Its the same thing week after week. Allen is a rookie he is going to make mistakes but when he makes a good throw and gives his guys chances to make plays they need to get it done. Game goes off the track early. First Allen hits McKenzie deep over the middle on a third and long and he drops it. Next Allen hits Foster over the top on a bomb and Foster never locates the fb although on game film sure looks like his eyes/head follow the ball up to down. Next ,fade in the end zone Foster stumbles and does't work back to it or at least make contact with Gilmore who is beat and is not even looking for the football. Croom inside the ten fighting for a foot loses the football. Logan Thomas lets a perfectly placed football go right through his hands for a what would be a td. McKenzie gets hit early in end zone no PI. Zay Jones m.i.a. till late 4th quarter. Allen is trying to win a football game with zero run game and two practice squad wrs. The two picks are 100% on Josh Bad throws late and should have never been thrown One was really bad being on first down. One terrible throw way over the receiver I dont remember any other glaring bad throws. Kid needs help. Shady is washed up, Clay checked out last year.

if his receivers just came through on some of the dimes he dropped we could have won The kid gives guys a shot to make big plays, Bills need to go out and get the guys to make those plays

McDermott again left a lot to be desired. Not sure what Daboll is doing either Honestly I'd have let Allen throw on basically every down Pats went big upfront and put tons of bodies right around the line of scrimmage Waste of time running into that Some of the routes on third downs were just plain stupid You need less than 5 how about a rub route , a natural pick or stack your wrs? No we throw an a crossfield out to a wr who gets zero seperation Why even had those routes, they are low % Just because Allen has a canon doesn't mean you need to design the lowest % passes humanely possible

He's done as a difference maker Belicheck won with Cassel so even a gimpy Brady afraid to step into throws and with a Peterman arm will still get it done long as they have a run game and some defense. He just wont win them games when the game script doesnt go their way No running game equals pats loss

Coaching seems to get them +10 pts I don't remember a game where the Bills coaching was better than Belicheck Maybe the Fitz shootout game when Hoodie was in disbelief down at the end of the game. Today was no different Frazier didnt adjust till the Pats were up 14 basically just running the football and they never had the ends stay home to take away the Jets sweep Pats must have run that play 6 or 7 times for close to a 100 yards How many times does Trent need to watch the guy run by him before he stays home on the edge?

If Joe Montana and Dan Marino made a love child that child would still struggle passing to the discard pile Allen is working with. Lets see what the offense looks like in 2019 with some real skill guys and linemen who can open a hole for a rb

Maybe they can make Foster/Zay work as slot and outside wr #2 we don't have a true #1 Foster can get open by running away from guys but that works best on crossing routes and deeper routes Zay needs time to get open Honestly we need a Steve Johnson who seemed to get open right away with all those basketball court set up moves right off the line of scrimmage Wouldn't hurt to have the receivers actually make some contested/adjustment catches.

I still saw progress even today He kept his eyes down field on the td to Zay. He didn't flee a good pocket repeatedly. I don't know we'll see a whole lot more till other issues get fixed in the off season. He gave his guys plenty of opportunities to make some big plays but they just didn't get it done on the other end

On offense we need C, G and one tackle TE who can block and offer something in the short passing game, WR who can win vs man and make contested catches. Arguably rb but hard to say with the line this bad at run blocking. Defense needs a dominant D tackle and a starting cb and lber depth or a mlb so Edmunds can go play outside Also a punter/holder and a ST coach That is a tall order

from memory the asking price was a 2nd and 3rd Anything would have been good just to get rid of the salary Without a stud OL he's useless

at 10 Mill a year he better be a strength Several games this year the Bills got run on at will and we havent been able to stop teams running in short yardage either Star is best mediocre against the run and offers nothing in the passing game

the check downs will come once O line improves We have had enough check down masters and still could not move the football

Can we sing Rosie at DT Bet she will make more tackles than Star and come a lot cheaper

probably a better fit at OLB Go sign another tackler to man the middle with Milano and move him over He is such a athlete/freak they will figure out how to get the most out of him

You forgot the end zone throw to Mckenzie that he got hit on early that should have been a PI and the throw to Foster with Gilmore back turned that Foster didnt make an adjustment on. Allen put the ball where only his wr could get it 5 times where on each play it would have been a td and we got a fg out of all of that

Little bit of both but Star isn't even drawing double teams Space eaters supposed to at least hold up two blockers That was a really stupid signing. Its Charles Clay all over again We'll be arguing about mediocrity from a 10 million dollar player for the next several years

Next year Foster and Jones better be options #3, #4 and Mckenzie better be on the PS Also enough with the Logan Thomas experiment. Croom is ok as a #2 TE, he might turn into something. Start calling all teams with expensive WR's who might be ready to deal . AJ Green, Julio Jones, both those teams have cheaper young replacements and might be better off with that cap space Worth some phone time.

He is done. His outs now take a long long time Sooner or later teams will grow some balls and play Tom with all 11 guys within 10 yards of the los. I don't believe #1 he can make the throws down field and #2 stand in and take any contact anymore. He barely got hit on the early sack and got up like a 90 year old man doing hard labor. I hope he stays for several more years so I can watch them scheme like denver did with Manning

go watch Jets highlights from today His rookie TE makes a ODB catch Players around Sam are getting it done Not every week but still. Bills havent made one spectacular catch all year yet routinely drops tds game in game out

I don't know I watched just him on many snaps and he didnt even look like he was trying to hold the point of attack and occupy blockers More often than not he turned away from the blocker or spun away from the play. Didn't look like a guy hungry , more like a guy wanting to stay healthy to cash those checks

Agreed, 2019 Bills should be a 10 win team. Beane has enough $$ and draft capital to fix a lot of woes talent wise. They get it wrong Pegula's should clean house. Brandon Beane will be a busy boy this off season I expect some picks traded for players teams cannot afford to keep plus day 1 of free agency better be a big day with some difference makers signed. Note to Beane please unplug the line to the Panthers Not impressed with Star/Benjamin in the least.

Merry Christmas. 2019 will be exciting one way or another

Whether you like Allen or think he's terrible we can all surely agree he had little to no help from the players around him. Beane and McDermott's jobs are on the line. I'll give them the pass through 2019 but I expect 10 wins next year. I expect Beane to have cauliflower ear from being on the phone exploring every option to address much of the starting offense. I'll say Allen, Foster, Dawkins, maybe Teller and Shady are starting quality players. Go address a lot of that in free agency then go bpa in the draft. I'd start calling teams that might be in rebuild/retool mode and send later round picks for players. Maybe they can trade for a AJ Green and assume the salary but you have to get at least one outside guy who wins his matchup. You cant run a offense where you ask the qb to fit every throw into little windows because his guys can break from coverage Or to hold the football for a long time to let plays develop on every down. They fix the issues and Allen still struggles then go to FA for a qb.

sure he will fix the O line , lack of any run game and the receiving core that cant get open or make contested catches

should have been a td Thomas had a shot and there should have been at least a PI on the other throw You cant throw short when your guys can win right away and need a longer developing route to even get marginally open
