If Gilliam does what he’s supposed to on that ply and actually try to block his guy McKenzie gets in If they had kicked the point they would have been up 9 instead of 8 at the end. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had a rough first quarter, but I thought he managed the game nicely. Didn’t throw a pick, moved the chains when needed, and let the backs do their thing. Allen doesn’t need to put up Madden numbers to have a decent game. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UKBillFan Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 (edited) I swear more people are hating on Josh now than last week. Last week he cost us the game. This week, through maturity and adjustments, he helped us win it.

This is now 4 games where the bills have not looked very good at all. Do you watch other teams. Do the chiefs have stretched like this? Do you ever watch other games? Ravens barely got by the Panthers. Giants lost, at home, to the Lions. Jets and Pats would have ended 3-3 if not for a punt return TD. Eagles were losing all game to the Colts. Those incredible Vikings are losing. 1 2 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better to miss a 2 pt when it's not absolutely necessary at the time you go for it. It was unnecessary at that stage of the game. Same as last week. If he just took the points and kicked the FG Josh would have been playing for the win instead of the tie at the end of regulation 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe 10-0. It's not capitulation to take the points. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally agree - People kept saying all week "no heroball Josh" and "run the damn ball" and then when we do just that, there are some that are still displeased. Games was not perfect by any stretch, but tons of positives and the final score makes the game look closer than it was Edited November 20, 2022 by TheWei44 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I'm not blind to the fact that this is, in fact, a very flawed team that's been winning despite their flaws since week 5 or so What are other teams if this team is "very flawed" leading the NFL in offense, 2nd in scoring O, top 10 on D and top 5 in scoring D? Get a clue. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is terrible, of course. Outside of the GDT context, I don't really see people hating on Josh in this thread. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes the Chiefs do have stretches like this-go look at their scores, they have several close games and “ugly” wins.

WotAGuy Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 I thought the Bills showed a lot of character and poise in weathering a difficult first period. They dominated after that. Given the injuries and logistical nightmare they endured, it was a really important win. Josh seems to be getting a little swagger back later in the game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There weren’t big play TDs and then we almost blew it at the end with soft d and bad execution thats what upsets people - I saw a slow start and once we woke up kind of controlled it. Refs were getting in the way also Edited November 20, 2022 by mikemac2001 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was still the third quarter, so who knows what the points situation is going to be like at the end of the game. It's hard to predict, as you can see by how it turned out.

Taking the point would have made it a two score game at the end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wjag Posted November 20, 2022 Share Posted November 20, 2022 14 minutes ago, WotAGuy said: McD needs to ramp back the aggressiveness. Going for two that early in the game was a mistake. If they just kick the point Cleveland has no chance to win at the end. Take the easy points; Josh isn’t playing with a lot of confidence at this point. I more times than not disagree with the 2 point tries. This game included. I think coaches leave points on the field way too early in the game. This one included.
