Italian Bills Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 So we had a game full of gifts, after all is Christmas time. The bad: - penalties - interceptions - fumble - an Allen off day - Bass’s misses - no Diggs targets - no Cole targets (why Dorsey doesn’t use him more) The good: - run game - defense (but the very first Chicago drive) After all maybe the weather has been a factor with Josh… or maybe not. Or maybe we just approached this game too softly. Anyway we are too much for this Bears team and we won like we were supposed to do, clinching the Division and getting ready for the last two. Merry Christmas Bills brothers. 7 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've learned that is the expectation of the fans. Offense must score on every drive and the defense must force punts/turnovers on every drive. The expectation is to literally do what no team in the league has ever done before, and anything less is a failure. You definitely see who watches only the Bills play vs. who watches the entire league play. 5 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BBills_88 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I feel Dabol had a leash on Allen that required him to play within the offense, by taking what the defense is giving and be methodical. Dorsey is go do your thing & go sling it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How about this: -win the turnover battle -play fundamentally sound (e.g. tackling, penalties, STs) -get your best players involved early & often on offense 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

947 Posted December 24, 2022 Share Posted December 24, 2022 I was at the game, the wind was absolutely brutal. There was a sideline coat from the Bills that blew onto the field during a timeout, a guy ran out after it, and it blew all the way to the Bears sideline in less than 10 seconds. There were empty gatorade cups blowing all the way across the field throughout the game. I think that probably affected Josh's passes, but both were still bad decisions considering the conditions. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know more about football than you, but I’m not gonna get into that. I know enough to know Davis catches the ball with bad technique, was handed the job with no competition, and all of a sudden doesn’t have sideline awareness. It’s ok to criticize our player, but if you want to pretend there aren’t issues, then whatever I guess. 3 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JohnNord Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Not sure if the problem is Josh or the play designs but it seems like the pass plays take too long to develop. Josh should just dump off a few passes to Beasley or Cook short. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His numbers are comparable to most #2’s in the league. He’s not a 1b player at this point but still a solid player. Who you gonna replace him with? KC have something better? Ari’ serious question, there’s Kelce and depending on the week a couple other players. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I’m curious. Does this happen with Chief’s fans? Do they nitpick (maybe deservedly) all the negatives of their team and worry incessantly? I’m not sure, maybe other elite teams have no obvious issues.

Orlando Tim Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 My only concern from today is that Josh does not do well with intermittent wind, but I don't think anyone else in the league does either. Bears knew that Fields couldn't be trusted to throw much but he seemed not to push the ball much. We played poorly by our standards and won by three TDs on the road, everything else is details.

It’s definitely a need after this season unless they are planning on extending Davis after next year. At this point, I think it makes more sense to draft someone this year and develop them and have them compete with Davis next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALLEN1QB Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Josh had a bunch of bone headed throws today. Better get his head right or will be 1 and done in playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shemp Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 (edited) Seems like the worse the team, the more time Josh thinks he has and the longer he takes to make decisions. Wrong. Each game is different and has different combinations of variables. The elements might take over like in this game, making passing close to impossible... Josh's elbow...The other teams' pass rush might be great even though the record is bad... Our O-line might be depleted either before or during the game... The running game might be working great...It all depends on the situation. Just go back to the LA Rams game and start slinging it fast again and mix in the runs as we now have a running game, even without Josh. He's used to doing it all. He doesn't have to anymore. The Bills have a balanced attack. Edited December 25, 2022 by Blah Blah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's really, really hard to beat this team. Good teams need us to not play well, give the game away, turn it over and then they still are forced to do a bunch of miraculous stuff to win on the last possession by 3 points or less.

BuffaloBillsGospel2014 Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 We didn't play our best football today and we still won the game decisively, I'm not sure what people are expecting, a blow out every game? Players and coaches are playing for jobs this late in the season so thinking we're going to cake walk our way in is just not a reality. I'm expecting a dog fight like always against the bengals and have us winning that game. Also those bashing Gabe Davis, I realize he's at the top in the NFL in drops which sucks for him but he is far from a guy I want replaced right now. he is 26th in the league in yards with 797 and tied with many for 10th in the league with 7 TD's , he's also top portion of the league with a 17.9 yards per catch average. Those aren't pedestrian numbers and seems to be clutch in the playoffs imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s not about criticizing Gabe Davis you’re right he’s not having a great year It’s the fact that you can’t point out anything positive about a 12 and three team and you do it consistently every week 48 minutes ago, ALLEN1QB said: Josh had a bunch of bone headed throws today. Better get his head right or will be 1 and done in playoffs. serious question do you really think that Josh Allen given past performance is going to lay an egg in the playoffs? Literally pretty much every year he has been fantastic What I wanna see is, do they build off of having to hundred yard rushers in this game Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beast Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 I hear from some how bad the Bills looked. They out-gained their opponent, on the road, by over 200 yards and doubled the Bears yardage output and won by 22. That was a good win. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We we theoretically improved our team going into this season and in which we also came out of the gates hot. So it seems like reasonable expectations considering the circumstances.
