Even if Newton had never been injured... he isn't, wasn't, hasn't been nearly as good as Allen is as a passer...and never has... 10 seasons in the NFL and Newton has had only four seasons at 60% passing or above. Out of those ten seasons he has had only 3 that were winning seasons 2013-2015-2017. His QB record is 69-60-1. His TDs, he has only one season with 30+ TD passes. In 2015 with 35 TDs, and the next season in 2016 went 6-8 with a 52.5 completion percentage, 19 TD passes. Newton threw for 4000 yards only once, his first season. Newton barley breaking 20 TD passes a season most of his career. Allen, in his four years in the league, 10 TDs, 20 TDs, 37 TDs respectively, and 34 already this year. Completion percentage, 52.8, 58.8, 69.2, 64.1 and we also know that Allen hasn't been one to take the check down pass until recently. Already 3 out of 4 winning seasons. 38-21 record. with two 4000 yard seasons. Lastly, If Allen had an OC who knew how to defeat a cover 2 shell defense (after being an NFL offensive coordinator for 12 years) and build a decent ground game enough to help take the offense off the QBs shoulders somewhat, Josh Allen would have been the NFL MVP this season. P.S. Yes, the Buffalo Bills have finally found a run game the last few games and finally figured out how to work to defeat a cover 2 shell. Why did it take most of the season to figure this out?

I don't look at them that way. Should the Bills get the lead and hold it, that would force the Colts to throw...and Wentz is not an elite "come from behind" QB. Use their own way they beat the Patriots against them. OTOH, should the Bills get down against them in a rematch, I think Allen has the tools and weapons to put up some good numbers against any team. They showed that in the second half of that Bucs game.

You and me both brother! Going into the 3rd quarter, Cleveland's RB Nick Chubb had a 5.8 YPC avg, that with 10 carries and ended the game with a 4.8 YPC avg with only 12 carries. When you have a starting QB that dinged up and the highest paid backup in the league...why not sit the starter and play the backup?? Not only that, why not run the ball down the Steelers throats?? It was like the Bills OC was running that offense this week. Or, as others pointed out...perhaps the HC wanted to point out the flaws in the current starting QB... that he isn't worthy of a big contract. That the team may need to draft a QB again in the first round in the 2022 NFL draft? Curiouser and curiouser!

Like I stated, "lies, damned lies and statistics." Not to mention... that Josh Allen running for the end zone with the ball in his hands certainly would not have been downed by a knee a yard from the EZ... AND, he wouldn't have gotten a 15 yard penalty for taunting which pushed the team back 15 yards. "I'll say that Allen was a more effective QB than Matt Ryan." As would I, as would I.

There are three kinds of lies, lies, damned lies and statistics. Three things happen when you throw a football and two are bad. IMO Allen was mad about his passing performance and took it out by running it right at the Falcons. Allen Passing, 11 of 26 for 120 yards, 3 INTs Allen Rushing, 15 carries 81 yards a 5.4 YPC avg. 2 rushing TDs. The Bills won...so, who cares about the stats...as others have pointed out Allen's poor passing performance finally had the OC work the run game more to counter the lousy passing...it worked! About time too... considering the Bills might need to run the ball more in inclement weather conditions again. Balance works on offense! Finally Singletary with a 100 yard rushing game!!! 23 rushes for 110 yards, 2 rushing TDs, a 4.8 YPC avg. Funny thing... nobody whining about how the Bills need a better O line and better RBs after this game. The thing is, RB's tend to play better the more they run the ball...that, over the past sporadic play calling of 10 or so carries a game by a RB.

I keep hearing about Tomlin...when was that 2019? Rudolph 5-3, Hodges 3-3. The Steelers went 8-8 that season. Yet, Tomlin has had Big Ben most of his entire tenure as HC of the Steelers. Let's see what he does without Ben. Both Cowher and Tomlin have been Steelers HC for 15 years each. Tomlin 240 games 153-85-2. Cowher, 240 games 149-90-1, he did it with QB's like Tommy Maddox, Kordell Stewart, Mike Tomczak, Neil O'Donnell, Big Ben his last three seasons. They both took their teams to two SB's and each won one and lost one. Both with 11 winning seasons.

