    5 Games In - Reality Check

    in The Stadium Wall

    We're still a better team than last year, even w/ the injuries.

     

    We have a nice stretch coming up where we can hopefully build a bit of a cushion to absorb some losses when the schedule gets tough.  I think 12-5 is pretty realistic for a final record.  11-6 wouldn't shock me, and 13-4 is probably the ceiling.

     

    I think it's very possible that the last game w/ the Phins will decide the division. And that's so far away, who knows what both teams will look like at that point.  But if we can stay relatively healthy from here on out (and by that, I mean just stay within the league average in terms of players missing time), I like our chances for the division.  Outside chance for a 1 seed, and a good chance to be one of the top 3 seeds.

    Week 2 Bills vs Raiders Home Opener!

    I really can't bring myself to care about this game.  I expect to win, but won't be shocked if we lose.  Even if we win, it still won't answer solve any of the concerns I have about Josh and Dorsey because the Raiders aren't a team that would create the challenges those two can't seem to overcome.

     

    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

    Got to flush the Jets game.  Onto the Raiders.  It's a long season.  Gotta hope that EVERYONE saying Allen sucked has sunk in and he'll stop playing like a dumb *****.  Only one person controls it and it's 17.

    Do the Bills need a " Quarterback Whisperer?"

    And this adds to the coaching decisions at OP. Everywhere he looks, Josh is being shredded. I don't think he's the kind to deal with bad press well. I am seriously concerned about Sunday because of this, the added pressure and everyone lining up to have a pop, what it's going to do to him.

     

    The coaches will be wanting to understandably lay into him about yesterday as well, but is that the right response considering the outside noise? What is the correct reaction? They have to get it right, otherwise the Bills could lose to the Raiders and the season, possibly even Josh himself, will be at risk of spiralling.

     

    Am I being melodramatic? I don't think so. A lot of us have been saying the coaching team is part of the problem, as they don't know how to manage him. If this is an accurate assessment, then they may not react adequately to the issue.

    Allen ***** up last night and he owned it in the post game presser.  So that box is checked.  The Bills won't listen to the press.  Allen has been here before.  IIRC he had a terrible game against Pats at home 8n 2019 ?  He was knocked out of the game with a concussion.  Anyway he came back the next game and there was noticeable improvement in his game.

    Wow the knives have really come out after Allen has a terrible game. For only the 2nd time in the last 3+ seasons (2020,2021,2022 & 2023) you can lay a loss directly on Allen.  The other being the Jacksonville game. There isn't a QB in the NFL over the last 5 years who hasn't had games like this and that includes Mahomes & Burrow.

     

    I guess you have to ignore that the hype about the Jet's defense was real.  They're either the best or 2nd best D in the NFL.

     

    Allen was very bad last night.  But so was Burrow & Watson and Mahomes was average.  Even the best will have nights like last night.  Get back to me with the venom if after 5 games Allen plays like that in 3 of them and the Bills are 1 - 4.  Right now this thread is a massive overreaction.

     

    I understand your point but folks are pointing back to the end of last season as well.  Not just last night.  Allen has not played particularly well in quite a few games now.

    Worst game of Allen’s career

    He doesn't recognize that sometimes you don't have to make the big play. FGs and clock management would have won this game. The Jets have a really good defense. You have to control the clock and take what they give you.

    All the above plus take care of the ball.  He failed to be patient and smart.

    Burrow just passed for 82 yards and led his team to 3 points with Chase, Higgins and Boyd as his 3 WR's and against a lesser secondary.  Allens playoff stats dwarf Burrows too. 

     

    So why is he not in the same category?  Because he had a bad game himself or just because Burrows defense carried him to a Super Bowl?

    Burrow did hurt his calf and missed most of the preseason.  Maybe people are giving him a pass.  Plus can you recall Burrow do some stupid things that Allen did tonight?  Me neither

    They’ll be fine going forward

    Clean games from Allen are hard to recall. Just a completed deep ball would be a welcomed surprise lately. He was good against Miami in the snow. Other than that, you’d have to go back to last October. 

    The Bills offense is struggling in general the past half season or so.  Nothing seems to come easy.  Looks like opposing teams have figured out Dorsey's scheme and keep Allen from scrambling as much.

    They’ll be fine going forward

    Gotta be honest… he looked pretty damn average the first two games of 2021 before having a monster game against Washington in Week 3 and turning ***** around.
     

    But yea… no ducking clue what it is with him.

     

    Allen's issues I believe are two fold.  He's over confident in his abilities which lead to bad decisions, and he feels pressure to make a play because the offense is stalling.  On the first interception, it looked like he easily could have run for a first down.

    They’ll be fine going forward

    They are legitimately not going to be fine with a QB getting worse every single week.  Especially when he's a highly paid QB.

     

    We are looking at a Broncos-type season if Allen doesn't wake the ***** up.

    I'm trying to remember the last game Allen looked good.  Not last night or the two playoff games.  Too lazy to look it up.

    Worst loss of week 1 - POLL

    The Bengals, in my opinion.


    They were steamrolled by a remarkably average (though solid) Browns team.

     

    We lost to the best defense in the NFL because our QB switched brains with Nathan Peterman.

    Burrow missed a lot of the preseason which does matter.  Their defense played pretty well.  Burrow is 1 - 5 against the Brown's.  Some teams just match up better.

    Same energy as the last few years?

    I'm trying to separate myself from expectations.  It's not easy.

     

    I lived through the Kelly years, and now we have Josh Allen.  Odds are that we're unlikely to get another incredible QB again in my lifetime -so, I really just want to enjoy every game that Allen plays, and the time that we have him.

     

    My energy is definitely different this year because of that.  I'm just low-key about the whole thing. I'm less invested in the outcome of winning it all, and more living in the moment & just trying to enjoy each week.

     

    I do enjoy watching 17 play!  Some of his throws are just jaw dropping.

    Jackson, the guy with the INT in the endzone that brought it out as well as getting called for the interference at the end of the first half, is a flat out dunce of a football player.

    True but Staley the head coach is a bigger dunce.  Right before the interference call, Herbert slid in bounds on 3rd down with a moving game clock with 14 seconds.  Instead of letting the game clock running down to 5 seconds before calling timeout, he called a TO with 14 seconds.  Chargers kicked a FG and left time for Miami to score before half thanks to Jackson the other dunce.

    The most impressive thing to me about Dalton Kincaid are his football instincts.

     

    He has great awareness of everything that's going on around him and he always seems to make great decisions, whether instinctively or thoughtfully... when to fight for more yardage, when to go down, when to accelerate out of the catch, when to stop on the catch, when to turn upfield, when to flatten his path, when to look for the ball, his ability to track the ball...

     

    His measurables are very good and he's an excellent athlete but the thing that separates him from comparable athletes are his football instincts.

    He does have good football instincts.  I also like his basketball experience.  Some of the better TEs were former basketball players.  Antonio Gates and Tony Gonzalez to name a couple.
