    I agree, however these things have been an issue all year long, pretty much.

     

     


    which is why I don’t think Bills have coaching advantage despite Garrett being on the hot seat. The key as always is Josh Allen, but I think it’s going to have to have 3 TD game with both 200 yards passing and running. If the Bills can have like 3 or 4 long scoring drives it will go a long way in limiting Zeke imo.

    Have You Started To Lose Faith in Josh Allen?

    He's 33rd in QB Rating among qualified QBs so this isn't a stretch. 

     

    Allen hasn't shown he learns anything after making mistakes.

     

    Yesterday:

     

    Interception #1 was a throw into double coverage down the field.

     

    Interception #2 was a very poorly thrown ball into double coverage down the field.

     

    Interception #3 was a throw into double coverage down the sideline that should have been thrown away.

     

    He makes the same mistakes over and over and over again. 

     

    Those picks were compounded by the fact those balls were ducks due to not setting his feet and throwing off his back foot. At least he was set, maybe one or two of those of those are either TDs or overthrows

    With a week to game plan the Bills can win a couple of games with Barkley but let's not get fooled by what Barkley did yesterday as some sort of indicator of Allen's ability to handle the offense.

     

    Barkley is a check down guy which is actually what you want in your back-up.  And when going against a prevent defense like NE played on that last drive, guys like Barkley are going to get completions and look "sharp".  But notice how that all came to an end when the Bills got to the Pat's 40 yard line.

     

    And on drives before that Barkley did not throw the ball well.  Twice he missed open receivers with throws into the turf.  And he was lucky not to have lost a fumble and thrown a 2nd INT - in just 3 possessions.

     

    I'm more interested in how Allen was able to lead the Bills on a TD drive at the start of the 3rd where he was 6 - 6 for 69 yards. That was a great drive and the first offensive TD the Pats had given up since last years AFC championship game.  That's the drive we need to look at when assessing Allen's ability to handle the offense.  Barkley's quick reads and getting the ball to receivers was the result of throwing against a prevent D on that last drive.

     

     

     

     

    To me, Barkley understood what the Pats were doing and was decisive in his reads. He’s a limited QB, we all know that. Allen was holding the ball too long trying to hit this long pass plays that weren’t there unless he made the perfect throw. Part of Allen’s struggles was the fact the O-Line wasn’t good, but that being that, getting the ball out and hitting the underneath stuff was what the Bills offense. There was a 3rd down play with Brown was wide open for the 1st on a slant I believe and Allen instead overthrew Beasley on a our route. Plays like that are why I’m very skeptical on Allen’s ability on making smart reads quickly. That could improve over time, but setting your feet before you throw not mistake he should be making at this point.

    I never thought he'd succeed.

     

    Have seen enough promising signs from him to think I might be wrong, but his decision making is a major problem at this point. He makes mistakes you're taught not to make in high school. His situational awareness as a QB is pretty awful. 

     

    Biggest reason why I didn’t like the pick of him and why I was never sold on him. I don’t think those traits can be easily fixed and corrected. You either have that awareness and smarts like Brady or you don’t. The fact that Barkley cold was making quick reads and getting the receivers the ball is a big concern about how Allen’s hold on the offense. Beane and McDermott are going have further improve the O-Line and get a true #1 WR either by trade or draft. I don’t think Allen can carry this offense into the playoffs unless he improves that aspect of his game.
