I agree 100%. If some fans can't see the obvious then I say screw them. I'm beginning to worry that Allen is on the path to become the next Mathew Stafford but with a couple of playoff wins. He will put up great numbers and everyone will admit he's an elite QB but the surrounding talent will be weak.

Maybe we need to consider that with the exception of Diggs EVERYONE else on the Offense around Allen is average (Beasley/Davis) to below average (everyone else). We don't have big physical WR's that can contest balls in the end zone or block for the running game or quick WR screen throws. We have a TE that is hot & cold in a way that the better TE's in the NFL are not. Our RB's are a joke. How many times do we have to watch games where BIGGER and FASTER and SHIFTIER RB's then our 3 are on display? And again Allen led the Bills in rushing and had the longest run.

I call BS here. Clutch always takes more then one player. That Allen had the Bills in the Red Zone twice late was clutch. The problem was that NO ONE on the offense came up big at those points. We saw signs last year that the Bills depended to much on Allen. This year it's been worse. Frankly, we resemble Seattle in that regard. And unlike KC which righted the ship because of a superior organization, we are facing tough times going forward. I'm beginning to wonder if Allen isn't going to become with new Mathew Stafford. Great numbers and obviously supremely talented but nothing around him.

Absolutely. And anyone who complains about Allen's play tonight, oh look in super slow motion Allen should have seen this open WR when running for his life, is a fool. I'm actually in awe of how well he threw the ball tonight. Three huge drops and the failure to make a great catch in the end zone by Knox (I won't call that a drop but a great play there and we win the game) cost us the game.

I was talking to friends while watching the game and the one thing they commented on was how Allen almost never has time to throw. The stats that claim he has so many seconds are complete analytics BS. They simply reflect Allen's ability to extend plays.

They should have done that in the 1st quarter when they had the wind at their back. Again the Bills brain trust completely screwed up the tactical & strategic part of the game. Lost in tonight's game was just how well Allen threw the ball. If you add in the 3 bad drops, he would have had over 200 yards and at least 2 TD throws. An amazing performance given the conditions.

I have officially joined the Bean/McD skeptic crowd. Sure they have lifted Buffalo from being a total disaster into a competitive team but their miscues going into this season have been noticeable. Tonight we lost because our team is not built to win in Buffalo or to compete with the Pats. And whose fault is that? Bill's management. During the off season we signed a clever vet WR who ran good routes while ignoring the O-line, TE and RB. We threw all our resources and draft capital at fixing the D-line and look what we got, a line that could not stop the run when we knew they were going to run. IMO Allen, who is even better then we think, has hid a host of problems on the offense and in the coordinator's room. I'm still hoping this team can claw it's way into the playoffs for continuity's sake.

From a timing standpoint and assuming this is a gust front it will be much better in a couple of hours after it passes - right?

No QB is really stellar in bad weather games. The key is to be less bad then the QB on the other team.

I think this is spot on. One of the advantages of effective run first offenses is the deep strike play action pass. This kills defenses that successfully stop the run by overloading the box. In fact back in the day most of the great QB's got their yards and TD's off play action and ball handling (hiding that it wasn't a run) was as prized back then as mobility is today.

I remember that. It was like dude get over it Allen had a bad game it happens. The Allen hate by some of these guys is really amazing. I just don't get it. Allen is personable, talented and not a Richard on the field so what's their beef? It's odd because by his actions and attitude I just don't see what's so polarizing about Allen.

The NFL media desperately wants NE to be relevant again. It's what they've gotten used to over the last 20 years. The Pats are hot and their rookie QB is exceeding expectations. Just listen to a random 30 minutes on Sirius NFL channel to hear the Patriot love. Only the Cowboys match it. And lets face it there is a growing belief that the greatest sports ***** of all time is now within reach: A Tom Brady led Tampa Bay taking on Bill Belchick and the NE Patriots. These people would sell their first born to see that happen. So it's on the Bills to derail the hype train.

Not upset, just annoyed. As an aside, it was Fox with that graphic and if you haven't noticed they seem to have a larger number of Bills & Allen critics then the other NFL broadcast channels. On Thanksgiving day two of the five Fox pregame guys picked NO to beat the Bills.

He was knocked on his butt.

I disagree. On that play the pass rusher was looking at #45 and modified his rush to avoid the block. By definition that is not a blind side block.

I agree. And I no longer rule out corruption. How an NFL ref could flag that play and then the cretins not hold a meeting to pick the flag up is beyond comprehension.

Damn the NFL and damn the incompetent garbage the NFL puts out as officials. That was the worst call I've seen in years. What the hell was #45 supposed to do. I have come to hate the clowns in stripes.

Day to day I would say that the weather in Boston is better then Buffalo in December. So it's a bit apples & oranges as to where they decide to practice. I doubt Belechik is outdoors if the weather sucks. And why do you say the Bills don't play well in bad weather? They played very well against Houston & KC which was the worst weather they played in.

In defense of McD the idea is to get the game plan installed. And that's easier to do inside then outside in bad weather. Also, was the weather in Orchard park bad enough to mimic what might be happening Monday night? If not then there really isn't much of an advantage to practicing outside.

Okay so let's say the weather forecast is right and Orchard Park is hit with Snowmageddon. Winds are gusting to 55 mph and heavy snow is falling. Can we all agree that there isn't going to be much of a passing game? But what little passing there will be would favor the Bills and their strong armed QB. And while the Pats have a better running game they don't have a stud RB. So the difference could come down to which of the two QB's can run the ball. Under these conditions the safest plays will be QB runs up the middle and around both ends. And which QB has an advantage if the game devolves into this? I would say Allen and it's not close.

It's Thursday and everyone is freaking out by a weather forecast for Monday. Am I missing something here? What's their batting average for accurately predicting the weather 4 days out IN DECEMBER!

Hapless, I read the article and they talk about 10 days but what is the earliest they can clear the vaccinated protocol? What % of players can be back on the field in 5 days or less? If we assume the clock started today then Monday is only 5 days away. So that 20% number is probably way to high if you drop the time from 10 to 5 days - right?

I actually think there might be some honesty in Belichick's comments here. For one, Allen's improvement has been remarkable and I'm sure Belichick sees it. And if you go back to last years draft there's a reason Belichick and the Pats used a 1st round pick to select a QB - and that reason is Josh Allen.

Are you serious here? So the return of Brown, Star and Mongo isn't going to help the Bills? Come on man if you're going to troll you have to do better then this. Yea but Dion was in the hospital with a serious case of the covid. There have been no reports that these two even got very sick from covid. And in the case of Brown, who was dealing with a back/knee injury, the couple of weeks off may actually prove to be beneficial.

Damn, the Bills can't get back to practice soon enough. I mean hear we are arguing over what the weather will be like in Buffalo, in DECEMBER, a week ahead of time. We might as well be arguing about how many fat angels can dance on the head of a pin for all the good it will do us.
