If that was on gores head, I dont believe there would be a call. I know others will not agree with what I just said. But the other thing is if Josh continues to run like a RB then we will continue to see him missing time on the field. He needs to throw for first downs rather than run for them. I like the competitiveness, the desire to win at all costs, but the costs will be high when he is lost for the season on one of these plays. The defensive player loaded up and delivered a blow to the head. He even stayed like that well after the play flexing. Go back and look at it. That type of play should sepercede any other penalties and be enforced. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even the situation aside....there were obvious facemask calls missed etc. It’s very simple. If the league wants fans to watch the game and believe it’s a fair game, they have to put a limit on the “superstar treatment” and step up their game to treat all players at a position more equitably. Otherwise you get these unwatchable blowouts that only the diehard fans of that specific team can enjoy and the TVs get shut off. You are right but I can't get mad at officiating today. The Bills beat themselves. The zebras didn't beat them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once he figures that out, he may have a good career. This was the type of game that could have been won simply by not making dumb mistakes with the football. Punt and live for the next drive - don't make (needless) desperate throws. Not giving up on Allen by any means, but if doesn't start to play smarter football, he's not going to last. I hate to see such a fine defensive effort wasted by a special teams blunder and Allen being careless with the football - it is inexcusable and has to be fixed and fast. I feel like he wanted to be the hero today and lead his team to victory against the hated cheatriots. He made mistakes all young QBs make. He'll be ok.

Of course I agree with you that the Bills beat themselves, but the NFL needs to quit with the waffling and decide whether or not helmet to helmet on a player already in the grasp matters to them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only way to prevent the first down is to load up and punish the rusher. Don’t put yourself in that position. I know you won’t agree but that is how I see it. Run like a running back will result in Allen on the sideline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whether it was or wasn't a penalty on Dawkins a holding call should never offset the plays we are trying to take out of the game for being dangerous. I have long since held that view. That rule is ridiculous. But that isn't on the guys who did this game so much as on the rule makers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MtlBillsFan Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I had multiple meltdown during this game. It was Allen's worst game this year I think. Still, if he stays in the game, we a have a shot at winning. Such an emotional game. One last thing... Damn I hate the Patriots!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it was forcing him to throw out of rhythm. There was plenty of pressure on Brady today and it was critical to forcing him into so many bad throws.

I haven’t looked at the box score yet, but it seemed like the RG wit Gore was exerting it’s will on the Pats D. Seems like you’d want to make the Pats price they could stop it. ?♂️ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Our defense did a good job of putting pressure on him, disrupting his timing, and were aggressive with their receivers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever metaphor you like Our D was brilliant Yes one can point fingers at players but I’m in no way convinced our O is ready for Prime Time coach-wise What a stunning surprise! Micah Hyde said it: “if one of us put a helmet to helmet on #12 we’d be gone from the game” Apparently Mr. Hyde must be a whiner. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frez Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 A few times Brady had way to much time back there. Yip, he's fast at getting rid of the ball but today we missed out on a dominant pass rusher that could be a difference maker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clemfield2622 Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Pat's got called for more penalties than expected....and still got away with a ton. The drive before half was huge again. A blatant facemask is missed which would gave been a 1st down. Then a LB leaped over the OL on the field goal...wasn't that banned? And they had multiple penalties nullified by offsetters including KO'ing Allen Grrrrr Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
