Turk71 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 What was Allen doing when he threw the ball back like it was end of game razzle dazzle? That was bizarre. Luckily it didn't hurt em. Bills played well enough to win imo but the offensive mindset is not interested in scoring more than 20. Just get the lead and hang on, got em right where they want em.

buffalobillswin Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 How about that missed block on that Allen sweep in overtime? If we pick that safety up Allen picks up 15 yards easy. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That doesn’t erase epically bad sacks on two consecutive downs, and his attempt at a lateral to Knox. You are correct, he atoned, but champion QB’s don’t make that many major mental errors in one game. I’m not saying he’s a bust, just saying we are a long way from having a championship contending QB. Again, calling bull####. First full season as a starter, RAW out of college. He's WAY ahead of where anyone who knows anything thought he'd be. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was not the design of the play. The play was a roll left throw to the side lines 15 yards down field or short middle. Both were covered. Last option was the long heave down field.

steven50 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Bottom line is you dont win NFL games in the modern era scoring 1 touchdown. A lot of people will predictably blame this or that player or this or that play but the truth is we dont dial up a quick strike throws when needed and plays called require way to much time to develop at critical junctures of the game. JJ watt is a great player. JJ watt is going to get your quarterback if you play against him. I dont care who your tackle is your not going to keep him contained all game. The way to minimize that is to stop calling plays that take all afternoon to develop. Pound for pound with the talent we have on the team we should have won today. Offensive coaching let us down. I for one will not be shedding any tears if Brian Daboll lands a spot coaching another team next year. Edited January 5, 2020 by steven50 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Somehow we crapped the bed completely. Our offense was yet again useless for most of the game. Our QB struggled with the basics and showed an extreme lack of awareness in crucial situations. The defenses wilted late, although Watson was simply spectacular. He put his team on his shoulders and willed them to victory. Today’s NFL is all about stars. TBD doesn’t like hearing this, but we saw Watson carry his team to places Allen can’t at this time. I really like Allen, and think he’s in the top half of AFC QB’s, but he’s not there yet.

bobobonators Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 (edited) Such a frustrating game. I have same gripes as everyone else, nothing new: 1. Singletary never seems to get enough touches. 2. 3rd and 18 3. Missed tackles 4. missed sack in OT 5. missed block in OT where Allen couldve ran down the field easily into fg range. 6. lack of urgency to score a TD at end of 1st half. Seemed content with a FG. 7. Brown being unable to drag his feet in the 1st half on that play that woulda put the ball inside the 5yd line - Come on brown! we didnt deserve to win - thats that.

Next season looks to be a brighter one. Yep. Bitterly disappointed and pissed off and not wanting to face a long off season (optimistic for next year).

sven233 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 It was a long time ago but, as mentioned, this feeling is the same one I had 30 years ago after watching Ronnie Harmon drop that TD pass in the playoffs. Hopefully the sustained success that followed that season will follow this one. That 89 team was young and talented and you could see good things coming. This team has a lot of young talent as well. Still need a lot more play makers on the offensive side of the ball, though. Just so frustrating. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jrober38 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Allen's lack of situational awareness is staggering. How many times has he taken a sack or grounded the ball knocking us out of field goal range this year? 5? Maybe 6 times? His football IQ is incredibly low. Lateraling the ball with over a minute left, searching for a field goal was one of the dumbest things I've ever seen from a QB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsatlastin2018 Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 In order... 1) I’ve seen the last of Dumball! Bring in a real OC, who doesn’t pu$$y out, when your team is standing on the other’s throat! If I know the: 2-6 < 20 Points of Offense 8-0 > 20.. then an OC sure as shite knows it! To lose up 16-0 late in the 3rd. is inexcusable! 2) A new Punter. Guys kick balls EVERY day on the planet! Surely, the Bills can find one or 3 anywhere! 3) 9 Picks & 90 Mill better get you a pretty decent 6’4 WR & TE, both of whom can catch. 4) When it’s 3rd. & 18 or longer... you BLITZ from Game 1 on...ALWAYS! 5) The QB is still a work in progress. Sometimes, he throws darts across his body. Sometimes, he can’t hit a barn at 20 yards out. Sometimes, he runs fabulous long gains. Sometimes, he stumbles, bumbles and mostly- fumbles his way, like a College Freshman! FINAL test next year, to see him develop with a decent OC & WRs. 6) An Off Season Game Time Mgt. course for McClapper, including what to do at the 2MW!! And what, absolutely not to do. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's no reason Allen can't be a star. His highlight reel is amazing. Unfortunately, most of what happens in between the highlights isn't anywhere close to good enough. Week in and week out he makes the hard throws look easy and the easy ones look hard. He's two full years into his career, and we still have a guy who can't complete passes to open receivers when they're uncovered (see 3rd down on their 45 yard line when he threw the ball at Williams feet when any pickup of yardage would have presented an opportunity to kick a field goal). 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Low Positive Posted January 5, 2020 Share Posted January 5, 2020 Now that I've had a chance to cool off a bit, I agree with all the things mentioned by reasonable posters. What i will add is that this team doesn't quit. Most Bills teams of the 2000's quit after that Allen sack late in the 4th. Also, the play that won the game for the Texans was just dumb luck. Neal had Watson sacked and Milano knocked him back on his feet. I would be as upset as other on here, but I decided about a decade ago that I won't let the actions of other grown men decide my mental state. 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
