Allen has been beaten up in the last 3 games. I am honestly surprised he is still upright. A couple of those shots in the last two weeks he has taken were really violent hits where he was completely exposed. If he makes mistakes I imagine it is because he is not trusting things around him whether that's the line, the receivers, backs, tight ends or the play call..It probably all is leading to hesitation. I have to think it starts with the shots he has been taking. With Philly, KC, Dallas and miami on the schedule still if this continues he is going to miss time. Those teams are big, physical and fast on defense. The Bills offense needs to go out and have a great game thursday and then regroup and make teams scared of their ability to score in bunches again.

He is like 7th or 8th in touchdowns by Tight Ends over the last couple years. he has accounted for 21 td's in his career....Now he is of no value and can't play?

Yes but that is not the same as playing on the line of scrimmage in the 12 personnel they spent all offseason working on to improve the running game, protect allen better and be an overall more physical team. now they have to ditch it and go empty half the game? Even if you want them in 11 personnel which i can understand Allen has taken a beating the last few weeks. He is not going to make it through the season throwing the ball 40 times a game. The Jags, Giants and Pats beat the hell out of him. Its a miracle he is not injured already or should I say more injured.

how. They want to run the ball and play more physical upfront with two tight ends. They spent the entire offseason working on it. Now they are without the veteran who has been in every situation possible. I just cant see how this is good.

we will not have the team that beat the dolphins again this season. The middle of the defense has been gutted and the top corner is gone which will be huge next time they play miami. We have seen it two weeks in a row already. The giants and bills just ran straight ahead and the bills couldn't stop it in their base defense until they had to change to stop it. With jones and milano the were able to stop that stuff in their base D. This defense just played two horrible qb's and they both had this defense clinging for life all game. When this team plays Cincy, KC, Philly, Dallas and miami again they might get blown out because of the deficiency in the middle of the defense and the quality of those teams running games and offensive lines. I was waiting to see how teams would attack this defense now and we saw it two weeks in a row from two horrible offenses, they dictated the game up front. Throw in whatever is wrong on offense and now teams that in the past that would take high risk plays on third and fourth down are just playing it safe because they know buffalo cant score because something is wrong. It just feels like because of the defense though the bottom could potentially fall out here. They have to win thursday and then over the break figure out the problem on offense. Hopefully they make some sort of trade to help either at WR, CB or DT. They have that extra 3 so this is the year to use it.

its early in the season for this and if they lose thursday there is nowhere else to turn. This as you said though is usually the start of a bunch of bad things....which honestly everything has been bad since white went down late in the dolphins game. Its been one thing after another.

I saw the buffalo plus people talking about this and I can't imagine why they think this? McDermott has a staff of people with minimal experience and he is calling the defense. Instead of adding experience and proven veteran coaches to the staff they removed one. Its all on McDermott. IMO he is in no position to be firing people right now. Its sink or swim for the whole staff the rest of the way this season. Unless the players are complaining internally about Dorsey but even then that is a whole different can of worms. The team needs to play better or no one is coming back from this staff, the head coach taking over defensive playcalling and in the first 7 weeks losing to Zach Wilson and Mac Jones and getting lucky to beat tyrod taylor irregardless of injuries tells me this team has problems firing the offensive coordinator with no in house replacement will not solve. adding talent at the deadline might bring some new energy to a team that seems to be going through the motions at times.

well this helps save a really bad day.

actually he seems like a great fit. his contract says he is not getting traded and if he was it won't be to buffalo's cap situation.

he looked pretty average. It seems with every rush he just allowed the tackle to walk him up the field behind the quarterback. It was like he had no ability to run past a tackle last night except on one play where taylor was moving immediately to his left in the pocket. These were the two worst offensive tackles this team will play all season so this was a real bummer watching it live. Hopefully I am wrong.

absolutely. just like it was on Davis in the first quarter and was missed. The giants media is incredibly whiney this morning about it which I can understand. They seemed to give an effort they have not given all year since this was obviously really important to Daboll and Schoen, no matter what they say. So losing in that fashion is really tough. The giants all year to me have had an extremely glass jaw. They came back against arizona but that was arizona screwing up as much as the giants making plays. The rest of the year the giants have essentially pouted to the sidelines and just hung their heads every week. Last night they came in looking for a fight and got one. I am pulling for the Giants to play better going forward and win some games particularly the jets game so I hope they bring this street fight mentality the rest of the way.

i would like to add that von miller looked pretty pedestrian tonight...hopefully that changes soon

its not how it's how many. this team has to play better going forward. now they need another running back. every week players go down and its crazy.

good lord carrie underwood is awful. how is she still a thing?

and if the eagles let them score on third down? He was right. Its the smarter play and they were lucky they got away with it.

The Autumn wind is a raider.

We are going to find out early what kind of game this is when buffalo tries to run inside. If they are able to do it they should score a ton tonight, if they can not then Allen is going to have to beat all kinds of blitzes tonight. The giants pass rush should be pretty left handed tonight so he should be able to get out and run a lot if he wants.

well 3 from there is as easy as a kick gets. They also could have run in it for a touchdown on 3rd down having made philly burn their timeouts already. It was a mistake and they got away with it.

he was right. They could have made philly use both timeouts and then ran it down and kicked the field goal. Its the smart play. If hurts was not so inept he wouldhave made them pay, but he is a bus driver who gets really jumpy when hit.

I'm nursing a cold and have some work to finish this morning but I can't wait for tonight. I am really excited to see how daboll tries to attack the bills defense. The giants are not good enough to give us an idea of how teams will do this going forward but we might see a little of it. Tyrod taylor likes to take deep shots when he plays and the giants have a couple of guys that can really run so I am interested in if he can get the time to do that. on offense buffalo should move the ball at will. The only hang up could be the giants interior and lb okereke causing problems and getting the bills into third and long and then NY will bring everybody. On paper that is a recipe for allen to have a 350+ yard game but pro sports are weird and you never know what is going to happen. here is to an injury free game.

Going to be a wild game. I just read on the internet danny devito might play qb for ny this week. i could be confusing names though....

yea any corners not already on a roster or practice squad have faults of some kind. They can't burn a roster spot on a bad player from a practice squad at the moment so its a familiar veteran. still didn't think it would be someone who the league retired years ago essentially though

Well this is just more bad news but at least this week they are at home and are playing a team that is allergic to scoring points. So if this team is all banged up this week, they will probably only have to score 17 to win. The Giants secondary is a mess so Allen/diggs should have another big day. just get the win somehow and start getting healthy.
