Yeah Allen needs to be more willing to take the check down or short option when it is there. He has figured this out before but every few weeks he has to be reminded.

The thing with that style though is you better be really good in the red zone and make no mistakes. The Bills play an aggressive offense because big play (20+ yards) differential is one of the biggest indicators of win/loss percentage. That being said we definitely need to find a better balance. Pick up enough chunk plays on short passes and the defense will creep up.

Outside of Diggs, who is playing better this year than I've ever seen him, we got next to nothing out of our weapons today. Allen was both the primary issue on offense today AND the only reason we were able to move the ball and score. That's a big problem. Our RBs couldn't rip off big runs, we had zero screen game, no big run after the catch on a single completion. Making Davis the #3 won't increase his production necessarily but it will increase the production of the passing offense as a whole. In fact I think it's arguable he would see his own production increased because we can use him in his preferred role as a vertical only WR who takes advantage of openings created by our other weapons.

Allen obviously played his worst game of the season today, but it's a little disconcerting that we have no one on offense to step up for him. Maybe Hines can be that guy or maybe we'll actually go out and sign OBJ. QBs sometimes have below average games and their team still finds a way to win. With the Bills that NEVER happens.

Game on the line, Allen managed to drop a 60 yard pass in the bucket on 4th and 21. We need better than this from our supposed #2 WR. And I don't want to hear complaints about a missed DPI, Davis also pushed off a bit so I'm fine with the refs letting them play on this one. He simply has to make the catch.

I'll feel a lot better about us going on a run to lock up the #1 seed if the following things happen, in order of importance: 1) Get Tre White back in the lineup. We cannot run the defense we want without our #1 CB on an island. 2) Sign OBJ. I don't care if we have to restructure contracts and sacrifice the future a bit. We need a true all around #2 WR. Get him here and ramp him up to hopefully be fully integrated into the offense by December. 3) Defense needs to get healthy. We're already undermanned without Hyde, losing Milano and Poyer and Rousseau is too much attrition to make up for when our offense has an off day. 4) Get Hines acclimated and start punishing defenses for backing off. We started doing this with Cook more today and it was working. Hines has elite speed so that brings another plus factor to that part of our offense. If we aren't able to make some of those changes fast then the #1 seed, possibly even the division, will slip away from us.

This is such an obvious no-brainer move we need to make, just like trading for Hines was. Diggs is currently playing the part of our #1 AND #2 WR. You can't have a passing offense that's that reliant on one man.

No doubt. It's time to admit that we don't have a true #2 WR on the roster. Davis had an AWFUL game. He has shown himself to be nothing more than a role player.

The first INT he admitted in his post game presser he did not see the DB behind the rusher in his line of vision. The 2nd INT he called a "brain fart" which is vague enough to leave room for interpretation. He should have had a 3rd INT on a ball that he forced to Diggs when Shakir was wide open for a 1st. Overall Allen just never looked comfortable after the first INT. He needs to get his mind right this week.

Of course adding a true #2 WR will help. We don't have one on the roster right now, thats the reality.

He did. If you get Allen off his spot more than a few times he starts to crumble. That go route to Diggs on the 2nd to last drive he has hit in his sleep this year. When Allen isn't confident in what he's seeing it gets really bad. Not time to be overly concerned yet. If this continues next week I will hit the panic button.

Not even close. The only person on offense that played consistently great football was Diggs. On defense we are down a bunch of starters. We needed more players including our star QB to make big plays in critical moments.

I don't know if Allen just got lazy in his reads or what but he was not seeing the field well today. Both picks and the one that should have been a pick he had other options available. I just hope he can shake it off like he did after his mid-season slump last year. Davis is NOT a #2. Let's call it what it is. He had 2 huge drops today including one at the end where he could have been the hero.

Aw man he actually could have caught that

I don't think we were outcoached at any level. On defense we have too many injuries. On offense the only people that came to play are Diggs and Cook. This was by far a failure of the players.

No way we overlooked a divisional opponent. Allen just inexplicably played like crap today. We can afford for him to have one stinker but coming off of last week's 4th quarter it is concerning. I don't know what needs to happen but he has to pull it together.

Run defense is frustrating, but we have a ton of injuries on defense. We needed Allen to step up today and he instead horribly regressed. I'm already over this game, just hoping Allen shakes this off and gets back on track. His inability to see the field today is inexplicable.

What in the world? Shakir was wide open there.

Noooo what is Allen doing?? Awful timing for him to suddenly regress.

Phew Von Miller just changed the momentum of this game. That's why we paid him.

I'm still not over the interception that wasn't. That sort of play has to be reviewed. Edmunds was on the ground with sole possession of the ball.

Ugh that is frustrating. I swear Edmunds had sole possession.

That's ridiculous, Edmunds clearly had the ball. It wasn't a simultaneous catch.

We need Tre.

That TD drive happened because they called the defense too aggressively. You can't just make up a generic reason when we're all here watching the game.
