Believe what you want to believe. I can think of a half dozen subpar plays by him in a game where his supporting cast also played poorly. Two things can both be true.

Allen had a fairly poor game but I agree about the receivers. There was a lot of hidden yardage in those sacks in the sense that Allen repeatedly passed up 4-5 yard sacks and instead took 8-12 yard sacks. It was frustrating to watch. He played pretty out of control, generally speaking, although of course his line and receivers didn’t help. His first pick was awful too. He had time and misread the field. He had open guys underneath. I also think he made a very poor decision going after stingley on the boundary on the final set of downs. That was a no-chance play.

Well, the D essentially held the texans to zero points in the second half. The fg was attributable to Shakir’s fumble in houston fg range.

I can’t get too down on the defense. They effectively gave up zero points in the second half. The only points houston scored were the three they got after the shakir fumble in FG range.

Irrelevant because of the penalty. The much, much bigger issue was not running a tush push on third down. It almost always works, and they HAD to get a first there. And they should have run it on fourth down as well if they weren’t going to run it on third. Get up to the line quickly and force it through.

Irrelevant. It would have been called back. The real issue is not running a tush push on either 3rd and 1 or 4th and 1 . Effing inexcusable. You need a first above all else. That play works.

Back to the 4th down call: that was a true “deserve to lose” play call. On fourth and a long 1, that play call never works. More specifically, it has never worked for the Bills in recent times.

I knew they were going to pass it there after three straight meager runs on first down. Houston knew it too.

Brady is being seriously outcoached.

Yeah, first posession. Pass to Hawes.

All legit calls. It’s been a problem two seasons running, and that is coaching.

Again, I hate to be that guy, but it is in the league’s interest for Houston to win this game. The refs are an issue.

One penalty on the Int return, which was blatant. To be fair it saved the bills four points.

And should have more.

This defense is so, so bad. One of the worst offenses in the league should have 30 if not for errant throws to wide open receivers under no duress.

Really, if not for some errant throws to wide open receivers with no pressure, the Texans would have 30 in the first half.

Don’t blame Lewis. Blame the scheme for allowing Houston to get into that position.

On pace to give up 40 to one of the very worst offenses in the league. That scheming on that final drive is why I think that the Bills will never get to the promised land with Mcdermott.

It was a long clock and they played it like a short clock.

This two minute D is SO bad. No pressure and plenty of time for offense

What the hell are the bills doing on D??? Zero oressure.

One thing that is true: Fairburn, who is a shaky kicker historically, is never going to miss a kick against the Bills.

I hate to be that guy, but before the game I predicted that the refs would be a problem because it is better for the nfl if Houston wins. No flags called on Houston so far. Penalties are committed on basically every play.

This defense is awful. If a real qb was playing for houston, they’d have between 20 and 24 points.

The D was totally unprepared there and absolutely should have called a TO. Bad coaching.
