To me, it now seems clear that something is off with him. At first, I would dismiss it as me projecting my own frustrations as a fan of the team, but something is definitely different, and not in a good way. It could also be that it's less about Allen personally and more something larger going on with the team behind the scenes. Maybe the issues with Diggs are another hint at that, who knows. A couple of recent examples: 1. The biggest indicator of a real issue for me: The "same **** different day" comment after the week 1 loss to the Jets this year. To me, that comment revealed something deeper going on, since it was week 1 and that phrase came to his mind in that moment. It was 1 game, so why "same ****" ? If he was QB of the Chargers I would get that, but he and the team have had a lot of success lately. Can you imagine Mahomes saying that after the Week 1 loss at home to the Lions? That's my point. Other than Mahomes and Burrow, Allen has done a lot of winning, so what's the reason for a comment like that? An optimistic person would say no Josh, that was different **** than we're used to, not the same. 2. After the Giants game Allen seemed miserable and borderline rude to Melissa Stark who does the SNF "talk with the winners" thing at the end of the game. The way he said "let's go home" at the end of the interview was really strange. Dude, you just won the damn game! Granted, it was ugly but good lord. In fact, I think that's what I see the most with Allen this season. He just looks, sounds, and seems miserable. He's been much more combative with interviewers, calling out the "armchair critics" and just generally not being the smiling, happy go lucky ball of energy that he was in previous seasons. I do wonder if McDermott is wearing on these guys. Every time the Bills have a tough game Florio puts that "Jenga tower" analogy out there, and even though I have nothing but disdain for him generally that does worry me a bit. Like he knows something and is being cute about it. He did it AGAIN today. It's hard to dismiss when it actually feels like a good analogy.

Officiating really sucks in the NFL

If you're a Colts fan this morning is all about how you were straight up robbed by the refs yesterday. 3 turnovers taken away. they won the game twice at the end only to have the refs step in. Eventually the other team will score when they get chance after chance, then the ball put at the 1 just for good measure. Late in the game, either the call gets made and then it's basically a fait accompli because there will be another and another call on the defense if needed or it just never happens but could. It's like you get storyline A or B. In A the defense gets the illegal contact to extend a drive or take away a turnover. Then a few plays later is defensive holding or hands to the face. Then the clincher: PI in the endzone. At that point it's up to the offense to score though. -
Sounded good at the time...

That's one of the biggest problems. 1/2 your salary cap is on IR or playing 3 snaps a game. -

Von Miller is signed for like 15 years for big $ and who knows if he'll ever be back to form. -

Most of the biggest contracts are long term for huge $ and for injured or ancient players or both. No easy way out of those. Cap is a huge problem. -

Every time I see the flag icon my blood pressure rises. It's gotten to the point where I'll be doing yardwork on a Saturday and hear that there's a penalty in the Peewee game at the school next door and I'm like OH COME ON! -
Refs just gave the game to the Browns. Overturned a turnover for a tricky tack Illegal contact Then a terrible PI in the end zone

Warmer greeting for Belichick than Daboll

Several weeks in a row of uninspired play. You cannot go entire halfs without scoring a TD when your entire defense is injured
-
This is what happens when your offense takes entire halfs off
-
Offense can't play 1 half of football

Give me a break.

Guess not

Not what you want to see but got lucky on the flag
