Defense should be embarrassed…

Not his best game, but given the mediocre scheme and way they want him to play football it was fine. 25 points ( with a missed 42 yd FG) should do it vs the great Mac Jones, Kendrick Bourne and co. The Pats were just shut out by the Saints. The high flying Dolphins scored 24 and beat them. I’d like a better offensive performance featuring more of Josh Allen - their best player by a long shot. Expecting the defense to make some tackles and cover pedestrian WRs catching passes from a mediocrity like Jones isn’t a huge ask. Pats offense reached  several season highs vs McD’s outfit. That’s just unacceptable. 

Again why can this Bills Offense NEVER pick up for a struggling defense. You know that the defense regularly picks up this struggling offense.

The scheme is garbage , they want to rein in their athletic freak QB and they have one trustable target. Turn Josh loose ! This offense with a hemmed- in Allen is just too simple to defend. Look at the rush they’re facing … teams know Allen isn’t going to truck them for first downs anymore and they’re going right at him with zero fear.

So again why can your 250M QB cannot be accurate yesterday?  Why was he late to a TE that has hands issues making a very easy catch a contested?  Why is it always someone else?  He is the long term captain on this team right????  He is the face of this team right???  He picked Dorsey right?   So Again why can your top paid player and his side of the Ball not pick up a struggling Defense ever???

First over the last 5 years the majority of the draft & free agent resources have been given to the defense at the expense of the offense. 

 

Second, the Offense has frequently picked up the struggling defense over the last 4 seasons. This year it was the offense keeping pace with the Dolphins that allowed the D to settle into place.  Yesterday the offense did all it could to pick up the D in the 2nd half. Just don't let the Pats score a TD on that last drive and the worst outcome is a FG and OT.

Really name it.  Name the Games the Bills just flat out went and picked up that defense. 

 

Tell me about how the Josh Allen has looked the first half of the LAST three games.  

 

I guess in you world the offense only needs two maybe three drives a game.

I'm sure about 28 other teams would give up almost anything to acquire our "250 M" QB. So what's your point?  Are you putting this loss on Allen playing poorly and being inaccurate?  What's your definition of accuracy - completing 95% of his passes and being on time with every throw?

 

Were you in the film room to conclude that Allen was late on his throw to Knox?  Maybe Knox was the 3rd read?  As it is that was a very catchable ball and it wasn't caught.  Judas Priest must every Allen throw be perfect because the Bills receivers can't make contested catches?

 

And I doubt Allen "picked Dorsey" I suspect that Allen approved of Dorsey as OC after the Bills management had approved of him taking the job.

 

You keep talking about Allen being the "top paid player" when in fact by NFL standards and his own production he is underpaid.  Allen wasn't brilliant yesterday but he played well enough to win and he led the Bills to a comeback victory with an excellent 2nd half performance.  Oh wait the D allowed the worst QB & worst offense in the NFL to go down and score a TD to win the game at the end so I was wrong about Allen leading that comeback win.

The Dolphins game. Three straight TD drives to start the game while the D was floundering and unable to stop the fish.  This put pressure on Miami to keep pace and abandon the run which played into the Bills hands.

 

Allen and the offense have been flat IN THE FIRST HALF of the last 3 games.  The London effect clearly impacted the first 2 of those games.  Yesterday, Belichick out coached Dorsey & McD by a wide margin.  The Bills only scored 10 points with just 1 TD in the 1st half of those games. They also missed a FG. That prorates to 20 points IF their 2nd half performance mirrored their first half showing.

 

But there is a 2nd half of football and the Bills offense looked a lot better.  They've scored 49 points and scored 7 TD's but also missed 2 FG's.  That prorates to 98 points (33 points per game).

 

So you see there is a lot more going on here then "highly paid Allen sucks".

And since then 1 TD and 1FG drive from the Offense in the first half for the next three weeks.  Let me guess they are using the Gabe Davis cloak of invisibility in the first half?

Did you read my post?  I addressed the discrepancy between the lack of 1st half production and the excellent 2nd half production.  I don't have enough info to say what is causing this but I don't think it's Allen.  Not when I can see how the Bills have structured their offense over the last 5 seasons. 

 

Buffalo is a defensive minded franchise that believes that surrounding an elite QB with less talent is the way to focus resources into creating an elite D.  This WAS a Super Bowl winning template from the 1970's to early in the 21st century.  I don't believe it's the template to win a Super Bowl TODAY.   Sure it has been successful in lifting the Bills from 20 years of average to bad football to Division titles and playoff appearances but it's not enough to lift us to the next level.

