This team is really good and Barkley can at least get us to the playoffs.Ā Ā Josh has had two off seasons, two training camps, two preseasons, and 16 games. Heās been erratic at best but today was the first time I started to question his mental toughness. This game reminded me of the Peterman five picks game in that Josh got so far into his own head that he couldnāt execute the most basic tasks required by an NFL QB. You have to be able to move on to the next play. So much of what happened today he did to himself, and thatās the worst part of it. Actually 1 off season not 2. How many has Barkley had? What has Barkley done in his career to think he can get us into the playoffs? What did he do today to make you think that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boatdrinks Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 6 minutes ago, Norcalbillsfan said: I might be slightly over reacting, but yes belichick knows how to make young QBs look terrible (goff suber bowl). BUT, belichick didn't force allen to make those incredibly terrible throws. All the picks were 100% terrible throws and decisions by Allen and those mistakes will never beat good teams. I thought Allen looked more decisive so far this year and better throws, today he was worse than he's ever been. No he didnāt , many of those were unforced errors. We saw the frustration coming out from a young QB that forced things when the opportunity wasnāt really there. Patience will come slowly to Josh, it seems. However, he has talent and just might have pulled this out against the odds.Ā Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 11 minutes ago, WideNine said: As much as I like the fun-loving nature of Allen, he often says things like "back in your generation, or you old guys may have done..."Ā Ā Reminds me of my son when I predicted something he was going to do going horribly wrong and he argued with me later, "what makes you think you were going to be right?". We were driving back from a fishing trip and I said, "I have more wisdom than you". Ā "What do you mean?" he asked me. Ā "It means I have more years on earth and more experience than you and it helps me make better decisions."Ā Ā "By that rational, I will never have more wisdom than you do", he said with a lot of teenage sauce. Ā I looked over at him, winked and pointed with a cha-ching sound Ā The moral of the story is that Allen needs to start listening to what those with experience around him are saying and he seems like my thick-headed teen in a lot of ways. Ā We will see how he responds to this as I have never seen Daboll so in his face that angry and animated. What I am not sure I liked is the way Daboll stopped talking to him.... as pissed as you are as a coach you have to set some of that aside and figure out a way to get your QB back on track. Maybe that happened over half time - cannot say, but it was telling that McD had to come over to settle things. Ā Itās not at all uncommon for young talented athletes to get a little full of themselves and stop listening. Ā Yeah, they may say the right things, but theyāre thinking āI gotta win this thing, I gotta make something happen!ā and āI can throw the ball out the end zone if I score!ā InsteadĀ of taking it one play at a time and laser-focus on study and hard preparation. Ā If Allen has what it takes, this game will be a ācourse correctionā for him and heāll learn that if you donāt put every ounce of energy you have into game preparation for a good opponent, youāre going to get your clock cleaned by someone who does. Ā If he doesnāt figure it out, he doesnāt have what it takes. Ā But none of us know that now. Ā Every QB has bad games. Ā Itās what happens next time he plays that matters. Ā As for Daboll, IMHO he needs to go home and spend some quality time looking in front of a mirror to see whoās responsible for the totality of Allenās play in that game. Ā Iāll wait for the all-22 to make a judgement, but IMHO Dabollās play calling did not position Allen for success. Ā I think he was trying to be too cute at times and that Belichek basically has āThe Bookā on Daboll as an OC. Ā But he still could have had success if he stuck to what we really do well. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But, watching him get schooled because of a great BB defense will only advance his knowledge of the game. Next time, he will have seen some of this. This time, he was lost.

WideNine Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 (edited) The positives folks. Ā We took Belichick's team down to the wire with a young team getting better. His offense which was moving at will against other teams could not do anything against us. We had a special teams gaff that was most of the difference. Ā We scored against NE when teams have not been able to do that at all. Ā How about Peko, and 7th round pick Johnson? Edmunds was filling holes and where Sony hurt us last year, he was pretty much stuffed all game long. Ā Brady's throws look like Barkley's only worse. Ā Gore was amazing, but having Singletary back will be huge. Knox stepped up when needed and is turning into the TE asset I have been looking for on the Bills. Allen will learn or he will end up being replaced by the organization. The onus is on him, but I would like to see this O-line improve a bit more. Not excusing the poor decisions outside the pocket, just the many times the pocket collapses, or edge rushers getting their hands on our QBs.
