Can anyone help me out and point me to where I can find the number of blitzes the Bills had today against the Jags?

 

Just want to know the number and proof of this to dispute someone I know who said the Bills were burned "blitzing on third down every time." I doubt they did this much and it was more likely simulated pressure most times.

Thanks.

I mean the Patriots being shut out at home and falling to 1-4 on the season kinda warms my heart a little.

It was never garbage time in this game.

1st 3 quarters we played like garbage. A last flourish against prevent ... not impressed.

Garbage time?  If the Bills make the stop on that 3rd & 6 that Lawrence hit the big pass on the Bills have the ball with 2 minutes left needing a TD to win.

 

 

A modicum of offensive competence for 50 minutes of the game and we wouldn't be talking woulda, coulda, shouldas.

That's a big ad hominum leap. But hey, deal how you have to deal.

I'm sitting here today watching guys like LaPorta and Addison be contributing members of their offense. While Kincaid is catching a couple 4 yard passes a game.  Fun.

Ran off field....but it looked weird. Rough season for loverboy.

I lived in the UK for 2 years and was back and forth across the pond multiple times.

 

I can assure you that young, professional athletes don’t suffer from the same ailments that your normal Joe does. Especially the way the Bills scheduled the first day in the UK and what they have at their disposal.

 

The Bills failed to execute on offense today and it cost them a ball game. Jet lag didn’t. 

Guess I don’t buy that young professional athletes don’t suffer the same ailments - particularly having been to Europe w several young athletes, who were all off kilter by the change (prob not enough booze as us non-professional athletes). 🙃

 

Obvi the “lack of execution” cost us (See: NFL Football), but Josh and crew haven’t been doing the thing for 2 years, so who knows the travel effect on them. 🤔

 

Last week they beat the highest scoring, “impossible to stop” team, this week they flew to a crazy different time zone, had a ton of injuries and looked a step slow.  You tell me… 🤷‍♂️  

 

Good news, we’ll learn more next week… 🔥

The Jags made us one dimensional on offense.  And Dorsey did not adapt.  How many times did they call that delay to Cook out of shotgun formation?  And it did not gain a yard.  They showed the data on how good Josh has been with play action, but it was used minimally today.

 

We did not do what we do best on offense and let them dictate the terms.

Dorsey called 10 runs to RBs. Actually, less than that as some of those runs were called by Allen at the line (ALERT ALERT). 

 

Game was close most of the day. Absolutely no reason to completely abandon the run that quick. That in and of itself was a huge failure by Dorsey today.

[RunTheBall]

I’ve been a Dorsey critic last year, a Dorsey apologist so far this year, but this game is 75% on Ken “Shotgun” Dorsey and 25% on the drive killing drops (Knox, Davis, Cook, and Kincaid not reaching for the 1st).

 

Dorsey sucked. This game plan was a failure from the beginning and he should have abandoned it well before 6 mins left in the 4th quarter. Some games you just can’t run, and instead of trying the same shotgun draw over and over he should have ran Allen. I am convinced that if he had told Allen to start using his legs and called designed runs, between he and Diggs they could have won this game ugly. Where was Josh under center?? Where the HELL is Kincaid in the passing game?? Has this guy ever ran a seam route? WTF is Dorsey doing with our TE’s? Knox is invisible and when he’s not, he’s dropping balls. I am rapidly dropping off the Knox bandwagon.

 

Obviously running Josh didn’t happen. I’m disgusted with this offense. There is NO WAY we should only have 7 points after 3.5 quarters. I’m sorry, the Jags have a middle of the road D. They shut us down. Allen didn’t play great, he didn’t suck, he played pretty good. That should be enough to win against F’n Jacksonville. Dorsey flat out sucked.

 

Our D deserves a friggin medal except for Elam who should be shot into the sun. Down 6 starters, guys dropping left and right, and they still were making plays and keeping the team in the game. Yeah, there were more plays to be made but how many red zone turnovers can you force without the offense doing a damn thing to help?

 

Fk London, Fk Goodell, Fk the refs, Fk the turf, fk the Pats*, Fk everything I need another drink.

 

We are on to Cincinnati (New York)

 

PS Don’t get me started on the injuries. If Milano has a combo fracture/ACL that’s potentially career threatening. Daquan Jones is as big a loss as Milano he’s been playing at a pro bowl level.

I don't think anyone is disagreeing with this. However, it too micro of a theme and point. 

 

Most Bills fans are beyond being good and having the team making the playoffs. Expectations are much higher and they should be. 

 

You have an elite QB for several years now. You have experienced players and multiple playoff appearances. The goal posts have clearly moved as they should be. Seems like they haven't moved much for you? Maybe I'm wrong here. 

 

I'm just not ok with great regular season records and a modest playoff experience. I think most want to see the Bills at a minimum in an AFC championship game. A super bowl appearance isn't an unrealistic goal. Thus far under an experienced and elite QB the Bills team hasn't even sniffed a SB appearance. Missed opportunities...At some point, you have to look at why this is happening? What changes need to be made? How can you get better? 

I don't disagree but I was making a "micro" point in response to those trying to insinuate Allen was a problem here or over the last few years.  The "Josh Allen Experience" that the poster was disparaging is the ONLY reason Buffalo has been relevant in the NFL over the last 4 years.

 

And for the record the Bills did sniff the SB in 2020 & 2021.

Yeah the offense needs to figure it out, it feels like they have all the pieces to be a great offense. Yet game in and game out they make it look hard, they need to get things figured out.

Not with cook as the starting RB. He’s seriously overrated.

The body clock disadvantage was huge.  I've harped on it all week.  I could not understand it.  But the rest of the excuses I'm gonna take a pass.  Every Bills loss seems to come with excuses.  Honestly, they could've flown out Monday night after the Miami game, been there Tuesday morning, and adjusted better.  I guess now, since they are not fully adjusted to UK time, there's no excuse coming home to play the Giants.  They should be fresh.  The injuries suck but some guys will step up big who we have no idea yet.

The Giants suck. If they can’t beat them then the season is over.
