Suddenly it's a game!

No surprise here with the current trend of playing rookies early. At least he has two games in the remaining schedule where the opposing D won't lay a finger on him 😃

The last two games are skewing the perception. In the first 3 games, he was very calm and was dissecting defenses (well maybe not the first half of the Cardinals game). In the last two games he has been skittish and bailing but I dont think it is much less or more than he has in the past under intense pressure. The reasons have been hashed multiple times in other threads but when a pass play is called, he cannot see an open receiver due to our catchers not getting quick separation and also because there is an extra defender seemingly in his face within 2 seconds. It is easy to criticize Allen for not climbing the pocket but there needs to be one in the first place and deep enough to step into. So, in general, he has looked off platform a lot in the last two games. This of course comes with the caveat that my thoughts are based on TV feed only. And you and I could look at the exact same video and you would see a lot more.

Yesterday, when that deep pass fell incomplete , I thought from the TV angle that Hollins either ran a lazy route or just gave up on the play a fraction of a second before the ball arrived. You were at the game - what did you think?

Bills last win in hou was in 2006 with JP??!

Rather poor 2 throws

Nice job spiking it quickly

How does Ray Ray still have a job?

Tampa Bay unwilling to close this out

Random thought - Mayfield , Allen, Darnold, Jackson all doing well this season. Story of his NFL career

What about their play calling? Terrible Classic Cousins

What a turnover!!! Just when you thought the game was over

This I agree with. However , Josh may be too loyal to the people who picked him in the draft . He may think going to Pegula is equivalent to stabbing McBeane in the back and he doesn't strike me as that kind of a person. But I think he should have an open conversation with McBeane and Pegula and demand better weapons. Maybe he just hasn't exercised his clout yet

And maybe the reason he isn't a HC somewhere right now. But I have been advocating his hiring as Bills HC for at least 2 years now. If we show more signs of being unprepared for games, as we were last Sunday, then Pegula really needs to call Belichick and say - HC but not GM, chance to coach Allen (who BB admires), chance to cement his legacy and prove he can win the big one without Brady. And see what BB says. I would take 3 years of BB so the Bills can win a couple of titles and he gets to ride off into the sunset with no ifs, ands or buts to his legacy. Imo, his biggest attributes are game planning for the specific opponent and having his teams never screw up in big moments.

In the case of Adams, I dont want Beane to make the same mistake as with Von Miller - paying a lot for an almost over the hill player. Much as I want Adams' talent on this team, I much rather go after the more affordable 1-2 year rental in Hopkins.

Thanks for this information. Every 20 posts , someone again brings up "we cannot afford him". To that I say, we cannot afford not to have someone like him on this team. If yesterday's game provided a blueprint to our other future opponents , we are in trouble (much as was expected but hoped against). I am not saying that a DeAndre Hopkins would bring us a win yesterday (,cos there were other issues) but certainly we would have another, missing now, element to the offense.

The Ravens are sc***ed

That was some gawdawful quarterbacking last night. Jones is really backup material and Dak continues to get unearned accolades

He did look very fast on that TD.

Hopkins has not been playing a lot of snaps this season. If that is due to the lingering effects of the MCL then we can hope he can be somewhat healed by October to play a higher number of snaps. As for his age, the good thing is that we don't need him to play "every down". That should keep the freshness in his aging legs. We can use him to add another dimension to the offense during the regular season. His experience and savvy will help immensely in Jan and Feb

Yes, absolutely. (I think he had a recent injury , and my "yes" is caveated with hoping he is fully healthy)

A little closer than the past two. Bills 30 Ravens 23 (late TD to remind us of cardiac exercises from the couch)

AFC Offensive player of the week. Cos no one came close https://www.buffalobills.com/news/bills-qb-josh-allen-named-afc-offensive-player-of-the-week-week-3-2024 Edit : I am late to the party 😐

I have been saying Allen has been throwing very fluidly. But then it can't be a solid Maybe I need to be less of an engineer and more of a fan.

I wish there was a clock on his top speed on that route. I can tell it ain't 4.61/40
