Ok, maybe not. 

[KOKBILLS]

The Bills have 2 major issues on D... Stopping the run and keeping Baker in the pocket

Defense try to hold them to a FG.  

Doubt it, 4 down territory 

 

Either a TD or turnover on downs

Josh is about 80% of his level of last year.  Missing open receivers, making some bad decisions.  Is he trying too hard to overcompensate for the defense sucking?

Yes

[SC STATE NUPE]

Josh off passes today look like how his passes were the year before Diggs got on the team. Remember he would make passes from like the 5 yard line that would fly 7 feet above the receivers heads? Those things are correctable. Is it something mentally going on?

Scouting report says he's inaccurate.

Troy Aikman said accuracy can't be fixed....at all.

Gilliam stopped, Josh expected him to keep going

 

Disagee, Gilliam had already turned his back and was facing Josh.

The Bills have to be one of the worst teams at 3rd and 4th and 2 or the 2pt conversion.   And not one of those has gone to Cook.  

[Kelly to Allen]

Come on d. Let's go Buffalo 🦬

It's the Buffalo Bills experience.

D needs to pull its own weight

Its an old school Josh Allen experience game today. Some sublime. Some utterly ridiculous.

Methinks he is ignoring Brady’s calls…and his calling his own plays.

I hope that decision to go for two there doesn't come back to bite us.  Our D hasn't been able stop a beach ball today.

We see the splash plays, but on the balance that guy is usually no where near his gap and lost in coverage.

I can get that he was tapped as our Mike when the league was all pass pass because he is lighter and faster, but even when he drops in coverage he just covers grass and seems to have no concept of zone match.

I know it will likely never happen, but they need more of a thumper that is gap sound at Mike and Bernard is more of a weakside LB IMO.

I get tge frustration but he is so evidently hurt bad and being forced to play because of other injuries.

 

It sucks but its not on him anywhere near as much as everyone else.

 

DC needs to scheme him some protection, admittedly harder to do with Milano sucking next to him. McDermott for sulking calling plays, or not taking the reigns from Babich.  

 

Its on Beane for assembling this roster. Rolling the dice on so many dudes that stay hurt year after year. For not making even a solid depth deal at trade deadline. 

 

Its all so frustrating 

[Brianmoorman4jesus]

We need another miracle turnover. Max? 

[Nitro]

Gilliam was running parallel to the goal line.  Allen sailed the throw.  Watch the replay.

Or, play that rookie CB that has 2 INTs already. Let's get another Mad Max INT!

[Behindenemylines]

Most bipolar season ever.  I deal with this Stuff all week long.  But suburbs can handle it with my Bills too.  Ughh

[Steptide]

Really need a turnover