 

You seem mad at Allen because he can't lift his game to a point where the Bills O is overpowering with the talent at hand.  IMO NO QB in the NFL could take this current Bills offensive talent & coaching philosophy and make it a consistently potent force.

 

And for the record McD & Bean have NOT been able to create a consistently great D.  The stats look good but every season this defense has failed the team at the most critical moments.  Meanwhile, the Bills are squandering a generational talent at QB.  This is what pisses me off.

No I dont read it.  Because 

1.  Josh Allen WANTED dorsey so any criticism of Dorsey also goes to the QB.

2.  Josh Allen isnt seeing the football field and is late to throws (See Knox Drop) 

 

Your QB needs to lift a team or otherwise he is JAG.  If you are worth 250M you should be able to pick up a defense, and make the throws that the reads "if you are seeing the field" on time.

I mean, no matter how sluggish the offense may look, three weeks in a row now when they DID get things going, when they did score to get a lead, the defense allowed the other team to march right back down the field and score, or in the case of The Giants game, The Giants bungled severely and beat themselves, and our defense was just there for the ride.

 

The offense did score two TD's and converted 2 points for the lead. Maybe to you it was too little too late, but at least it was something. Allowing a really bad team with a bad offense, a bad OL and QB march right back down the field and allow them a TD was shameful. Don't know how anyone can defend this.

[Buffalo_Stampede]

It was a bad showing. Played on their heels all game. They were out coached.

So tell me should it take 58 minutes for a top 3 QB to get the lead against a bad team?  I guess you are ok with Josh Missing WIDE open WRs.  I guess you are OK with him throwing to nothing, I guess you are OK with him not reading the field.  I get it.  Josh can do not wrong.  Lets blame the defense.  Eventually maybe finally we can put some blame on the Offense.  Maybe after Thursday when they sleep walk through yet another 1st half.

The fact that you keep referring to Josh as "your QB" tells me everything I need to know. You are probably one of the people here whom did not want to be wrong about calling him a bust 🙄

 

Unlike you, I actually watch the games. Every snap had him running for his life, and I am sure you noticed that too, but may not want to admit it. It was ridiculous. Our OL is awful, yet occasionally has a good game. Our OL is so bad that we have to use our tight ends to help them out, often. You are acting like QB's don't miss throws, or have INT's, or wide open receivers. I watched a lot of Football yesterday, and I saw Mahomes do it, Tua, Jalen, all the "great" QB's have missed throws or wide open targets. Is this seriously your biggest argument? This is silly and nitpicky. Regardless of how sluggish the offense has been(and yes, it's a problem that needs to be addressed) in the first two or three quarters, they still rallied the team from being down and got them the lead, and both times the defense allowed the other team to go back down the field, and one of them scored and won, and the other came dangerously close.

 

Both sides need to compliment each other, and the last three weeks the defense has not done that when the offense needed them to. You want to say the offense needs to help the defense out? Fine. But then admit it goes both ways and the defense needs to return the favor.

Nope Bust NEVER came out of me talking about Josh.  And Yes I will criticize him when warranted.  I suggest you all tr is.  

 

So again same questions you refuse to answer

You are simply trolling here.

 

Allen has lifted the team.  Without him I doubt we win even one division title over the last 3 seasons.  I also doubt we go to the playoff more then onece in the last 4 seasons. So if that isn't the definition of "lifting a team" I don't know what is.

 

Sure, THIS YEAR KC's weapons are about equal to the Bills and they also have had some issues with offensive consistency and production.  But you're ignoring three important things:

 

* When comparing Allen & Mahomes you have to look at their CAREERS not just this season.  Now when you do this Mahomes & the Chiefs have clearly outperformed the Bills with multiple Super Bowls.  But no sane football fan could say that over that stretch Mahomes and Allen's skill players were equally talented.  Mahomes & the Chiefs have had a huge advantage over Allen & the Bills on this front.  There is no rational disputing of this.

 

*  While the Chiefs & Bills may have similar talent at the offensive skill positions THIS SEASON the Chiefs enjoy a substantial advantage in offensive coaching.

 

*  Ditto the huge advantage the Chiefs have on the Offensive Line.

OOO I got it So KC has similar to worse weapons.  But yet Pat Mahomes only does what he does because of coaching.  Got it.  Now I am moving along.
