I was at this game and I feel like with Josh playing under discipline we didn't strike any fear into them. That was our first postseason meeting with them since 13 seconds and we looked toothless by comparison. Didn't help that Diggs had checked out on the season and started pulling himself out on third downs, etc. Worse than his deep drop was his terrible fumble on the first play of the game, setting the tone that he wasn't there to compete.

Josh Allen doing Josh Allen things, and why we need it
Ray Stonada replied to Ray Stonada's topic in The Stadium Wall
I wouldn't associate his special ability so tightly with Daboll. Daboll used it (maybe best), Dorsey tried to, Brady benefits from it, but this is Josh Allen's ability which he has always had. The TD to Shavers was a throw that almost no QB's in history could make. 45-50 yard frozen rope while off balance evading the rush. From his first start against the Vikings, Josh has shown he's a unicorn. No one had EVER seen a QB leap clean over a guy. He's like Happy Gilmore back there sometimes... except a Happy Gilmore without the rage problem and with the discipline to learn all the subtleties of playing QB at the highest level. -

Great point. Stop trying to impose your will or force certain players the ball. Take what the D is offering--when it's downfield passing, we got JOSH ALLEN. -

The difference is this year our run defense is completely shot. Playing close games where the other team can run is a recipe for disaster. I feel it’s time to let it rip and put Josh and co together with our pass defense, which is far better. -

Thanks Gunner, always appreciate your thoughts. And, ha! I skipped number 3! Whoops. I totally agree with your point above... balanced offense is great in theory, but Josh needs to get into a rhythm and then he's unstoppable. I see no problem with Cook getting 20 carries a game and Josh passing/running 35 times. But up the urgency and tempo and let him go to work. PS I was in London for the Chiefs game and went to the Fitzrovia Belle (top end of Tottenham Ct Road), awesome place to watch a game... lots of Buffalonians and met lots of fun Bills fans from the UK too. -

Ps "Sunday marked Allen’s second career game with 3-plus passing TDs and three rush scores. The only other player to do so was Otto Graham in the 1954 NFL Championship Game." One guy in the history of the NFL did it, and now Josh did it twice. Think about that. The crazy thing is, Josh is such a nice guy that he accepts it when the coaches try to turn him into a practice squad QB handing off and feeding Keon Coleman and Curtis Samuel. He just says, “okay, coach” and tries his best. We love that Josh is a cool and good, but the coaches gotta recognize they have a Marvel character playing QB, not Clark Kent.- 80 replies

Last night the real Josh came out from all the low-positive, gloomy vibes of this season. The game became about him slinging it and creating and guess what: we scored 44 points. Yeah, he had two picks that turned into 3 points for TB. So what? Few points: 1) The offense we tried to play for most of the season, featuring Brady's play designs for 5 yard patterns, was boring and awful. Turning Josh into a glorified game manager is moronic and frankly depressing. Today we let Josh and to a lesser extent Cook get going, instead focusing on how to unlock Coleman by force-feeding him. Today Brady also got in a rhythm finally and made some great timely play calls. 2) No one on this offense needs the ball unless they get open... even Kincaid should not be featured. It just distracts Brady trying to serve each player their own special plays. Feature JOSH ALLEN with a hefty side of James Cook, our best most explosive players by far. Mix in downfield passes and don't forget Shake-n-bake Shakir down there. Forget the low upside plays, like WR screens--it doesn't give us numbers when the WR who would be blocking for the RB is getting the ball. Run out of the 11 formation more, so we threaten the pass, instead of letting teams know we are running with Hawes and Gilliam on the field. 4) More than the score, the game and the team felt better emotionally than it has for weeks. We left it on the field and won a game-of-the-week shootout. Our defense is not capable of holding teams, but we can get some timely turnovers and win this way much easier than playing ball control as if we had a run defense. The biggest thing is we need to clamp down on D on third-and-long--it's about making big plays and getting our O back the ball. 5) McDermott better get some beta blockers, cause this is who we need to be. This is what gives us our swagger, what makes us unique. We have the NFL's equivalent of Paul Bunyan, and a damn good running back. Let them rip. GO BILLS!
