That will always be the talking point. Guess what? That’s Josh Allen’s game. Allen is a multidimensional weapon.
I imagine someday he will get hurt and miss some time. It happens to all QB’s but the narrative will be, “see, I told you he would get hurt!” Whatever.
If other QB’s had the ability Allen had they’d be doing the same things…..but they don’t.
Allen has ALWAYS been the man the Bills rely upon, no matter who we have lining up at wide receiver. Diggs, Davis, Beasley, Brown, Sanders….this offense goes as Josh goes and will continue to do so.
I have no issues with the offensive play calling. Sure, I didn’t like that 3rd down call late and would have liked to have seen a couple more play action on 1st down but they put up 34.
The defense was awful in the first half and pretty darn good in the second.
Bass was a positive until he kicked the f’n ball OB.
On to week 2.
Unless the Cardinals play the Bills next season, which I don’t think the cross over allows, the Cardinals franchise will have never won a game in the Bills current stadium. The Bills are 5-0 against the Cardinals at Highmark back to Rich stadium.
The Cardinals join the Packers (0-7) and Buccaneers (0-3) as teams that will never taste victory at the current stadium.
Besides the first half defensive performance, the only glaring thing that stood out to me was the play call on that 3rd down. Absolutely terrible. At least give Allen the optoon to throw. He can attempt to scramble for a first down if the coverage is good. That and o-line penalties.
Overall good effort.
