I don’t care what the stats say to justify an argument around the 2021 Josh Allen thus far. Kirk Cousins’ numbers are in an elite category this year - look at his team’s record and his performance in close games when plays need to be made. We see this every year with QBs (and name any other position) where the statistics do not tell the entire story. Allen hasn’t played as well as he did last year. He hasn’t made the plays he has had to at key moments many times this year. He has shown inconsistencies and questionable decision making countless times. He has repeatedly made poor reads. Can anyone disagree with that? In comparison to his 2020 season? The standard he set when he earned the franchise name tag and pay grade. That is his benchmark. Now, is it because of the offensive line? Lack of run game? Scheme? Maybe. It’s the same offensive line as last year and last time I checked we couldn’t run the ball last year either. I find it hard to believe it’s all on Daboll and scheme. That is a classic scapegoat excuse to not call out our Franchise QB. Allen hasn’t been bad. Who knows where the team would be without him. But it’s fair to say, Allen hasn’t been the Allen of 2020.

Everyone wants to blame the running game, which was equally pitiful last year. If anything, this year there has been more of a commitment to at least attempt to run the football. Allen was able to make up for a lack of running game last year and the offense was still able to produce at a much higher and consistent level. IMO Allen is just not playing as well as he did last year.

This. All the reporters, not just Sullivan, were asking hard-hitting questions in the pressers. It’s time for that. The team has underperformed expectations and repeatedly deflected issues with cliche answers throughout the entire season.

That wasn’t the question that was posed. We all know Jerry looks for clicks and throughout the entire drought era was the first to look for the negative. It’s who he is and it has always been his style. With that being said, to ask the defensive captains if their “run defense is embarrassing” is a fair and valid question. He did not attack them personally, he attacked their performance. Which is justified IMO. Multiple missed tackles by both Poyer and Hyde and the entire defense. Hyde’s whiff as last line of defense resulted in the longest run of the game.

Hyde and Poyer are safeties and we’re thrown into the box to stop the run. I distinctly remember both missing multiple tackles resulting in long rushes tonight. Hyde was last line of defense on the long TD run and whiffed. Deserved to be called out just like the entire defense.

It was a fair question. Tired of this team being coddled. They threw the ball 3 times. The world knew the run was coming and they could not stop it. If anything, Sullivan was being nice with that question.
