Allen toughed it out at the end, but he really didn't deserve a nomination this week. Knox, White and Gore all get the nod over him. I'd give it to Knox. The guy had 39 receptions TOTAL in college and 0 TD's. For him to do what he did today, I'd give him the game ball. Probably his best game in his career, college included.

Hats off to Knox for that momentum changing, bulldozing reception and run. And props to Allen for avoiding that pass rush and getting positive yards out of it. Key plays to help us escape with an ugly win.

Yeah, who said Tre White was overrated again? The dumb takes people have, all to avoid calling out Allen. It was not the coaches, it was not the defense. Thankfully we didn't get punished for our awful 2nd half, but a W is a W.

Bills NEED to lock onto Boyd.

I swear, if I see one more person criticize Gore... The guy is a beast. And more importantly, reliable.

It's a domino effect, started by an inept offense. You cannot expect a defense to play lights out all game when they can't have time to recover. Allowing only 17 points in a game is very good. Scoring only 14 is not.

Hopefully more than what he's shown.

Fair assessment. Too bad next week he's playing in NE, and Belichick is going to expose every mistake. Hopefully he can look past losses and not linger on them.

Yeah, that INT in great field position was awful. Thankfully the great offense did so much with it.

Exhaustion. Look how long the offense has been on the field this half, then look at three defense.

And being 100% unable to complete passes and relying on your defense all half is ruining us. They're exhausted.

And if they got stuffed, Bengals would be in position to take the lead, and everyone would call McDermott stupid.

If you guys seriously think every time Allen starts frantically running around is due to nobody being open, or the O-line's fault, you'll see when you watch breakdowns after the game it's not. His internal timer isn't fast enough. Last year he hung onto the ball longer than anyone else in the league, and he's doing it again this season.

And hey, look, Gore is running the ball well AGAIN! If the QB wasnt rattled, this would be a great time to pass now, but when you're over throwing open guys, it's on you. Wow, almost threw another pick too.

Among the numerous GREAT calls he's made all game, it's ok not hitting on ALL of them. And when the only thing we've shown any success in is running the ball, better to do that than trust Allen to do anything. But I'm sure people prefer blaming the OC or HC to the 1st round draft pick QB.

And people wonder why we don't get more "respect" from the media. You have to earn it and show you're different. We've eeked out 2 wins against bad teams, and are now tied in the 4th with another one, that isn't deserving of much confidence. Due to our favorable schedule, I still think 8-8 is the final record, but still hoping for a miracle.

When you only pass for 3 yards in the 2nd half, you're not going to be very successful.

Well yeah, they're on the field way too much in the 2ns half. They're tired. Reminiscent of the Tyrod years. Don't convert on 3rd down, do nothing after turnovers, and turning the ball over yourself is going to put the burden entirely on the defense to protect a small lead.

Gore has been playing great. It's the moment we stop running and begin passing that is the problem.

Again, if its not evident who is the problem right now, it's bias blinding you. I'm not even saying Josh is a bad QB or going to forever suck, but he's rattled right now for whatever reason.

Notice how we're running the ball so well? That opens up the passing game and play action. But when you throw awful passes, it's not the OC or HC, it's the QB not executing. Oh look, another almost INT. Totally on Dabol right?

He's trying. The Bills aren't executing. You need to complete passes to wide open WRs. That's why you work to establish the run like we did. But whiff on an open Brown for an easy TD and whiff on Jones for another possible TD. But yeah, it was McDermott's fault.

Yeah. That's the reason Allen threw a horrible INT in the 3rd quarter that allowed the Bengals to get back in the game.

But will there EVER be a complete game where he plays well all 4 quarters? It's just so exhausting... They're 0-2 playing on the road, and we have one TD. Open looks being over thrown, hanging on to the ball too long, etc. Our opponents are a combined 0-6. Not a good sign.

This is what I've been harping on about. Yes, we're winning games, but Allen can't ever put together an entire good game. There's always sloppy mistakes, turnovers, dead quarters where we can't complete a pass or get a 1st down, etc. And these things are issues carrying over from last season, and against weak opponents. Good teams will destroy us if we play like this.
