He singlehandedly let them back into the game down 27-0 with 3 terrible INTs. Mahomes has led the NFL in dropped interceptions over the past 3 years as well. Burrow against the Steelers with 4 INTs? Let's stop pretending these other QBs play mistake free football. No. The issue is Mahomes or Burrow seem to have a hideous game and move on. Josh’s errors seem to permeate across a run. Maybe fewer in a single game but they build up across a number. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the narrative that he can do no wrong and is constantly let down by everyone around him is false. Agree to an extent. I definitely think that out of Mahomes, Burrow and himself he has the worst offense to play with and the weakest OL. But he doesn’t help himself. My basic take is he’s physically the best QB in the league but, mentality wise, he trails behind those two. And that’s why it’s irritating - he has it all but he can’t quite compute how to get the best out of himself more often than not. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are gonna score their points. Bills had the #6, #1, and #2 defenses in the NFL and got smoked all three times in the playoffs against elite offenses. Eagles had the 3rd most sacks in NFL history next to 84 and 85 Bears and got 0 last night. 2nd best D in the NFL, allowed 38 points(31 if you don't count the Defensive TD by KC). KC moved the ball and scored at will on every possession in the 2nd half. Defense only has to be around league average to be good enough. Bills need to allocate 90% of resources to offensive line and offensive weapons. The rules are simply tilted too far in the offenses favor for it to matter with defense, unless your DLine can maul the other team's OLine and usually that isn't going to happen unless multiple starters are out. The old adage "Defense wins Championships" is a thing of the past and no longer relevant in today's NFL. Between rules changes and offensive schemes that take advantage of them, offenses have the clear advantage now. The league wants to see points scored and lots of them. I don't even know if the 85 Bears D would be able to do much to stop the high-powered offenses of today. The defensive-minded dinosaurs need to understand this, or they will just become fossils of a bygone era. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UKBillFan Posted February 13, 2023 Share Posted February 13, 2023 I realise I’m showing a split personality over Josh so to try and clear things up - he’s low in the list of things that are wrong with this team but he has issues which needs to be sorted out. People blame Dorsey for schemes but there have been several occasions where players have been open and Josh has overlooked them. For a guy with his strength he has a surprising issue holding on to the ball, with too many fumbles against his name. He has a disposition for the big play which over-rides common sense. But he has no little to no protection from his O Line and, outside of Diggs, our wide receivers aren’t in the same league as the Bengals and Kelce and Pacheco are or have shown more to their play than Knox and Cook, both who I rate. He has a head coach who is a DC at heart, and has focused the building of the roster on that side of the ball, without learning the lessons of Green Bay. Recalibrate the O Line and get a proper WR2 and we’d see an improvement in our offensive play, about that I have no doubt. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If a defense can force a mistake and generate a turnover, that's really all you need to win now because you will just outscore them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying that Brett Favre had no right to sit there and say "man I wish I got help like Brady did" when Brady was a much better QB. If Josh Allen is a first ballot HoFer, and doesn't ever win a SB, I won't be happy. If he wins one, he could steal $60M annually from the Bills and show up to camp 300 lbs and I would still love him. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Favre was a 3 time NFL MVP in 3 straight years between 1995-1997, are you claiming the voting was rigged or something. C'mon man, let's stop pretending he wasn't among the best of his time. This sounds really revisionist. Edited February 13, 2023 by Big Turk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
