Well currently his strength is throwing it to the other team.  

I take it you are a young fan.  And I mean no offense.

 

You don’t recall the long list of garbage that played QB for this team since Kelly.

 

Josh is a top QB in this league.  Period.

I don't mind losing, that happens (and this one isn't over) but I really don't like how we've managed to make ourselves so BORING

Boring is what they need.  So many people are under the misconception that the game has changed so much yet running and defense always wins.

And the multiple conference championships and touchdown passes and the fire and the gold jacket

and the Medicare fraud scheme.

[BigDingus]

Leaders in INTs this season:

 

1. Josh Allen - 11

 

3t. Jordan Love - 10

3t. Mac Jones - 10

5t. Jimmy G - 9

5t. Sam Howell - 9

 

Plenty of good offenses make mistakes too, i.e. dropped balls, penalties, injuries, fumbles, etc. but their QBs aren't turning the ball over every single game either.

Your "lucky" sounds a lot like "we suck."

Yea, but the Broncos suck too. I find it unlucky that they pulled all of that off.

Allen can do it. We've seen it.

This is purely on the coaching staff and the culture of the franchise.

 

Pegula's need to be swift and strong.

This is like borderline religious thinking.

2 minutes ago, NoSaint said:

yea, hartys first call of the game should definitely be a deep out that boxes in the short agile guy at the sideline 

 

Josh isn’t playing great but that is hand in hand with a complete lack of common sense from the OC

17 has been below average but still alot of football to be played

Did Dorsey call for another totally boneheaded int 

Yeah because the offense was playing so well before that pick. 8 whole points on 5 possessions!!!!

Ugly start so far but they’ll come back. No doubt. 

 

And I thought I was the most optimistic on the board.

 

I hope you're right.  I definitely want to believe you're right.

Stadium has no life or energy.  I hope someone is peeling the paint from the walls in the locker room. This place is dead.  Just brutal, angry atmosphere. 

Boo them the rest of the game.

 

This team is totally expendable. There's not a single player I wouldn't trade for draft assets

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

He hasn’t played this bad since his first season.

I don’t even understand how that last play is supposed to work with tiny Harty on the sideline. Was he supposed to cut back? Was Allen supposed to put more air under it so it was over the DB? It just made no sense. Harty plays like 10% of snaps.

 

The design was poor and the ball was late

[boyst]

8 minutes ago, Simon said:

 

He was having a great turnaround game after last week.

Been getting pushed around a little bit since the injury though.

I didn't hear what it was; lower body?

It seemed like his knee. 

[Breakout Squad]

The Allen turnover stat was jarring. 90 turnovers is disgusting. Aikman said it well that it is probably the reason we can’t advance in the playoffs. 

[The Jokeman]

I'm sick of that Sutton replay as you can damn see the ball move and nobody cares to say anything.

[Since1981]

DID YOU SEE BRONCO HD AND QB talking many times?????

[Maine-iac]

Allen might be the only person on the planet who doesn't realize if he just took 50 percent more check downs he'd hit twice as many deep passes later on.  He refuses to take the short stuff so they sit on the sticks and Allen rewards them with pick after pick.

Partly.

 

But 3 of 6 drives were stalled cause of fumbles and dropped passes.

Agreed on that at least?

The magic of 2020-2021 is definitely long gone.  Lots of change likely coming up after the season.

all for the better.

 

this head coach and his average staff have done all they can.  If u switched staffs tonight the bills would be up two scores right now.

Just now, JayBaller10 said:

Impossible. I believe it was @GoBills808 who said that no other QB in the league was playing as well as Allen. 

 

Yeah, that was one of the most head-in-the-sand posts I've ever seen.

Just now, PatsFanNH said:

I think hero ball the wrong word, he is just what Farve was in the day a gun slinger. He will make amazing plays and then occasionally make plays make you wonder wth is he doing. 

These are not Favre errors. He is not trying to squeeze them into tight places. He is throwing to the wrong people. 

[dpberr]

You have to think that losing this game has consequences for this coaching staff.

 

This entire season has been in fireable offense territory but losing at home to the Broncos on MNF might just do it.

[BuffaloBillsGospel2014]

Allen must be hurt worse than what we're lead to believe, I have a hard time believing he;s regressed this much because of play calling or a GF.

[Bills aPHILLYate]

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.

Correct on the coaching. Those series that cook sat out could've led to scoring opportunities and a shift in momentum extremely early but instead were wasted on proving a point. 

I also agree on the handling of Josh. He isn't playing naturally. His running ability has essentially been removed from the offense altogether and that's what accentuated his passing. 

His playmaking ability has been compromised.

[Kaenon]

Is this just the team we have now?

It's been half a season of this in a row.

[MPT]

2 minutes ago, DuckyBoys said:

defenses are giving us all underneath passes and not playing the run but Allen and Dorsey too damned stubborn or just stupid in Allens case  On defense maybe stop rushing upfield or use a spy so 99 yr old Wilson doesnt break a 100 yards rushing tonight

 

Yeah Allen shouldn't be making these throws but Dorsey also shouldn't be calling them.

 

These plays shouldn't even be an option for Josh at this point. He clearly can't help himself, so just remove them as an option 

[Big Blitz]

1 minute ago, Rocbillsfan1 said:

No he didn’t. But Josh clearly has anxiety and is trying to play hero ball because the other guys suck and keep turning the ball over and Dorsey and McDermott are terrible coaches so you end up with Josh pressing. By the way that was a deep out to a 5’7 receiver lol. Like what? 

 

I said same thing - Problem 1 is it was Harty

Come on man. Get outta here with this. Yes, the Bills should run here and there but their passing game is broken.

Let Josh ride the bench in the second half. Let Kyle Allen have a shot.

The QB is a MASSIVE part of the offensive failure.

Team is completely lost.  Throwing crap at the wall and seeing what sticks.

DORSEY NEEDS TO BE ON THE FIELD. FORGET THIS BOOTH STUFF. YOUR QB NEEDS YOU IN HIS FACE NOT HIS EAR. 

 

Worth trying at this point

[BuffaloButt]

Bills D makes every QB look like an MVP.  How is that possible!  Play some man coverage and force them to make difficult throws.  The Zone crap ain't working!!
