Mango Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 23 minutes ago, Coach Tuesday said: Lol they literally gave him no help and asked him to carry the entire team on his back and he almost did it. I think Josh and Dorsey have some deficiencies that make each other worse. I think they both love low percentage throws and Josh being good at them means they take a lot of shots at them. On top of that I think Josh probably needs to be coached hard. Otherwise we have a season like this with a lot of 3rd and longs and an offense that just feels like a lot of work. Josh misses Daboll. It isn’t a regression, him and Dorsey are just cowboys out there. I think the weapons are “OK”. They could be worse. I think Shakir is going to be a big player next year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Bills Fan Posted January 22, 2023 Share Posted January 22, 2023 2 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: Josh was dreadful tonight and there have been too many off days in 2022. But I give him a pass, largely because the protection is abject. I think it has got in his head as well. As the year has gone on I have seen him dropping his eyes to the rush too much, playing too much backyard football (at times through necessity) and making too many mistakes. So has Josh "regressed"? I don't know. But he is getting no help. Agree. Little wr help, o-line struggles, lack of creativity from oc , poor wr unit, need cole to come back to play the slot, need a good back up te. Put all on Allen to do something. That wears down on a player having to do everything. @BADOLBILZ was right from draft till now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Funny, Burrow's 2nd string OL didn't look so bad against our D-line. How'd we do stopping the run today ? Chase/Higgins/Mixon > Diggs/Davis/Singletary or Cook Kelce > Knox Mahomes had Tyreek.

Mixon can be a factor. They get the ball out quick. Burrow played better lately. But the 2 and 3 spots are always juggling. Mahomes is the clear # 1.

Freak-O Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s still somewhat bothered by the elbow injury. He is the one player on the team I’m not worried about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cgg716 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Look at what’s around him. He’s holding up a very weak roster and poor coaching across the board.

Nextmanup Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 7 minutes ago, Einstein said: This isn’t a one game issue. Allen hasn’t looked like 2020 or 2021 Allen all season. That's not really true though. He looked great when we annihilated Tennessee early in the year, and there was a game a few weeks ago when he put the whole damned team on his back. I honestly can't remember which one right now! But has he had a general regression this year on aggregate? YES! Is that because of the new OC? Can that be improved next year with a new OC? Or more time with Dorsey? I think he misses a lot of open receivers, but it's hard to tell watching on TV. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 This is just my impression. IMO Allen is getting a bit too into his own press clippings. Remember "if I don't love it we don't run it?" Difference is that was under Daboll, who has a handful of SB rings and a national championship ring. At the end of the day Daboll figured out how to have this offense clicking last postseason. Now we're deferring to Allen picking the OC he wants because they are so similar. Both are go go go run through a wall types and it accentuates Allen's worst tendencies. They need an OC who will help Allen maximize his talent. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

finn Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Why not blame it all on Billy Buffalo? You don't blame Spencer ("Look out!") Brown, Roger ("Ole!") Saffold, or "Drops" Davis, or the mauled defense. Instead, you blame the one truly elite player the team has. Why didn't he escape the three DEs in his face--again--and catch the perfect ball he put in Davis chest? He's regressed! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wayne Cubed Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Funny take this. They literally gave him no help and he still carried this team to 13-3. He had 1 weapon and no OL to protect him. It got so bad with his weapons they went to guys who were out of the NFL. Nah sorry, the FO failed this team. Beane hasn’t drafted a player of note, in 4 drafts. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 3 minutes ago, Freak-O said: It wouldn’t surprise me if he’s still somewhat bothered by the elbow injury. It has been evident since the Vikings game that his elbow injury is affecting his accuracy on short and intermediate throws. The bigger issue in our offense is it's too boom or bust. Either we hit a 40+ yard pass play or we don't have a drive. There are zero gimme plays in this offense which is really just unacceptable. So little margin for error so every drop or missed pass is accentuated. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I went into the game saying if the Bills didn’t turn it over they would win, possibly with ease. We got our ass kicked anyway.

Structure is good and needed imo, and that goes with Dorsey as well. He needs to be able to scheme guys open sometimes, I mean watch the tape of our offense even compared to the Lions it's night and day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KDIGGZ Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Josh wants to do crazy things. When you have a kid that acts out, he needs more discipline and structure.

UKBillFan Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Josh was not the problem today, but he has been an issue on and off throughout the season.

nedboy7 Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 I had to keep rewinding plays cause I couldn't figure out who was letting defenders literally run unobstructed towards Josh. And then I was wondering how we did not call plays against this tsunami of defenders. Edmunds should not even be mentioned when discussing what was wrong with that game.

thenorthremembers Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 The problem with the Bills and Allen, especially now that Daboll is gone, is so much of what the Bills do well is Josh playing off script. HIs best plays come once the play is over and the scrambling starts. It puts way too much pressure on the skill players and offensive and isnt sustainable. He is the second best QB in the league currently, but I wouldnt say he is anywhere close to Mahomes. He is in serious danger of having Philip Rivers career. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 All of the "Josh Allen has regressed" talk is absolutely ret*rded. He was 2nd in total yards and total TD's this year. Without him we'd be lucky to win 5 games. He IS the offense. Fix the OL and watch how much EVERYTHING changes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tulsabillsfanz Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Every single QB in the NFL will “regress” when he’s constantly under pressure. We absolutely need to spend our $ & first round picks getting a better OL. 2nd round picks on WR. Get Von Miller to recruit defensive free agents. BTW, we don’t need to draft the tallest OLs, we need to draft the meanest, toughest OLs. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ngbills Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Josh is a good athlete. He needs good coaching to bring out the best qb in him. Instead he has a college coach coaching playing him like a college qb. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFunPolice Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 Josh needs a coach who can help him calm down and take a profit on offense. Keep those chains moving. Designing an actual running game would be a huge plus. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lionel Hutz Posted January 23, 2023 Share Posted January 23, 2023 It seems like a lot want to excuse Allen’s play on the protection. Sure, it wasn’t great but even then Josh didn’t have a great game. He was superhuman at the end of last season and to start this year but he hasn’t been anywhere close to the same recently. He’s still the best QB we’ve ever had but I think this season has shown that we can’t just rely on him to bail us out of games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
