Josh isn't playing particularly well right now. That's a big problem. But I think the offensive coordinator is a big part of the problem as well.

What's wrong with long field goals? You'd rather see an increase in punting?

I'd hire Daboll back in an instant if he was willing to come back.

I don't see why QBs were given all week to prepare balls for Sunday while kickers were only given an hour before the game. The standard should be the same for any ball regardless of it being kicked or thrown. So, if we are wanting kickers to have to use brand new balls, QBs should as well. I personally don't see any issue with kickers getting to prepare the balls how they want OR that they are making longer kicks because of it. Kickers back in the 90s and before could prepare the balls how they wanted as well. They introduced the 90 minute rule in 1999. If anything, they are just getting back to the way things used to be for the majority of NFL history.

As most of us here have been saying all season long.

People blamed McDermott for their strained relationship back in the day. I think it is pretty clear now that Daboll is the more difficult to get along with of the two.

Yeah, I'm fine with the play as long as refs are serious about calling Offside, lining up in the neutral zone, and false starts. Both offenses running the play and defenses defending the play are breaking the rules consistently. If the refs can't rein in the rule breaking, they'll have to ban the play altogether.

It is pretty centered around Kincaid already. Kincaid is 2nd in the league in yards and 3rd in TDs among TE's. Kincaid, Shakir, and Coleman all have about the same number of targets and receptions, so Kincaid is at least one of 3 of the receiving engines that make the offense go. What coaches have a great win percentage without a good QB?

Bills: 28 Falcons: 20

I got chastised here for saying that Allen played a poor game, but as the week goes on, more and more people seem to be agreeing. He wasn't awful. He still made plays. But he had four or five mistakes that were really costly.

Bernard has had good games and he makes splash plays.

Stop with the "soft zone" complaints. You're just showing that you aren't actually watching what the defense is doing. The offense turned the ball over three times. The best QB in the NFL directly contributed to throwing this game away. Yes, the defense wasn't good in the 2nd half, but Allen shares in the blame and is at least an equal party to it.

Shakir is in the slot. Slot players don't play as much. The fact is, we don't have a receiver worthy of being out there 80% of the time. Thanks for providing the evidence. Most people just say things that they figure are true without actually doing the homework to back it up.

No team in the league does this? Are you sure?

Flacco should be retired and enjoying his money. He must be the type that doesn't know what to do with himself outside of football.

Because he starts pressing more and tries to scramble more. He bails from clean pockets, etc. Well for one thing, the Bills didn't run it as much, and for another thing, they had Cook on the sideline far more. It seemed they wanted to give Cook a lesser workload.

Every time Allen plays poorly, people claim this. Every single time. And it is just such an empty claim. There was nothing to indicate Allen was concussed.

And two interceptions.

If they let the QBs prepare the balls how they want, I don't see why they wouldn't let the kickers do the same thing.

The Chiefs looked like this last year, but had a bunch of inexplicable wins. This year, those wins are turning into losses. They just don't have the firepower anymore. Kelce is old, and he was the one big difference maker on offense. Mahomes seems to feel like all the pressure is on him, and it is. We'll see what Rice looks like when he comes back. Maybe he is what they need. But their defense hasn't been that great either.

Why do you think that? I think it will be like most years where 10 wins gives you a good shot to get in, especially with a lot of the top teams losing games already.

Or they could have, you know, stopped them and won the game. If the plan was to let them score, that was a terrible plan.

Announcers called it out after the commercial break, though.

I disagree with you. I think many fans are quick to blame everyone else but Allen, even when he clearly plays poorly. I love Josh Allen and have always been a supporter and will continue to be a supporter. I am not a negative poster. I am often defending Allen, McDermott, and others. But I call like I see it, and that means assigning blame where I see it. If Allen doesn't turn it over twice, takes open receivers, and doesn't scramble out of clean pockets, the Bills win handily. He wasn't the only problem, not by far. There were tons of other culprits as well. But he was one of them.

Allen has also been turning down those opportunities.
