Too bad the man’s career is being wasted here.  Josh should have a Lombardi or two.

I swear if Josh is wasted like Mike Trout, I'm going to hate McDermott for eternity.

Sounds about right..that gets him to 70% which is just over his season average with a wet football against the eagles defense on the road.  Couple miscommunications too that likely could’ve resulted in catches but it’s tough to know who’s to blame in those situations

7 drops and wrs getting little separation. Josh had a ridiculous 83 qbr.  I don't even look at rating anymore.  All the formula cares about is completion %.

[HomeTeam]

I really liked the parallel Rich made about the 2021 Bucs team. They were 6-6 around this time and went on a run and won the whole thing. 

 

If this team can just get out of its own way, they have that sort of run in them.

How many of those were drops…he also had 81 rushing yards and 2 rushing tds 

Expand  

 

He should have had six TDs in that game, at least.  Cook dropped one early and then there's Davis running the wrong route at the end.

Feels great having Romo Rich loving our boy. Rich also seems to like his personality. Me too! GO JOSH!  I mean, stay, really stay!

56% completion and 82 passer rating is Superman? I guess love really is blind

Really... Josh threw the ball 51 times.  500+ yds.   In a heavy cold rain.   I'm sure Jalen Hurts ratings look better,  in fact he only had 33 passing yds. At halftime.   Josh is only responsible for offense.   IMO JA17 played one of his best games yesterday.   Second only to the 13 second meltdown,   but same ol same ol Mc Dummy cannot manage a game or get a defensive stop in a big game.  But whatever... blame Josh.

I love Rich Eisen.  He is so rational and genuine.

....and he's right. Josh was covering for Gabe's wrong route. I guarantee you when you're facing a 0 blitz, the route is a straight fly.  Not a hard left cut to the corner.  Gabe does this all the time.  Josh was great yesterday and right on schedule he drives his team down for the game winning td (1:52) and McD's worthless defense collapses.  This scenario has played out many times in 17's career.

I'm starting to get uncomfortable with how much Romo loves Allen. It's almost gotten to the Collinsworth/Mahomes level. And Josh may need a restraining order.

Expand  

My guess is Romo recognizes the unique talent Allen is and resents the way the Bills and McD are wasting that talent.  Chris Simms also falls into that camp.

Add Bean to the list and if Pegula doesn't do the right thing this off season you can add him to the list as well. 

 

To waste a talent like Allen is a football sin of the first order. But given the Bills history would anyone be surprised if Allen forces his way out of Buffalo at about 30 years old and goes somewhere else where he wins a couple of Super Bowl's while solidifying his first ballot HOF career?  It would be the ultimate case of Buffalo Bills football.

Yesterday was one of Allen’s best games of his career. 
 

The end of last year and all of this year many were questioning, including myself, whether he still has it.  It’s reassuring that the guy who determines how far we go, still has it and then some.  
 

I’m not a moral victory guy, but I think there’s a strong argument to be made the return of Josh yesterday was the most significant takeaway in the grand scheme of things.

So do you also think he's having the best season of his career because of his completion percentage? I really have no idea what to tell you if you do. 

 

Josh was elite yesterday if you actually watched the game. 

Expand  

I watched… as per usual there was some good, some great, some incredible, and also some bad and some head scratching WTF moments.  

same old story

Dorsey had him in shackles. We waited too long to let him go and it might’ve cost us the season.

At least McD recognized it and made the right move.  We easily could’ve tried to work through it and Matt Canada’d it.

Agreed 100% but nobody wants to give him credit for that though. I thought they should’ve moved on from Dorsey after the Bengals playoff game. I think that was part of the reason why Diggs was upset coming into camp.

Dorsey and McDingbat criminally here:
Oct 24, 2023 “Josh Allen says his new ‘low positive’ approach might be behind Bills sluggish starts”. 

so bad, McDumbass

Depending on the kind of run he goes on to finish the season it could end up being his best year yet. His QBR has been fluctuating from career high to top 3. QBR always seems to line up better with what my eyes see over passer rating. He is having a very good year. Won’t be surprised at all if it ends up being his best or second best year to date .

We’ve won 3 games since September.  
 

But appreciate it Rich and you’re right.  This generation’s Favre but he needs his Mike Holmgren.
