Josh Allen was not the QB we loved 2020-mid-2022 in the Jets game. The game planning by coaches was fine. That loss was squarely on him. In the reverse, Josh doesn't play as patiently as he did against the Raiders which was heartening to see. Both games are a single data point each and too early to draw conclusions. But in both games, Dorsey's schemes & play calls looked sound with only a couple of head scratchers.

They have been booing all evening. Every Browns possession but now they may have added a new target.

Wth was the Steelers OL doing on that last play?

You meant Wallace, right?

This is a pretty boring game. Can't quite figure out if both defense are that good but the QBing is mediocre.i feel asleep for several minutes

McD should make Josh watch the zen moments before every game Quite the opposite for me. I watch the 4 view on my projector screen when the Bills are not playing. With the large pj screen, it is like watching 4 regular sized TVs. The best is that the commentary comes from the highlighted panel and the switch has only a slight lag.

Thanks. I will pm you when I have such questions. Some primer on the terminology would be great. Savvy watchers like you, Gunner, Simon, Badol, Bocephuz can diagnose individual players and plays so much faster in real time!

Reading this just made me feel football illiterate 😔

As long as the other 10-15% ain't in the post season 🤔

Goood pass protection today.

good job spreadng the ball arund

I think Dorsey reads this board. lol. We were Asking for Murray to get the ball

You alluded to the fire within Allen and it bears mentioning that prior to GB game, he would continue to play well after interceptions and will the team to a win. There was a drive within him which you could see in his eyes and body language. So, perhaps statistically the turnovers are not significantly different . But the rest of his game is not making up for them.

Agree word for word. I am done with this "coaching is the only thing holding us back". It did in the 13 second game but not since the GB game last year.

So does Josh

Which could be true right now as well. Do we really know how hard Dorsey is trying to put schemes in around Allen's limitations? And how often JA goes off script to destroy those plans? What's frustrating to me is that many respected posters think that he will always need a guy to manage Allen's tendencies. How many successful QBs in the NFL have needed such constant guidance counselling and baby sitting ? If he needs more years psychologically to develop and needs a strong voice around him all the time, we have a major problem. In high stress situations, such as playoffs and Superbowl, that QB will be out there on the field. You cannot hope that he won't go off the deep end and shut off all calming voices. Josh has to own his own development, he has to accept he has a major problem and commit to long term change. It will be hard but if he wants to earn his high paycheck and achieve what he is capable off, there is no other choice. I have equated this problem to an addiction - success only comes when the addict accepts the issue, gets help and makes the hard changes. Such success doesn't happen by always having a baby sitter to keep the person from relapsing

He is coachable but his stubbornness is like an addiction - you can't trust him with it without constant over -sight and positive reinforcement. Dude is like a petulant child who constantly needs parenting

You do know the half time score against the Jets, don't you?

Your post is a hopeful scenario and I truly hope it does come true. However, I am having a tough time identifying the source of the issue. I am not convinced it is his lack of trust in the OL. He has a tendency to not trust anyone except himself and Diggs. This in itself is troubling. But besides that, I very much worry there is some deep psychological or personal life issues going on which are causing him to not focus and prepare for games. I am very worried about the kid. Lets say I am wrong about this and your scenario plays out, how long will good Josh be playing that way? When will he regress again into bad Josh? Opposing DCs clearly have the easy button to trigger the latter to reappear - like with an alcoholic.

Allen was mentioned in the same breath as Burrow and Mahomes. Mahomess team lost narrowly and he was decent for the game. Burrow was not good at all but he could differentiate between uniform colors even though the Browns' colors are in the same family as Bengals. Allen couldnt tell the difference between Blue and Green

As goes Josh, so does the team. I expect Allen will reduce the number of errors per game and we will stumble and bumble into the playoffs where he will get exposed yet again. In a weird way, I would rather have a bad loss in the playoffs than in the Superbowl. I have zero confidence in good Josh showing up on Superbowl game day.
