    Assuming we don’t catch the Dolphins for the division, 10 wins should get us a wildcard spot.  Here’s the path to 10 wins…

     

    Must wins:

     

    Pats

    @chargers

    Cowboys

     

    Take one of the following:

    @Philly

    @KC

    @Miami 

    10-7 isn’t going to be good enough, not with the playoff simulator i was messing around with. We can only afford to lose 1 game. Pats, Chargers, Cowboys, and Miami are all must wins. It’s between Philly or KC we have to beat.

    Beat Philly and we can talk about playoff odds.  I don’t want to hear about them till we do that.  
     

    We should be their trap game.   
     

    And after watching Miami do all it could to lose to the Raiders I’m not convinced they win Friday.  Mostart looks gassed.  Achane is glass.  
     

    Jets may respond to the QB change.   

    If we lose to Philly, we will have to win out.

    A good Coordinator can adjust and take what a defense gives him. The jets tried the two high shell like everyone else in the copycat NFL but Brady chose to run the ball and work the seam with Kincaid and Have Josh make 2 reads and then go outlet to a back out of the backfield and kill that defense. Not so much creative ( which Dorsey couldn't do to save his life) but high percentage and sustainable. just smart football. Cook can beat any linebacker in the league 1 on 1 and Kincaid can as well and most safeties. I loved Brady's gameplan and It also worked to Get josh's confidence back which was the most important part.

    Finally, a Brilliant poster. This is 100% correct and the right take. It’s obvious to me how much better Brady is vs Dorsey.

    Of course, it really is that easy ....

     

     

    To most of us fans, it’s pretty clear what the issue is. Allen needs to get his head on straight and figure it out. He has the physical tools to be one of the greatest QBs to play the game.

    Because there weren't excessive signs he really needed to last year? Were any of us sitting here in January going "Allen needs to go and live with Brady or Manning"?

    The NFL changes and moves to play players differently. Most teams now play 2 high shell all the time. Allen has been struggling this year as teams play him differently. He needs to seek help figuring it out.

    To add on, a lot of talk about Allen being lazy at times, as a guy whose been critical, there is definitely nuance. 
     

    I don’t think he’s lazy, I think he just needs to be better in certain areas. 

    I just don’t understand why he basically can’t just go live with the Mannings or Brady over the offseason and just absorb all the info he can. Brady was the least athletic QB ever, but he always moved the chains, even with subpar WRs. Same with Peyton. Allen has the physical tools, but doesn’t have the mental tools. I feel like the mental aspect is more fixable than the physical aspect.

    I agree, Josh is struggling mentally. I'm not sure if it's the case that he's uncontrollable though. If he was uncontrollable he'd be doing his own thing on the field, and forget the play calls. He even went out of his way to say he was making the plays as called after the Pats(?) game.

    I think Allen would be doing himself a huge favor if he started consulting some hof QBs and coaches after this season and maybe even going to see a sports psychologist. Sit down and learn all the nuances to the point it becomes instinctive. He’s overthinking way too much, to the point where he has to make himself throw up and making bad decisions on the field. It’s always amazing watching old Brady and Manning clips in how effortless they made it on the field, and it’s because they were mentally obsessed with the game of football. Allen is way more athletic and talented then both of those guys. There is zero reason why Allen can’t be the greatest ever, he just has to clear his head and learn the nuances of the game.

    The issue for me is the apparent accusation, from what's been said, that Josh didn't think he was doing the best thing for the franchise over the close season. Looking after himself was a key component, and I'm sure he felt it was the right thing heading into the season, considering what he (and the rest of the franchise) went through last year, plus his injury which may... or may not... been aggravated since.

     

    Now, he could be in a spiral and unable to see a way out of it. Maybe McDermott thinks a short sharp shock, like sacking the OC, will work. Let's hope he's right and it doesn't send him spiralling further if so.

    I understand what McD is doing, and don’t get me wrong, I’m not the greatest McD supporter in fact I hope we move away from him. It’s clear that Allen is mentally not there and he’s attempting to reign him in. It’s a last ditch effort and if it doesn’t work, he’s likely looking for another job anyways. 

    I’m actually quite disappointed, Allen is a gifted QB and to see such mental hang ups is concerning.

    Wait a minute. 

     

    So we paid our QB 250 million and he's not having fun ?

     

    This sounds like a serious problem 

    It is. But it all makes sense now. Allen always had time for kid practical jokes and purely relying on gifted talents. Allen is an elite QB, but it’s all between the ears with him.

    So it’s been pointed out by SD14, McD, fans see it, OC fired. At what point does Allen realize that dedicating himself to football is the way out of the abyss. He seemed to like being Josh Allen when he was in the upper echelon circle of elite QBs. He can be that guy again if he puts on his big boy pants. 

