Broncos @ Bills Game Thread - 1st half

Why were we calling timeouts at the end of the half? All it did was help the Broncos. 

Because we wanted the ball back in an attempt to score points. If they didn’t people would B word about that too.

No it’s not. We don’t have to try and spin every single thing that happens against the coaches.

 

yeah, it actually is

Maybe Josh should ride some pine for a while. No, I don't think it will be better without him. But maybe it will wake him the F up, and pull his head out.

But remember the homers here say he can do  no wrong and he is the greatest QB ever. So tired of him not getting blame. McD didn’t throw that pic. 

 

Maybe "homers" just blame Josh for stuff he's at fault for, rather than everything?

[ngbills]

Eli just said it. Get rid of the outs. Extend plays. Get out of the pocket. 

[EmotionallyUnstable]

This Broncos team has their ***** together way more than our Bills. Ashamed 

[Casey D]

This is just so sad.  There is something profoundly wrong with this team.  I don't know what,  but it does not matter for this year I am afraid.

It is the elephant in the room. Nobody seems to want to tackle it. He has been horribly inconsistent since the middle of last season. When he is good he is great. When he is bad he stops this team having a chance to win.

 

He was very good the entire half and then threw one bad ball.

Rudderless, lost, complete boondoggle. What the ***** is happening at OBD?

Same thing that happened all of 2nd half last year and most of this year.  Straight tomfoolery!

Allen 86 yards. No running yards.

[ILBillsfan]

I do not recall one play action play by the Bills in the half.....where has that gone

[TheFunPolice]

Are the players tuning out the coaches?

 

I legitimately don't get it.

 

I keep thinking it's about to turn around and this nonsense will be a distant memory

Plus, why not sub? The officials have to let Buffalo sub. Take your sweet time subbing and the clock runs out? 

That would take a competent coaching staff to strategize that.

I’m not putting this all on Josh.

 

Coaching is a huge problem.  He needed to play his game all year and was held back.  You don’t make a vet remake his game like that.  He doesn’t need to think, just react and play.

Some of it is def on him  especially that last INT.

But ya.

 

 

Hard to get in a rhythm when you have half your drives stalled by a fumble, a dropped pass which results in an INT, and a dropped pass by Kincaid

No way Bills are organized enough to get that kickoff in time. 

 

McDermott would just now be telling the kicker to warm up.

The coaching staff is the problem. Need fresh blood in there 

Unless you’re ready to scrap Allen. Give him a new regime.

Down by 7 at home to the team that gave up 70 points to the Dolphins. Can it get any worse?

Are you giving the Bills a challenge? LOL

 

If there's a will, there's a way.

I’ll be reminding you in the years to come about this…I’ll be nice….not so bright statement.

Sure thing chief. Career 2:1 TD to turnover ratio

 

 

[Preds]

I hope McDummy benches Josh for a quarter and a half too...  

[RyanC883]

Just now, VaMilBill said:

At this point, I don’t know how josh can be called great. He’s playing like a rookie. He has the potential to be great and he displays flashes, but he is so incredibly inconsistent at this point. We may have a QB problem in our hands. I’ll say I don’t think McD or Dorsey are helping him

 

everything, including Allen has regressed with McD and Dorsey

He sure does this season.

He's Favre. He always has been. You take the good with the bad

[SoCal Deek]

Just now, Iverwig said:

Not really. The trajectory of Josh’s throws are not the same like they have been the last few seasons. There is a reason for that. 

Women weaken legs! 😉

[Nitro]

It used to be people complained that running the ball takes it out of Allen’s hands.  I now agree with  running the ball more.  He had been a turnover machine.  Sorry but true.

Jet's are licking their chops. Sad and pathetic football. Team is a disaster. Why is McDermott safe? 

Jets?  More like the Dolphins.

[WickedGame]

Bench him. Make him get his god***n head screwed on straight.
 

He needs to quit acting like a shooter in a slump…you’re not gonna shoot your way out of the funk.

Can someone find missed sack stats? We have to lead the league. 

I was just saying to my hubby that they have had nery a sniff on Wilson tonight. Cannot wrap him up!

That pick looks 100% on Allen. But the truth is, the Bills offense is mediocre across the board, except for Allen and Diggs. A 7-10 club with an average QB. Kincaid and Torrence are the only glimmers of hope. 

We might be a 7-10 club with Allen

[Mikie2times]

I hate this episode. We go down two scores entering the 4th quarter. We score but fail to overcome the two score deficit. Defense tires and the nail gets closed on us with about 3 minutes left. I believe this episode is a 20 yard TD for Javonte.

Is there any level of crappy he can achieve that will stop the excuse crap.  He got lazy and it shows.

.......... and we are lucky as hell to only be down a TD.

Broncos had 7 points instead of 0 on a great 4th down catch.  I think this score is about where it should be 

[BuffaloBillyG]

Hopefully, there's a players only meeting at the half. Maybe a few punches thrown. Whatever it takes.

Tripple dip actually

Everyone on the planet knows we were supposed to creep into FG range by taking what they give, except our QB.  Trying to tie this, and the fumble by Cook is ridiculous.  

[TurfToeJam]

The most energy I saw by Allen was him running into the locker room at halftime.

Not to be that guy, but Allen has more to work w than the Rookie in Texas, and is doing soooo much less with it.

[Awwufelloff]

Allen’s face is one of defeat, staring at the ground alone on the bench. He’s checked out.

I think this is the case. There is a malaise with the group.

 

You can only have so much bible time

[Ray Stonada]

Down 7 at half after three turnovers is actually great.

 

Can the coaches get these guys ready to come out for the second?
