White played 61% of snaps, and I saw him maybe twice all game? Guy is getting back to his old form

I don’t understand why Travis Kelce isn’t in the running for MVP. He’s on pace for 1400 yards and 17 tds. I honestly think he is the most impactful player this year.

Allen is injured, clearly missing throws because of his injury, but plays each week because he is a dawg. That’s not shown in the data. Poyer is playing each week with a bum arm, because he is a dawg. Missing 2-3 games this season instead of 6-8 like he should. Davis has dealt with Ankle issues this season, but is toughing it out because he is a dawg edmunds has been dealing with stuff. Milano has been dealing with stuff. Phillips, Oliver Rousseau etc If guys sat each time they were hurt, we would be closer to 110 games honestly. But guys know we need wins, so they are playing hurt to try to push results

Allen misses a slot receiver that he trusts on third down and option routes. We hope Shakir can be that guy, but damn Allen just feels he has to push the ball downfield, or he has to go to the RBs

The real problem is we don’t play in the NFC

Scoring leaders average 30 points a game. Bills have statistically a great defense. If we put up 24+ (league average offense), our defense should hold and we should win. Unfortunately our secondary is thin so they have struggled to stop top receiving threats

Offense put up 30 points. I said this earlier in the year, if our offense puts up 23+ points, we should win a game. Offense put up 27 before the last second field goal to push it to OT

I dont agree with that. We are USUALLY good in situational football. We have had lapses in execution during nuanced situations, but people have taken 2-4 bad things over the past 3 years and have labelled us "horrible in situational football". I'd love to know 10+ times this season we have been bad in situational football. Then I would consider "horrible in situational football".

We are out 3 pro bowl/all-pro players in the secondary. That is absolutely hurting us. Its an excuse as to why QBs are able to throw up 50/50 balls and actually complete most of them. This game isnt even close if we have Poyer and White playing

In hindsight yes, but that QB sneak has been 3-6 yards per in all situations this year

That QB sneak play has been spectacular all season. It didnt work here, but it's been picking up 3-6 yards a clip all season.

Maybe in Peewee... But in the NFL, players have an expectation to make at least a semi-cognizant decision. Its 4th and 18, your coach doesnt need to walk to every player saying "this is your role on this play". You dont think Mcd's preaching ball security in crucial situations during practice? The Bills have done a fantastic job coaching Allen to what he is now, but Allen has been prone for years trying to play hero ball. He deserves blame for his mistakes. Morse is a quality center, but he and Allen absolutely did not execute at the goaline. That play is on the players. Its naive to think the coaches dont coach general smart practices (ball security, bat down balls, take whats given to you). But the players HAVE. TO. EXECUTE. And they aren't

This team is missing its talent in the secondary. Not having Poyer/Hyde/White for all of or most of the year is hurting our ability to handle top receivers and TEs. Benford is losing guys in zone, and although he is physical he cant stay in man Jackson doesnt turn his head to the QB, and is holding all over the place Lewis/Johnson cant take angles to save their lives They caused the first TD, the 4th and 18, and a PI on 3rd and 22 that was a complete lack of awareness. If the Bills can get healthy come playoff time, with White/Poyer/Elam, we have a chance to make a run. But not with the players on the field right now

Coaching staff cant go out on the field and bat down the ball on 4th and 18. Coaching staff can't go out on the field and stop the muffed snap. Coaching staff cant tell Allen to take the play up the middle in OT rather than throwing behind Davis for the INT. You can even go further, Coaching staff cant get Poyer/White/Elam/Hyde healthier. They are working with 2 5th round CBs and a 7th rounder. And the Bills have lost 3 games by a COMBINED 8 points. In an alternate reality we are 9-0. Its unfortunate, but this team is just making mistakes when it hurts the most. And we havent been healthy since week 2.

Imagine new era field when Allen steps out for the first drive of the game. That place is going to go nuts

What the hell

The reasons the blogger lists are: 1) Being on a boat on an off day 2) Punching a hole in a door after losing a playoff game in Green Bay 3) Alleged pictures with dugs when he was with a French model 4) Not finding chemistry with Mayfield in Cleveland 5) His dad posting poor passes from Baker on social media 6) Injuries So let's address one by one, 1) It was an off day - WITH other teammates.... cmon now. Beckham went 4 for 28 that game, but the Giants were outmatched all across the field. McD preaches letting players be players, if he wanted to be on a boat with teammates as we geared for a playoff game but had an off day, that's a non story for me 2) Punching a hole - We love Allen's fight and his reactions, why hate Odell's? 3)French Model fling w/ drugs - no charges, no investigation from the league..... no issues here. I'm jealous more than anything 4) Not finding chemistry with Mayfield - honestly, who has? Mayfield has shown to struggle in the NFL, and is maybe a low end starter. And that Browns team? Jesus they were rough and poorly coached 5) Fathers tween about Baker - We must hate Diggs too, because he was having issues with Minny and took it to Twitter (in a cryptic way...) I have confidence Odell will love Allen as his QB 6) Injuries - he is healing up now, and this is a no loss move if we bring him in now under the cap. So I dont really see how these issues would stop Beane from getting Odell to help this team.

There is no way Allen is going to tweet about his own injury status. He knows better and the team does as well. He may just say something positive ala Hyde after the diagnosis comes out from the team/insiders. Allen will stay hum on the topic until the team decides he can be more open.

If Keenum plays the next 3 games, I think we go 2-1. That Detroit defense is a disaster. Would be like the Seahawks game a few years ago. And please give me Brisset against our defense. He has always struggled playing against us. Vikings in our barn is the biggest ? that I can think of. Could we move the ball and score more than 20 points? If we can, I think we win.

we also say Keenum in preseason, with less than ideal weapons and short time to learn the offense. I dont want Keenum to start, but our defense will give him a chance to win games and he has had a half a season to pick up the offense.

My thought? He isn't inactive at any point this week. He might backup Keenum, and if we are in a hole, bring in the horse to manage pain and get the team the W

If this Bills team plays the football they are capable of, AND key injuries stop (we win that game yesterday if Poyer and Milano play, and we absolutely win against Miami if Poyer plays) we are still the best team in the league. Bar none. Mahomes the best QB by a large margin? Come on man lets stop with nonsense. The league is tight this year, I wouldn't be surprised if KC and the Bills both lose again before the playoffs.

Milano and Poyer out mattered more than anything else in this game. They took advantage of Jaquan all day, and Bernard couldn’t make some of the reads Milano would be able to when attacking downhill.

If the Bills kick the field goal instead of Allen throwing the puck to Jaire and we win 30-17 does anyone really care? the bills only allowed 17 points… they haven’t allowed more than 21 all year. This defense has played against Rodgers Mahomes Lamar Henry Kupp Hill Waddle…. This Jets team doesn’t have a single weapon close to those guys. Do they put up some points? Sure. But I’m projecting 40-17 type of game

This offseason the top 2 positions to fix were D-Line and RB (maybe O-Line as well) We added Miller on the outside, but that's really it. We run Basham, Epenesa, Rousseau, Lawson on a rotation along with Miller on the edge. You bring Allen in? I think he is an upgrade on everyone but Miller. A motivated Allen on this team? If you could trade a mid round pick for him, it immediately adds an impact player
