[Brianmoorman4jesus]

We absolutely can not afford to lose this game. We already lost all the margin for error with the falcons and dolphins blunder. We need a miracle turnover 

[Big Turk]

There are people wide open almost every play, we should comfortably ahead and coasting right now

Have to agree, Allen is all messed up.. and there seems to be no one currently  who can help him find his way back. 

Me, too. He does not look like a very good quarterback, much less an MVP.

The D has always been suspect......Josh Allen not being "Josh Allen" is a major factor in the struggles we are seeing.

 

In all honesty, it's almost unfair to him that he has to play a perfect game in order for the team to compete at a high level.

He doesn't have to play perfect but he's gotta play better than this.

[Blank Stare]

Could really use a turnover defense. Or…you know, a stop on third down.

For once, we  have receivers getting open, and pretty frequently.

 

Very dismayed by Josh's play.

 

Yeh it's frustrating. Guys are getting open today. 

 

This is on the defense, coaching, Hardman, and Allen.

He was throwing to Palmer, just missed for whatever reason

 

I think he was locked on the guy behind him in the end zone and didn’t see Palmer til too late.  Which is also bad.

I feel like Josh is going through kind of a reboot here.  After not making much happen the last couple weeks, the backyard style he used to play with is making an appearance again and you have to take the good with the bad......  He'll find the the balance, but it is frustrating to watch things look so disjointed in the meantime.  Seems like we are almost over-substituting at times.  You never know who is on the field.  But that's what you get when you don't have a corps group of weapons you can count on play in and play out.  I mean, one play it's Palmer and Samuel.  The next it's 2 different WRs.  Cook comes off the field on important downs all the time.  Just out of sync.....

[Buffalo Ballin]

I highly recommend keep playing Josh Allen at QB. His 2 picks hurt us today.

 

Hardman's fumble hurt us a lot. A lot.

 

Yeah, Josh missed throws that he's supposed to make.

[stlbills13]

No sacks since KC

Brady refuses to realize that we won't be able to run today. They have that bottled up.

Doesn’t matter, Josh is playing like he’s in his sophomore season right now. I am not sure what the deal is, but he does not look in control out there on the field like we’re accustomed to seeing. Seems like he’s constantly pressing and just doesn’t look comfortable in the offense.

Yeah he is missing wide open guys today.

This keeps up and I'm gonna start to believe Josh has his eyes on California.

 

Never seen him this off the last 5 years.

Don't think for one second he is not hearing sweet whispers of LA from his Hollywood wife, and if he wants to win a SB he would be smart to listen

That’s what it looked like to me but I’d have to see it again 

[popcornpam]

Let’s do run blitz  and what’s wrong with that 24 he’s done nothing today

Pre draft?  What did Josh Allen's say.  Those are always wrong.  He is used as a 1 tech

Huh? That has nothing to do with the point im saying lol. Josh Allen was drafted as a QB and is playing QB last time I checked lol.

I am talking about position

 

 

[Nitro]

D line is definitely not winning the LOS battle

[KOKBILLS]

I feel like I should not have to tell an NFL OC that is supposedly in line to be a HC that after a good run on 1st down play action is a smart thing to do on 2nd...Especially when your tendencies are to run it... Against a team that is not great vs play action... When your QB is very good at play action... Ugh...anyway...

What do you suggest to get this?

Maybe another version of a question, is it a skill issue? Who upon?

 

I suggest the players do their ***** jobs.

[BRH]

It could be worse.

 

We could be the Chargers.
