Josh isn't inactive on those runs though, dude commits on those fakes he knows how much teams fear him as a runner also for good or bad he has no fear about threatening a block or probably even giving one.
On several occasions I saw Cowboy defenders continue to focus on Allen even AFTER he handed the ball off. Quinn couldn't believe that Brady and the Bills would run the ball 5 times straight. Of course D coordinators are not going to let Cook and the Bills run the ball down their throats with 8 minute TD drives. But when they try to take away the run moving their safety to the line, watch out because Allen is going to cook. The Bills are rapidly approaching a pick your poison offense.

Makes ya sick to your stomach. Every other game the catches that are made, just makes you shake your head…
Yep, in today's games I've seen more great catches then I have from Bills receivers for the entire season. It really is noticeable.

this is a joke right?
Davis has 3 games out of the past 5 where he had 2, 0 and 2 targets. When he actually "force feeds" Davis say, games with 7, 8, 12 targets, he's responded with 92, 100, 87, 105 yards.
These takes get worse and worse.
Yea you're right here - my bad. I was going off my eye test and failing memory and the fact that Davis has had some games where he was targeted a lot and failed to catch many passes (3 games where he was targeted a total of 15 times with only 4 receptions). But as you correctly note there were also games where Davis was targeted a lot, caught a lot of those passes and was highly productive.

I watched the play a bunch of times on the X feed. Here's my take:
Davis is open because of a busted coverage likely caused by those earlier WR screens.Josh does initially look at Diggs who holds his hands out as if to receive the ball.
Josh then seems to flash a look in davis' direction but then settles on Kincaid along the sideline.
Josh either doesn't see Davis or sees him but chooses not to throw to him.
I think that Josh doesn't see Davis. If he saw him but chose not to throw to him that's a serious error on Josh's part.
Maybe the all-22 will show another DB nesr Davis off screen left but I doubt it since KC blitzed so many guys.
Truly a puzzle.
I seriously doubt it's this one. All season Allen has been force feeding Davis to little effect in game after game.

Not to derail the thread, but this is where we get into the weeds when we talk about Allen v Dorsey/Brady.
It is certainly possible that’s exactly what happened and the QB missed the read/mark.But we don’t know unless we are in the film room with the staff.
You got to see a guy open by 15 yards in the endzone though.
Even the best QB's miss wide open receivers all the time in the NFL. Was Allen under pressure that play? Where was Allen's first look supposed to be?

Families gotta stay off Twitter complaining. If he’s not happy his contracts up this year he can move on. It will make a lot of people happy including myself.
Especially since I don't remember Allen's mom posting about how unfair that a pass thrown by her son went right through the hands of Davis for an INT instead of a first and goal.

Hodgins - The one that got away…(LOL sorry I like to stir the pot)
You are not stirring the pot you are reminding us of what is wrong with the Bills focus on defense at the expense of offense. And tonight we're seeing an example of this at opposite ends of the spectrum. First letting Hodgins go was a big mistake for a WR starved team. Second I'm watching D Hop make one great catch after another. Sure he wouldn't have come cheap but from what I'm seeing tonight he would have been worth it.

Watching postgame there’s absolutely zero chance Pegula and Beane fire McDermott.
I agree. And though I believe moving on from McD would be in the best interests of the Bills going forward I did feel for the guy at the end when after the Bills stopped the Chiefs they showed McD on the sideline almost keeling over with relief.
And it was clear that the Bills played for McD yesterday. Say what you will but he hasn't lost this locker room.
With that being said though we still saw the issues of a Bill's offense that has been neglected over the last few years, particularly on the O line & at WR. As I look around the league the most successful caches & organizations are those that prioritize the offense.
And in the end the D did give up a TD that might have led to another excruciating loss.
But this WAS great win there is no denying it. And if McD can get the Bills into the playoffs and then in the off season reset the draft & FA priority towards strengthening the offense I would be very happy to have been wrong about McD.

Anyone wanting to trade Josh Allen is either a moron or a troll. Don't even take those posts seriously.
Was there someone saying we should trade Allen? I avoid the game day threads and focus on the post game stuff so did I miss this insanity?

I get it. Has anyone ever seen offside called on the offense? I don't remember ever. No one I know remembers one either.
He was clearly offside, no one can refute that. But no warning at that point of the game is inexcusable. I get why he blew up and why both Mahomes and Reid made (the likely expensive) comments they both made after the game.
During last night's game offensive off side was called on the Eagles. Should the refs have warned the Eagles guard when he lined up off side prior to the TUSH push?
Tooney was in a bunch formation which means the sideline ref was what, 15 - 20 yards away. Is he supposed to yell at #19 to get on side? So what happens when the ref is screaming at Tooney and Bills players look up at the ref to see what he's yelling about as the ball is snapped? You can't have a ref distracting things at that moment of the game.
And for the record offensive off sides is called a lot in high school football and on occasion in college ball. Usually by the time they reach the Pros the players on offense know how to line up.

3 straight plays after a 49 TD that was negated by a really lame penalty.
I don't understand this mindset at all. Of ALL the penalties in the book offside is the most fundamental and least subjective one. If you are offside at the snap you are offside. That penalty was the least "lame" penalty they could have called.

