    A bunch of us saw this coming. We seem to forget EA sports is the one doing this to us. Allen didn’t have to be on the cover, but he did it, and now everything is ruined. 

     

    We just have to hunker down and get through. We will be OK. 

     

     

    When will we be okay?

    Time for Josh to call his own plays. Will also lock him in mentally more. He thrives when there is more urgency and this will create more. 

    Need to edit and retitle to A-GUN!!  

    You're welcome!!

    Why is this team so flat??

    Kincaid doesn't fumble it's entirely possible we win this game.  We weren't that far off.  Defense looked pretty good all things considerned.  Offense never learns to just take what the defense is giving them.

    We probably still loose on the last drive with Cincy kicking a game winning FG.

    Joe Marino says all-22 Review shows Josh deserves a lot of blame for Pats Loss

    He didn't like a lot of things (says Morse played much worse than usual, that Torrance was bad, Spencer Brown allowed two big pressures and Gabe Davis also, that James Cook was "a disaster in pass protection,") etc. He had plenty more criticism of others, as well. So he certainly did not blame it all on Josh by any means. But ...

     

    "As I watched this offensive tape, it became very clear to me that Josh Allen really struggled in this game. And I know that nobody ever wants to hear that Josh Allen played poorly, and I'm sure that lots of you are going to yell at me for saying that Josh played poorly, but he did.

     

    "Could things have been better around him? Absolutely. Could Ken Dorsey have been a little better in this game? Absolutely.

     

    "But I thought the top reason for how the offense performed against New England was the play of Josh Allen. 

     

    "Let me give you some themes from what I observed, and I think that as more people study the tape, you're going to see a lot of what I'm sharing here being echoed throughout those who watch film. I thought his processing and decision-making was really off in this game. He had some very frustrating turndowns, especially under pressure. And I thought his whole mental approach was very poor with protections and how he set protections, working away from where the protections were set, not necessarily feeling or sensing or seeing or reacting to pressure schemes correctly based on what New England was giving him.

     

    "I thought his tempo was poor. He didn't get through progressions with enough urgency, especially when New England either had pressure or had very obvious route combinations leveraged and his eyes needed to be in different places. He was late to process pressure, I mean they're sending extra guys and it's not affecting the way that he's attacking the play. I thought his trigger was incredibly slow. Once again his average time to throw over 3.15 seconds. That's going to put a lot of stress on your offensive line. And I have plenty of criticism for those guys, but I mean Mac Jones got the ball out in 2.2 seconds, literally a full second quicker. The amount of stress that puts on the offensive line compared to what Josh did is really different.

     

    "He absolutely had some accuracy lapses, right? The two misfires to Stefon Diggs, the deep shot, then the outbreaking pattern, missed them. Josh has to get back to taking profits and playing smart football. His average depth of target against New England was 10.6.

     

    "There were issues with Josh Allen not getting the team out of bad run looks. Another situation where they're trying to run the ball to a side of the formation where there's four Patriots players for two Bills offensive linemen to block; you can't run the play.

     

    "Not making correct decisions on run-pass options. I mean, honestly minus the quantity of turnovers, I felt a lot of things about Josh Allen that I did in that Jets game in Week One. Thought he was chasing some plays and just not doing the smart correct thing with any level of consistency that's needed to win a football game.

     

    "And I'm not talking about Josh Allen not being Josh Allen. that's not what I'm saying. But within the context of a football game, there are certain times where you just need to take the profit, you need to go to the smart place with the football. And Josh Allen didn't do that.

     

    "Now, I'm confident this analysis is going to be met with some resistance, some anger at me for daring to say that Josh Allen played poorly, and not pointing enough fingers at Ken Dorsey or enough fingers at being able to trust the offensive line, or weapons or whatever you want to point at.

     

    "I watched that game, I studied it in depth, the biggest problem on the offense was 17. ... Josh Allen is not perfect, he has bad games and this was absolutely one of them. Missed so many opportunities. And he did some good, there's no doubt. I enjoyed the three touchdown drives in the second half. I did a lot of what he did to get the team in scoring position in the first half.

     

    "But I'm left thinking a whole lot more about the plays he didn't make, about the plays that were left on the field, about the times he could have done the smart correct thing with the football and just mentally was not sharp in this game: decision-making issues, protection issues, just issues galore.

     

    "You need more out of Josh Allen. And I know that's hard to say based on what he's given you.

     

    "But when you look at this game, and that's what I'm talking about, this game, this loss to the Patriots, I thought the biggest problem with the offense was the quarterback."

     

    ...

     

    "He refused to throw hot on several occasions during obvious pressure looks. He didn't have the team sliding in the right direction, just too many miscues. He has to manage that better, both the pre-snap and the post-snap part of pressure, and Josh just played poorly."

     

     

    Joe had plenty to say about the defense too. As usual, he gets into a ton of detail.

     

     

    Gotta take the good with the bad.  Without Josh, we're nothing!

    Terry Pegula and Brandon Beane could do this and fix everything.

    If my name were Terry Pegula, this is what I would do this offseason:

     

    Fire Sean McDermott

    Keep Brandon Beane

    Hire Ben Johnson (you now have arguably the best young offensive mind in the league for Josh Allen's prime and you'll never have to worry about losing your offensive coordinator)

     

    Then, if my name were Brandon Beane, this is what I would do:

     

    Let go (via cut or trade) Von Miller, Tre'Davious White, and Jordan Poyer, taking all the bad cap medicine necessary (yes, I know it's a lot, but stick with me); possibly add Dawson Knox to this list if he's not excited about a backup role

     

    Re-sign A.J. Epenesa and DaQuan Jones; let every other major free agent go, including Gabe Davis and Micah Hyde

     

    Leverage your 10+ picks (probably even more after trades) to maneuver and get the best WR available, then heavily prioritize defensive line and offensive line picks

     

    Fill in the gaps at non-premium positions in free agency.

     

    Offense built around Allen, a dominant line, Cook, Diggs, Kincaid, and the future WR1 you drafted.

     

    Defense built around a dominant line, Milano and Bernard, and a young secondary.

     

    Bills are suddenly a young team but still scoring a lot of points and the future is looking exceptionally bright.

     

    With the old guard gone, you can grow with your young team. You'll probably even make the playoffs in year 1. Allen is going to be reinvigorated.

     

    Who knows, it might even go as well as it did for the Chiefs last year when they went with a youth movement.

     

    I'm willing to bet my plan is better than what they will get by keeping McDermott.

     

    Reminder: Sean McDermott traded Patrick Mahomes to the Chiefs before Brandon Beane got here.

     

    Other reminders:

     

    Every coach/QB combo in NFL history that has won a Super Bowl has done so within their first 5 years together. McDermott and Allen are in year 6 and things seem to be falling apart. It seems that things have grown stale and a change is needed.

     

    No player has ever won the Super Bowl with three different teams (Von Miller), unless you count Matt Millen who was inactive for his win with the Redskins.

    I think your plan is sound but they're not going to fire McD, he just signed an extension and we're stuck for many more years of him and the decline of the O.  Fire Dorsey, that could possibly happen.

    Great news!! You can bring your miniature horse to the game!