Chubb is averaging 5.8 yards per carry and he only has 10 rush attempts so far...

#1 overall pick Baker Mayfield literally stinks...5 of 17 for 65 yards, 1 INT. Can't run, can't throw, can't read the coverage. 2800 passing yards on the season, 13 games going 6-7, 15 TDs, 11 INTs Makes me so glad the Browns passing on Josh Allen not once, but twice at #1 & #4 overall. RB Nick Chubb, that O line 2018 7-8-1 2019 6-10 2020 11-5 and paper tigers who were supposed to get to the super bowl in 2021. If only they had a QB worth a crap. Backup Case Keenum is a better QB. currently 7-8 and looking to go 7-9. wonder if they draft a QB in the first round this year?

This is what should have happened every single time the QB has great difficulty passing in a game. Every...single...time!! Guess what? Suddenly the crappy Buffalo O line and RBs are good enough to win games. The OC simply needs to do his job properly in setting up a decent run scheme and call more run plays... instead of just keep calling pass plays that aren't working.

What's crazy to me was scoring only 6 points against a 1-6, 30th ranked defense of the Jacksonville Jaguars losing 6-10. Literally no excuse to lose a game like this. At the half some serious changes should have taken place. Alas, the Bills didn't score a single point in that second half... FG, FG, punt, punt, INT, INT, punt, fumble, downs. Only 9 rushes by the Bills RBs, 47 pass attempts, 4 sacks on Allen. The Titans game was a good close game and anything can happen in a game like that. That Jags game will haunt me if the Bills falter in getting to the big game this season.

Gee, wonder if the Giants are thinking they really screwed up not drafting Allen with that #2 overall. But then, I can only imagine that Cleveland who passed on him TWICE at #1 & #4, the NY Jets at #3 chose Darnold. The Broncos at #5 chose Chubb, the Colts at #6 chose Nelson are all thinking that way... all of them need a top QB. Most of the Buffalo fan base wanted Josh Rosen and were begging Beane to give up the farm to trade up with the NY Giants to the #2 spot to draft him... In any event, no way for Barkley! Build the O line to better protect Josh and help the run game.

Good stuff as usual Virgil. My take is that something clicked during the halftime of that Bucs game and this team simply hasn't been the same since. Perhaps it was McD placing his foot repeatedly in certain spots. Perhaps it was the team knowing that they were better then they showed in that first half (embarrassed)and came out fighting and haven't stopped. I'd like to think that Josh Allen took the pro bowl snub to heart...but then, he played lights out in the second half of that Bucs game too. Allen is developing into a upper echelon superstar QB, like Montana, Rodgers. Took the check downs, throwaways, underneath routes. Took what the defense gave him...and gave that #1 Patriots defense all they could handle. Lil Dirty, what a game! Interesting that Frazier his changed out of his "nickle" scheme to replace the DBs with some run stuffers. WHAT? Nobody talking about how the Bills need to replace the RBs, O linemen this week? This game made my year so far and on par with Hoodie throwing the phone in last years game.

Let's face it...this is the 2021 Buffalo Bills super bowl. No other game will have this much impact on their season with their hated division rivals. Last game against NE... Old smiley was actually smiling for the first time ever... and hugging his assistant coaches. eff that! I'd love to see a repeat of that 2020 game in NE... Besides, last weeks game might just be a precursor with Singletary rushing 22 times for 86 yards and 1 TD. I hope the Bills pound the rock against NE...40 times for 250+ yards. Both NE RBs are hurting.

Considering that the Bills only scored 6 points against the 1-6 Jacksonville Jaguars who fielded the 30th ranked defense at the time...I'm happy the Bills won! I'm also happy New England lost to the Colts this weekend. I'll be elated should the Bills beat the Patriots IN New England next weekend.

Love to see the Patriots lose!!

Not really, they only allowed Taylor 3.9 yards per carry before that big run, now 5.9

Just goes to show what a stout run game can do...pair that with Allen and you have an unstoppable team.

OH YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hunter Henry...

Jeez, the Colts get no pressure

OMG...jeez

Colts need to run the frikkin ball for 8 min...

How did we lose to these two teams...oh yea...

we...are...spoiled...now

Oh sweet, nice PICK!@!@!
