Yeah, we noticed.

No shit, Sherlock.

Yeah, the whole nation has watched a good chunk of it.

Is it wrong to turn the ball over? Should I not have done that? I tell you, I gotta plead ignorance on this thing, because if anyone had said anything to me at all when I first started here that that sort of thing is frowned upon... you know, cause I've played on a lot of teams, and I tell you, people do that all the time.

"My game is not predicated on shots or if I turn the ball over. I missed some shots, that's part of the game. I'm allowed to miss shots. I can do that, like any other player. I can do that. I can turn the ball over too. I can do that. That's all a part of the game."

Josh also made a lot of mistakes. He forced a lot of his passes into coverage which sometimes are not necessary.

It was fun when he looked and acted like Andy Dwyer, it stopped being fun when he played like Andy Dwyer.

It's like a slightly better version of the jets, but the offense has the same issues.

The combination of sloppy passes from allen + a lot of dropped passes even when he throws it accurately is just killer.

Reporter asks obvious question.

QB gives obvious answer.

I prefer the Russell Westbrook method.

“Russ, did you guys lose the game tonight, or did the Jazz win it?”

“….what?”

My favorite. Reporter asks player about something from the week before

Statement is correct 12 out of 11.

now now let's not gloss over the fact that Walmart sent over a huge contribution to the NFL Referee Union Pension Fund Auxiliary just before Halloween

[–] jimbobills@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You're the biggest culprit Josh.

From now to the end of the season I want to see a smashmouth offense, Josh is being way too careless with the ball.

[–] ZeroedCool@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Man listen, ngl, there were so many games I've watched where Brady and the Patriots were absolute shit for 3 quarters. But Brady came back in the end, the defense held, and nobody talked about anything except how great Brady and Co. were.

Now, I feel kinda the same about this. JA plays meh, but when the 4th quarter came, he fucking SUPERMANS (handing the ball off to Cook, idk how it relates lol) - but in Bills/Pats - JA comes into the 4th Quarter and by the time he sits on the bench he has TIED THE GAME OR GOTTEN THE LEAD.

Both of those games the defense and special teams cost the game. But since they ended in losses, nobody talks about what JA did when he had to.

Not excusing the turnovers, they are killer, but man o man if some things go different ways, they'd talk about the 4th Quarter dominance rather than the turnovers.

[–] hideous_coffee@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

But Brady came back in the end, the defense held, and nobody talked about anything except how great Brady and Co. were.

That's exactly the type of win that McDermott wants every week. But when you've got backups of backups in your defensive lineup you've got to change the strategy because these guys aren't holding at the end.

[–] jimbobills@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I understand where you are coming from brother/sister, but I rarely remember Brady having costly turnovers, bad games sure but even then, he rarely gave the ball away.

The only game where I blame the defense is when we faced you guys, that was bad. But yesterday they had been in the field the entire game, Russ TD pass to Sutton was the perfect pass, nothing you can do there. The last drive wasn't ideal but the game should have been over by then.

Josh Allen: Jaguars are playing "a lot of bad football".

[–] nooo82222@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Hey, jaguars are playing bad football.

But man if Trevor Lawrence had all day to throw the ball like Josh Allen on the Bills, he would make it count.

Something wrong with Josh Allen the quarterback and someone doesn’t want to admit it

Little bit of projection there Josh.

[–] CantKeepKosher@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

My guy, YOU are playing a lot of bad football

[–] Kopitar4president@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I wish Josh Allen hadn't committed DPI or been the 12th man on the field.

You're not going to see many bills fans claim Allen was good last night.

We will see a lot of people from other teams pretending other people, including Allen, are claiming he was good.

[–] throughNthrough@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Idk kind of seems like Josh Allen has peaked and this is just who he is. He makes some big time throws but makes a lot of bad decisions. In my amateur opinion they are going to need to get an offensive minded HC and a young exciting OC to match his style.

[–] Mampt@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

I think that's exactly what it is. Daboll could scheme to his play style and match his energy, Dorsey can't. It's like forcing a square peg into a round hole. I'm not ready to throw in the towel and say he's broken after one shitty season (especially if it's a season where he still ends up leading the league in TDs like he currently is). He can play off script as well as anyone, and did for the last few years, I don't think that disappears overnight

“We’re all trying to find the guy who did this”

[–] MYO716@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

You can tell who doesn’t watch the games when they make the same “no YOU are playing bad football” joke.

Josh is absolutely the problem but to me, this season died it’s death because of coaching. McDermott finally got the safe offense he’s always wanted and they made him scared to run with it. It’s the most baffling thing I’ve seen. So now you’re still getting the turnovers with Allen that you could live with when he was an electric playmaker…but he doesn’t do that stuff anymore so it’s just the turnovers. And still one to two throws a game where you’re like “damn that was pretty nice.”

[–] salamanderwolf@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

Josh has turned into Ryan Fitzpatrick 2.0 without the charisma. A gunslinger who takes chances and can pull off some amazing throws but who also fucks the game with turnovers occasionally.

[–] Informal_Treat4634@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It’s just you Josh…

[–] pquigs17@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

YOU are buddy. YOU are

[–] formyamusementation@alien.top 1 points 10 months ago

It’s nuance, but Allen should not have even included the rest of the team. We all know that the team had a late DPI. We all know they had 12 men on the field. However, the QB needs to only talk about how he needs to do better when he is responsible for three turnovers. His entire press conference should have deflected blame away from anyone but himself. We all know that others are responsible as well. Leaders take the blame when it goes wrong and spread the praise when it goes right. I don’t think Josh is a leader and honestly, looking at the way Diggs behaves, I think the Bills are devoid of leadership from the head coach on down.
