I don’t mind if Josh only throws for 225 and 1 TD, I just want to see sound decisions making overall. 

Fair- But we also don't want Josh to turn into tyrod taylor or chad pennington.

 

Part of what makes him special is his high risk/high reward.

 

Now obviously he played dumb on monday and took too many unnecessary risks.

Bills at -9.5 are the biggest favorites this weekend. Second biggest are the Cowpokes at -9 over the Jets. 

That Cowboys line seems way out of whack. I’m not a gambler, but I see a good defensive low scoring game there.

Jakobi Myers is in the concussion protocol as well. That's the injury I'm watching from Vegas. That and Chandler Jones status as the week goes on.

Same.  Jury posting it for the sake of the weekly thread

The best QBs properly regulate their risk taking. If they’re comfortably ahead, they get more and more conservative as the game winds down. If they are behind in the game, then they take more risks as time runs out. Analytics folks have risk taking by QBs plotted out versus time remaining and score differential. That’s overlayed with expected win percentage. Brady’s risk curve was a freaking perfect match to EWP. Also this was a (valid IMO) criticism of Rodgers - he did not take enough risks when his team was down big and/or late. I can only imagine what Allen’s looks like.

It's not but it's definitely not a good look for the Bills own internal reporter.

 

It’s going to be embarrassing for her for sure. But it’s a hot mic that picked up a person who is knowledgeable speaking honestly.

Josh coming out confident, while acknowledging he let himself get out of hand,  in his abilities was the best thing I've heard today.  He's not going to be a successful QB is he's playing constrained. That's not him

Hard when Josh sees the field about as well as Helen Keller…

 

 

leave it to MIDermmot to throw everybody under the bus except himself…

That was taken out of context, "We need that" was talking about getting more people involved, not calling out players

I agree. The number two can be Davis, Hardy or who ever steps up.

The Raiders' interior defensive line had difficulties stopping the run against the Broncos. Even though they only allowed 94 rushing yards, they often found themselves getting pushed back by the Broncos' offensive line. Bilal Nichols had a subpar performance, and Jerry Tilley had his fair share of ups and downs. These included jumping Offside on a critical fourth-down play. To address these issues, it might be beneficial to give more playing time to other guys Byron Young and Nesta Jade Silvera. If the Raiders can't shore up their interior run defense, opposing teams might exploit this weakness by just running the ball up the middle.

 

This is what I saw too. A lot of lateral speed, and the outside stuff Sean Payton tried didn't work so well. But the Raiders interior run defense looked soft, and running effectively inside also plays against Crosby's strength - anything slow-developing, you can expect him to appear out of nowhere to disrupt it. He's that good

 

 

I just watched the condensed version of the game. I wonder if the Raiders lack of inside run defense was because they were playing to stop long passes. I know Russel Wilson has fallen off considerably, but he always had a very good deep ball. I don’t remember seeing him attempt anything downfield in that game. 

 

If that was by design, then I expect the Raiders to do the same on Sunday. That would require Allen to hit a lot of check downs and play small ball. Dorsey would have to call a lot of inside runs too. The Raidersp also have very good talent at DE. Crosby is a stud who I expect to go against the Bills weak link at RT. That might not go great.

 

On offense the Raiders are better than the Jets without Rodgers. Grapes is way better than Zach Wilson. Both WR rooms have a stud, but the Raiders are deeper there. Their OL is better than the Jets too - especially at OT (where the Jets are trash).

 

Combine all that with a short week and I see a much tougher game than the 9 point betting line. The Bills should be able to eke out a W at home, but they ALL need to come to play.

And I didn't actually have much of an issue with it against the Jets. In fact I was mostly happy with all the skill players. The Jets set out to take away the deep ball. The short and intermediate was there for the taking, but we didn't have a QB with enough patience in the 2nd half.

Yeah idk what's up with the brain farts. Funny how a team will struggle and then when they're up against a wall they go fast paced and start humming. It tires out the defense. On Monday when the Bills went hurry up. Josh was hitting his guys (for the most part). Why wait? If josh wants to be unscripted why not let him way before we are losing to zack freekin Wilson.

I'm in a crap mental state and I'll own it.  I need Josh to prove he can take the easy stuff, and there aren't many teams that will make him do that.  Until those games happen, I just feel blah

V: maybe I can pick you up a bit...

 

Listening to wgr while driving yesterday. Virgil (from somewhere) called in...he was well-spoken, clever, and made an interesting, incisive point.

 

Immediately, I thought: hey that must be "our" Virgil.

 

So, you got that going for you....

It's no wonder the players always say "the feds are listening" when they are mic'd up.
