I posted this in another thread, but it's specifically about Allen so I'll re-post it here. The key to beating Allen is making him uncomfortable,,, and he had several uncomfortable moments in the pocket yesterday.. Miami caved in the pocket and clogged up the middle running lanes on several occasions. It was a really nice job by Miami's D. They caused chaos around Allen. Most teams won't blitz Josh because he often burns them badly. But Miami said screw it and brought the heat often and it worked enough to be a major reason why Miami stayed in the game..... because it caused mistakes and incompletions. It will be interesting if Cincinnati tries to copy what Miami did. But lets keep in Mind Buffalo still scored 34,,,and that was including a missed 4th down conversion in FG range on the first drive.

From browsing the Bengals board, those posters think Buffalo's defense sucks and can be exploited. Can't say i blame for thinking that way. Hopefully the Bills D steps up to the challenge of a really accurate QB coming here with dangerous WR's.

I think the Bills will address the physicality. It was obvious during the MNF game at Cinci that the Bengals plan was to come out and punch the Bills in the mouth. They were physical at every level of Defense and offense in the short time they played., it was borderline over the edge.

Daniel Jones turned into playoff Josh yesterday and Josh turned into Daniel Jones. BUT, with Josh Allen the Bills have the largest margin for error than any other team in the NFL. By that, I mean he can make more mistakes and the Bills still have a chance to come back and win. That was a Loss for just about every other team. I just don't get the need to throw so many low% deep passes, when there are clear options, wide open underneath? Sure, take a deep shot now and then on 1st down, or maybe 2nd and short but Josh doesn't need to swing for home runs so often. You miss and it kills the drive. Also, when the Bills try to run on 2nd and 8 and get 2 yards it often kills the drive too. Allen need to hang on to the ball when he gets hit. He's been loosey goosey like 2019. But I agree, without JA, the Bills aren't even close to the AFC final 4. Probably not even a playoff team. He's the sole reason.

Bills had so much sloppy sh*t going on today. Tipped ball INT, Strip sack scoop and score, muffed punt (but recovered), balls grazing blades of grass resulting in incompletions, Diggs TD but not a TD because the ball moved ever so slightly down his leg. minus 1 turnover ratio. running game was negligible. Things gotta get cleaned up next week.

As i said in another thread, the Bills put all this time and patience into Hodgins and then expose him like that. It’s shameful really that the guy is on their roster yet they couldn’t evaluate his talents and now he’s a stud in NY. Same season. This one is a bad one for Beane and McD.

Ravens are doing a great job on D. Some might be due to familiarity. No chance the Bills D hold down Cincinnati like they’ve been so far. If they did, our O would take the game over unlike Baltimores.

Allen needs to play a little more like Daniel Jones did today. Lol. well Jones was Efficient, ran well, protected the football at all times. Maybe it is Daboll.

Good. Hurst was such a cocky SOB against us and earlier in this game.

Unlike Skylar, this Burrow fella is pretty accurate.

The Bills D just needs to contain Cinci and limit the explosives. let the O win the game if they play the Bengals.

We might be wanting to see that Anthony Brown dude pretty soon.

Hang in a little while. These playoff games seem to flip around just when you think they won’t. But Burrow does not put the football in harms way. I give him credit.

The Hodgins thing may we the biggest blunder of the Beane era. I mean Jeez, the Bills put in all that time and patience with the kid getting healthy, and they allow him to be exposed like that. Now we have washed guys like Bease and Brown trying to fill the void

Jets fans are laughing right now. not that i care but they played against him twice and it was fairly easy.

I mean Allen has put the ball in receivers hands and just weird sh*t is happening or they aren’t holding on

Just too much noise all week about the neutral site game. Not enough respect paid to winning this game. i’ve made mention in various threads.

I’ve said this over the years and agree.

damn. kinda feeling cursed right about now.

On pace for the D to give up 34 to Skylar . cmon Leslie

Kinda amazed the Bills are leading at the half. can’t give up a score to open the 3rd

We are getting killed on two end zone possessions.

Way to go Shakir. kinda killed things

Lol. i’m sorry. love the Bills but they ain’t the Niners or Chiefs. not really SB caliber.
