I understand where you're coming from, but some counter points: -1182 of the Bills rush yards are from ball carriers other than Allen, and clearly the OL is involved in those -I can not find stats on how many of Josh's rush yards are designed QB runs, but it's not inconsiderable; contrary to what some think, he has not gained 706 rush yards entirely on broken play scrambles. The OL blocks and breaks him lose on a number of them, or at least draws the defense off in another direction. -On a number of key throws in games, Allen has had superb protection -On watching all-22 film, it can be seen that on a number of passing plays where Allen extends and buys time, he had an option (or more than one option) underneath that would have gotten the ball out while the OL protection still held -When Allen does extend plays or scramble, the OL continues to block for him, adjusting to where he has moved. I believe @BarleyNY critiqued this stat and had a better source, but pro-football-reference gives the Bills the 6th most "pocket time" in the league at 2.5 seconds. They define Pocket Time as "average time the QB had in the pocket between the snap and throwing the ball or pressure collapses the pocket, in seconds" Football is, and will always be, a team game. Allen is a special player, and regularly makes plays only 1 or 2 other guys can, but there is just no way Allen (or any footballer) creates an entire winning gamefull of plays all on his lonesome without help from the OL.

Edelman: Oooh, Burrrrrn I mean, at some point in his life, Jones has to have learned to tackle. And in this case, he didn't need to stick it, he just needed to hang on and slow Jones up enough to send the game to OT

McDermott said they wanted to do a walkthrough, and they would do it in a hotel ballroom if no other space were available.

Al Michaels declaiming “Perfect” when the Jets get pinned on the 1; at least pretend to be a little objective and want a bit of a game here.

Now can the Jets D finally get a stop here

LOL Zay Jones

Jets D hasn’t recovered. Still can’t tackle Not impressed by the Jets D failing to adjust, set the edge and contain Lawrence

I so badly want to see the Jets win now and FItzpatrick interview Streveler after the game. Please, football gods, Please Please

I think at this point Prime just wants to see a game

At least the Jets D got a little breather

Streveler comes over to try to push the back forward LOL

Pass was perfectly thrown, just dropped

My Goodness! Puts his shoulder down. Bam! Jags D responds “not this down, Fella”

Jets offensive demeanor completely different Pretty ticky tack holding call IMO

S. O. J. ???

Gifted them 2 picks and a missed FG. “Only Josh Allen can beat the Bills” Hamlin and Johnson at safety and Terrel Bernard at LB strong contributing factors Also, Zack Wilson had not been irretrievably broken at that point. That happened the following week vs. NE. The Hoodie is still in the business of crunching up young Jets QBs and stealing their souls

I can’t entirely blame Wilson when his whole OL is getting shoved back into his lap like that, but why didn’t he take the open guy who was right there and could probably have gotten 10-12 yds, make it more manageable 3rd down, don’t just throw a prayer up there

I was just thinking that very thing

Exactly. And the nose.

I still think Trevor Lawrence looks like a horse.

I hate it when they’re making the HC chatter while the game action has begun Jets simply can’t run tonight Can’t throw either, apparently Jesu, Wilson, you could run for it, it’s 4th and 1

Salah looks dispirited.

That’s my question LOL

Who TF is Alice? Matt Wilson? Usually don’t split the Gameday threads for other teams
