    My main concern is that no one at One Bills Drive seems to understand how bad that Miami loss was. It is business as usual this week. Someone should have been fired (Joe Brady), and there should be public anger from coaches and players. Josh moped after the game. That's not what anyone wants to see. Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers would have spit fire from the podium. It was not just a loss. It was a team that got exposed and embarrassed, and they don't seem to care about it. 

     

    If they lose this week, the wheels will come off. 


    Damn. Relax. It’s a mid season divisional loss. I dropped 1K on them and I’m not even that upset. 
     

    They’re not losing this week, btw.

    I think it's fair to say he has lost a half step. The arm strength is still all there, the escapability however looks noticeably diminished. We're seeing what the offense looks like when Allen can't pull a rabbit out of a hat every time he needs to. Those unicorn plays have made it easy to ignore a lot of personnel flaws and unfortunately tricked the GM into thinking that the offense was set.

     

    We need to bake in some more normal blitz reads. Allen in the past has been his own solution shrugging off free rushers and escaping for a big play, so now that we can't count on that we have to find more traditional answers. Unfortunately it is hard to find those answers when you have zero WRs that can quickly separate. Can't be waiting 4 seconds for someone to uncover against a cover 0 blitz, like he did on the play that ended in an INT. Tyrell Shavers isn't exactly the ideal player you want to be relying on there but that's what this season has come to.


    You might be spot on with Allen losing a little bit of his foot speed. That makes it more imperative to surround him with elite pass catchers to take advantage of his arm strength.

     

    If they can’t turn it around this season it’d be such a wasted opportunity. AFC is so wide open right now.

    Your guess is as good as mine. He’s getting older and he’s absolutely essentially for any future success. Limiting as much of that as possible might be the reason?

     

    Who knows if that’s something the coaches have even asked him not to do? We’ve seen less designed runs for Josh but a large portion of his best was always scrambles. This year the scrambles are more often than not too late and getting wrapped up as he’s about to get out of the pocket or he’s extending it for a potential pass downfield. 


    The Atlanta game was the first time I noticed Allen looked slow. I’m not sure if he has lost a step or is not in the same physical shape as prior seasons but it was noticeable to me just watching on TV.

    How confident is this team?  Enough to take a few games off. Remember the Giants first Superbowl victory over the Patriots they went 9-7. No one cares about those seven losses now. 

    If we lose to the Patriots again I will worry. Losing to the Dolphins tells me we mailed it in by design. 


    Losing by design because they’re confident?Cuz they’ve won so much before right? Doesn’t matter if they need to win 3 road playoff games now because of these losses. It’s by design. They’re just that good. 
     

    Btw…that ‘07 Giants team was not their ‘first Super Bowl’. Wide right. Remember? They even won one before that game.

    I don’t see a dominant team anywhere in the NFL this year. Every team has their flaws. Even if we had to go on the road in the playoffs, I think we could beat anyone. Offense is in a rut right now but I have faith they’ll figure it out. 


    Anyone can also beat us. Now try to do that 3 times in a row on the road in the playoffs with those odds. Yeah I wouldn’t be planning parade routes in that scenario.

    Considering the Super bowl champions lost buy two touchdowns to the Giants.. and there still one of the top contenders 

     

    It is a league of parity.. once the playoffs come it is much more apt to judge by the best game you could play not your worst 

     

    It doesn't mean you're going to play your best but it shows what your ceiling is .. any team can play a stinker 

     

    But the focus goes up more in the playoffs.. do you think Josh Allen has the bills prepared and not fired up for a postseason game like today? 

     

    I don't believe so.. everybody still thinks the Chiefs are the team to beat and we can beat them 

     

     


    This line of thinking only works if they have proven to get it done in the playoffs before. They have not. They have fallen short each and every time. 

     

    Eagles and Chiefs have earned their benefit of the doubt. I’m sure you can see that.
