We hadn’t seen postseason unstoppable Josh Allen yet. It was pretty ugly, but we didn’t have the lofty expectations for him. They were high.. like MVP high, but not unstoppable force high. Same goes for the team. There were definitely games at this time last year where we all agreed Josh was losing us games with his off play. I don’t ever remember him literally throwing to opposing teams with frequency though. There’s picks and then there’s picks. Cousins throwing a high pick to Benford happens. Cousins throwing directly to Dane Jackson doesn’t. And Josh has done that like 3 games straight.

It feels hopeless because the AFC East is stronger this year and our defense is on the midst of an injury crisis so cannot bail him out. In truth, Josh played better today than he did in his slump games in 2021. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Titans game, Colts game, bucs game, pats wind game etc. They'll get it corrected. I'd rather this happen now than with 3 weeks left in the season Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd rather this happen now than with 3 weeks left in the season The Bucs game is probably similar to today - one good half, one poor half, heartbreak in overtime. Chuck in a similarity to the Titans game in as far as the botched final play. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He actually played better today overall than he did in either of those games. Then we had his performance against the Falcons, which closely reflected what happened last week and that was week seventeen. He was certainly better today, even at not 100%. But, bad picks, and the fumble. Not good. I think that JA17 is great, make no mistake. But the only chance they have is if he gets it together.

Yeah I can’t figure it out at all. 🙄 You think that the coaching staff is encouraging Allen to take hits from LBs and Safeties when he runs? They promote the throws into double coverage when he has people running open in the flat too? Allen is immune to criticism.. I see that now. The poor throws, decisions and fumbles happened because he needs help? Hard to help a QB when he has mental lapses and throws directly to the other team multiple times.

SCBills Posted November 14, 2022 Author Share Posted November 14, 2022 5 minutes ago, BullBuchanan said: What was ugly about Allen's game today? Until the last play he was 29/42, 69% (giggity), 1 TD- 1 INT 330 yards passing and 6 carries for 84 yards. That should be considered a very good game by anyone and he did all of that with a throwing arm injury. I thought Allen was fantastic today. If we finish off that drive, he’s back to MVP favorite and everyone is ball washing him for his performance in the game of the year. He didn’t though. He made the fatal mistake that he’s been making for ten quarters now. Not being patient, hyper-aggressive, and end result being not just a pick … but a pick that has you dumbfounded as to what he was even looking at. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just pointing out that, even with those individual errors, he was far better today than in the slump games last year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted November 14, 2022 Share Posted November 14, 2022 I can’t imagine being Allen and having people worship him likes he’s some god or something, it’s weird. One second he’s some unknown QB from Firebaugh, the next second he’s the top story on every major News outlet. That’s enough to screw with anyones head. I can’t imagine. I think Allen’s problem is that there’s a lot of pressure on him, he’s THE guy and he knows it. The best thing McD and co can do is to build a stellar team around him to lessen the load. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh, and not throwing to wide open guys to keep the play running; I think that Allen is great, don't get me wrong, but sometimes you have to take what the game gives you. Doing so doesn't make him Trent Edwards, not by a long shot. Lots of other blame to go around. Giving up 3rd and longs on defense, questionable play calling on O, not taking the FG, and so on.

I gave you two shots and you're still fixated on the completely wrong thing. Allen did everything he needed to do to win today and then his defense cost him the game and he took them to overtime anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Throw in a fumble at his own goal line that was recovered by the Vikings for a TD at the end of the 4th QTR today. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
