I’m going to say it .. Josh Allen needs something more, or for someone to give him something more, in terms of a steadying presence on the field. It doesn’t seem Dorsey, Keenum, Brady can do that.. yet. He refuses to take what is given. He is a “momentum player” right now. You can see it in his eyes .. whenever he makes a big play, or consecutive big plays, he .. and the playcalling allowing him to do this .. goes dagger mode. Killshot engage, and he ignores everything else that’s happening in front of that. Teams will literally leave guys alone in the flat or on shallow routes. They know where his heads at right now. Especially when he gets that look. Do y’all want to know how I know he needs someone to calm him tf down?… HE PUNCHED THE BALL WITH HIS BAD ARM ON A TURNOVER I could not even believe I witnessed that on the replay. What’s going on with him right now is mental .. and Daboll isn’t here to help him. Somebody else needs to.

Cook looks dynamic every time he touches the ball now. Even the run where he had a 3-4 yard gain, he literally dove 3 more yards for a 7 yard gain.

Everything with staff seems like it moves an molasses pace. Which is ok when they’re winning… But now people are justifiably asking what is going on with Tre, why does RD2 pick Cook touch the ball so little, why did we trade for Hines… Its like they want a half a season ramp up for everyone.

Miller basically ended the game. Then our PS Safety, who’s out there because our other backup is terrible, gave up 1% probability catch to Jefferson. Anyone criticizing Von, yea… no.

KNIVES OUT Dont think I’ve seen reporters and podcasters this vocally frustrated with the coaching staff on Twitter as I’m seeing tonight. Good.

If we simply execute after the defense won the game … that’s a vintage Allen game. He played really well. Only pick was on a 4th down throw he had to let go or turn over on downs anyway. However, the fumble and game ending pick invokes shades of Tennessee/Simmons last year and the issue that was glaring obvious against GB and NYJ. Those two plays, justifiably so, tanked his game performance.

Sad to say that this absurdly brutal loss doesn’t sting as much. When we lost to the Dolphins and Jets, they hurt because I felt we had this Super Bowl favorite, and the 1 seed was so important. Now.. we’re just in the mix with everyone else, likely chasing KC… again. This year has played out the same way last year did. Start out hot, beat KC, visions of the 1 seed and then flounder to the point playoffs are in question and have to hope the switch flips at some point.

I will say … where is a shallow route? Why is every route to the end zone there? Singletary leaks out late.. but unless the concept was for Allen to take the middle of the field and run if nothings there, I don’t get it. This offense is obsessively aggressive and it doesn’t help Allen when he needs someone to help him see the field and not just the end zone. Counterpoint, someone could be crossing wide open right now 5 yards away and 50/50 he still throws that.

Josh Allen and Ken Dorsey are, far too often, the “MORE” meme. They get a couple big plays and then think kill shot. Routes are designed further up field and Allen locks in deep. Teams literally have times where the don’t even defend the flat/shallow routes. They know he won’t throw it when he’s in that mindset.

We’re 6-3, 0-2, 3rd place in Division. -Defense literally cannot stay healthy. -Josh Allen refuses to stay calm and not force throws. -1-2 insanely improbable losses per year… it’s not normal. -Mid-Season swoons every year. Do I think we get right and make a run? Yes, I’d bet on that .. but this team/coaching staff deserves a lot of criticism right now. Most of it is justified at the moment.

He was fine up until the last pick. He looked like normal JA up until that if we’re being honest. The first pick was on a 4th and Goal .. you have to throw it there.

No team has had this many absurd losses in recent memory. Hail Murray, 13 seconds and now this epic disaster. This isn’t normal.

He seems very much like a momentum player at the moment. When he gets a couple big plays … in OT it was his runs .. he immediately thinks kill shot. Once his head goes there, it’s like it’s all he sees on the field.

You could see pre-snap that nothing good was going to come from that play. Shotgun and try to pass your way out of it was the move.

At 7-2 .. Staff probably skates on this question. At 6-3, they’re going to start getting hardball questions. What’s going on with the training and all these injuries and where is Tre White will start being asked more. I’d venture to guess this staff is beginning to lose their get out of jail free cards after this loss, and the trajectory of the season.

No… Allen is the #1 issue on this team. Injuries, you’d think, will even out at some point. If Allen doesn’t stop throwing picks and refusing to take easy stuff .. especially in big moments, this team goes nowhere.

Hard not to look at coaching when this team is swooning in the exact same way as last year. It’s wild how similar their issues are. Issue 1 is Allen. He’s way too reckless with the ball and our defense isn’t good enough at the moment to cover that up. This season goes nowhere if he continues playing like this.

Yea.. he also gave up the Cook run that got them back in the game. I’ll agree with that. Bills PR wing doesn’t work too well when the team isn’t winning.

So we can’t stop the Jets because Milano. Can’t stop Vikings because Edmunds. Fantastic.

In their defense… we have good backups when one or two guys are out. We finished the game missing Edmunds, Rousseau, Poyer and Elam. Tre in witness protection. Backup already in for Hyde since he’s done. Just insane.

Allen and lack of short yardage run game are our biggest Offense issues right now. Allen just refuses to take throws given to him. That last throw was so unbelievably idiotic. Defense is destroyed by injuries. Comical what is going on with that side of the ball.

Defense is overrated, especially with the injuries right now .. but this is on the offense. Short yardage woes, turnovers and red zone inefficiency. Different game. Same issues. Chance to correct all that here.

OL has really gotten their act together in run blocking, generally speaking, but unless we use Allen.. short yardage is a weak spot on this team. At least come Playoffs, they won’t hold back on just using Allen.

Well, I’ll be…. Gabe Davis looking like a LEGIT WR2 today

Ball looked like it was “maybe” moving before elbow hit the ground. If called down. It stands. Called fumble. Stands. Don’t get mad at the officials. That’s on Singletary 100%. Even in a game he looks great in, he pulls that momentum killer.
