Allen doesn't really have weapons outside of Diggs rn. That being said, he's always played a Favre-esq style of ball that could either help or doom the team. I think defenses have kind of figured out that once you take away Diggs, Allen tries to hero ball it.
I think the hero ball is the issue regardless of the players. On Monday, the Bills went on 75 yard drive to take the lead w 2 minutes left in the game and Allen didn’t throw a single pass.
If Josh Allen can’t be successful without more great players, he should renegotiate his contract to take less money so the Bills can get better players.
The issue is the same as Mahomes is facing now, that outside of one great target and a promising rookie, Allen doesn't have reliable targets to throw to. The most basic, stock-standard WR2 and 3s you could imagine would be an upgrade for him. Davis isn't a good WR2 and Shakir doesn't feature much.
Look at what Deshaun Watson did on the road vs a much better defense than the Broncos.
His weapons were Amari Cooper, David Njoku, Elijah Moore, and Jerome Ford (and they were down to their 4th and 5th string tackles). Allen’s group is as good or better than that, and he isn’t doing too well. Why? Bc he turns the ball over (leads the league). He’s had an interception in like 5 straight games. The pick he threw vs the Bengals had absolutely nothing to do with the quality of his wide receiver. Pass catchers have nothing to do with him fumbling the ball.
Wow, have not heard that excuse for Allen before. It could be so much worse than the group of skill players he has
Kincaid is a good player
Sure, he's solid, but I wouldn't call him a weapon yet. Gabe Davis was supposed to be that #2 guy after that playoff game he had against y'all, but that's looking like a pipe dream now.
Chiefs DBs kept falling down around Davis in the RZ and the Bills really thought it was indicative of future performance for the dude smh
Lol we let Dan sorenson trick us 💀💀💀💀
I don’t understand why teams don’t use good TEs like the chiefs use Kelce. Ofc Kelce is GOATed (outside Gronk maybe) but I feel like OCs should scheme them in wayyyy more. Like I’m talking 10+ targets a game, but I haven’t looked at Kincaid’s numbers tbf
About 32 targets over the past 4 games so pretty close to that
