I am in the minority here. I liked the long passes vs their cover 0 coverage. You have to trust your QB to make that throw and the WR to make a play. Additionally, I want a more explosive quick striking offense. The real issue today was execution. 

You have a point here and if Kalil catches that 54yard dime from Allen late in the 1st half the Bills would have likley gone up 24 - 9 going into the locker room.

Be happy we won despite some questionable timeouts. Win and advance all that matters.

Wonder what that nerd McDaniel was saying to McDermott after the game.  They seemed to speak a while.   Maybe I'm wrong but seemed that way. 

McDermott asked McDaniels if Tua’s back was doing better.

Oh - one of THESE threads....

Sorry, but Solak lost his chance to have his takes taken seriously when he called Allen “a parody of a first round pick” and said that if he succeeded as a QB it would overturn math itself, or words to that effect.   Pretty sure that was Solak.

He’s not entirely wrong at the aggregate level. But the reason the Bills took him so high is probably the interview and chalkboard process he showed how much of an elite competitor and worker he was. Josh has done EXCEPTIONALLY well in remaking himself as a QB, all because of his rare drive to be great. 
 

Conventionally speaking, Allen was a bad college QB on a not very good college team. Him making it like this is why someone like Will Levis is going to be taken in the first round, and it absolutely overturned the math on drafting QBs.

 

Allen is an exception to everything we know about QBs. You don’t go from a 50% college QB to a 65% NFL QB. You just don’t. Yet Allen has done it

Guys, Josh has Regressed!!! I know he had some drops, but one series explains it all. 1st and 10. Two bombs and a missed throw with game on line. Just not smart, panics when it comes down to it. So many missed throws, the third down to Shakir open over the middle. Over throws him. We are kidding ourselves to even put him anywhere near Mahomes of for that matter Burrow. Bengals smoke us next week!!  I didn’t know Daboll would mean that much

Whatever man.

God-King Xerxes, I mean Burrow, threw for 215 yards last week on 42 attempts.

Thank you.  I was going to reply the same exact thing.

 

I'm sounding like a broken record now but it's not going to change on the offense.  It's bombs away and the Bills will win or lose with it.

Knowing this is the game plan will make me feel better next week.  I won't yell at the TV no more.

yeah right 🤣

McD cements himself as being the worst game manager in NFL playoffs. Twice he called timeouts negating successful plays by the offense and defense. Actually did same thing last week. Just listened to his press conference. Not one coward in WNY media dared to ask him about his terrible timeout calls

 

JERRY JERRY JERRY! 

[BringMetheHeadofLeonLett]

Never a doubt.  No lie.

Not went up by three, late in the fourth quarter. Take short passes and runs, bring the defense up, and then play it long. If the Bills are chasing the game, then yes. Circumstances didn't ask for it today.

I get that and it's valid. However, I prefer an assertive offense. The second pass should have been a TD to Davis. Josh overthrew him. You gotta believe that Allen can execute that play.

Just plain wrong!

As I said in another thread, if we lose that game Mc Dermott deserves to be fired!! To lose a game where you are playing a third string rookie QB, is in unacceptable and deserves to be dealt with. Buffalo survives one more week but we will not go past next week. His coach today was disasterous!!

We’re on to Cincinnati.  My guess is we open as three point favorites.

I'd guess 2 vs the Bengals and 4 vs the Jags

[Turbo44]

A thing to remember - it's only about the W. Stafford threw a game ending/season ending INT with 2 mins left vs SF last year and the DB dropped it.  Next thing you know, Rams win the SB

 

Survive ...move on.  I didn't die today, though, I felt it was close, so that's a good thing.  Next up

We have receivers that can win those quick routes, and when Allen leaves the pocket often you will see Cook or Motor just standing in no man's land ready to take a shovel pass past the sticks.

 

Dorsey needs to scheme more of the former, and Allen has got to look at doing more of the latter.

 

If nothing more dumping those off to his RBs with no one around them not only will move the sticks, it will save Allen from unnecessary hits.

You’re acting like he can tell the future.  Few have that ability.

They were and they evidence is how poorly Thompson’s completion % was. He completed just 40% of his passes. A big part of that was the Dline moving home and forcing him out of his conventional reads. 

Thompson just isn’t good.
