Talk about all over the place. Btw never said we place too much on Allen, frankly he's the reason the Bills can win the SB and when the reins or muzzle is put on him I'm not happy. Not a fan of telegraphed run plays.

Yep LV played right into McD's hands. Obviously McD set them up with those three calls.

Now I see that those runs were designed to make LV think twice in the 4th quarter. e get it the Bills steamrolled them. The Bills were down 7-0 and came out with 3 uninspired plays to start the game and it was all a ruse.😉 Again I was playing checkers and McD was playing Chess

Fake News = Trump & his Supporters????🤣

When anyone watching on TV with the Bills down 7-0 could see (and no I'm not a coach) that it was going to be a run the first two plays and no disguising it, that to me were two wasted downs and a 3 & out.

When vs. LV they started the game with two straight runs up the middle for 1-2 yards, then you put Allen behind the 8-ball and again take a look at the first half vs. Washington and how many bad positions Allen was put in thanks to runs and bad plays on first & second down. This has been mentioned many times in this thread, but conveniently ignored by some. Vs. LV too it was close to being 10 or 14-0 until a TO by Jimmy G the second possession. McD can say what he wants, but the play calling states otherwise in many ways.

What I see and a gut feeling and what I've read and heard from McD and how he views offense. Oh and 100's of Threads here saying similar.

I said nothing about peaking too early. I want them to be great all year.... Frankly Allen and the offense haven't wowed me the first three weeks. As said seems they are trying to rein in Allen, but again very early.

Yes I get it a fan of McD..... Maybe the most polarizing Bill on TSW. I have openly admitted my concerns with him and while a very good coach, I have issues with some in game decisions (#never forget 13 seconds) and what I see is that he is not a coach who fully embraces the offense. Just look at this thread and as soon as I mention McD the negative reactions/emojis fly. As said in the OP I hope it is an over-reaction and Sunday definitely will be the test.

And that is my concern (bold red) and hope it is just short-term and based on two "laughers". However if this is McD again holding him back, which yes I think he does (and yes my opinion) this will be an issue and usually is when playing quality opponents.

And again, why do some people get so upset when one states what seems pretty obvious just watching the game? As I said in the OP 75 points is great, and yes only 3 games in but there are issues to be addressed as the offense just seems off. Sunday will be a much better litmus test.

Perfectly fine when the game is never in doubt (i.e. the last two weeks). Let's see what happens when the opposition is capable of 30+ points (i.e. Miami).

Again the Bills played inferior opposition. As said you probably feel that Reid should put a muzzle on Mahomes? Every time the Bills have a great game, especially on defense and the Offense really didn't need to score 35+, we hear the same about the genius McD controlling Josh and his "mistakes". Let's see what happens in tighter games.

Miami pretty much against Denver, Bills vs. NE ?

Not the first time. Has he ever drawn a PI penalty?

I just haven't seen Dorsey putting him in good positions to succeed. Look at all the second and longs vs. Washington. Nothing seems simple. When was the last simple screen that gained chunks yards, a quick slant or well designed red zone td pass?

So I used a little hyperbole in some posts. I'm just making a point. The question is why is Josh not making better decisions and what happened to the Josh that was in 2020 & 2021. Somewhere around the middle of 2022 things changed and my worry is that the game plans and schemes have resulted in frustration and Allen thinking he needs to do more. Look at Diggs and how he reacted during and has after the Cincy game. Sorry tells me something is off. Didn't watch the Jets game (and happy for that). Miami will be the test and I look forward to a week of armchair coaches going on about Allen managing the game, TOP and keeping Miami off the field. Sorry I think Allen needs to throw for 350 (maybe 400+) and the Bills convert in the red zone.

What I'm tired of reading is the # who have turned on Allen and ready to turn him into an athletic game manager and Dorsey and McD need to reign him in. Look at this thread and how many seem so happy with "Game Management" Josh (especially vs. the Raiders). I'm sure that's what Chiefs fans want from Mahomes too.....🤪

Better in September than in January/February. Still however looks like some of the issues we saw from the Jets game on in 2022,

Read the title. I said over-reacting.. I also after a win made observations as to what I saw. Better to address areas for concern after a win, then come here and do it after a loss. Do a search leading up to the playoffs last year and these are pretty much the same concerns and the playoff opponents were not the LV Raiders and Washington Commanders. Trust me, I hope I am over-reacting.

It was only 16-0 through 3. If Howell didn't make mistake after mistake and yes score on the 4th & goal, it was a game. While the game was never in doubt, it certainly was closer then it should have been through 3. And what was he then doing in 2020 and 2021???? Geez he was awful vs. The Jets I've been told, but what happened to 2020 Josh that some here thinks he needs to be neutered by McD?

Miss you too...... And I miss 300 yard passing games. No way Allen shouldn't be throwing for 300+. 215 only yesterday. But of course take it personally like you work for the Bills offense. I made an observation and as expected the usual excuses fly. It was a very good win yesterday, but no way does this work vs. Miami.

I'd rather be posting this after a 37-3 win then a 27-13 loss (see Cincy 2023).

Been there, done that for too long. We have Josh Allen now, which means automatically the Bills are a top 5 offense.

BTW to get off the Offense for a while. The Buffalo D has faced a "Murderers Row" of Zach Wilson, JimmyG & Sam Howell through 3 weeks.....
