Most people care about QBR.  But I get it.  It doesn't fit your narrative. 

Lucky bomb, what was lucky about it

Knox wasn't wide open, particularly on the pass near the end of the game. 

 

Had Allen played like he did today back in the first game the Bills would have beaten the Pats by 2 scores.  How you can be all over 2BDthrowing shade on Allen is beyond me. 

 

When he through that fade on 1st down he had Andre Roberts wide open on a shallow crossing route at the goal line.

[TwistofFate]

Denial on this board is unbelievable. 

 

Find ANYONE outside of buffalo in the sports world, who doesn't call out josh allens performance as the main reason for this loss. 

 

Find ONE. 

 

ill be happy to post every major sports outlets accessment of this game, no problem. 

 

Allen didn't cut it....period.   game on the line...in the redzone... 4 chances to tie the game... You failed.   You failed with a wide open KNOX.   

 

Everything else is irrelevant.

NFL pregame show one of the talking heads said NE was treating this like a playoff game while the Bills were acting like this was just another game.  It mattered more for NE to win.  Most likely to rest the injured players

They won't rest.  Presuming the Chiefs win out, the Pats need next week's game to lock up the number two seed and the bye.

I don’t think I have ever been as disappointed after a Pats* loss as today.  I thought we could win and change the fortunes of each franchise.  I really did. 

 

Game time comes and they blocked better and had long grinding drives.  

 

They tackled better.  

 

They made more plays. Especially on 3rd and 4th down and on their last 8 point drive. 

 

Brady was better than Allen.  Allen had some impressive moments but he missed open receivers and took sacks.  Sure, he was under more pressure but he left points on the field in every quarter.

No he wasn't.  Got a clip?

Lucky, huh? No one can take you seriously now.

What do you call it? 

 

What percentage of qbs complete that kind of pass off their back foot while being hit? 

 

Hell what is Allens percentage on a deep throw period this year?  

 

It was a lucky pass.  I don't care what you take seriously.

Look I am not tech savy  and wouldn`t begin to know where to look for it.

This about sums it up right here, hits Brown on a very difficult play luck, misses Knox by inches on another tough pass Allen's terrible. You're full of it.

 

Bills probably win the game if Josh completes a few more relatively easy balls and is able to sustain mores drives.   Bills gave Brady too many possessions.  Josh is young so he can get better.  He needs to if the Bills are to be a team that can play winning football in playoffs.

Ignore the facts?   Ignore Allen overthrowing a wide open Knox on the first drive.   Ignore his terrible pass on 3rd down to knox to tie the game.   Ignore missing a wide open Beasley multiple times.  I don't care about Qbr, i care about completion % and making the big throws when you need to win. 

 

This offense was aneimic, and a big reason was Allen not completing the wide open passes we needed. 

You seem to ignore the facts.  Defense struggled in the first half.  Allen with the deep ball got them in position to score and they did.  Tied at the half.  In the fourth the Defense squandered the lead with NE scoring 11 points.  136 yards and 10:30 off the clock.  Allen again rallied the team.  They were in position to tie it up.  Not many teams do that to NE in their house.

Obviously it was a planned route and he did complete it so give him credit

Was Gore even on the field today?  Dress Yeldon then, he was key in their first matchup.

To block.  Not one carry

I might expect Drew Brees or Payton Manning to hit his 4th receiver on that type of play under those circumstances but we have to have realistic expectations of our 2nd year project QB.

Brady's QBR today was 90, his highest since week one.  His QBR in his prior five games was 32, 38, 29, 39 and 36.  That's on our defense.

 

Could Josh had been better, of course.

Josh didn't have time to go to his 3rd read, much less his 4th

I like Bud Dupree in FA also I think Kamal Martin from Minnesota is one of the best OLBs in the draft.

I think they will go after one FA top player.  Edge rusher is a need.  Murphy is strictly back up material

119.7 to Joshs 120.6

Most disappointing to me is  that we got beat physically.
