The primary cause of all of our losses, overwhelmingly, is poor performance or not enough good performance from Josh Allen.

 

Really, all of our losses are on Josh?

 

So in the Pats game you would have liked him to both throw and catch, because he was let down by his receivers big time. 

 

And in the Colts / Titans game you want him to play iron man football and help the defense stop the run?

 

You said the poll was too simple, but blaming Josh's performances for all the losses is also an overly simplistic take.

It's honestly hard to say, Coaching could have been better in every loss obviously. 

 

Pats game was the most recent, so we will go there. Defense played well enough but I felt we should have thrown more early. Though, at the same time if Diggs catches that TD or Knox catches that first down that was in his hands/chest we are talking about a different outcome and how our team is tough and grunted out a victory. 

 

Everything is magnified by wins and losses, lose and the negative seems huge, win and the positive seems huge.

 

If the Patriots lose BB would have been lambasted for not letting Mac Jones have a chance to try, instead he won and he's a genius. Go figure.

Last I looked, OL/DL and Rb are all players. So you are saying the other teams roster was stronger overall than our roster. 

I wouldn't say they were stronger overall. Where the bills are weak, it's the strength of those teams. Its about the match up.

Maybe it is semantics but the team with the  better roster for the matchup has the better roster as it relates to that game.

This poll needs more choices

 

Steelers: ***** gameplan and got worked by the Dline.  Allen sucked

 

Titans: Josh slipped

 

Colts: Bills quit

 

Pats: Josh missed many open reads 

 

 

Its almost like you watched the game and TV and want to pretend the wind wasn't a factor.

So what was the problem?

Self-inflicted wounds.  Penalties.  Dropped balls.  Poor execution.  We turned the ball over against the Colts...but we don't match up well against them.  They are a much more physical team and out-muscled us at the line of scrimmage.

I would add self-inflicted mistakes at critical times. No one on this team plays their best ball at goal to go or winning time.

 

I think this is related to mine.

 

Players spent all off season smoking press clippings and tweets saying we were going to roll through the season and win the SB and believed it.

Josh Allen is great. He has insufficient weapons at WR and RB, and not enough blocking. 

It’s a shame too because the kid is a super talent. 

 

Before the season I felt like the Bills had a top 5 QB, a top 5 coach, and a top 10 roster.  I thought it was a formula for a SB trip. 

My assessment now is the the Bill have a top 5 QB, the 10th best coach and NFL average rest of roster.  Not sure that is a formula for a SB run.

You mean the Buffalo Bills? Lol
