Josh Allen says we’re not revealing all our plays given the upcoming playoffs

Josh Allen says we’re not revealing all our plays given the upcoming playoffs

Buffalo Bills quarterback Josh Allen had an interesting response when asked about the Bills’ offensive game plan against the New England Patriots.

“As an offense, it’s about how much we want to show. Do we want to go to the extreme and show everything in our arsenal, there’s a line you have to toe, but ultimately , you just want to go 1-0 every week and find a way to win against these guys.”

Allen makes the bold claim that the Bills offense could hold back its playbook to save certain calls and formations for more meaningful playoff games in January. It’s conceivable to believe that given his place in the standings, Bills offensive coordinator Joe Brady could use a vanilla offense. Allen is known for his explosiveness during the playoffs, as he has had some magical moments so far in January.

Former Bills quarterback and current analyst Ryan Fitzpatrick had this to say about Allen’s quote:

“If that’s the case, I’d like to see Josh plan to throw it to Amari every time it’s one-on-one to continue to work on that in-game chemistry.”

It’s interesting to see what a respected former player had to say about the games’ potential for restraint. The idea of ​​giving Amari Cooper the ball might be a good idea for the Bills. He’s only received two targets in the last two games, totaling one catch for 10 yards. Having him fully healthy for January appears to be in the Bills’ best interest.

The Bills have the 3rd seed locked up after their win against the Patriots. They need the Kansas City Chiefs to lose both games in a row to have a chance at becoming the top seed in the playoffs. For now, the team must focus on staying healthy and holding games, while trying to chase the top seed in the AFC.
