Unleash Josh Allen

This one should be pretty straightforward and not hard to figure out but give your best player as many opportunities to make plays. For the Buffalo Bills, that is Josh Allen and he is a player that can beat defenses in multiple ways.

In Week 13 against the New England Patriots, the Bills seemed to let the weather dictate their game plan and went very conservative by trying to just move the ball on the ground. However, the Bills aren’t a good run team and haven’t been for a few years now.

It wasn’t until the fourth quarter that the team seemed to open the playbook and trust Josh Allen and his arm to cut through the wind. He did that and the Bills had their two most productive drives of the night.

Unfortunately, the Bills struggled in the red zone and couldn’t get in the end zone but if they had taken this game plan for four quarters, it is hard to imagine they wouldn’t have been able to find one more touchdown and potentially a win.

The idea that the Buffalo Bills can have a traditional run game is unrealistic and it is time to trust in Josh Allen to play at the MVP level he showed last year.
