Another of you nonsensical, thoughtless,  useless,  ridiculous posts.  Keep ‘em coming

Jeez man, you getting treated ok at home?? Getting enough to eat?? Sleeping on the couch or something bud?? I'm worried about you because that's just a grouchy way to behave being that we've never even met....I'm sorry I hit a nerve partner

Definitely not a good thing when you’re quarterback is bad under pressure. I mean this is the worst trait any athlete in any sport can have. 

He was always historically great against the blitz the last couple years

Mental pressure. Did you even read the post I was quoting before giving it a negative reaction ?

Because we can't score TDs from inside the 20. We get all the way down there making it look easy, and then get stymied where it counts. When Knox dropped that pass I got the feeling that this game was either going to end in a tie or a loss. I had no hope for us scheming up a TD. I'm guessing Allen felt like had to win it all right there. It was not a good decision but I get where his head was at.

Play calling has been odd, we abandon the run when it was great early in the game and produced 2 tds and could've used it in the second half too and in ot

It is weird. Singletary wasn't able to get anything going in the 2nd half so I guess we just abandoned the run altogether. But then why are Cook and Hines on the team? Every time Cook has touched the ball the past two weeks good things have happened and we just refuse to stick with him. Hines was used exclusively as a decoy today, we didn't design any real plays to take advantage of his speed. Singletary is a decent enough RB but he is NOT a playmaker. This offense needs more playmakers. Cook and Hines give us some juice and I think they both give us excellent potential in the red zone.

It's like they start out great running the ball and then get stuffed 1 or 2 times (even when we have a lead mind you a healthy one even) and just throw the ball every down non stop smh I think the play calling is maybe idiotic and thats a big part of the problem if not Josh has gotten concussion and isn't all there

Josh doesn't look to his sides unless he's scrambling that direction and has to unload it. In each loss, we had 4-5 easy yards that he's refused to use. Do not understand why he's so in love with making a throw that doesn't need to be made. 

On the interceptions no one's even close to open typically, not even close, his Interceptions in the last 2 seasons were typically receivers fault ie bounced off the receivers hands and were tip drill ints, not these ones they're legit passes to the wrong team this isn't ja17 this is mark Sanchez decision making  that's why I think somethings wrong with his noodle

My hypothesis:

 

Brian Daboll is now gone. 

 

Plus he has some new WR that he's not comfortable with so i think he's back to trying to force it into places he would not have . Beasley was his safety blanket he is gone & any time he has had to depend on McKenzie he usually doesn't come through only on the odd reception. 

 

Today he's keying on Diggs 90% of the time he won't even use Knox as much Shakir is someone he doesn't have a feel for yet & he's getting use to Cook but Motor is the only one he truly knows so there are so many new pieces unlike last year plus the fact Dabol isn't in his ear i think it all adds up .

 

Morris the other TE he seemed to be developing some chemistry with him but he doesn't even look his way & he had great hands early on this season . I'm not sure what is going on but Josh is definitely out of the MVP race & the Bills are out of the AFC east race until he gets back in the game .

 

Miami is going to be one hell of a game & i don't see the Bills beating them the way they are playing right now it wouldn't hurt my feeling if Beane went out & got Beasley back but that won't happen he's to proud but that would be a great weapon for Josh to have back .

At the beginning of the season, the passing game went low to high and had a bunch of success.  When they went deep, it was set up by the previous play calls.

 

During the Pittsburgh and KC game, Allen had success forcing the ball deep, but it planted the seeds of some bad habits.  

 

Against the Packers, Jets, and Vikings, there was a shift where Allen's locking onto the deeper throws, abandoning the shorter ones.

 

This is easily fixable with film study and game planning.  Just revisit what worked the first few games.  It's mind boggling that the coaching staff hasn't addressed this by now. 

 

But it's also mind boggling how a defense that plays nickle the entire game can't figure out how to double-team a receiver.

Good take 👏

Something just isn't right with our #17 our boy Blue. To me it all started after the play during the  Green Bay game where Josh tries to run the ball in the end zone down the sideline and is met with a very large DT face mask to face mask. I think Josh has been playing with a concussion since that hit and there was a hit in the jets game where Josh was on his hands and knees shaking his head side to side as well where he seemed to have had his bell rung. Flame away but this isn't how JA17 plays, somethings seriously not right and it reminds me of Trent Edward's after the Wilson hit and I'm scared...........

Don’t buy it

Championship winning QBs usually have to be game managers much more than great play creators.  With Allen, he is our biggest great play creator.  Even today, on 3rd & 11 he runs. & drags 3 defenders for the first down. He evaded a least 2 probable sacks (for most QBs) & turned them into 20+ yard runs. He evaded the rush & completed 2 big passes on 3rd & 15 in the 4th quarter.
 

But, on that last drive I thought he was trying too hard to carry the team across the finish line by himself.  He ran the ball halfway down the field and took good hits on both carries.  He actually did hit Knox in the hands with a pass to the end zone.  However, his poor game management decision led to the game ending int.   
 

I hope coaches focus Josh on game management this week. The (mostly self-imposed) pressure to be the game winning play creator is adversely affecting his performance, in my opinion.

We don't have any signature plays down there. Half our plays are running Singletary straight into the line and praying for a massive hole, the other half is Allen sprinting to the right and praying the defense plays undisciplined. You'd think we would have specific red zone plays drawn up for Cook and Hines and even Knox. The whole "check the ball down all the way to the 10 yard line" strategy would work famously if we also had a top tier red zone offense. Since we don't, defenses have learned they can "bend don't break" us to death. And all the fans see the easy short completions that are there and wonder why we don't take them 100% of the time.

 

I guess my point is that taking those easy completions doesn't automatically win you the game. Allen is forcing the issue because it's the only way we ever get big plays and long TDs from this offense. It would be sweet if those easy completions were to Hines who could gash off 20 yards after the catch just with pure speed. I don't know why we aren't fully utilizing the strengths of our personnel.

Its so crazy. We can move at will and then there's nothing we can do inside the 10.

I think it's play calling, whenever we hit the red zone dorsey just has Allen start throwing it to the ez over and over

It's just odd it's been such a dramatic change, I just wonder if it's a concussion or play calling or both smh 🤦 

It's a combination of both. Also Josh is definitely pressing. The whole world has already anointed the Bills SB winners. Now with injuries and mistakes we're coming back to earth.

Dorsey has been absolutely HORRIBLE in the redzone.  19th in the NFL

I agree the play calls and designs are crap

Injuries have played a huge role especially not having tre,po and Hyde in the backfield that's 3 all pros, teams would be screwed if they were all playing....maybe Josh is cracking under the pressure of being called the nfls best qb etc

I think our team has 0 confidence we can pick up tough yards in a goal to go situation so he is pressing to get the ball into the end zone in the red zone 

 

gotta figure out the run blocking and everything else will fall into place
