Allen makes him look a lot better than he is.  The only time that the Bills are consistently effective at moving the ball is when the Bills fall way behind, which at this point is nearly every game, and Allen develops a sense of urgency and decides that if the Bills are to win, he has to take over the game.  The Bills get a lot of yards and points off of Allen's ability to improvise.

The WR's he has to work with are trash.  Still those one yard passes to Shakir and and Johnson for minimal gains are stupid and surely going to lead to a pick six at some point.


 

Im seeing them all over the league.  
 

I don’t think they’re as bad as we make them out to be.

I don't see anything to make me think he would be very successful if he didn't have a talent like Allen running the offense. 

 

He's okay, but his game planning is so vanilla and I rarely see the Bills change it up much until we are down big and we've decided it's time for Allen to go hulk mode on them.

I don’t like his play calling, but that doesn’t mean it’s not working.
 

True, there are individual plays that don’t work — and often look incompetent — but then you get to the end of the game and look at the scoreboard and we’ve put up another 30-point game. 
 

And yes, there are patterns that are frustrating, too: The screens that leave you holding your breath; the over-reliance on mesh concepts; the inability to scheme open receivers. But again…infuriating as it may be in the moment, the scoreboard speaks louder than the stat sheet.
 

And perhaps most importantly, while I have lots of anxiety about our offense, I also have more faith in the offense to overcome its weaknesses than I do the defense. That’s more bc of 17 than Brady, but regardless I never feel hopeless when we’re within a score and Josh has the ball. 
 

Now the defense on the other hand…I’m not so sure. Improving, for sure. But would I trust them against McVay and Stafford in the Super Bowl? Nope.
