    I'm not sure what is confusing.  There were plenty of his incompletions or scrambles where they didn't get the first down...and there were guys wide open underneath or even just past the sticks.  Check out a replay of the game or the All-22 and you will see it.

    He threw 12 incompletions one of which was a tipped int and quite a few were thrown away under heavy pressure so I can't imagine how many plays you're talking about.  Dude had a great game and his team let him down

    Oh, wow.  I appreciate your view, but I do have a problem with it.

     

    Make it: have a chance to score a TD for the win, or if stopped, take a FG as long as we maintain possession

    Miss it: walk off loss

     

    The Titans had already stuffed Allen on short yardage today, I say take the FG

     

     

    Either decision was right... titans could've won the toss and steamrolled us in overtime too..we didn't stop them at all in the second half really.  Qb sneak on 4th and inches with Josh allen has gotta be like 75% chance of success but it didn't work out

    Allen was overconfident again, often taking chances when better/safer options where there.  Offensive line was, is, and will continue to be a weakness.  The O-line looks good against bad D-units, but will almost always struggle against above average D-units, just like last year.  

    The Defense was never 'great'. They are 'good' but their results are more a function of who they played.

    These takes on Allen are genuinely confusing me...he had one play where he thought Davis was gonna open up deep and the weak side safety came over to help and he took a sack...that was it. That throw to sanders who beat double coverage was a good decision he just missed him it happens

    I can’t believe a running back can be this good in 2021. Dude carries the team. I don’t care what anyone says, Tannehill is still garbage, while Henry is a once in a lifetime talent. 

    He has huge holes 75% of the time..im not saying he's not good but I dont think they'd miss much with someone else back there

    3rd down play Josh needed to stay in the pocket.  Maybe move to his left a little bit to open the receiver.  He would have hit Beasley for a first.   Instead he moved right and threw into a covered WR. 
     

    Those few feet were the difference to throwing to a receiver Josh could have gotten it to, versus a covered receiver.

    Yea pressure is cumulative its a lot like week one where he just didn't have confidence in his offensive line

    They are just selling out to attack around the line of scrimmage, no runs and no scrambles are easy, I don't understand why dabol sunk that drive playing into the teeth of the d

    Some of this stuff could be reads by allen too we don't really know if it's on daboll

    No.  They got bored and sloppy.  They are very good.  That offense will adapt and they will get 11 wins.  Defense will improve a bit as well.  Without the turnovers I think our game is a lot closer.

    What is bored lol a player is always playing for their next contract and has absolutely every reason to have a great game every week.

    Josh seems to be a very polarizing figure in the media and while he is adored by the fan base, at times you see the that polarizing effect even leak out into Bills fans when he plays poorly. I’m trying to understand that more. While I might drop a stat or two, in my opinion stats almost muddy the waters even more.

     

    As an example, last year, Josh was had several games where he carved teams up and put up QBR's as good as it gets. But if you said describe Josh in one word, I think the last word I would choose would be “efficient”.

     

    If you asked me to describe most the legends in the QB annuals in the last 20-30 years, I would say efficient would be the most common word used. Brady, Montana, Young, Brees, Manning, “efficient” just dominates your mind when you hear those names. They had a robot-like consistency and that is what we have come to visualize when looking at the greats.

     

    More recently you see guys like Mahomes who I would also not call “efficient” as far as the first word to describe them. Perhaps, “talented or unique”. Mahomes is pretty consistent in his play, but it’s what he does that so few can that makes you scratch your head. He is also a Super Bowl winner and former MVP, so if he appears inconsistent once in awhile benefit of the doubt is given.

     

    If I described Josh in one word it would be “winner”. He is probably the most physically talented QB in the NFL but I feel his drive to just win games is even greater than his talent. At times he can go stretches looking awful and that's what confuses people . Then he does something nobody can, not even Mahomes. Then he leaps a defender gaining 20 yards on the ground. A few hours later you look at the score and we put up 35 points and think, Allen probably could have played even better. With Allen, he will always produce points, because even when he looks inconsistent, he can still become Houdini by air or land at any moment and he is the 2nd most impactful running QB in the NFL. 

     

    To me Josh fits the term “winner” more than any QB in the NFL at this time. That said, Josh has not won the big one.  Justifiably so, it’s hard to anoint him as the ultimate “Winner” until that time comes. Until then he seems to be stuck in this efficient ideology of NFL’s QB’s and if that shifts, he then goes to competing against a Super Bowl winning former MVP who is the only guy that can even come close to replicating some of the plays you might see from Allen week to week.

     

    Josh is not a normal QB. I don't think he will ever just unload for 5 yards unmercifully breaking your will like his predecessors. As for his sham wow ability, he probably is the top guy, but he's also getting compared to a MVP with a ring. That said nobody will ever convince me Mahomes wants it more or is as tough as Allen. Allen will run through your DT's. He isn't a Brett Farve comp, Brett Farve is a Josh Allen Comp. Farve, even with his stupid arm strength is still less physically gifted and he certainly couldn't run 1/10th as effective as Allen can. 

     

    It might be hard for Allen to carve out a true identity which makes people question how good he really is. It unlikely he ever gets the efficiency label applied like many former legends have. That said once the SB rings come, It will be much easier to just label him for what he is. A winner. 

    We have played pretty conservative with big leads this year and hes had his fair share of bad weather games and hes still putting up great stats.  People just look at completion percentage and decide whether a qb is good or bad lol it's ridiculous.  You can't compare joshs stats this year to someone like Herbert's who has been in 5 close games in good weather.

    They have the number 1 scoring offense....and they aren't clicking? Not satisfied? 

    SMH

     

    Lol people forget that half our games have been in bad weather/high winds and our starters have sat out 2 or 3 quarters so far because we were blowing the other team out.  I think we're better than last year offensively

    The 3rd quarter could have been the rain delay...and the rain.  But I agree that this offense still hasn't played their best ball yet.

    Weren't we notoriously bad in third quarters last year lol not to mention one missed third down conversion that quarter was diggs getting held like crazy
