Seems fair. We should've have won the game, but we gutted out a win & showed some serious resolve. Granted the Jets aren't the most formidable opponent, but a win is a win. And our defense showed some SERIOUS badassery, and if they stay healthy, will be a scary unit for any team to face. And despite the offensive playcalling seeming pretty bizarre with wanting to only pass the ball for half the game, the plays they ran were actually pretty good. You can see WR's getting open, getting separation, and really challenging the Jets secondary. Allen hung on to the ball too long most of the game, missed some open looks, and obviously turned the ball over way too much, but the plays themselves weren't stupid. That being said, we DEFINITELY need to run the ball more. The more we can put on Singletary & the less focus on Allen, the more successful we'll be.

Expecting these guys to dig deeper beyond their pure emotional reactions is asking too much. PFF isn't stupid, and they're also not gods. They're very informative, and do very in depth analysis of the overall performance, beyond the stat lines, and grade full performances. Run blocking is a key aspect of being a WR, as is getting open & running good routes. They don't grade every single thing ever, but they give good insight into more than just simple numbers.

Darnold was the better QB in that game. If Allen played like Darnold did, we would've been in cruise control by the end of the game. Simply not turning the ball over would've done wonders. Our defense + the Jets not converting on turnovers + Mosley getting injured was what won us the game. Allen finally playing like a decent starter at the end of the game, doesn't mean he had anywhere close to a good performance. Edit: Forgot the part where the Jets' kicker completely screwed them over... If he could hit a FG, we still lose.

Nope. Love Singletary though. Allen, our QB, being a better rusher than passer, is not a sign of franchise QB. Darnold hitting a passing TD and a brilliant 2 point conversion on the other hand, they unfortunately might have something special In him.

Still would probably finish the season with more TD's than any of our WRs

Or Robert Woods. Hell, why do we even need an offense?

Shockingly, Dabol has called some good plays, though it's understandable if people aren't noticing it. He's getting guys open, but Allen holds onto the ball too long, and doesn't have the awareness to see how a play will unfold. Therefore he doesn't see the man who is about to be open, or has a step on the defender, he sees nothing at that exact moment and throws to whoever... often the guy who will be well covered by the time the ball actually were to get to him.

I think that's already set in stone.

If I hear ANY excuses about how some of these turnovers weren't Allen's fault... I'll point you to the several more that he should've had, but got extremely lucky the DBs dropped. "The bounces just didn't go our way".... yeah, some did, or else Allen would have 4 INT's minimum by now.

Darnold looks like he's improved. That's nice. Meanwhile...another pass behind a WR and another almost INT

I didn't. It wasn't that unimaginable to see this happening at all. McDermott understands one side of the ball really well, but that's about it.

I sure miss having play makers on offense. Sammy Watkins may not have been perfect, but he's lighting it up in Jacksonville right now. Losing Shady might hurt more than we thought. Jets snagging Bell was a great move. Talent matters.

Yeeeahh... many people on this board aren't just fans, they live in fairy tale land. Wasnt it just a week or 2 ago we had a thread asking if Allen and Barkley were the best Bills QB duo since Kelly and Reich lol. And a poll last season had something like 90% of people saying they'd still take Allen over Mahomes even after what they've seen. But hey, now I know to look out for your username if I want to talk honest football.

We need a turnover here. Even if we stop them here, they just put us back in crap field position against our own endzone again.

Like your spirit, but one day Bills fans will have to accept the Bills don't work the way you want them to lol.

Well, at least Miami is getting stomped. Sadly, Jackson is 10 of 11 passing, and has 4 TD's... I really hope he doesn't turn out to be another great QB we missed.

4 turnovers. They're still winning. Our QB is bad. Their kicker is bad.

Wish I just unfounded coincidence. If we pull it out, it's ALL on the defense. I don't care if Allen scores the winning TD, the defense turned lemons into lemonade.

Oliver whiffing on the that potential sack hurt.

Don't worry, we only passed on Mahomes for the chance at drafting Allen. Not like that won't sting for the next decade. But I'm sure in week 3 when Josh has his first good game, everyone can go back to pretending he'll magically become amazing somehow.

Whatever helps you sleep at night... He has not been good.

Called it. But don't worry, Josh "2019 MVP Candidate" Allen will ***** us a victory from the jaws if defeat.

The way Allen is playing, I wouldn't be surprised to see another turnover heading into half time.

If this was Nathan Peterman, McDermott would've pulled him already. And that's partially why Peterman was unsuccessful, constantly jerked around by a coach who can't evaluate offensive talent. So at least he's letting Allen stick it out. Don't have much faith in Allen being much more than what he's always been, but yanking him in and out of games wouldn't help.

How? A team that turns the ball over 3 (should've been 4) times in the 1st half, kills drives with penalties, and has stupid offensive coaching doesn't exactly scream "better team."
