I think most of the Allen critics yesterday and vs Baltimore are justified. Be honest and try not to be a homer. If I'm a defensive coordinator I make Allen beat you by throwing from the pocket and put a spy on him so he can't gain the edge. I personally don't love his game from the pocket, sometimes he is slow to read what is happening and his passes aren't super accurate. I love his game as he moves around and makes throws in crisis, or takes off an runs. I don't know what happened yesterday, maybe he was still hurting from the Baltimore game. Some of his short/med throws were woefully behind or sailing way too high... just no touch or accuracy. Although to me the Hollins pass was fine and shoulda been caught. The pass to Kincaid was horrendous, classic Allen throwing a frozen rope when a nice arc dropping in front of Kincaid so he can adjust and run under it was the play. Anyway, Allen is the man. He's the only reason the Bills are the Bills the past 6 years. So that's just my critique, and no I could not do any better, lol.

Matt Hasselbeck on the Cowherd show said the way Josh Allen's injury was handled was "embarrassing, disgusting and a joke". He was visibly angry about it.

Cowherd had a rant on McDermott. Said Andy Reid in crisis feels like a life preserver for Kansas City. He's so excellent. On the flip side McDermott feels like a kettle bell. Just pulling the team down to the bottom., again and again. He said the Bills are just throwing away potential playoff homes games against these similar teams.

Jordan Love, who i don't like that much, actually throws a nicer deep pass than Allen. Most of Allen's bombs don't have the arc necessary to run under it. That one that Diggs dropped vs KC was one of Allen's best throws that's why it was so frustrating.

I guess that Arizona win in week #1 doesn't look so unimpressive anymore does it?!? Amazing how things change week to week in the NFL.

I thought about this yesterday too. And then watched as Cincinnati flubbed their game winning kick. Like why doesn't anyone flub a huge FG vs Buffalo? Good grief.

Yeah i sometimes criticize Josh on the deep throws (like the one to Kincaid) because he throws a flat rope, not much trajectory instead of putting air under it. This throw to Hollins, to me, was spot on. This was all about Mack not tracking it like a good WR would. That affected his speed and caused it to be a low% just off the fingertips.

On Sirius, the sports show on Mad Dog radio is killing McDermott this morning. Just said he’s absolutely the worst end of game coach and the Bills are going nowhere with him. That’s the summary but all the ranting was spot on.

The throwing of the football while Josh is scrambling right as he's falling or being tackled to just get rid of the ball is a tough way to make a living... it's nearly impossible to protect his right shoulder and head from the impact. He's completely vulnerable doing that and it's happened a few times in the Ravens/Texans games.

It sure looked like a concussion to me. That was old school to give him smelling salts and send him back in the game. I think it will be looked at this week by the league. For Allen to come out in the post game presser and say yeah it was my chest and an ankle.. Ok, Josh.

It would be something to see him chew out his teammates when they screw up, run bad routes, not track the ball, etc.. A little Brady wouldn't hurt. He's all love with these guys in the pre and post game pressers. The man really enjoys football and competition but I did have a weird premonition that he would suddenly walk away from the game. Maybe he will get frustrated, hurt and say to himself, I don't need this any more...i can play golf and live in SoCal with my girlfriend. I didn't see the Bills being in the mix to win the SB this year,,, too many new and young guys. I certainly didn't think the WRs would be this ineffective. For 2025 I expect a much better team around Josh.

I went 0-4 in fantasy today. and absorbed a Bills L. On my main team Aaron Jones and Nico Collins both having nice games went out in the 1st Qtr.

This game is a throwback to defense

How the hell can someone like Tyrell Shavers not produce more than Samuel or Hollins? seems impossible

On Flight radar the Bills plane has landed and parked. I’ll let McDermott stew over the film. I’m now moving on to the NY Jets !

The Bills have won so much in recent years we haven’t worked up many revenge games. We now have the Ravens and Texans right where we want em, if we see them in the playoffs. Thats my glass half full approach

Joe Brady is pissing me off and i’m tired of him learning these tough lessons on the fly. Have a plan Joe. So things went south vs Baltimore doesn’t mean you now have to run on nearly every first down often putting us in 2nd and 8. Every other team can scheme dudes open. Joe can’t get some of these WRs open for a 5 yard pass. We have Josh Allen it’s complete absurdity

It’s a combination of The receivers being horrendous and Josh really being made uncomfortable. To me he’s never been a fantastic pocket passer, he’s fantastix at moving around, scrambling and/or making throws on the run. But this year he’s not running much, and the pocket throwing is mediocre at best. Sometimes he rolls outside late but the spy is actually beating him to the edge forcing a throwaway, short gain, or a bone crunching hit.

If that was Tua on the field today they’d be having segments on every show tomorrow about how he should retire. That didn’t look good for Josh and i was really surprised he came back in. Don’t want the man risking the future of his brain. He is a tough dude but he was zoned Out lying on the field.

I totally agree that only the playoffs matter. But in large chunks of the Baltimore and Houston games this does not appear to be a playoff caliber club. The good news is that we play in arguably the worst division this season, so even mediocre football gets you in the tournament.

We’re back to being the stupid bumbling Bills. and the NFL fans who follow closely are laughing at the decision making today.

What’s weird is that while i don’t necessarily want Josh to be Superman in the regular season, he seems to get more injured when he’s not playing Superman.

McDermott suddenly acting like Brandon Staley. What the hell was he thinking?! it’s indefensible

No one will ever convince me that there wasn’t a much more proven NFL way of killing the clock and getting to OT. There was a series of plays they could have run, and then left Houston with no timeouts left at the very worst. low percentage throws to lousy receivers wasn’t the way

They’re both useless imo
