That's what you think, I think differently. 

 

We aren't going to win any superbowl as a running team. We need to find a way to cope with the blitz. Grow into it. Overcome it. This is not a time to be timid.

I mean it’s not just the ‘blitz’…the coverage has been great on the back end too

[Nitro]

Baltimore is leading 14-10

[SUNTANBILLS FAN]

Jesus if we can score we would be up 21

[KOKBILLS]

This is a game that Josh is going to have to scramble his way into better coverages.

Allen needs some gimmie passes ..... right now he is off

 

Knox pass was behind him lucky got the penalty

 

 

Replacement level players make that catch

But it was a bullet. Stopping your momentum to reach behind and real that in is extremely tough. If he had feathered it in fair enough. But he fired it in. Extremely tough on the receiver. QB error for me that one.

Fair.

 

I'll still quietly grumble about top catchers making up for the QB's faults, but you are Allen should have done betterer

[Einstein]

Watching from the stadium and there are very few people open. Hard to see no-one get penetration.

He did have Diggs and Davis open once each in that 1st but missed them.

I think something is up with Allen’s arm.  
 

Most of the season we’ve seen short passes.  The emergence of the run game.  
 

little zip on the ball.  Accuracy. 
 

 

Probably a torn rotator cuff that will need surgery this offseason.  Hopefully not labrum.

Start pounding the D with Lenny and Murray

I would at least like to see how that works today vs this Pats d line. Can’t be any worse than what we are currently watching. 

[Process]

On the bright side, Ravens take the lead

[Hebert19]

He's just off.  

[boyst]

What happened on the bills last punt? I heard screams. I was taking tree out

That seemed like an insanely long 1st quarter 

 

All these incompletions are going to make for a slow game unless we go to the run more.

Little zip? What? That’s the opposite of his problem at times

Why fair catch that?

Harty is truly useless. Horrible signing. 

[Donuts and Doritos]

Allen is rattled. He's leaving the pocket early & missing guys when throwing even when there is no pressure. They're in his head. He needs to call down.

[Nelius]

Unforgiven with the basement edgelord takes. Bills gonna win though 

[Draconator]

Something is up with Josh and I don't know what it is

The OL is getting beat on every pass attempt, receivers are dropping balls, and JA is missing on some throws. Perfect time to run the ball but we would rather keep slinging it.

The stats show the Pats secondary is weak and the run D is stout. It makes sense.

I’ll say again, passing offense has been off for weeks 

I worry that brady isn’t great at scheming guys open in the passing game. He is being outclassed by BB right now. Allen looks like a mess out there too, which ain’t helping.
