[Process]

Allen's eyes went straight to an open Cook in the flat and he didn't throw it because........?????

Maybe he’s not putting in the time anymore that he’s married

everyone keeps saying this and I don’t get it. It’s not like he met her on the day they got married. I don’t know about you guys but I didn’t start suddenly spending more time with my wife after our wedding. 
 

Now if he had recently had a kid. THEN I could understand having less time. But signing the paperwork from girlfriend to wife doesn’t change the amount of time, IMO.

Can someone teach Dion that when the rest of the line shifts right, he has to also?  MULTIPLE times Josh is left exposed because he sticks on the outside rusher.

Or stop 

 

...or stop the shift right

Holding them to 3 would be a miracle. 

MIRACLE!

Well, not bad defensively so far. Hopefully the offense gets it figured out!

[SC STATE NUPE]

Josh better start devoting more time to working out with his receivers in the offseason, as opposed to always golfing. Because all his play this year is doing is making the haters validate their words about him. He does not look good this year and it’s not a freaking injury! Cook was wide a__ open on the first play! He’s been missing wide open players ALL year!!!

Also what a dumb decision by Hardman

Naw.

 

If he mishandles it, what happens is worse.

It was going to be a safety, I think he was trying to throw it away.

100%!
 

Exactly correct!

 

We were about to be down 2 and kicking to the Bucs, because of a suddenly porous OL!

When Josh is in shotgun, it’s a pass so they blitz.  Too predictable….

 

 

And our line is incapable of picking it up.

 

Ive said for years that line is overrated.

Got away with one there! 

 

Good job by the defense 

 

Actually worked out. 3 points and the Bills get the ball back, instead of 2 points safety with the Bucs getting the ball. 
 

All started with Hardman’s dumb decision.

He didn’t design a blitz beater. 

The scary part I don't even think it was a blitz. I think they just rushed 4 but did it with sim pressures.

 

Bills O line all season has been a nightmare at picking those up

I honestly think it's our dumbass head coach trying to make him a certain way instead of just letting him be Josh Allen. 

That's definitely part of it.

How does Joe Brady still have a job?

Because his boss, and his boss’s boss, still do.

Bowles has Josh fooled, at least on the first two plays. 

He missed a wide open guy on the first play…

[Irish Dave]

I can’t wait for McBean to get fired after this season.  Start over.  

[JerseyBills]

Walker will be an All pro in the next 2 years, Josh looks like a rookie

Actually a safety might have been worst case scenario because the Bucs could have been up 9-0 before the offense had the ball again. 

This is what we’d say with drought era teams.

Did Brady design that two hand shovel pass? Asking for a friend

3 straight passes on your own 4 yard line?  I do believe he called that. Josh trying to make silk out pure crap.
