I don't see how we're picking just one thing here. Yes, coaching has been subpar both at the head coach level and coordinators. Yes, we have injuries and guys playing that shouldn't be playing. Yes, FO whiffed on some picks and generally speaking haven't done a good enough job bringing in high end talent. That said...Josh has been mediocre at best in a bunch of these games. Some of that is on coaches, some on receivers, some on line, etc., but some of it is definitely on him. There's too much at this point that Josh hasn't had a typically good season by his standards or otherwise. Also, we've seen normally good players like Dawkins and Brown play under their capabilities for various reasons. We've seen savvy vets like Taron and Milano get old right in front of our eyes. We've gone from a turnover lucky team to turnover prone and losing the turnover battle. There's so much going wrong with this team that pointing fingers in any one direction is missing the point.

He hasn't played for the Panthers yet, so he's not allowed back until he pays his time first.

He’s going to be ready for this Steelers game.

I’m expecting he gets an offer that Milano got this year …reduction and some guaranteed money for 1 more year or …

I still think we got hot in December & have as good a shot as anyone once the playoffs start. We've seen in some of the games how good this team CAN be. They can be as good as anyone.

After his burned relationship with former db coach Butler, and his comments about the bills he's not coming back lol I think Butler is now the secondary coach at Kansas State

To me, it's less about how they're actually playing, than it is about preparation. On offense, plays are constantly getting in late, even more so than it's been an issue in the past. e.g. Thr night they got the ball back down by 4 and ran their first play with nearly 3 minutes left and only managed to get one more snap off before the 2:00 warning. If they were across midfield, then that's by design, but they were around their own 20. It's now Thanksgiving and Carolina is the only team they've outschemed since September. Procedure penalties are a bigger problem than I ever remember them being. On defense, we are seeing more examples of presnap confusion than we have in the last couple years combined. Even STs are a mess outside of Davis' recent flurry, with more penalty problems and coverage/return issues. This is the first time in the Allen era where I've regularly thought to myself that this is genuinely a poorly coached team.

Absence makes the heart grow fonder. I can't believe how many people forget how frustrating he was here. Would frequently abandon the run. Wayyyyyy to many "cute" play calls. This would be like someone going back to their ex because they are going through a dry spell....only to remember EXACTLY why she's your ex to begin with

I think AJ Brown goes to the Patriots to play with Vrabel and Diggs. It's good to see him without any bandages after Thursday night. He can shake hands and lift objects over his head which is a positive as well.

Brady’s WR screens are the most frustrating plays i’ve ever seen the Bills run ever.

I'm above the fray!!!! - teef

He actually flips out on the sidelines when the ball is snapped, and opposing defenses hold up to watch him...leaving his offense to run wild.

You were outraged here with a thing that happened of course as opposed to a hypothetical.

Did anyone happen to notice the mess Daboll just left in New Jersey? The guy’s a certified lunatic. No thanks. I’d rather let Ronald Curry call the plays if they move on from Brady.

I think this is a pipe dream … he is getting paid to do nothing the rest of this year and him and McDermott hate each other .. He is probably going to have options …and coming here to try to save this season with not much WR help might not be at the top of his list

Elway , Favre and Staubach all played until their late 30s and still were great. They all took way more punishment. It's not close. Elway at age 38 had one of his best years Favre at age 40 had probably his best year, and that was after multiple shoulder surgeries on his throwing arm Not saying Allens athletic ability won't diminish, but he'll still be great around age 37,38 possibly til 39 or 40. His QB cycle won't be different from any of the guys I listed

I don't think separation data is generally very good yet but Shakir has pretty much always been below average or downright bad in terms of YPRR vs. man. He's always been great against zone.

If he doesn’t have the quick sideways pass in his playbook, I’m not interested.

Anderson was the third overall pick in the draft That's the difference between drafting a blue chip player and getting a good player who can't rush the passer

He needs to step up big time. Every game should be how he played vs kc

This is what happens when Allen has to manufacture time because His WR's cannot get open which is why many of us couldn't believe they didn't address the WR situation in the offseason other than Joshua Palmer who is clearly not the answer and never was.

Elam and Keon should practice against each other. Would it help their confidence, lessen it, or would it be a wash?

That was a big risk. I also think they severely overestimated what Joshua Palmer would bring to the offense. To their credit they look to be right on Kincaid improving when healthy because he's looked awesome when remotely healthy. The caveat there of course being he hasn't stayed healthy. The only pass play where I felt like we got em was the 4th and 27 hook and ladder. That was really some stuff our defense would give up on that spot. Also, it's hard to call designed runs for Allen when Houston did what they did. They kept amazing gap integrity. They didn't rush Allen as much as walk the pocket back into his lap. And they knew they had time because our guys couldn't get open. I know people are going to knee jerk react to what I'm about to say here. You're spot on. He's not the same with his mobility as he used to be. I know people want to point at Brady and McDermott, but Allen himself is most to blame here. It's his body and he knows how he feels. When he does run, he never has had what I would call a light running style. Even going back to Wyoming....hits have started adding up. It likely takes him a lot longer to heal than it used to. I think physically, we are closer to the end of his mobility than most of us realize. Several times this year Allen has set personal records for most time from snap to throw. Houston is an extreme case...by he's having to hold the ball longer because...wait for it....no one can get open. And Brady makes the issue worse by calling long developing mesh concepts. Now, mesh is great because it is what we wanted...see the scheme get people open. But they didn't have the time for that Thursday.
