropped a 50 yarder. Knox dropped another mid range in tight coverage. ***** happens. Allen’s game wasn’t that bad, it’s just the talking heads that pick apart every mistake like he’s the only ***** player on this team. 4 1 1 2 Quote

Wasn’t because Dak played it safe all night. Why do you want the Bills to become the Indianapolis Colts on offense? Should we trade for Zack Moss again and start the 3 yards and a cloud of dust offense? 1 Quote
