That’s kind of a misrepresentation of todays offensive performance though. Nearly half (43%) of the offenses total yardage came in the last 3 minutes and 41 seconds of the game. For the vast majority of the game, we could not move the ball. Our drives prior to those final 3 minutes were: Punt Punt Punt Punt Touchdown Punt Punt Interception .

That’s expected in my opinion. Hyde is a safety, not a corner, and doesn’t have the speed to keep up with Ridley. McDermott had benched Elam by that point and went Cover 0.

He looked a step slow last season. He looks 3 steps slow this season. One of my favorite Bills ever but his prime is behind him. Thank you for your service Po.

Jacksonville didn’t seem to have any injury issues on it. Reminds me of the Bengals playoffs game where we were slipping and sliding all over the place but the Bengals ran just fine.

We got VERY little pass rush today. Rousseou was out, but Von Miller was in. Perhaps PFF picked up on something through 4 weeks that some of us hadn’t.

Aimee, no one said Josh was the problem and you would be hard pressed to find a bigger Allen fan than me. Talking about two underthrown passes does not mean anyone is hating on the man.

I actually don’t remember. Was he under pressure on those two throws? I took screenshots mid game.

This is not an Allen bashing thread. Please don’t turn it into one. This is a thread to talk about Allen’s tendency to underthrow this season. In this particular game, Diggs torched his defender twice, deep, and I believe that there is a good chance that both would have been TD’s if the pass hit him in stride. On both plays, Allen underthrew him, causing Diggs to stop running or slow down drastically. He has had a couple other underthrown deep passes this season - mostly on deep throws. I’m curious what you think is causing these underthrows: Do you think Allen is under-estimating how far he needs to throw it? Is it simply too far to throw? Is he not stepping into the passes? What are your thoughts? This was the INT (Diggs had several steps on the defender). And this was the deep completion to Diggs where no one covered him (he would have walked into the endzone if the ball hit him in stride).

Agreed.

I was going to ask you what you thought of our WR’s reaction to defensive leverage in this game. Sure seemed like from the broadcast that everyone outside of Diggs was in bad leverage situations and was part of the reason why the offense struggled in the first half.

Ridley last week: 2 receptions for 32 yards Ridley the previous week: 3 receptions for 40 yards Ridley the previous previous week: 2 receptions for 38 yards Ridley is a good player but let’s not pretend he is some unstoppable force. I am confident that Tre or Benford would not have allowed the game Ridley had today. Sure, there may be bigger takeaways. So go post in threads that discuss those. Why hijack a thread talking about one problem to repeatedly say “but there are other problems tooooo”?

This play sums up Elam today.

On the bench.

Nothing in the OP claimed that Elam is why we lost. You made that up. But he was certainly part of the reason. As were others.

He was routinely targeted, routinely beat, and routinely frustrated. Some fans thought he was a healthy scratch in previous games simply because Benford is better. Yeah, Benford is better… but Elam is also a bad player. They’re not mutually exclusive.

I think this makes McDermott 1-3 against Jacksonville.

I never blame refs, but something is weird with these refs today.

Enough with the draw!!

The amount to sacks the defense is missing is impressive.

We need to give Elam help. Cant keep him on an island.

Agreed. Diggs would have 3 TD’s right now with further throws.

What is up with Allen’s arm today? Second time he underthrew a Diggs TD.

Hate wasting second half timeouts. We may need that timeout.

This is currently a 15 play, 8 minute drive.
