Just not true. Coming into the game Allen is too 5 in every improvement passing stat this season

I suspect your answer is intentionally over the top. But a slightly toned down version seems like it would be ok. "after seven games, its no secret we have made significant changes to our offensive strategy compared to prior seasons. Some of it has worked as we expected. Some has not. We have a special QB that gives us many options on how to run the offense. All of those options are on the table"

This is not true. Almopst everyone hates everything the are emotionally or physically addicted too.

I think Josh is following coaching orders on the sideline. There is an irrational fear of Josh playing with emotions. He is most likely doing what he is told.

This is probably the best single observation I have seen posted on the board regarding yesterday's game and the offense.

I don't know. If the defense is going to play at a level that allows Mac Jones to put up a 127 passer rating, I am not sure a few contested catches more or less is going to make a huge difference.

Dak Prescott has a season long passer rating of 91 - ranked 14th - Dallas is 4-2 Baker Mayfield has a rating of 89 - ranked 15th. - Tampa is 3-3. Yesterday Allen had a passer rating of 90. If you compare Josh to peak Josh it was not good. If you compare Josh to other NFL QBs, it was slightly above average. If you are a fan of ESPN's QBR (I am not), Allen had a 68.9 rating yesterday which as a season average would place him fifth overall. Despite Allen's slightly above NFL average results, the Bills lost to a 1-5 team. This loss is an indictment of the whole team. Josh is not paid to be average. But during the course of 17 games, if his floor is average, that is pretty damn good. If the expectation is that everytime Josh has an NFL average game we should be expected to lose, then we are barely a playoff contender let alone a championship contender. Look at Mac Jones passer rating. Look at Buffalo rushing yards /carry. Look at the Patriots rushing yards per carry. Then explain how the defense's effort for the full 60 minutes, is not the primary cause of the loss. It is worth nothing also that the Bills possessed the ball for 32 minutes to the Patriots 28. The defense was highly protected. And given a lead with less than two minutes to go. No intelligent person could conclude "the loss is Allen's fault".

In prior seasons fans were demanding we take the "sugar rush" out of Josh. Given the coaches offseason comments criticizing Allen for running, the new game plan strategy that has neutered Allen's game, it seems likely the "calm" Allen demeanor is a request from the coaches to keep level the whole game. The next step in improving Allen will be to have him nervously clap after crappy Bills plays. That way we will know he has the proper emotionally state for peak performance.

If they tossed in Tremaine Edmunds, maybe.

an oline giving the QB time.

first pleasant game of the day

quite the catch

Some version of "I am the head coach the buck stops with me" would be nice.

When McDermott uses the term he means "the defense is playing great, the offense is not making our job easy enough, for example, if they would leave the defense with a nine point lead with 2 minutes to go, my defense could close out the game"

Defense is bad. The injuries are one of the reasons.

Unless you lose 3 or 4 in a row. Then the criticism ramps up again.

He came into the game leading the NFL in completion percentage. So your probably wrong. He did not have a great game. Which is why the Bills lost. The Bills are have a middling coaching staff with a middling roster, and a great QB. If the QB has a middling game we lose. We have no other way to win.

IF you make a change it has to be McDermott or Allen. Its a waste to have a revolvling door of OC's with a QB with Allen's talents. Maybe McDermott would be better with Brock Purdy and the other types of weapons the niners have. If you are keeping McDermott, trade Allen and stock up on other weapons on both sides of the Ball. If you keep, Allen, then get a coach he can potentially partner with for the rest of his career. This means an offensive specialty head coach.

Should the team quit after a slow start? Teams need to close to win. We had a lead with 2 minutes to go and the leagues worst offensive 75 yards from the endzone. At that point, the rest of the game does not matter. Head coach can't B word "The offense has to leave my precious defense with a nine point lead when they are more than 12 seconds left in a game"

Good summary of the game and season thus far.

There is also lack of accountability. That is a separate thing from coach speak. Some coaches take responsibility.

tua with lots of time in this pocket like thing

36 of the wins are against the Bills, the most of any team.

The DC and the HC can't get aligned on strategy.

post pictures. that will be interesting.
