Boards I am not laying it all on Allen, I like Allen but you can't take away the missed throw on that first drive, would have been nice to have 7 instead of 3, and the last one, he needs to hit those. The defense was not it's usual self, didn't have the greatest game.

Whos taking it away? This is so absurd.

If I asked 100 people, would you take 250 yards, 0 turnovers, two passing TD’s against the best pass defense the league has seen in a decade, do you think any of the 100 people say no?

He was good yesterday. Period. End of story.

Had a passer rating over 100 against the #1 team, on the road

The Bill's are gonna be a tough out for anybody they face in the playoffs, but a couple plays can mean the difference, and that happened yesterday.

Didn't say he wasn't good, but he hits those 2 throws that 30 of 32 QB'S in the league would make, we win that game, end of story

How many QB’s hit the Brown or Knox pass that we’re picture perfect with guys in his face? Cause it ain’t 30

What, they were great throws, not taking that away from him. But come on Knox had his man beat by 2 yards on both misses, and he wasn't even close on either throw. Allen is a perfect fit for this team, but he still has things to work on.

I think the No Fly Zone and The Legion of Boom would like a word.

The Pats May have better stats but their strength of schedule also helped. The Pats did lose to Jackson, Mahomes and Watson which were really the only 3/4 QB’s they played this year if you want to lump Allen in there also.

They only lost to Mahomes at Foxboro, and they scored just 23 points. Which wouldn’t be enough to win yesterday

Dude I don’t care. This is the NFL. Watch the games today and let me know which QB doesn’t miss a few. The list is as long as Drew Brees usually.

Did you watch the Texans? Watson was overthrowing guys left and right, and also made great plays. He does that all the time. You take the good with the bad

Yes they do, you are right and I shouldn't have thought those passes should have been completed

With the exception of last night ..... Allen has not hit a bomb like that since last year. Daboll each game has drawn up a play that had a deep pass wide open and Allen has missed by 5-10 yards. He is very inaccurate

Oh I am not turning to the dark side, I do like Allen but he has things he needs to work on. Those are the plays that could win or lose a playoff game.

I actually don’t hate Allen. I just need to see way more than what he’s shown. So many people are quick to anoint him as a franchise qb and that he’s “good.”

He has a long long way to go.

Yeah he has stuff to work on, and I hope he gets there, because a few more steps and he's gonna be really good, but can he take those next steps.

In the few people with proven CTE, symptoms have included:

Difficulty thinking (cognitive impairment)

Depression or apathy

Short-term memory loss

Difficulty planning and carrying out tasks (executive function)

CTE symptoms don't develop right after a head injury, but experts believe that they might develop over years or decades after repeated head trauma.

All fine traits for a GM. At least Botterill isn’t borderline retarded as well. The borderline retarded label is reserved for the owner who hired the guy who had to retire early from hockey because of repeated head trauma to run his organization.

You are pathetic. This is one of the most blatant lack of perspective and character posts I've seen in a long time here.

True as well
After we went up 17-10,
defense gave up 3 scoring drives

I wonder if they got worn down at all though bc the offense could’ve stay on the field
Time of possession was pretty brutal

- jdfitz77


What was the defense's excuse in the first half when they couldn't get off the field?

Millsie having a rough game against the Rags today.

Mitts pointless in Rochester is pretty disappointing. He’s been given PP time too.

Lazar coming up is what some people have been asking for. Let’s see what he does with it.

If I could describe Josh Allen is three words it would be :

Not. Quite. There

Will he ever get there ? In my opinion, no. I agree that he has a certain "it" factor, but that's just not enough for our team to become a playoff winning team. And then there's the whole Buffalo-luck thing. We can't have nice things, therefore Josh Allen won't become the QB we're hoping for. This is the truth.

I have spoken.

- kritter65


Josh will never be perfect, and missed some throws yesterday but he also made plays nobody else in e world could do: throw to Allen, run on 4th and 1. He also had the best QB rating vs New England of any qb this year. And by the way, Jackson and Mahomes played NE this year. Three words: who asked you
