Peyton Manning threw 6 picks in a primetime game once

[Success]

It happens to the best. 

 

Everyone is worried about Allen - don't be.  He has shown resiliency throughout his career, and has what you want in a QB:  a short memory.

 

The Jets defense is elite, and they have wrinkles which have consistently given JA problems.  That in itself IS a problem, but it doesn't indicate some wider, more overarching issue.  It was just a bad match-up to have for the 1st game of the season.

 

The Bills are going to bounce back, and have a great season.  I have no doubt on that.  The team I saw last night was better than last year's.  The defense was stronger.  We gave up some runs, but that pass rush was fierce, and our LB's and secondary looked solid. I thought Bernard had a great game.  Kincaid is who we hoped he would be.  The O-line held up pretty well against one of the best fronts in the league.  

 

The loss was solely on Allen.  And that isn't a bad thing - because he'll be better.

Josh does have a short memory. That's why he repeats the same mistakes time and time again.

Hopefully the wakeup call he actually needed to go from just saying he'll try and be better to actually doing it...

37 turnovers last 19 games. 
 

84 turnovers since 2018 to lead all active players. 
 

maybe he should have a longer memory and memorize not to do that stuff anymore.

One of the best defenses in the NFL who’s had previous success against Allen had an entire off-season to game plan for week one home opener.

Kinda reminded of the EJ Jacksonville game. Had the worst half ever, rallied us back, and then defense blew the lead.

 

obviously, Allen is at a different level than EJ but if we won that game, we all laugh it off. But Allen is a baller and I’m sure he will bounce back big time.

So the Bills didn’t have an entire off-season to gameplan against the Jets Defense?

[Brand J]

Josh has a long way to go to catch Peyton Manning in the cerebral game. And I’m confident in saying it’ll never happen, he relies on his athletic gifts too much.

Is this what they told Peterman after his first game as a starter?

you think the Jets used the entire offseason to game plan for just this game?

You're comparing Allen to Peterman?

 

I mean, what about the Josh Allen experience isn't working for everyone?  The double digit wins every year?  Carrying his team for entire games?  Looking like a video game for large stretches of the season?  Making the Bills an annual contender?

I agree with you that the Bills will bounce back and have a good season.  We will likely go 11-6 and be in the play-offs, but it sucks to lose the first one in prime time in an ugly fashion.  There was a lot of ugly football out there in week one, which has become common with the way the NFL does pre-season now. We have the talent to bounce back, and we will.

How many wake up calls does he need? Steelers 2021, Jaguars 2021, Colts 2021, Bengals 2022. Still hasn't learned.

Yes and they failed

Yeah that makes sense

No.. I’m just implying that you would say something like this to try to lift the spirits of someone who has just crapped the bed..

 

It never helped Peterman though…

So, he's had more than one bad game?

 

I'm not sure what people expect.  There aren't many QB's out there who don't lay an egg from time to time.

I pretty much agree with this. Hope we don’t meet the Jets wildcard weekend.

my biggest worry (or among the top 2-3) coming into the season was that the jets are one of our worst matchups and it could set a real bad tone out of the gate. 
 

I agree that it’s not indicative of their week to week potential but do think they need a bounce back game badly next week.
