Bills Mafia news

Likely will keep this thread going for post game remarks and roster developments.

Post game news after week 2 loss at Denver:

The game began with a fumble by HB Johnson on the 3rd snap of the game. Denver quickly capitalized. Later in the 1st half QB Williams threw the first of his two INTs. Denver capitalized on this turnover as well. We rallied back to take a 21-20 lead late in the second half but couldn’t prevent Denver from getting into FG range to hold our lead. In the final minutes WR Ausbon returned a kickoff deep into Denver territory but it was called back by a illegal block penalty by TE Axelson. Our final hail mary fell short so Denver got the win.

This week we face the Jets for the second time in three weeks and then we face the defending champions in week 4. Despite the looming possibility of going 0-4 to start the season, we are considering benching players that contributed to the loss in Denver to send a message to the team. QB Williams for his poor performances in two games, RB Johnson for his fumble, and TE Axelson for his illegal block may all be benched. This roster move will be decided in the next couple of days

As announced over the weekend, the Bills have temporarily benched QB Williams, HB Johnson and TE Axelson. Per the coach, "Time to see what we have with Dorian Thompson-Robinson 'DTR' at QB. He definitely won't overthink his reads and has shown more accuracy in practice. We love Caleb. He is the future of this franchise, but he recently has shown in his last three starts that he still needs time to work on his game before he is the unquestionable starter at QB. We would love it if DTR can pull off the victory in our home opener. We've also elevated CB Valentine higher in the depth chart. Despite his lack of speed he seems to have an opportunist flare we'll need against a team like the Jets. We have no injuries, so the rest of the team is ready to go."

Putting my ratings threshold theory to the test against the best this week. Should be interesting.

"It's now DTR's job to lose." per coach Corbett. QB Dorian Thompson-Robinson surprised his doubters across the league this weekend to lead the Bills over the ever dangerous Jets in Buffalo's home opener. Despite being called "the worst QB in the league" and "a UCLA fan draft pick lucky to be on any roster" he managed to lead the offense to amass 401 total yards against the Jets including contributing 2 rushing TDs and 61 yards on the ground on his own. "He seemed slightly out of sync several times early in the game. Even overlooked a completely wide open player underneath at one point, but his confidence grew with each down and he deservedly was awarded Player of the Game. No changes going into next week against the defending champions. We are going to push forward and see how far he can take us."

81 78 81 96 70 87 87 83

Those are his ratings. Quite good in everything except IN. Apparently, the lack of those 4-5 points in IN did not hold him back in performance very much.

I'd say the offensive plan fit what he is good at and the Bills 3rd down defense was an important part. I would say the coach did a pretty good job this week putting him in the right position.

Looks like a QB change is happening in Buffalo again. "Unfortunately, we have seen a steady decline in DTR's performance since the victory over the Jets. Against Indianapolis's solid defense he was undeniably unremarkable. Part of the blame goes to our receivers not getting open and part of the credit goes to the Colts defense, but there comes a point when you need a big play that only the QB can provide to spark the offense. He didn't provide that spark. In fact, his deepest pass was 20 yards. He threw for less than 200 yards against the Colts and is currently the 16th ranked QB in the league with a dismal QBR of 80.2. At 1-4 we realize we need to make a change. Caleb Williams will be starting this week. If he performs like he did in week 1, we will reconsider DTR as the guy, but for now the job is Caleb's to lose."
