OOO Thats right he didnt. https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay?gameId=401127866 I stand corrected. I was thinking of the one in the Jets game I think it was that bounced off of Beasley's hands. In the NE game he only threw 3 picks which I'm sure had no affect on the outcome. I blew it. I'm not going to make any excuses. Go BILLS !!

Making him play scared/safe might minimize the bad things, but it also kills production. I'd rather take the bad with the good and score some points. It has been painfully obvious since the NE game that Josh was being reigned in. Perhaps that was intentional, and perhaps It was just Josh getting too cautious in his approach in response to the interceptions and criticism. Whatever the reason, he has not been the same and neither has the offense. While this has all been frustrating, I think this is simply part of the leaning process for him. We all hope he figures out how to strike a balance. We cannot have him playing like Tyrod and expect more than we are getting. He needs to be himself. 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HeHateMe Posted November 14, 2019 Share Posted November 14, 2019 I mean they've been pretty fearless on offense, they keep trotting out Lee Smith to jump off-sides and we run Dimarco downfield 30 yards for incomplete passes.. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This all started in 1995 with the release of the song "Dont Take it Personal" by Monica. Since then, personally has become personal, and people drop the -ly whenever they can on other words. It infuriates me as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think all the players need to play fearlessly not just Allen. When you -- any NFL player -- are worried about making a mistake, you think about what you should do instead of reacting instinctively, and that makes you a fraction of a second slower, which can mean the difference between the success or failure of any play. More importantly, I think that the coaching staff has to coach fearlessly and come up with a game plan that takes into account players' strengths and weaknesses even if that game plan takes them out of their comfort zones. Just because Allen has a big arm doesn't mean that he has to throw the ball all the time. His failures as a passer since the NE game seem to be weighing on him. The Bills seem to have a decent run blocking OL and a nice young RB in Singletary. Let the RBs tote the rock, build their stats, eat up clock, and take the pressure off Allen so he can regain his self-confidence by succeeding rather pushing him to imitate Tom Brady or Aaron Rodgers or Patrick Mahomes. He's not good enough at this point in his career to be expected to carry the team, and relying on a stout defense and good running game to support a young QB is a tried-and-true method of finding success for both QBs and teams like Brady and NE in 2001, Roethlisberger and Pitt in 2006, and Wilson and Seattle in 2013.

Being an overthinker ( not smarter thinker ) Suspect Daboll and McD were finding out how much Josh could process and trying to find some coherence in the O line and WRS , TEs RBs. Now we are on the back side of the season, Perhaps training Camp is over. and now it is time to rock and roll and put more cards on the table.

Part of this means to me , they want Allen to take charge and trust his players.
