3tds and 350 yards. This is a pass first, offensive driven league. You cant expect your defense to play lights out every week, and when they have a bad week you lose and lise badly. Thats not balance. Losses suck, but they are inevitable. Its how you lost that matters. 10 straight incompletions and 3 fumbles is not how you want to lose. 350 and 3tds??? Losing on a game winning drive? Acceptable in my eyes.

You keep saying there is all this promise for Allen....where!!!??? Hes faced multiple weak secondaries and cant get it done. Buffalo is a paper tiger right now. Until they quality wins and Allen shows a quality win against a quality team...or at least a quality game, he's shown nothing. The defense has saved us in every game, in spite of his multitude of turnovers.

I don't know, they seen enough of Zay Jones. I think they will survive another Qb draft, as long as they build all other components around Qb. Qb is a hit or miss, but its the most important one. I hope Allen makes the jump, but my confidence in him dwindles by the week. I need to see he's capable of a big game, and he's yet to show it as a passer. Running around to extend plays is great an all, but i need to see some type of dominant passing performance.

For all those clamouring about offensive play calling, the players seem to think completely differently. For a few weeks, it’s been tough sledding for Buffalo offensive coordinator Brian Daboll. The Western New York native that’s in charge of the Bills’ offensive scheming hasn’t been in the good graces of the fan base. Much of that centers around quarterback runs by Josh Allen. Some passing plays and usage of rookie running back Devin Singletry can also be tossed in there. But the Bills aren’t complaining internally. Wide receiver Cole Beasley specifically didn’t place any blame on Daboll. “It has nothing to do with play-calling or anything like that. It’s the Willies and the Joes, man, you know what I mean? Not the Xs and Os. We’ve just got to get it right,” Beasley told reporters following the game. Center Mitch Morse also echoed that with the Buffalo News. “I ride with our coaches. For me, whatever play call they call, you run it,” Morse said. But prior to the game last Monday on Oct. 21, Daboll did defend some of his strategies, specifically his designed running packages with quarterback Josh Allen. “Some of those runs (vs. Miami) that were designed really helped us situationally, third and short, one early down it got us some, and then the two-point conversion. I don’t think you live in that world too much, but we have a guy that can do those things. He gives you extra blockers and things like that. You just have to be judicious with it, and Josh does too, in terms of minimizing our hit,” Daboll said. The biggest issue with Allen rushing the ball has been ball security. As a rookie, he fumbled the ball eight times in that entire season. He’s already at eight this year, including three multi-fumble games. The No. 1 way the second-year QB has to improve is ball security. Allen’s also had seven interception, too. Surpassing 300 yards passing would be nice as well. While not specifically asked about the play-calling following the loss, Allen did take the brunt of plenty of blame plenty of times. “A performance like this won’t cut it. We didn’t play to our standard. Obviously, we played a pretty good team today and we know that, they know that, but at the same time, we still have to play up to how we know we can play,” Allen said. “I have be better with taking care of the football,” he added. billswire.usatoday.com/2019/10/28/cole-beasley-buffalo-bills-offense-doesnt-problem

You saying day after day Allen needs to be unleashed won't change anything either. Its your opinion, just as I have mine. The difference is you are going off of hope and im going off the reality in front of me. -

Um, his second head coach in two seasons? Multiple offensive systems. More time injured than Allen. A coach and regime that doesn't have a clue what going on. Rosen has been dumped to two different teams that have been a wreck. Multiple coaching staffs. Zero commitment to his development. Same thing wirh Baker Matfield. Allen has had the most coaching, the most stability, and the most dedication to his development out of any of them. -

Sorry, man, ive lost all faith in Allen after yesterday. He has not put together one impressive performance this season. He's had multiple weeks to do it against inferior secondaries. His Turnovers and lack of ball security is more than a fluke, its consistent and abundant. His lack of accuracy and ability to hit guys in stride is troubling and there are no signs of improvement. Until he actually begins to show legitimate steps of being a franchise Qb, im off the Allen bandwagon. Maybe he make me a believer again, but as of now, im done with him. Imo Barkley gives us the best chance to win and would make this offense actually formidable. -
84 yards and 3 fumbles is not a solid first half. Its pitiful.

