Billz4ever Posted November 13, 2022 Share Posted November 13, 2022 (edited) 38 minutes ago, cgg716 said: To begin, the last throw by Allen is an absolutely inexcusable play, no doubt. But it’s one play versus a host of others. Vikings converted 3 4th downs, one 3rd and 9, and got a PI call on a 2nd and 22. Yes, they got the goaline stop, but even that put the offense in a position it never should have been in. This doesn’t mean Allen is blameless. But between 13 seconds, hail Murray, the HOU wild card. A 3rd and 22 in Miami this year, and routinely getting the ball run down their throats, including last week vs NYJ. How many times before we admit that this D and it’s coaches just plain suck 3 turnovers by Josh. How is this not on him? 2 INTs and the fumbled exchange in our EZ. Josh has looked like young Josh ever since this team has come back from the bye. Making bad decisions and forcing balls into coverage. Do the coaches need to take some responsibility for the poor play? Sure they do, but they aren't the ones forcing the ball into coverage when the shorter routes are open. He has to own that and learn to take what the Defense is giving him. This game was ours to win. The D held them to a FG and we were marching with plenty of time. Josh, again, forced the ball when it was completely unnecessary. Edited November 13, 2022 by Billz4ever Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Today, it's 27-10, and the D gets roasted. He made the inexcusable throw yes, but in a situation he never should have been in Not 1 throw but 2 inexcusable throws and the dropped fumble in the endzone. Coaching? You guys are the worst fans in the world, you have no idea what is and isn’t a good coach, McDermott is better the Marv Levy winning percentage. So let’s fire the beat coach the Bills have ver had. Stupid and more stupid, with the fans calling for coaching changes we deserve to be in last place again for the next 20 years. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Look the D didn’t have their most consistent day and Jefferson got his, as he does pretty much every week, and given that we had two corners out almost guaranteed JJ was going to be a factor. the worst play of the day by the defense, which you don’t even mention, was the 81 yard run by Cook. But the defense made stops when they had to to give Allen a chance to win. Twice. Sorry I will not scapegoat the defense today. It’s on Allen. I thought he was scapegoating the coaching staff!

Singletary leaks out late.. but unless the concept was for Allen to take the middle of the field and run if nothings there, I don’t get it. This offense is obsessively aggressive and it doesn’t help Allen when he needs someone to help him see the field and not just the end zone. Counterpoint, someone could be crossing wide open right now 5 yards away and 50/50 he still throws that. I wonder if the concept was to clear out the field for Allen to run, if possible. That’s been one of our most effective plays…..have Josh avoid the rush and run for a first down. He averaged 14 yards per rush today!

But, he did have 2 big mistakes later in the game, whiffing on Dalvin Cook at the line of scrimmage and unnecessarily interfering with Jefferson on a 2nd & 22 pass in OT. I agree the salary cap limits how much high level depth a team can have. We’re playing a lot of inexperienced DBs right now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Coaches made the decision to not kick the fg and go for it. Coaches called a sneak on the 1 foot line.

Im much more willing to blame McD for not kicking the field goal to go up 20(?) and not doubling Jefferson, than blaming Dorsey for not continuing to run the ball when it wasn’t working. I get not running because it’s not working, but who do you blame for the last 3 years not being able to run the ball consistent. And on top of that our oline gets blown up way to much even if Allen doesn’t fumble no way he makes it out of the end zone. Reminds me of the Titans game.

Ethan in Cleveland Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 Like it or not Allen lost the game twice. If he doesn't fumble a snap the Bills win. If he doesn't throw that horrible INT the worst outcome is a tie. Dorsey was horrible again but this loss as was the Jets loss is mostly on Allen. He has to play better. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is not a good game day coach, that much should be obvious to everyone by now. My instinct is to take the fg here too but I am pretty sure there is Pwin data at that point they must be looking at. I would like to understand that data and decision making better. I think if you assume they other team starts at the 7 yard line it helps the case to go for it. Can’t have the int and run back. similar to how the bills got the int In The endZone in Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And then the roof collapses. I still have faith in Josh that he will bring a SB to Buffalo if not this year, soon.