    It’s up to Allen to figure it out and find his center. The sooner he realizes it’s time to be an adult and get to work, the better for us fans. Allen clearly has the talents to be great, but to take it to the next level requires more than just talent. It takes obsession to win.

    If he's lost his passion for the game, sneering "grow up" at him will probably not help.

    I’m not sure anything will help. Like Josh commented on how he took it personal that Dorsey was fired and that it hurt. There is something mentally off with Allen. He seems like a kid and doesn’t act like an adult.

    Yeah exactly👍

     

    Like I said before...this isn't exactly a Shanahan/Purdy situation. I think Staley for example would get laughed out of the room if he kept putting the blame on Herbert. 

     

    I mean Tomlin for sure can get on Pickett when they're not clicking because 1 he's got the cache and 2 it's Kenny Pickett...but the way McDermott's been on Allen as of Monday night seems a little wild to me.

    Not really that weird. The honeymoon phase is over. McD tried giving Allen a longer leash and it wasn’t working out. So now McD is trying to light a fire under him to take things more seriously.

    I think everyone sees it. Diggs is really just trying to drive this thing forward. I wish JA17 had Diggs’s tenacity. 

    Agreed. Diggs seems like the only person taking things seriously sometimes. Allen has had way too long of a leash and he hasn’t been respecting the offseason like some of the greats have. Firing Josh’s pick of the OC was a clear message.

    This all makes me think it's off the field stuff. I find it hard to believe McD would say "I have my thoughts on it" if it was something in house. If it was a football issue, I feel like McDermott would've gotten it corrected already. 

    I think McD has been playing buddy buddy with Allen for to long, he gave him a long leash, allowed Allen to pick the OC. McD now sees that isn’t going to be a winning solution, so now he’s acting all hard nosed. I think that is why Allen has lost the passion for the game, because he’s away from the honeymoon period now and knows the leash has tightened. Frankly Allen needs to grow up and take things more seriously and get better. 

  12. Honestly Allen just needs to grow up. He was having so much fun years ago because there was no expectations from him and he could rely on his elite talents to be competitive. Now that there are expectations to win superbowls he tends to pout when he isn’t able to overcome the added pressure. 

    Only way to fix that is by reigning in Allen and getting a hard nosed approach. Firing the OC was to send a message to Allen.

    Could it be McDermott realizes HE created a Quarterback that has to be reigned in?  (not referring to running.)

     

    Would he like to look in the film room and now see Allen in there?

     

     

    Wonder if HE regrets giving Allen the pick of the Team's OC.

     

     

    Would McDermott have given Knox such a large contract if Knox was not Allen's buddy?

     

    Would McDermott have to look twice if HE saw Allen working out in their Gym?

     

    Is McDermott now realizing to himself that the only reason He signed Kyle Allen as the backup Quarterback because He was Allen's good Friend?

       (BTW Kyle might be a great guy...but)

     

    Wonder how McDermott feels when He sees Allen all offseason doing His "thing" (showing up at all the major golf tournaments, commercials, Hollywood, etc) and then comes to camp and still has issues with reading defenses but doesn't put in the work. Just utterances in the media of "putting in more work, more focus".

     

    McDermott gave Allen the big contract and now wonders did He create "Holywood Highlight Josh" and let him do as he pleased with no accountability.

     

    Input from your QB is surely  a good thing.  But this has been ridiculous.

     

    McDermott gave Allen carte blanche and Allen took it and ran with it.  Did it result in a better team?  Or a cover on Madden?

     

    I by no means am A fan of McDermott. 
    He should be gone.
    He has lost the Team a long while ago and certainly as pointed out  above, He may have created something with Allen that may not be able to be fixed.

     

    Is He now capable of saying to Allen that He (McDermott) is in charge?

     

    Bills need a Coach that has the final say, not catering to the whims of certain players.

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     

     


     

     

     


     

     

     

     

     

     

    Allen for sure has had a lot of pull around the facility and quite frankly he hasn’t earned that kind of adulation yet. He hasn’t won a Super Bowl. We need people in place that will light a fire under Allen and get him performing like a killing machine. 

    Congratulations Allen, you got your buddy OC fired. That might be part of the reigning in process.

    Well Allen takes every chance he can to remind everyone how there is nothing to do in Buffalo. 

    Because there isn’t. Born and raised in WNY and it’s just a boring place. If you like the outdoors it’s fun (boating, atv, snow activities, etc), but players in season aren’t doing that because they can’t.

    My wish list in this order:

     

    1. Jim harbaugh

    2. Ben johnson

    3. Kellen Moore.

     

    I know they are all gambles, but I want an offensive guy with big upside 

    So many people crap on Jim, but look what he did with Kaepernick. Allen is infinitely better than he ever was.

    no Jim.  

    Why? All he has ever done was overperform. I mean he made Kaep serviceable.
