I'm not saying he was the problem, I'm saying there were a handful of plays where he could have made a better decision that may have been enough to win the game for the Bills.  Everything isn't black and white...except I guess on this forum.

I'm as big an Allen critic as anyone.  He was absolutely not the problem tonight. In fact, he's the reason the game wasn't a blowout. He matched drive for drive all night, completing critical pass after critical pass.

The thing is with a game like this, if we win there at the end everyone is positive about the game Josh and Beasley etc had, but with coming up just short there will be a lot of fans going OTT in the negativity.

 

I don't feel terrible with that loss. I'm disappointed and drained but Josh had some great plays and the Titans got really lucky with a lot of things that just went their way. Henry was the whole offense for them and he was due a great game against us, I had a feeling he would with all the talk of how McD had always kept him in check.

 

Great teams use this stuff as motivation and learn from it. Hopefully we come out of the bye week angry rather than flat and put some teams away. And if we play the Titans again in the playoffs the defense steps up and learns from their mistakes.

 

I'm not usually a glass is half full guy but today I'm leaning that way

The Titans secondary was decimated with injuries. We had our shot and got stopped, take the FG and the 50/50 chance for the win. It felt like the Titans saw that sneak coming a mile away. 

The Bills defense seemed to be worn out, so may have had something to do with that decision.

We're a top 2 team in the league. We're a Super Bowl team. And we're going to the Super Bowl as long as we don't play at Tennessee in the championship game

I think we're better and would beat them in a rematch. It took a virtual act of god for Titans to win tonight.

Wrong.  Josh played his balls off and the defense let the team down.

Didn't say josh didn't play his balls off or that the D was great, they were terrible and lost us the game. I meant any other day josh probably the hits the 3 wide open tds he missed tonight, and he carries the terrible defense to a win, but he just happened to miss them and they all went for fgs or no points.

Defense decided to suck in the 2nd half. I would have kicked the FG to go to OT, but if they win the toss they probably just march down the field and score on us. 

 

See, I think that's defeatist thinking.  There's 50-50 odds they lose the toss, and we go right down the field and score on them. 

If they win the toss,  there's some odds the Bills D gets its collective act together and gets a stop.

 

But I do understand the opposite POV that not going for it is defeatist thinking.

No one is perfect either. Lol

All I know is if you score 31 points, 34 if you kick the chip shot FG you should win the game considering you supposedly have the top defense in the league.

 

I know Henry's a handful and I expected him to have a big game but when is this team gonna stop making Tannehill look like Joe Montana? He's the most sacked QB in the league and we couldn't get him once? NOT ONCE!!!

 

But please go ahead and blame the guy that went 35/47 for 353 and 3 TD's

I blame the coaching.  We only rushed 4 on passing plays, but didn’t have our best pass rushers out there.  Why is Zimmer playing so much on passing downs.  

I guess you missed the success Henry was having up the gut. No, you don’t rush the passer, you stuff the interior. Open your eyes and think about it for a minute.

Inside two minutes, should have been an automatic review by the refs.

Shoulda have been more screaming at the refs by coach to get them to look at it atleast, everything seemed rushed when they could have used that extra time to come up with a better sneak

Good post! We'll be fine if we learn from this loss.

I think its more about you criticizing the one guy who kept the Bills in the game that makes people think youre being insane.   Not the defense who gave up 150 yards rushing, couldnt sniff Tannehills jock on their pass rush or get enough depth in their drops to stop crossing patterns.  Not the RT who couldnt block or the backup linebacker who had an 80 yard holding penalty.  But the guy who threw for 353 yards and three tds.

 

You may be reaching.

I haven't even checked. The mere idea that anyone could be blaming Allen is preposterous.

 

That 3rd down run? That dude will ALWAYS be my QB.  Legend.
