lol Terrible game. More defensive injuries. Allen flexing his arm. Good stuff. credit to improvements made by our divisional opponents.
Very true. Hopefully things are cleaned up. Including the run defense. And also the subpar WR play behind Diggs.
As awful as Allen played, and as much as that game sucked, Allen hitting Davis In the chest on a 70 yard pass as he is moving left is astounding lol
Dead serious in saying rest Josh Allen next week. Gives the elbow an extra week rest and hopefully clears his head. He’s lost in his head right now
He said his elbow didn’t impact him at all. Just needs the easy stuff. Red zone stuff is awful but fixable I guess.
Im still very annoyed with that. He did take responsibility for it after. But literally, it was such an amazing catch but should have never been able to make that catch
Cam literally made the catch for him. His hand isn’t even on it here. it is brutal, but fucking up the snap is worse. And the refusal to call designed runs or take stuff underneath is getting old in second halfs. Both final RZ drives that led to INTs had terrible playcalls, too many EZ routes, and stupid forced passes from Allen. On the last play of the game, 3 routes went into the EZ
Worried about the browns since they might run all over us if Edmunds is out. But we need to beat the browns and lions to get to 8-3 ahead of returning to divisional play.
https://www.theringer.com/nfl/2022/11/14/23458378/buffalo-bills-josh-allen-question-marks Of Note: There are three main issues. The first and most pressing is that the interior offensive line is incapable of generating any push in the ground game. The Bills appeared to have found a solution early against Minnesota, as Devin Singletary picked up two first-quarter rushing touchdowns. But all of that production came on runs that bounced outside, away from the problem area for this offensive line. The Vikings adjusted shortly after by no longer asking their corners to set the edge, and the Bills run game fell apart. The low point came late in the second half with Buffalo deep in Minnesota territory needing only 2 yards to move the chains on third down. The Vikings put just six men in the box and kept two safeties back deep, daring Dorsey to call a run straight up the gut. He did, but Buffalo’s interior offensive line simply wasn’t up to the task. This feeds into the second major issue. Because defenses don’t feel obligated to load up the box against the Bills, they can throw double-teams at Diggs or put a spy on Allen in case he breaks out of the pocket. That creates spacing problems. On this third-and-short in the red zone, the Vikings use a backside safety to double an isolated Diggs. As a counter, Gabriel Davis runs a slant over the middle to clear out room for Isaiah McKenzie’s in-breaking route behind him. But Davis sees the double on Diggs and settles down in that open area, which creates a spacing issue that spooks Allen for just long enough to make him miss the throw. And that brings us to the third and final red zone issue. Dorsey has yet to play the “Josh Allen is bigger and faster than every player on your defense” card many times this season. Since he hasn’t deployed that trump card, defenses have maintained the upper hand. In a way, this reluctance on Dorsey’s part makes sense; the 2021 Bills waited until the stretch run to really unleash Allen as a runner in the red zone as a safety precaution. The big quarterback didn’t have his number called in the run game once Sunday, which presumably is a byproduct of his UCL injury. [...] Here is the full list of Bills defensive backs that missed Sunday’s game against the Vikings: Jordan Poyer, Tre’Davious White, Kaiir Elam, and Micah Hyde, who’s out for the year with a neck injury. That’s a lot for a secondary to overcome, and it showed. Justin Jefferson dominated the banged-up Buffalo group to finish with 10 catches for 193 yards and a touchdown. Understandably, the concerns about this coverage unit aren’t going away. White and Poyer will eventually make it back to the field, and these experiences should serve the young corners well when the games start to matter more and they’re not tasked with covering superstar receivers on their own. So this feels like another issue that could work itself out before January—and that’s all that really matters for a team that’s viewing this season as championship-or-bust.
