Ridiculous.  At least one of those interceptions is unquestionably unacceptable.

 

That said, in most games I think we're probably going to be happy if Josh has throws 4 TDs in games where he throws 2 INTs.

 

And speaking of TDs, how about some Dawson Knox hype.  He's at 7 on the season now, a new franchise record for TEs, with 9 games played.

Knox is the kinda guy the fans love. Comes into the league.Cant catch but rumbles down the field like a freight train when he does hang onto it. He works his butt off the next offseason and the receiving skills improve a lot. And he knocks people over like Larry Czonka used to.

No. It was unquestionably bad.

Mistakes are inevitable. They have be minimized or overcome.

I don't think people know what unacceptable means.

Can't catch? He hasn't had issues catching this year.

Agree to disagree, then.  I don't think *you* know what unacceptable means.

Is the aim to play perfectly, or to win the game?

If it is to win the game, than that interception was clearly acceptable, because they reached their goal. Easily.

If it is to play perfectly, then it is no wonder watching football makes people crazy.

So because I find an absolutely terrible decision and throw to be absolutely terrible, I'm suddenly demanding perfection? Yeah, okay.

The guy threw 4 touchdowns and led his team to 31 points. He missed 5 throws all night, and at least 2 of them were thrown away on purpose. His team won going away.

What I find hard to accept is the degree of angst and over-analysis that follows any sign of a misstep, and it only seems to accelerate the closer the team gets to the ultimate goal.

He's a special must-watch athlete, objectively one of the best Bills fans have ever had the opportunity to cheer for.

Have a beer, sit back and let yourself enjoy what he does.

I was out in NYC last night, unable (chose not) to watch. Was following a text thread of a group of friends watching and I swear I thought we were losing 47 to nothing. I get home, put the game on right when they scored to make it 31-6 and was just, WTF, SMH.

I think people who choose to make that decision their focus in the context of Josh Allen’s performance are also choosing to make themselves miserable.

You can speak for yourself whether or not that applies to you.

@SwampD gets it.

I was watching last night but I was following the TBD game thread in real time as well.... Holy hell is this place 1000% better than that cesspool of testosterone. 

It's nice for info (sometimes) but whooooeee, I'll stick to this forum/thread for football.

Unfortunately it’s official — torn ACL and out for the season.

Get well soon Tre.

The Jags and Colts games are great examples of why there’s angst even in victory with this team. The problems being pointed out are the problems that are costing them games. They are problems that will cost them big games if not corrected.

The better you play the better your chances are to win a game. They’re not going to play a mediocre team littered with an unimaginable number of key injuries every week.

And Tre’s injury makes playing without egregious mistakes even more important.

So because I think there are plays worth correcting, I'm miserable?  Yeah, okay.  Give me a break.

And people don't get a chance to enjoy a blowout Bills victory every week either.

Definitely not. Blowouts are a great time to figure out what works and what doesn’t. This team is good enough where we aren’t often losing our minds when things are going well but they’re definitely good enough for it to capture meaningful attention when terrible plays are made.

This team is a Super Bowl contending team when healthy (this league is full of parity right now, there are probably ten teams that could). I want that for them and I demand that of them.

You're replying directly to me while making that comment.  It doesn't take much to add 2 and 2 and get 4, regardless of whether you were explicit or not.

[Gatorman0519]

Honestly NE is officially the best team in the AFC and it’s not even close. That team is a machine. We can’t remotely play inconsistent as we’ve been or we could get blown out again.

Yes. At this point NE is the best team .And fortunately the 2nd best team-INDY-Just lost to TB so they may not get in cuz of their slow start.

I think the Bills -esp Josh--Need to play a very disciplined game to have a chance vs NE . BB takes not greatly talented QBs and trains them fresh out of college before they develope bad habits. And turns them into QBing machines.