Josh gets his automatic game ball, barely. I'm revoking Stef's automatic game ball, he had multiple drops and 0 impact.
Barely? Without Allen today we lose this game.

Odd. I’m pretty sure I’ve seen Offside called against offenses before. Nice that the Chiefs got warnings instead. Perhaps their credit ran out.Offside will be called every time a WR lines up off side. It's a rare call because WR's lining up off sides usually only happens in HS football. The ref is looking right down the line and they will throw the flag on that play EVERY TIME.

Not his worst game but nowhere near his best either. When compared to the Eagles performance, it’s night and day. He didn’t get help, admittedly, but some things - like taking that sack in the fourth instead of throwing away and missing Davis… Saying that’s playcalling didn’t help. Should probably file a missing person’s report for James Cook.
Almost any other QB in the NFL would have been sacked 4 or 5 more times today then Allen was. Allen made a couple of throws that were otherworldly. What we saw is that our O line, while better then last years O line is at best average . They were like a turnstile today and had what 3 holding penalties?

Something very wrong with Diggs. His route tree is extremely limited and he’s not as quick as he wasI agree. He's not getting separation and he had a couple of drops today. Is it that bigger and more physical DB's can knock him off his game? With Diggs playing average the Bills WR group is almost as bad as the Chiefs.
As an aside this is the 3rd straight season where Diggs has faded at the end.

When you hear a oft-repeated "truth," it's a good exercise to flip the first and second clauses, just for a reality check. In the case of the Allen narrative, rather than, "Sure, he's a great quarterback, but he's a turnover machine," you get "Sure, he throws interceptions, but he's a touchdown machine."
Bias exposed. Cheers to Greenberg for not being a sheep like his colleagues.
His point about no one mentioning all the strike outs when Judge was hitting all those HR's was spot on.

If you think rookie/ 2nd year Allen is the same player as Allen now, you lack any objectivity.
I didn't say that. Obviously the 2018 & 2019 Allen was a work in progress and far from the elite QB he is today. What I was responding to was your continued parroting of the false narrative that McD did a good job "developing" Allen. IMO the evidence from those two years, particularly 2018, was that Allen was thrown to the wolves.
The fact is that McD had a "plan" for Allen's development that was poorly designed and executed (sound familiar). The plan involved bringing AJ McCarron in as the "vet" QB Allen could learn from. The problem was that no one told McCarron before he signed that was going to be his role and he wanted no part of it. Then the plan was to let Allen sit and learn while Peterman was named the starting QB. And how long did that last? It lasted until Peterman had set a new NFL record for consecutive offensive possessions without getting a 1st down in game 1. In what alternate universe are we going to call this a good plan?

Didn't Ken Dorsey fail this season? I think that quote is ridiculous. Also he starts with a quote, inserts his opinion, and ends with a quote like the entire narrative was from a reliable source. His writing style is deceptive IMO. I was hoping for a more fact based article where I could form my own opinion
The key to the role Dorsey played in this season's struggles revolves around whether or not Dorsey was free to create the strategic & tactical approach the Bills offense took. By this I mean:
* Was Dorsey the one who suggested that they needed to change Allen's playing style?
* Was Dorsey the one that lobbied to slow the offense down to better compliment the defensive effort?
If these are all on Dorsey then he failed on his own. But if Dorsey was following the orders of McD here then all Dorsey failed at was in the execution of where McD wanted to take Allen and the offense. And that is very different from "Dorsey failed this season".
I don't have the answer to these questions but this article along with other tidbits from McD over the last few months - his interview with the NFL Network is revealing - suggest that McD is the author of the strategy that failed to work for Allen and the offense. And this IMO, not the 9/11 foot in mouth quote, is the real problem with McD as the Bills head coach.

I’m not trying to defend 911 Sean but to pretend like Allen was this version of Allen right away is completely misleading. Allen was brought along slowly and had a very good defense to help him settle into the job. The Bills did a great job developing him the right way. And since 911 Sean was the head coach, he deserves credit for that.
Allen was brought along slowly? You mean by not giving him very many first team reps in training camp and preseason in 2018 then naming him the starter in WEEK 2 after Petermann's epic, record setting fail in week 1? That was slow to you?

Pretty clear his intent was to hatchet job the guy at the worst possible time. Look I want McDermott gone, but if I believed 1/10th of this it's be too much
Well the 9/11 part appears to have been true as McD tried explaining it at his press conference today. My guess is that most of Dunn's reporting is true but lacking some context.

"The governor" was not to get JA17 hurt. Flame out like Cam?
I think that was part of it but McD's comments and the NFL network interview would indicate it was a lot more then that. If in fact McD's trashing of Newton is to be believed then saving Allen from injury was the least of the reasons for doing what he did.

SNF: Ravens at Jags
in The Stadium Wall

What will it take for someone like Lawrence to take over the title of "turnover machine" that they hang on Allen? THREE INT's last week and what ever the hell that was. That was the worst lost fumble I've ever seen.
