2023 NFL Season - Week #1 - Bills at Jets - Post game game thread

[stevestojan]

The worst thing is you can almost feel the downhill slide we’re now on. This is like the 90’s SB era ending. Our core isn’t getting younger. This was that bad. 

[Shortchaz]

Some of the criticisms of Dorsey are probably misdirected. Where he/the staff have failed is not making josh a better quarterback. He (josh) needs to learn: better situational awareness, how to put some air under the ball, how to successfully manage different types of games.

In some ways the game is very simple.  Don’t turn. It over, tackle, limit penalties.   Josh lost this game putting the ball in harms way.  He says he should not do that but he goes and does it routinely.  

[BuffaloSufferer]

Dorsey and McDermott have to go. Won’t happen during the season unfortunately so they will be drag us down once again and this year will be wasted. Both useless.

I have saw better Hamster races than that BS

Here’s a great stat:

 

Zack Wilson in back to back years has came back from double digit deficits against the bills.

Can you get more of an embarrassing stat than that?

[billybob71]

McD missed a chance when Daboll left to go out and find a bright offensive mind OC who could continue to work with Allen hold him accountable and bring out the best in him, took the easy route and promoted from within and let the player pick who ihe was comfortable with, not sure that was the best idea.

I actually was ok with Dorsey most of the game. Against a great defense, we used Cook well, kept some drives going, safe first down plays... but Josh f'd up big time.  You can't win with 4 turnovers and punt return against for TD.  This game is all on Allen. Road game on MNF against a championship quality defense, you have to limit mistakes, Dorsey had a game plan to do that, Josh didn't hold up his end of the bargain.

 

Respectfully, wtf are you talking about? Every single time Dorsey called up a Cook run on 1st down it went for a loss. How does any QB succeed when they only have 2 downs to get over 10 yards? Especially against one of the league's best pass defenses?

 

You beat good pass rushes with play action and screens. The Jets' only defensive personnel weakness are the linebackers.

 

Zero play action. Zero screens. No mismatches in the middle of the field. 

 

Fire Dorsey now. Replace him with literally anybody who can present a coherent game plan.

I am about a ten on the concerned  meter with Josh. I don’t know what’s up with him.  Jets have a great D but there were plays to be made. The ints were horrendous.. I don’t know , maybe he feels like he needs to make that Espn highlight every Down. Why is he tryjng to trying to hurdle two guys when the first down marker was five yards away. He is just doing really strange stuff. Both Mcd and Diggs trying to tell him to be smart use his head. Something ain’t right. 

 

I’m at another loss that Mcd can’t somehow lead this group when everything was handed to him on a silver platter. Rodgers was gone, Wilson is not good. The crowd is out of the game and it just seems like I’ve watched this story numerous times season after season. Keep the other team in it just enough to  Self destruct. 

Running the ball on 2 and 15 up the middle against a formidable front wasting a precious down in Ot?

 

Sherfield was he inactive? heard a lot of good things about him. Davis two targets but maybe it’s just a product of his route running.

 

for a team that wants home field this is a really bad loss. I’m extremely pissed. 

 

 

 

 

 

First pick im fine with and the one to Davis was the right read at least, the other two turnovers were horrendous though

 

Davis can only run go routes I don’t understand it

By the way, has Cook ever gained a yard after contact?  Even one yard?

Yes. But rarely.

He has crazy speed, but has all the shifty moves of a cinder block. Throw in that he rarely breaks an arm tackle, and I'm hoping there is a plan B.

I don't feel like laying down in front of a train to the extent I did after the Dolphins or Vikings game last year. Does that count for anything or am I getting deeper into the Stockholm Syndrome? 

It is a worthy argument, but I think this is worse, for reasons I’m too tired to get into right now.

Sure, based on their entire body of work, Mahomes is better than Allen.  Anyone who believes the contrary is the ultimate homer😂

Yeh and he just lost to the lions at home who are the 20th rated defense in the league 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

Special teams (other than the kickers) looked sub-standard & the offense was pretty bad including a lot of Josh’s passes- Cook is no Motor! Better with LM back there.

Dorsey maybe needs to attempt tough love now. Forget if Josh doesn't want to watch the film - force him to. Forget it if he has dinner plans - get him to do extra training. I maintain he is the best Quarterback in the league when it comes to physical ability. But he makes too many stupid decisions.

You know i think we played scared, and that's a problem especially after Rogers went out. Jets have a good defense but come on they are not the 85 bears

 

I don't think they played scared. I think the Bills coaches failed to make solid adjustments, couldn't handle the Jets Defense, and Allen was sleep walking in the second half. 

 

Things will improve but I still have serious doubts this team can represent the AFC. That another story for another time. 

[TheFunPolice]

Dorsey is too much like Allen.

 

One hothead encouraging the worst impulses of another.

 

I love Allen's fire and passion but someone needs to work with him and reign in some of that stuff.

[TBBills Fan]

Turnovers and penalties.  Gotta clean that up 

[Billz4ever]

Unless there's some changes from Dorsey, this offense looks the same or worse as last season.

 

Josh has made some poor decisions, but I've seen nothing from Dorsey to show me he's found the ability to adapt to what the defense gives him at all.
