Changes Needed In Buffalo
As it stands today, the Buffalo Bills are currently out of the NFL Playoffs. We seen the issues right in our faces in week 1 of the NFL season. It was a Monday Night in New York. This was Aaron Rodgers very first game in a Jets uniform during the regular season and the Jets gave Buffalo all they could handle as the Jets took them down that night. The Bills have been trying to right their wrongs all season long but now something just doesn’t feel right. The Bills are currently third in the AFC East. Yes, the Jets are ahead of them. Someone has to answer to this. The Bills are supposed to be a Super Bowl Contender. At this point, they feel more of a pretender. Josh Allen has been up and down this season. Some of it is his fault but you have to look at coaching too. He is called upon to do way too much within that offense. They signed running back Leonard Fournette but he won’t help because they refuse to run the ball. James Cook was playing fine early on but the Bills have once again shied away from their running attack. The Buffalo Bills are in trouble and changes are needed there immediately.
Josh Dobbs Has Earned A Starting Gig
Have you ever seen a good underdog story? If you haven’t in the past, you’re seeing one now. Josh Dobbs started his career in Pittsburgh. Ever since Ben Roethlisberger called it quits, the Steelers have been trying to find their guy. Dobbs then moved on to Tennessee. They certainly have had their fair share of problems with the QB1 position as well. They aren’t sure who their guy is. They thought it was Ryan Tannehill but he has been regressing so they drafted Malik Willis and he seems like a bust. Now they have Will Levis and they’re hoping he can have continued success. Ultimately, Josh Dobbs then moved on to Arizona with the Cardinals. He has been solid for them all season long in the absence of Kyler Murray. Dobbs has been playing well for them. However, the love wasn’t shown in return as they didn’t even have his jersey in the team store. With Murray set to return, Dobbs has been traded yet again to the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings are a team who are just going throught the emotions. QB Kirk Cousins is out for the season. Running Back Cam Akers is now out for the season and they are still without Justin Jefferson due to injury. Dobbs didn’t even start this past weekend. He came in due to injury from QB Jaren Hall and showed out in style as Dobbs led the Vikings to victory. Dobbs hasn’t participated in a single snap or even practice with the Vikings nor does he know all of his new teammates or even familiar with the playbook and still led the Vikings to a win. Somewhere in the NFL next season, Dobbs deserves to have a shot at being a full time starter.
