Let's not forget how the D is playing.

Not to mention a great run to get the 1st down.

That's the Allen I want to see!

What a dream start

Yikes. He is better than Tua

Great to hear the Bills fans showed up in Miami.

Didn't like that first pass by Allen. Hopefully he was just amped up...

What a run! So great to see. He exploded through the tackles.

Exactly. Just win the game. Division rival on the road is not going to be easy. Not looking for style points at this point. Just go 1-1. An 0-2 start will really be disappointing.

I think you are missing one glaring weakness. The Bills lack of running game or threat of one. It helped Pitt front 4 succeed. It might be a resounding theme as the Bills play better teams. It certainly hurt them in them in the playoffs. I think the Bills too pass dominate and puts way too much pressure on Allen. The offensive balance seems problematic. Spot on! Thanks. I thought of it all by myself with no help.👍

Perhaps. But maybe it wasn't meant to be taken literally. But, I'll take your advice. Thanks.

Of course I watched the game. KC dominated the Bills. Bills were extremely fortunate to even have that glimmer of opportunity. At no point, did I feel or think the Bills would win the game. The next game what happened? Let's be honest, the Bills are chasing KC and its really not close. I stand by the 10% chance to beat em. I think the Bills offense struggles this season. They really haven't played well since the Indy game. Granted the defenses were very good. I feel that Allen had a dream year and he's likely to regress. The Pitt game certainly wasn't encouraging. Really haven't seen him play that poorly since his rookie days. The Bills still have trouble running the ball. Daboll's playbook is there for everyone to see. Of course, it's just my opinion and many will disagree. I'm completely fine with the varying opinions. Only way to really know is to watch the season play out.

Ok can't was too strong. The Bills have about a 1 in 10 chance of beating them. Maybe you failed to watch last years games?

As unpopular at it sounds I happen to agree. KC is in a league of its own and the Bills flat out can't beat them. The Brown's running game will likely destroy the Bills. Pitts front 4 is too much for the Bills to handle. Thus far, Bills have major holes on the Oline and running game. Allen is likely to regress and the pass rush still suspect. Sounds a lot like last year...What helps is playing in the weak AFC east. Bills should win by default. It's way too early to call. Perhaps the Bills progress and become elite and are able to compete with KC. I suspect it's a one and done for the Bills the year. Would love nothing more than to be wrong on my assessment.

I'd say he's a major concern even in perfect weather and health.

Yes very much so.

Could it be that the players you mentioned are healthy and just lacking talent especially vs a Steeler front 4? Appreciate the post but I don't think anyone is writing off the Bills. The patriot comparassion isn't a good one because Brady was on the team.

I think Allen and the Oline struggle. Bills will struggle with the run game. Defense plays lights out gets a few turnovers. Bills 16 Miami 14

Brady is a bad example to chose from.

There are ways to slow down a pass rush. For example, solid run game, screens, quick slants, misdirection plays, etc... The Bills flat out failed to make the proper adjustments, players didn't execute, and or they don't have the personnel to match up with the Steelers. Probably a combination of all three. Wish the Bills could do something similar.

Agree 100%. Imho, its an excuse and a cop out to use the Steeler D as an excuse. It was a total team loss. The offense just plain sucked except for one great drive. Special teams gave up a rd in a blocked punt, and the defense under preformed in the second half. Coaching was about as bad as it gets. I'm not afraid to criticize when its warranted. The Bills from top to bottom deserve the backlash. It was an unacceptable product, preparation, and strategy.

Partly true but I think the concerns stated in the playoffs. KC manhandled us. Balt defense smothered us as well. However, weather was a huge factor no doubt. I think the offensive issues shouldn't be so easily dismissed as Pitt is a tough match up. The inability to run and pass block consistently has been a theme for this team for a long time. It definitely shows up when the Bills are facing top 10 teams. Fortunately, I think the Dolphins are a team we should beat dispute the above mentioned issues.

That doesn't negate the fact that Allen, the Oline, special teams, and played poorly. As well as he Bills staff got serverly outcoached.

Great article! I got crucified when I mentioned Allen looks to be regressing. This piece articulates it more specifically and professionally. I feel somewhat vindicated but yet don't feel good about it.

Very plausible. The AFC east is weak and the Bills appear to be the beat team.
