McDermott is going to call Soft Zone again. 🤦 

[Blank Stare]

Play Buffalo Joe on run downs. 

[popcornpam]

Come on McDermott let’s go ahead and go after the quarterback. I know you were saving everything so do it.

[NewBillsFan86]

We just won

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

“Expected”

Miscommunication

Doubt it, 4 down territory 

 

Either a TD or turnover on downs

I was being sarcastic.

[The 9 Isles]

Finally Brady calls the right play for 2pts and Allen sails it. 
 

This team is so full of bad juju

We've scored 37. How much oxygen does he need to give us.

The issue is Sean Tucker and McD’s horrendous defense, not our unicorn QB putting up nearly 300 yards in another Favreian effort 

[TNBills]

Something looks off on every Allen throw. Like the ball isn't coming out clean and he is fighting it.

[sven233]

If you told me before the game that the offense would score 37, I would have guesses we won by 10.  But with the way our defense is going, we're going to have to score 47 to have a chance to win......

I think I know why. He doesn’t trust his line so he is rushing his progressions or not going through them.

 

PS, Touchdown #5.

Imagine during the drought if a fan complained when our QB had 5 TD’s.

 

Perhaps - they have been exposed a bit with those protection schemes this year and picking up the late blitzers - particularly on the outside where Dawkins and Brown have both taken an inside rusher to let the outside rusher come free.

But I think on the whole he has been behind shakier offensive lines - this we know.

Also, there has been a trend of Allen heating up later in game and coming out cold and dead in the 1st half. Adjustments aside, that is something the coaching staff has to find a way to turn around. Maybe more designed Allen runs early?  That used to work for Dabs to get Allen into the game flow and calm his nerves.

Need at least another TD

If I’m not mistaken. Josh should have been throwing into the wind which means it shouldn’t have sailed on him like that

 

The flag on the goal post the Bucs are driving toward are blowing toward their other endzone (where the Bills scored).

[LarryMadman]

Bunch of Josh passes are high today, might be an indication of injury

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.  

Hard to argue the playcall this time lol it was as absolutely wide open as anything gets in the nfl 

[finn]

Turnover or TD coming. 

[BearNorth]

Did I just see Thurman sitting on the bench next to Josh?
