Never thought I'd see a Josh Allen lead team on the outside looking in

Even the Jets are ahead of us in the hunt.  I said this game was practically a must win.  I also said if the Bills lost this game a WC is unlikely and the Bills would need to win the division to make the playoffs.  There is zero room for error now and we are going to need help.  We lose the head to head against a wild card competitor.  We have too many conference losses against other teams in the hunt.  Buffalo is likely going to have to win out or lose maybe one and get some help.

Yes I know 4 of those teams are from the same division and they will somewhat beat each other up, but we still have no room for error.

We control our own destiny for a playoff spot (as do the Dolphins). We don't need help.

Wasn’t this the case in 2021 after the wind game? Wasn’t Allen 7-6 outside looking in. Suppose we go 2-2 next 4, same record same situation. 


It felt different though. The vibe of this team has changed dramatically. It’s way more tight, serious, flat, and they look like they’re just not having fun anymore. 
 

And there is obviously something wrong with this offense.

The offense was bogged down in 2021. The team was 7-6. The difference is Miami, and the Jets are better than 2021. On the bright side the Bills have a better running back Cook > Singletary, and tight end Kincaid > Knox. The issue is the defense is banged up. Our starting field position is worse and our defense is being drove on resulting in zero margin for error for the O to operate. All the more reason for the offense to play uptempo and play more aggressive.

It really didn’t though. It was pretty doom and gloom leading up to that Buccaneers loss. We went embarrassing loss to the Jags, killed the jets, got demolished by the colts, killed the saints, wind game, loss to the Bucs. Luckily they figured something out as a team during that bucs comeback attempt and rode it the rest of the year. But prior to that, they looked inconsistent and tight, much like they do now

Look at the 4 losses through a microscope.

Jets loss Josh basically played his worst game 

Jaguars loss they didn’t wake up till late in the second quarter

Patriots Bills come all the way back to take the lead only to have Mac Jones go 85 yards on Mcdermott

Bengals the team was stuck on 10 points till the 4th quarter.


Most of the problems this year is on the offense with the Pats game thrown in.

That and we knew we had a soft schedule down the stretch that year.

Yep. The coaches have effectively neutered Allen for long stretches of these games. It’s not a successful strategy.
