It’s just incredibly difficult for this offense and QB to hit anything considered “deep”.

John alligator arms Brown comes through. Nice!

Can my franchise QB do something now ?!?!?

My gosh he had all day to throw that! Cmon Beasley. But it doesn’t have to be a 100mph fast ball either

This Duck guy isn’t Big Ben. Bills just need to NOT turn it over. Josh just make a few plays man.

The scripted first series should be a lot better than that. I need to see Josh scramble when things are breaking down.

He’s better than Duck Hodges. I mean cmon. But I think we can all agree, in some big home games vs NE, Philly and Baltimore... teams and coaches with some pedigree, Josh Allen has sucked. He has to be better than those performances.

That ball glanced off the Ravens player. Shoulda been a turnover. Oh well. Game is not competitive anyway but I don’t get what NYC is looking at?!

Jackson is just really really good. I’m not going to be one of those people that claims it’s because Baltimore’s receivers are great. They are pretty solid, but the man delivers the football

It's better for any AFC team chasing a playoff spot to have the Steelers pick up their 6th loss. every AFC fanbase other than Pittsburgh and New England are rooting for the Bills in this one.

I've already said my peace on this issue.. but I will point out the last 3-4 home games have been especially impacted by winds. Last season we got lucky on Sunday's with mostly calm winds.

Good analysis. To me,, and I've been saying this every week, Josh Allen tries too hard to hit these guys in stride with passes that are too flat. He tries to be too perfect. What are the odds of hitting a guy 45-50 yards downfield on a flat rope with a vapor trail?!? 5% -10% maybe? .and even if the timing is perfect and NFL DB will be able to get a hand on it to deflect it because there's no arc. The only time it worked all season was that deep throw to Brown at Miami. In that case Brown was like 10-12 yards past the DB already so a flat pass was fine. Josh's best pass of the season was that high arcing throw into a stiff wind against Denver, deep into the end zone. Gave John Brown a chance to adjust, track it, and run under it... and the DB had no chance of defensing it. It was "dropped in the bucket" as they say. Josh needs to work on his trajectory and arc. That way he doesn't have to be perfect. Let his guys run under it. He should roll tape of Russell Wilson's deep completions. He does it right.

Le’Veon and OBJ seem like exemplary teammates.

I do think it's odd that when our opponents set up a nice screen pass, I immediately see a wall of blockers out in front picking off our LB's and DB's. I don't see the same wall of blockers when the Bills try to execute it. maybe one out of five tries they do it right.

That's a good point. The scripted, out of the gate stuff has been woeful. That's when you receive the kickoff, march 8-10 plays downfield, get a FG attempt or even a TD. At least hold the ball. No one gives up possessions so easily as the Buffalo Bills. McDermott even mentioned in his presser, that HAVE to get better early in the game. Sounds like that's a priority of his going forward. The obvious stuff we talk about here, like inaccuracy downfield or poor field position due to special teams...he sees too.

Yeah, I thought Lamar outplayed him. not by a ton, but he did. Jackson dropped one right in the bucket to his TE in stride while a Bills players was diving at him. That's a long TD. He also executed two nearly unstoppable plays by the goal line for passing TD's. I can't just dismiss those plays.

It's the old saying, Baltimore decided to make Josh exclusively a pocket passer and he failed. Failed miserably. And his receivers failed him too on about 4 or 5 occasions. And the O-line broke down as well a few times. So it's on all of them but the QB has the most control to elevate guys up and mask some of the deficiencies. The Patriots also tried to make him a pocket passer in the game in September and Josh wasn't good. McDermott keeps saying over and over "we have to learn from it".. OK, start learning to beat that system!!

I saw an interview with some players (NCAA and pro) earlier this year and they were asked about playing home/road games. Many of them said they loved the "us against the world" feeling they got from playing on the road and how great it felt to silence the stadium. I think it also has to do with camaraderie on the road and just being locked in because it's a business trip for these guys. Clearly this version of the Bills are road warriors and they spin their wheels at home, especially the offense.

When people are grading Josh, are they looking around at other NFL games and QB performances? A guy like Drew Lock, who looks 12 years old and scared to death threw for 309 yds, 81%, 3 TDs AT Houston. I want Josh to succeed, but he can't be shut down so easily by every good defense he plays against. That was maybe a D performance at best yesterday.

I'm concerned we got this guy for his cannon and playing in the wind/elements... and he got outplayed on our home field by Brady, Wentz and now Lamar. I don't even know if Josh understands how to complete a deep pass or if he's just chucking it up there and hoping? There's no purpose on his deep passes....zero chance for the WR to adjust and run underneath them like a good QB provides. So I'm not encouraged at all. At this point in his career he should be taking off. Baltimore made him a pocket QB yesterday and he failed miserably. Hopefully Pittsburgh defense is not nearly as productive as Baltimore's.

Solid D. And I’m getting tired of nobody’s like Drew Lock throwing for 300 yds five minutes into their careers and our guy isn’t close.

ive been harping on the same thing regarding Allen. He rarely give his WRs a chance to run under the deep pass. They are too flat. Therefore his line drive frozen ropes have to be perfect and that’s a very low %. He needs to watch a lot of Russell Wilson and Drew Brees film. I don’t get why our QB coach is not showing him the benefits of passing trajectory

Bills need 1 more win to qualify. And seriously, if they lose the final 4 games they don’t deserve playoffs.

Nice road wins by KC and Balt today. Not surprising if those two clubs play in the AFC championship game. That would be a good one

Wow ended exactly like the Bills last pass. Nice play KC
