Never did I say Allen couldn't get back to playing well or like last year. I acknowledged it was only a 2-4 game stretch of Allen playing poorly. I stated other issues like the Oline and lack of run game contributed to Allen being mediocre at best. That Allen has a relative small sample size of being great and he may regress or is regressing. Sorry, I think many hear don't like hearing this and label it as extreme. Extreme to me us saying Allen sucks and the Bills won't win anything with him at the QB. Extreme is not acknowledging poor QB play, mechanics, accuracy, etc. Extreme is not acknowledging when a QB is playing well. 1 1

Diggs is getting all the attention so having a consistent #2 that does a little bit of everything is critical. Agreed. I was skeptical about Sanders after the 1st game. But he is building a good rapport with Josh Allen and it is showing up in the last two games

They may not have practiced that in over a month due to the limited amount of practice time today. Instead they spend their time working on things that happen at a more frequent rate. Not an excuse, just reality. It wasn't just a short kick either, was more a tweener, between two levels of players and both kind of likely assumed the other would get it and likely also with players not normally handling the ball as much. I do wonder if that kick was actually planned by Washington, or just the result of the kick getting held up in the wind and ending up a high short one? I’m fairly sure it was due to a wind gust. I mean you don’t voluntarily risk giving Allen good field position when there’s lightning shooting out of his a$$. I’m mostly inclined to give credit to the kicker for being super aware - he’s a vet and shows it. There’s a few odds and ends going on with ST though 1
balln Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 one thing. im shocked. WSH didnt test Levi deep. prob a function of wind, heine arm, and what bills D were doing

There’s a few odds and ends going on with ST though I was sitting in 338 on West side near that end zone and saw it perfectly from my level. I really thought at first it was a set play..it landed so perfectly. Maybe top spin or something. But when Bass kicked off second half it died again and went out of bounds. Like the wind just grabbed it and pushed it down. That's when I realized it must have been the wind. It's actually a great play though. If a team worked on topping the ball into an open area down the field 30 years to surprise teams its more likely to succeed than an onside kick. Theres a guy deep then maybe 2 guys there and lots of open space. It looked so easy. 1
Wyobills89 Posted September 27, 2021 Posted September 27, 2021 Saw the Diggs and young jersey swap. Did anyone notice if Allen and chase roullier have an exchange at all after the game? Was his center at UW

He played great today. It was a thing of beauty. It's been too long since he's played that good. Looks like Allen and the offense have their mojo back. Let's hope they get on a roll. I expect the same vs the lowly Texans. The real test will be at KC and at Tenn. Two places that are very difficult to win at. Right now, let's just enjoy this win and Allen's great play. 1 1 3

Check the Miami post game thread for examples.

Imho, the negative criticism was deserved. May I remind you that D. Jones on the road shredded the Wash defense too. Not trying to take anything away from Allen. He deserves the positives for today's performance. I'm not about to apologize for having concerns about how Allen was playing. After 2 games, there was plenty of red flags. You call Jones throwing for 249 yards shredding Washington defense?😂 Good lord. This week you would've been calling calling for Josh's head had he thrown for that today. Don't worry about the perception of taking anything away from Josh, you can't, as he had more than that by halftime. Struggling for the first 2 games of the year after an MVP caliber season doesn't warrant the discussion of red flags. Especially in a year when the starters only played 1 half of football together in the preseason. Clearly there was some rust to knock off from the OC, QB and most importantly the OL. IMO you were way too overboard with your "hot takes" and fail to see it/admit it. 1 1
