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.

 

 

Josh's egg laying is excessive compared to physical ability. It's also two competitive games in a row (three out of four including pre season) where he has looked shocking.

Josh is way more Cam Newton than Peyton Manning. That’s our problem, we are trying to make this guy something he’s not. We shouldn’t even be slinging it all over. You got to start designing the offense around his skill set. Stop putting him in position to throw us out of games.

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.

 

bills 45

Raiders 13

 

Well, the Raiders are trash so we will likely beat them and that might make some people feel better.

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.  

honestly, walking out of that week with a loss but Rodgers out for the season probably did more for our playoff chances than winning but Rodgers being 100% if being totally practical. If we win 11-12 games it between us and the dolphins instead of a 3 horse race. 
 

Obviously want the win last night but in some grim silver lining the path to the division is easier today than it was last week.

As it should.. regular season is about stacking Ws.. not winning a superbowl week one.

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

He's a deep sleeper

The regular season is about a tacking Ws and getting the team where it needs to be for a SB run in the playoffs. Hopefully they start doing both very soon.

I'm feeling better as the day goes on.

 

Facing the Jets D in the 1st game was a great test. It was one we failed, and Josh certainly failed - they have been kind of a nemesis for him.  But I think it will serve him & the team better moving forward.  The teams coming up on the schedule in the next few weeks simply won't be like that.  I think the offense is going to look completely different in the next few games & beyond.

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.

Yep. Yesterday was the last straw in terms of thinking Josh has what it takes. Until I see improvements on the mental side of the game, there is no hope for a Super Bowl.

They need to be at their best in dec Jan Feb.. not Sept 11th

 

45-13 Bills destroy the Raiders

Big difference with the thread title. Manning threw 6 ints in his ROOKIE SEASON.

I will feel better when I see that things got fixed. Also I disagree that is was some great test. It wasn’t. It was relatively easy to win this game with Rodgers out and Zach Wilson in. All it would have taken was Allen just playing smart and taking what the Jets defense gave him. We’d have won easily, if unspectacularly. It would have been a boring, low scoring game with few highlight plays. And the Jets would not have had a chance to win 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. 

The only tape he needs to watch is that of his giveaways.  Less Hailee...less commercials...time to mature and really be a committed student of the game.  Not just an athletic freak running around playing hero ball.

Well, argue the point. Aside from Allen: what aspects of the team didn't look improved from last year?

 

[KeLLy1278]

This thread is about as pointless as a “How many teams started off 0-1 and won the Super Bowl?” thread.  Joe Montana has four one and done’s in his career.  He didn’t throw a single TD pass in the playoffs in three straight seasons from ‘85-‘87.  Does that absolve Allen somehow?  Brady wasn’t the best QB in football last season when he was 45 years old so Allen doesn’t have to have a perfect career.  Lol.  The really funny thing is that Brady at 46.. would have probably won the game last night if he was starting for the Bills.  Allen had the OT win all setup despite everything.  I’m not sure what the post game press conference was like last night and honestly.. I don’t want to hear the excuses anymore.  Either play and coach competently or get lost.

[BullBuchanan]

He sure did.

Of course this was after 3 consecutive first team all-pros, two MVP awards, and a super bowl win - none of which Josh Allen has one of, but Peyton sure did throw all those picks that one time.

Same could be said of Bengals in the 2022 post season, but Josh was still part of the problem.
