Drunken Pygmy Goat Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I'll admit, Allen struggled a lot today, and has some ball security issues, but doesn't anyone feel like the Bills were passing the ball way too much today? The run game was good for the most part. It seems like the game was being called to cater to an offense that the Bills are not. And when the smart thing to do is run, they pass, and hurt themselves. I know we all want to see a modern, high powered, near unstoppable passing attack, but this team just isn't ready for that yet. When the passing game has worked this year, it's been on quick, short throws that move the chains. The Bills seem to get away from what they do best too much, like they're guilty of ovee thinking things. Basically, they're out coaching themselves. Couple that with numerous instances where they shoot themsleves in the foot, and you get the 2019 Bills. With a good defense, it's good enough to beat bad teams, but will be the reasons why you lose to good/better teams in a close scoring game. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sherlock Holmes Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 People are seeming to forget we didn't get a chance to see Allen lead the Bills to another come from behind heroic victory. Then he'd be 4-0 and on top of AFC East and gotten to cram the victory Dildy down Brady's throat. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BananaB Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 Typical Bills fans throwing a young QB under the bus after a bad game against a solid team. We’re 3-1 with our only loss coming to the ***** Patriots. The media has been drooling over their defense all week for a reason and we just seen it. That and a lot of blown calls that always go the Pats way. Allen has got to smarten up for sure, but what’s up with abandoning the no huddle when it worked great at the end of the 2nd and start of the 3rd? Isn’t the coaches job to put this guy in position to be successful? He clearly had his way with the Pats during those drives. I understand wanting to run the ball but when you find a weakness in a good D you got to take advantage of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was an opportunity for a statement and instead we got the worst parts of Allen’s game which was trying for big plays which resulted in INTs and pocket presence failure resulting in loss of points. This isn’t the end of the world either. Allen deserves credit for leading the team to 3 wins and you can certainly see his improvement as a QB. But after saying he was done with hero ball, he instead forced 3 different balls for INTs which were crucial to the loss. On the positive his second half play was better and you have to remember NE is really good so it wasn’t like it was against a bunch of scrubs. But this was his first real chance against a great team and he flopped big time. Up until today he was playing at a level that was very workable with no real signs to say his trajectory was down. But this was a bad day which opened some concerns about his long term viability. While I am not a big stat guy he has 3 TDs thrown against 6 INTs plus a bunch of fumbles too. The goal with drafting Allen was getting a guy who can do enough to beat the top dogs like NE and today at argument could’ve been made that the Bills were better off with Barkley just because he would’ve given less negative plays. The second half of the year will have more real opponents like BAL, NE, and DAL. The Bills defense is good enough to make a real run with and the offense has some good weapons like Beasley Brown and possibly Knox who is emerging a bit. Allen failed today but he has a good test to comeback next week and more opportunities to show he can move to that next level. He didn't get to finish the exam dude!

unclepete Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 He just isn't accurate. Even when the completion % is good his passes are off target. He's a gamer, and tough as nails.

LABILLBACKER Posted September 29, 2019 Share Posted September 29, 2019 I can tolerate some physical mistakes but I can't tolerate mental ones. You could see Dabol pleading with him to use his head. He's not learning from mistakes of previous games. Some are absolutely identical. I think he has slow eyes and struggles to read defenses. That's why he holds the ball so long. We all knew he was going to be a "project". But clearly these mistakes are going to take longer than expected to flush out of his system. All day Fouts was saying is this the Good Josh or the Bad Josh. I pray this kid figures it out, I'm not getting any younger..... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The INT with Zay Jones is a perfect example where he threw off his back foot which caused it slightly underthrown.

Allen said he'd stop the hero ball crap after that terrible pick in the Bengals game, yet he fell right back into that ***** today. Not good, doesn't look like he's capable of not falling back on the poor decision making, add to that his accuracy on the deep ball is nonexistent.
