I think the majority of Allen fans thinks that is the case. Too much seemingly broken plays and improvisation by Josh (Cooks and Davis TDs that were rabbits pulled out of hats). The Knox TD, give the line credit they gave him time, but NE was wary of Allen running. The Diggs TD only Allen could make that 65 yard throw (and he did not step into it). So seldom do we see easy completions and receivers running open on let's say a wheel route or a simple swing with 10 yards of open field ahead. As said two things we don't see are the easy wide open receptions or the 50/50 or difficult ones. However once in a while we see a good play call, just no where near often enough.

Geez seem to be saying that every week. Oh another QB completing a 50/50 throw (could say the same thing about the first int. BTW would be nice to see a Bills receiver catch a 50/50 ball.....😉) So again Bills fans are excited about how they played vs. Mac Jones? Well NE should be even more excited they held Allen to 21 points (and lamenting two long completions) and outscored the Bills offence 23-21.

And two Ints that were the result of fortuitous bounces (easily could have been incompletions). They had a 60 & 85 yard drive in the second half. Jones threw 3 Ints too (Bills fumbled twice). You really are a glass half full guy (admittedely I'm half empty).

A few spelling mistakes, but exactly what I keep saying. My concern is the Bills offence too has been a little clunky at times and not running on all cylinders, which they need to be come the playoffs.

PVR the games, so I go back to where I left off. When the Defence has third & 8, I often turn the channel as I am just too nervous watching them.

Really???? Bathrooms are the only issue at Highmark??? Talk about low standards.

Trust me I get it. It was a tough week too. The issue is the defence to me has been meh. Miami was the last decent Offensive team we played and they carved up the Bills defence. Bend don't break is fine if the offence is humming, but not so sure they are either. Seems too many long drives are required to score points. Let's all agree we're still talking about the Bills next playoff game in 4 weeks (and not 2024)!!!!

Fine the defence is great and will be the reason they win the SB. Does that make you happy? Let's hope they can contain Thompson & the phins this week.

Can merge with other thread (just saw). "Unknown" high ranking official from Bills or Bengals trashes NFL and Troy Vincent for response

First I think the NFL eventually got it right (but they were ready to blow it). No way should the game ever have been replayed (and fortunately Cincy beat Baltimore, so I think that's okay), but this is a detailed report, and interesting read. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/35393227/how-bills-bengals-led-way-damar-hamlin-collapsed

Actually I do that a lot too, because the defense is hard to watch. The Bills were lucky when you look at the QB's they faced during the year. They played a lot of bad ones. Yes there are injuries, but schemes and play calling too has not been great on the defensive side.

Watched NFL Live and they were ripping the Bills defense. They said they can't win if they play like that. I guess I'm not the only one worried about the defense. Simply Josh Allen will need to do it all in the playoffs unless there's a huge change with the D and a lucky bounce here or there ( like on two INTs yesterday).

This was posted January 2nd. I watch TB and Brady's OL is fine (not perfect, but better than Buffalo's). He has receivers running wide open and he has no mobility to buy time like Allen must often. Allen's two TD passes were one on the run, where he created busted coverage and the second he threw 65 yards on a line (sorry no other QB except maybe Mahomes does that). The Bills offence was good yesterday, but not great. They scored 21 points (and yes Davis dropped a TD), along with a bad Int & Fumble. These are mistakes they can't do vs. Cincy or KC (especially with the Bills Defence)

Yes agreed he tries the hard one, but there are never the easy one where a receiver is running wide open. See Mahomes first & third highlight. As soon as the ball was snapped you knew 84 was going to be wide open. How much easier can it get?

I'm talking the wide open target where there's no one around or easy pass with running room. Where are those completions. Usually he's completing in tight windows Only open receivers are after 6 seconds and he eluding the defence. Look at the passes to Shakir, Brown and Diggs yesterday where there was no room for error and they weren't wide open.

And that's been the problem with the Bills offense. Just not looking very good. They are okay and certainly will score 20+ points, but that seems to be it of late.

What we really need is Moulds & Andre Reed!!!!😝🤣 It was nice to see Brown make a catch, but they are way down on the depth chart and needed only when we send 5 receivers.

Better be, but I haven't seen that of late.

Nice to see interceptions and what in two cases was the ball bouncing the Bills direction. The other was just a bad pass. NE receivers were pretty open (as opposed to Bills) and they hung 23 on the Bills (with three TO's).

Well this thread aged well.🤣 I don't get why he isn't incorporated more in the passing attack as he was catching 4/game with Indy. This team needs some contributions catching the ball out of the backfield.

And another game yesterday where almost every pass had to be on the money. Any easy pass & catches yesterday? The first half Jones had a ton of easy passes. Brown did make a decent catch on the TD, I'll give him that (usually expect the ground to jar it loose as he is a Bills receiver, but one a pro should make).

Wish someone could answer. BTW I will commend Brown on making a nice catch. Wasn't ridiculously hard, but one of the few the Bills have made this year.

Compare that to how Josh needs to work to make completions. How many easy completions that weren't check downs did Josh have?

I love Sunday's at 1:00. Until the last 2 years, every game seemed to be Sunday @ 1:00 (unless west coast, obligatory Thursday game or a fluke Monday nighter). 1:00 PM Starts 2015 12 2016 12 2017 13 2018 15 2019 13 2020 8 2021 12 (17 game seasons) 2022 10 (include Thanksgiving) https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2022.htm

Romo was gaga over the Diggs TD. Only another qb would truly understand what a pass that was.
