Only one game, but it puts back doubt in him until he reverts back to the form of last season. I am not overly concerned, I usually optimistic when it concerns the Bills as are most of the old faithful of bills fans. So with an optimistic view here are possible reasons that would make this loss a chess move versus checkers move. The Bills and Josh both benefitted by other teams knowing that no QB can fix accuracy, until that was no longer true. So Josh is scary to other teams cause they don't know where it is that his ceiling is reached. Only ones that have some inkling are those that he's playing with at practices. The coaches and teammates, Let the doubts creep in the opponents heads, see Josh is not accurate as far all..... Losing to Pittsburg is not gonna make the season either way and why show anything to an afc rival that might be met in playoffs. (I know playing extremely long game with this reasoning but still possible - Bills legit have the talent to be in mix for AFC champs as do the Steelers). Knowing Dawkins isn't up to his normal standards against a good defensive team you can't put all that on the rookie Brown just to have the 1-0 which is nice but no even close to being important. I like the Bills chances against their divisional foes alot better than Pittsburgh's. So while head to head tie goes to pitt I think we may edge them out for conference record at end of year.

We almost never see Allen take a quick 3 step drop, hit the top and release immediately to a WR on a slant, in, etc. When the run game doesn’t work we really struggle to either design or execute (unsure which it is) an efficient counter to help make up for it.

I am not sure exactly what is being said here, but did you just suggest that the Bills may have been holding back, not wanting to show something to Pittsburgh? If so... no. Just no. That is a terrible wishful thinking take that always pops up after losses. That does not happen in a game like this. Awful take. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Not at the table Karlos Posted September 13, 2021 Share Posted September 13, 2021 Anyone remember when the Bills were looking for a sports psychologist after his rookie year? I think there was a thread here on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Giuseppe Tognarelli Posted September 14, 2021 Author Share Posted September 14, 2021 (edited) Eric Wood was on Schopp/Bulldog yesterday and One Bills Live today talking about Josh's struggles with this. Tasker also said today he thinks the crowd and expectations got into Josh's head. Edited September 14, 2021 by Giuseppe Tognarelli Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is QBs have bad days, people have bad days at work, even preachers have bad days. Move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
