Warner's evidence is persuasive. He's saying Allen needs more patience, but many of the negative plays are the result of the receivers not reading blitz and running long-developing routes. He doesn't say if that's on Brady, the receivers, or both. Looks like that first interception is on Davis (again) for not breaking off his route to help Allen. The second one might just be on him, too, since who knows if he could have made the catch if he didn't trip over his own feet. In Warner's examples, Davis always seems to be in la-la land running his routes while Diggs seem to be either adjusting or just being open.
Can't say I'm impressed by Brady. His excellent W/L record might be more the result of unshackled, revitalized Allen than better play designs. In fact, Dorsey might have been the superior coordinator; evidently the numbers back that up.
That would be ironic. McDermott shackles Allen, it all goes south, so he fires the blameless coordinator and hires an inferior one, but also agrees to unleash Allen, who comes alive, making the inferior coordinator and foolish coach look like geniuses. Meanwhile, Dorsey, not McDermott, is painted as the bad guy who almost doomed a Super Bowl team.
How's that for a counter-narrative?

Ok everybody. We’ve all been here before. Some are expecting the bills to take care of business but that’s not our bills. We will take a huge lead, take the foot off the gas and let them come back. We will score to go ahead in the 4th quarter. The Steelers will get the ball back on the last possession down 6 points and we will all be biting our nails until they fail a 4th and 1 pass to end the game at our 30 yard line. We then kneel the ball 3 times and win
Bills win 24-18
The Bills I know will make Rudolph look like Joe Montana but will keep him to one TD and two field goals. Meanwhile, the offense will stall, punt, turn the ball over, and score two TDs and a field goal, after missing at least one. Rudolph will get the ball back with three minutes left just miss a chance to win, and we'll all age five years. Again.
17-13 Bills.

Anyone remember the strike to Diggs in the EZ in the Pat/wind game? I think that was over 40 yards, and he put it right on Diggs hands.
And, fortunately, the Bills have a run game now. We can run on anyone if we have to.
Yes, but Diggs dropped it because it was wobbled in the wind, not his fault. Perfect demonstration of how hard it is to pass in big wind. You can do everything right and it can still go wrong.
Do they have a run game? They ran on Dallas, who stubbornly stuck with six DBs. Less success elsewhere, and if the wind is bad, the Steelers will stack the box and (if they're smart) contain Allen.
Which would you rather have in very windy conditions, with the QBs more or less negated, the Steelers' line and Najee Harris, or the Bills' line and Cook?

I bet Joseph is activated again for this game. Sit Von. He isn't good against the run and makes little difference in the pass rush these days.
Sit Von for every logical reason under the sun. Activate Eli Ankou and Joseph. If the weather shuts down the passing game, they'll need every man they have for the trenches. Could be a very dull game of stalled drives, punts, and missed field goals, decided by fumbles. With a concussion, Ty Johnson likely won't play, which is killer, since he's so dynamic. It doesn't look like they have another RB on the practice squad. Might be a Cook, Fournette, Murray day, with short passes to Kincaid and Knox, and designed runs for Allen.
I'm not saying anything new, just mulling.

If I was to choose any match up from the playoff teams in the AFC it would be this...
Round one: host Steelers (Browns beat Texans)
Round two: host Chiefs (Browns beat Ravens)
Round three: host Browns
SUPER BOWL - Bills vs Cowboys
Funny, this is just how I've been thinking it will play out, except the 49ers make it to the Super Bowl.

I don’t know about two CB1s, but you’re in to something with Benford. He’s a stud.
Such a welcome development. Just as good (or better, in terms of cost) as if they had hit on Elam. If Elam can develop into at least a quality depth corner, the team should be set at the position next year.

Oh yea his agent definitely got a hold of Ian's phone
Well, I sure underrate him. It's possible that both interceptions are on him. I think that's three games where he and Allen "miscommunicated" on a potential TDs, something that other receivers don't seem to have a problem with.
I think it's time to promote Shakir. Shakir over Davis, Jonathan over Miller, Fournette over Murray, and, just possibly, Bates over Torrence.

It's not fun to lose the AFC East on the final week.
Especially after leading it for most of the season. Demoralizing.
(Good!)

I think it would be a good move if play quality were the only factor to consider. He's been playing poorly and might just be exhausted. Sitting a game might be just what he needs. But the move might hurt his confidence. As others have said, it might also affect the chemistry of the line.
Well, the coaches know far better than we do. Let's hope their judgment matches their knowledge.

Am I the only one reminded of the heat game in Miami last year? The Bills lost that one, but like this game, they dominated in every aspect of the game except scoring. Don't recall if they turned the ball over. So glad it turned out right this time.

17 is the reason the Bills won and he’s the reason they almost lost.
That, in a sentence, is The Josh Allen Experience
Man, he is going to be some sore tonight. He was throwing his body everywhere. That third and 13 run was godlike, reminded me of that famous conversion in Dallas on Thanksgiving. Guy is a centaur.

Allen didn't throw an interception after Gabe Davis left the game, and both of his interceptions were targeting Davis.
You draw your own conclusions...Let's just say that if Davis is out for the playoffs, I'll won't have any trouble keeping my mourning in check.

McD hasn’t trusted Bass all year. There is ZERO chance he will let Bass kick on the biggest play of the season.
You know what "zero" means, right?

Remind me. Have the Bills ever won a game that doesn't take five years off the lives of their fans? I mean, ever?

Pass to Shakir was one of the best of the year
Pass to Cook in the endzone was pretty good, too.

That part is definitely NOT Groundhog Day.

These same Dolphins choked a game away to the crappy Titans in like 4 minutes less than a month ago.Good point. We're all dooming on Allen, but remember who we're playing.

Agreed, but the fact that once again in a playoff atmosphere, our D is AWOL, shouldnt be overlooked.
Allowing 218 yards and 13 1st-Downs to a depleted Miami offense, how TF are we doing to do next week with Waddle and Mostert added back in.
In our first game with Miami we had the advantage of 2 TOs by them, none by us. Now we have two TOs, despite the fact that they have one, and it's a completely opposite game.
SMFH
Meanwhile, McD throwing Allen under the bus just before the half in the exit interview. Also SMFH!
I missed that. What did he say?
-
I have to say, this game is a microcosm of the season. Interceptions, dropped TD passes, lousy defense....
This game has a lot less to do with Miami than it does with Buffalo. This game is who they are this year.
Which means they might still win, but it will be ugly, even disgusting. But a win nonetheless.

There was a time where toe tap Gabe was a thing. He 100% would never catch that deep ball to Diggs.I remember that Gabe. Haven't seen him in years.
Steelers @ Bills. Monday, January 15th at 4:30pm.

The weather is bad news for the Bills and great news for the Steelers, who are an inferior team in exactly the areas eliminated by the bad weather. The only difference between them now is that Allen can run more effectively than Rudolph, which is not much of an advantage. The game is likely to be decided by something stupid: a blocked punt, a defender falling down, a fumbled snap, etc.
It's basically a coin flip game, which sucks, because the Bills would blow them out in good weather.
