    Josh Allen is looking a lot more like the 2019 version

    Watched back some of the game. Made me less worried about Josh. The Fins played mostly man and were like glue on our receivers. Lot of guys covered and with very little separation. Josh missed on some open throws— but for the most part, the coverage was very good. I think their normal “man beaters,” like WR screens, weren’t clicking as much. 
     

    I am sure there are some throws that Josh can work on or that he would like back. But he also threw some absolute dimes (the long throw to Sanders on the second TD drive; the throw against his body rolling left for a first down inside the ten to Diggs; and both of his TD throws). 

    Not sure what game you watched. Allen played poorly. He missed several throws, was very inaccurate, was fortunate not to have several picks, stared down receivers, threw off his back foot, etc. He was 17-33 for 179 yards. 2 tds and 1 not. Maybe I'm lost...

    My only point is that through the first two games our passing attack is clearly much worse than what we saw last year. We brought back 10 starters and had no changes to the coaching staff. What’s the problem? Why does Josh look like a rookie caught in headlights at times? Part of that is the o-line, clearly. But what’s the solution?

     

    It doesn’t mean this is how things are going to be all year, but things obviously need to get a lot better. If they don’t, we aren’t going to be very successful. 

    Finally someone who isn't afraid to say what he sees! Thank you. It's crazy how honest assessments of poor play gets criticized here. You get branded a hater or a troll. I never get that. I think its ok to criticize and praise when appropriate. Right now, Allen deserves the criticism.

    But it's only been two games.  If Allen and the offense are still playing like this after 8 games then yea we have a problem and we're not winning the SB this year. But after only two games - I'm not concerned.

     

     

    I'm concerned because the issues he had pre draft and his rookie season are apparent again. He isn't seeing the field, very inaccurate, seems to have lost confidence, and his foot work is poor. Not sure how as a fan it's not concerning? How can anyone not be thinking last season might be an anomaly? It's pretty rare that franchise Qbs have  several poor games in a row. He hasn't played well since the Indy game. Its the "big elephant" in the room that no one wants to honestly confront.

    This comment sort of reminds me of golfing... you have some little 330-yard crappy par-4. You slice a crap drive into the rough. Then you hook a junky iron 10 yards left and short. Then you chip it to 2 feet and make a low-stress par. You're happy about it, but the execution through the green was by and large poor and you know you can't maintain it and continue to score.

    True but on the score card it shows a par. In this case a "W." Sonetimes that chip gives you confidence and you start stroking the ball better and you have a great round. You see where I'm going...

    Couldn't disagree more.

     

    There is also a reason why the bills picked up his 5th year and didn't extend him. Cause they aren't sure about him yet.

     

    I don't mean to be negative as the defence was outstanding. But if there was one player who I thought struggled it was Edmunds 

     

     

    For me, Edmunds has largely been a disappoitment. He makes a few nice play but he always misses keep plays and gap containment. In a nutshell, he isn't consistent enough to be an elite LB.

    Epenesa had a coming out party...

     

    If he keeps playing this way notice will be served to offensive coordinators around the league they need to account for him.

     

    I think teams are going to kick themselves for passing on Rousseau. May well end up the steal of the draft.

     

    Zimmer (a team development product) was pretty stout in the middle too with pressures, sack, and stopping the run. Star took some reps and that is a good thing if he can work himself back into game shape.

     

    Milano played an amazing game, all over the place and he and our safeties kept Gesicki in check.

     

    Edmunds was hitting the right gaps when he needed to fill... just a really good game by the whole defense.

     

    Tre was Tre and Wallace was playing a great game too till he got dinged... Dane Jackson stepped in nicely.

     

    They keep playing like this and they will give the offense time to figure things out against most teams as long as they take care of the ball.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

    The defense was outstanding. However, the 2 teams they have played aren't exactly offensive juggernauts. Nevertheless, I like what I'm seeing. Bigger tests are ahead.

    My general thoughts about the game:

    - Bills took care of business and won easily vs a division rival on the road.

    - Defense is playing lights out. 

    - Offense seems problematic. Allen is not sharp, footwork is poor, vision is not great, and seems to be thinking too much. Will need him to play better vs top teams.  Hoping he can turn things around.

    - Bills can run the ball! They need to be more balanced to keep the pressure off Allen. Still perplexed at why Moss was a healthy scratch week 1.

    - Bills coaching staff were more prepared this week. Came right out from halftime and got 7. 

    - Today was fun to watch a stress free Bills win.

    - The pass rush was outstanding. Does anyone know how much we blitzed vs getting pressure with our front? The dolphins had no answers for the Bills constant pressure.

    - One of the major keys to victory were the turnovers. I'd like to think the Bills had a lot to do with that. However, it felt like Miami gave us a few gifts.

    - Does anyone cringe like me when the Bills punt the ball? Seems like it's going to get blocked damn near every punt. This might come back to haunt the Bills. 

    - Thought Daboll made some good adjustments. Ran the ball much more. Little more motion, slants, and less empty set formations.

    - Motor's run was a thing of beauty. He exploded through the whole and he was off to the races. A long time coming. Does anyone feel like he's playing with a chip on his shoulder? 

    Moss is a difference maker in the Bills run game. Tough hard nosed bowling ball. Those 2 tds were hard fought and showed his grit and worth. 

    - Lastly, if wasn't perfect. We can discuss the strengths and weaknesses of the team civilly. I look forward to your thoughts. I

    Well there are legitimate concerns about this passing offense right now. QB play, pass protection, play calling, it has all been kind of bad today. Hopefully they figure it out. I want more than a playoff appearance this year.

    Let's just enjoy this win. It's week 2 and hopefully the offense will improve. Today was a huge step forward for the Bills. Right now, I feel Great!
