Hate to say it but it might be time to move on from Allen. This team is really good and Barkley can at least get us to the playoffs. Josh has had two off seasons, two training camps, two preseasons, and 16 games. He’s been erratic at best but today was the first time I started to question his mental toughness. This game reminded me of the Peterman five picks game in that Josh got so far into his own head that he couldn’t execute the most basic tasks required by an NFL QB. You have to be able to move on to the next play. So much of what happened today he did to himself, and that’s the worst part of it.

At least we know we're good. Maybe we can sign a replacement level QB off the street tomorrow and improve the offense. Everyone else seems to be doing their jobs.

This is getting ridiculous. I'm beginning to think throwing it up for grabs into double coverage is just too innate a part of Josh's game. Expecting that we're going to be able to coach it out of him is probably unrealistic at this point. Edit: I'm behind in the game and reacting to the 3rd q INT

That FG miss is on Allen. You can't take that sack. In a lot of ways, this half was worse than the five picks Peterman game.

What a catch by Knox!!

I get that pass to Brown probably wasn't catchable but shouldn't it have at least been defensive holding?? Edit: if Josh is even remotely on target there we probably score a TD. Instead we now have a long FGA because he's also too green to know we need to keep an extra guy in on 3rd down. WTF.

Finally we stopped someone inside our own redzone. First time this year Yay! We're now 5/6 on the season in giving up TDs inside our 20.

Harrison Phillips would be helpful right now.

I didn't say there's been no pressure in the game, but he's taken off and run on a few plays with little pressure rather than stay in and make the best throw. Pats are dedicating guys to spy Allen and betting he can't figure out single coverage. So far they've bet correctly.

Dabol is in a tough position. Play calling right now is brutal but what is he supposed to do when his QB goes full on deer in the headlights? Josh needs to man up and show some mental toughness here. It's one thing to have a bad series or quarter but you can't completely melt down out there.

Huh? That's exactly what's happening. Allen is rattled has tried to escape the pocket with little to no pressure on a few plays so far, and Pats are ready because they're playing him for run contain. Great game plan by Belichick.

This is worse than Peterman

You wouldn't know it from the scoreboard but Bills D is winning the battle vs. Brady so far. He made one great throw (and White with an even better catch) vs. really good coverage. Outside of that play we're good.

Pats had that 3rd and 9 play well covered but it was single coverage. Get the ball out on time and let your receiver make a play. Josh is rattled and trying to do it all himself because he knows he's off to such a brutal start. He's making things so much harder for himself. That 2nd down hail mary throw looked like JuCo ball.

Watching the reply of that punt block and we're not even lined up correctly. DiMarco, our special teams captain, is way inside and blocking two right off the snap. Brutal. That's coaching.

On the bright side, our schedule is so soft this year we can get clubbed by NE and still make the playoffs.

Man Josh has been way off on every throw so far. Edit: wow super lucky on that fumble recovery.

Incredible throw by Brady. Milano did everything right and Jame White still held on.

Picking on Levi to no avail

Well I suppose this means Belicheat is taking us seriously. We're back to being worth cheating against. Edit: of course it was his son lol

I'm at a 3/10. I think we have the defense and the coaching to finally get it done, but our QB isn't ready. Patriots have an especially challenging defense this year and Belichick always finds ways to make things tough on young QBs who don't have the NFL quite figured out yet. There's a better chance we get held to under 10 points than win the game. I do believe the rest of the team will show up. We're legit good outside of the QB position.

Let’s wait until after NE before calling him up. Barkley got us.

I so badly want to bet the points in this one. Home dog + Bills D + McD's kitchen sink game plan + the fact we're so overdue vs. Pats should = cover...but...damn that that Pats D looks intimidating. I seriously question whether we'll be able to score points. Josh's decision making is iffy at the best of times let alone going against Belichick. I hate betting on the Pats.

Sometimes I still get mad about the Peters trade but I enjoyed EWood. Him and Richie and Shady were basically the whole offense for a couple years. But anytime you can trade away a HOF LT just entering his prime you just have to do it.

Why is that the worst part of the article? He is being asked to make easier throws because we're a more dangerous offense if we can sustain drives as appose to always taking shots down field. Also, Allen has proven the doubters right on the anticipation stuff. He very rarely throws unless/until he sees the receiver is open. That was a big issue in the Cinci game. Every announcing crew so far this year has called him out on it.
