At best, they’re a 500 team without Allen, he’s amazing. This one is absolutely 100% not at all on him.
I agree. I probably didn’t say that very well. Those are 2 separate thoughts. Like, I enjoy watching the Bills right now because the stuff Allen does is awesome to watch. But losing games in stupid ways or just simply losing close playoff games over and over and over is exhausting.
Does anyone think mahomes wasn't driving them down the field for a GW FG even if Bass makes that FG?
Be happy you aren't a Bears fan.
I consider Allen far superior to Burrow. Nothing against Joe, but Allen is up there in that top tier with Mahomes, imo.
Respectfully, I cannot disagree with you more on this point. Diggs exhibits diva like behavior and wants to believe he is elite.
I'm hoping that he just has an undisclosed injury. The problem is that he was basically invisible during the second half of this season and he was a liability on the field last night. I've been in the guy's corner when it comes to the locker room stuff, but I can't excuse the lack of on-field production.
A couple things:
My take today is basically the same as this, and basically the same as it was after the Denver game. It's nice that we won the division and everything, but so what. The end result is that we wasted another year of prime Allen.I figured they were done, and I'm happy to have been wrong about that. Glad they turned it around.I love going through this thread and seeing how many posters gave up on this season and said we were done.
And we know who you are so no use to editing your original posts.
That said, there is still no excuse for losing to to teams like Denver or New England. If we had simply taken care of business, we would likely have the division locked up after this week and we'd be talking about finally having HFA after all these years. And to be clear, nobody should celebrate if we back into a WC berth and lose in the divisional round again. This team is better than that. It's not 2017 anymore.
In fairness, the situation with White is just extremely unlucky. And Knox's contract wouldn't look quite so bad if Kincaid wasn't developing into a stud, which is a wonderful problem to have.
It costs $4M more dead cap to move Diggs so Bills are stuck there. Seems like he will be a Bill in 2024.
I've been thinking for a while now, that Josh Allen is John Elway before Mike Shanahan got to Denver. If Allen had a Shanahan like innovative play caller, I think he'd absolutely be in the Brady/Manning conversation.
Great point.
Agree - it was not the easiest catch in the world, and even top WRs drop passes sometimes. But typically he catches that 9 times out of 10, and if that were the only one he dropped among a myriad of tough catches, you could chalk it up to just one drop. It may have just been a lack of concentration, which may have been riddling him all night - and in recent weeks.
Last week Diggs was way out in front of the defense for an easy 60 yard plus TD and Allen airmailed it over his head. Works both ways. They just seem off and Allen has not thrown even intermediate passes consistently well lately. There’s a reason they haven’t had the 20 plus yard chunk passing plays.
I can't even go in that thread sometimes with how absurdly negative it is. Its like there were people who honestly thought the Bears were gonna be contenders this season, which I get rooting for your favorite team, but if you told me before the season the Bears weren't eliminated from the playoffs until week 17, I'd have been pretty happy about it, from a team that earned the #1 pick the year before. I kinda wonder of the Texans big turnaround gave unrealistic expectations league wide.
I know his stats were meh, but from me watching the game, Josh Allen is the only reason the game was even close. He’s a top 3 QB in the NFL. Without him, they’re not a playoff team, imo.I can't even go in that thread sometimes with how absurdly negative it is.

Back to Buffalo, I have found it odd, how much the media spent all week talking about how severely overmatched the Bills D was gonna be due to injuries, then the game happens, and the Bills D is severely overmatched due to injuries, and somehow its Josh Allen's fault.
I think 2 of my bigger NFL media (and fans) pet peeves, is the Ricky Bobby logic, of if you aren't 1st you're last, which is stupid. And the idea that its QB vs QB, as if we're watching tennis and not a game with 22 players on the field every play.
Run it back next year with the same lame duck *** head coach. Surely the results will be different next time!!
I agree with the poster about getting a true WR1. Like the tight ends, think Cook can play too… big fan of Gabe Davis. You put 2 more talented WRs out there and ditch Diggs, Allen’s offense becomes unstoppable. Idk how anyone can root against that guy, he is so fun to watch. Really sucks they lost!
But you're ignoring the talent infusion we'll get from the draft. Maybe two or three more DLs will make the difference.
He might have, but we'll never know.
I think he has the inside track. But because of Rooney Rule they have to do interviews. And I do think it's possible a dark horse could wow them in the interview process.
The Rooney rule applies to OCs? I thought HCs could basically choose any staff they wanted.
I know it applies to OCs and DCs - not sure if it also applies at lower levels. Once you've done the interviews you can hire anybody you want. It's just to ensure more opportunity to minority candidates.
I'm fine with Brady, but I want to see what else is out there. There should be a line of high-quality OCs lined up out the door for this team. If there isn't, that's a problem.
Josh was on board with both moves. I'd have to get up to speed on schemes, but I could call plays with Josh Allen as QB. Didn't the Bills score about the same with Dorsey & Brady, with the win differential attributed mostly to fewer turnovers on offense and more on defense? Perhaps an outside hire of a position coach with new ideas would help. Miami went outside to find the so-called best d-coordinator and he proved that players matter more.
I get it, and I don't actually have an particular problem with Brady necessarily. I just wish we would bring in new blood, or at least seriously consider doing so.
It's the Pegula way. Can't wait until Okposo is the new Sabres coach....