Darnold and Rosen have excuses, Allen does not. You cant rely on 4th quarter magic. The defense is what made that magic happen, in spite of all the turnovers our Qb had all game long. Allens inconsistency and wreckless security of the ball is the reason 4th quarter comebacks are necessary. Rosen and Darnold have excuses, Allen does not. -

Two people reporting we are looking isn't "widely reported." Apparently your idea of widely reported, greatly differs from it actually is. They are called the smurfs because they are small, period. I dont care about Duke who just came off the practice squad and is slow as molasses. Im perfectly relaxed, im just not an idiot. I don't care who philly beat and where they beat them. Allen has shown nothing this year and hasn't shown any promise of a real franchise Qb. Maybe you should lay off the xanax and beers and watch a damn game sober and awake. You might understand just how ***** Allen is compared to everyone in his developmental bracket. -

Allen is Tyrod 2.0 just with many more turnovers. -

Have you seen the trows to Beasley??? I don't think Allen has hit him in stride all season. Every damn pass Beasley is diving all over the ground to catch. It wasn't "widely reported" Buffalo was looking for a Wr. If the were, it would be a big monster who open when he's not and can out muscle Dbs to make catches from an inaccurate Allen. Its common knowledge our receivers have been called "the smurfs." They are doing everything they can to make him better, but its obvious its not panning out very well. There is no signs of life out of Allen and he's a turnover machine. Im not ready to pull the plug, but im deeply concerned and discouraged with his play. He's playing no where near franchise caliber, nor is he showing flashes of it. Allen says the right things, does the right things in the community, and no doubt works his ass off, but he is really, really far off anything resembling a franchise guy or superstar. -

laugh it up Buttercup.... The 5-foot-8 Texas native quickly turned out to be one of Dak Prescott’s favorite targets last season, and Beasly turned in career highs in targets (98), receptions (75), receiving yards (833), and tied his career high in touchdown receptions (five). As PFF notes, his slot catch rate was the highest among slot receivers in the NFL last season. The 78.9% he posted last season improved on his already impressive career catch-percentage of 72%. In fact, Beasley stacks up to not just the elite slot receivers, but also the best wideouts in entire league. By Football Outsiders’ DYAR metric (Defense-adjusted Yards Above Replacement), which assigns value to a wide receiver’s performance compared to replacement-level production, Beasley was the fifth most valuable receiver last season, ahead of players like Antonio Brown, A.J. Green, and DeSean Jackson. Similarly, he was also the fifth-ranked wideout in DVOA, which grades the receiver on a per-play basis and measures players on how much better they are than the league average at their position. And that was Dak Prescott throwing him passes...not Tom Brady. -

Nothing funny about it. Julian Edelman average yards of separation, 3.0 - always open, always making catches. Cole Beasley average yards of separation, 3.5 - never utilized, practically non existent On New England, he's on his way to a pro bowl...period. His whole career Beasley created separation, this is exactly the reason we went after him in the off season. -

The Bills pass game struggled over the final two quarters. Josh Allen, who was an efficient 8-13 for 74 yards and a touchdown in the first half, went just 8-21 passing for 95 yards in the second half and had 10 consecutive incompletions to end the game. -

That is completely false. Im tired of the excuses for Allen. Cole Beasley averages 3.5 yards of separation per play. That is wide open in the NFL, its on par with the best in the league, and its always open. Smoke averages 2.5, which is about the league average in terms of separation. These guys are open, Allen simply isnt connecting. Why do you think Beasley is getting more aggravated by the week? The plays are there to be made and these players are open. If Beasley was on New England he'd be pro bowl bound. -

i never said anyone had it "figured out." I said he's a game manager, he's playing timid, and im highly concerned that he's yet to have 300+ break out game that says, I've arrived. Im comparing him to his counterparts in todays era. All those other Qbs have taken over games with their passing ability. Im deeply concerned about Allen. I understand you're trying to prove a point, but if you're not concerned about Allen's play in the modern NFL, I really don't know what to say.
