Remember when we wanted Josh to get a sports psychologist because he looked like he was inside his own head and depressed after the Jets debacle?

Josh claims this low positive thing was his idea and he spoke with someone else about it. Also said he started trying it after the 2nd game (Raiders).

Not sure I’m buying some of this. Against Washington he was old Josh and even did some prankish mocking of Commanders fans in the end zone after his TD run. I was at the Miami game 8 rows up and he was having a great time on the sidelines, and celebrating great plays and TDs, including the Miami “confused” emoji mock for the cameras after his TD run. These don’t look like low positive Josh games.

But the Jags, Giants, Pats games certainly look 180 degrees different, at least for the first 3+ quarters. Then it’s high octane.

Bills coaches may be disciplined techno-geniuses (may be) but they most definitely are not effective managers of their players energy and emotions and apparently aren’t getting them pumped up pregame. It’s more than just Xs and Os. McD is a low positive guy and that doesn’t translate to players. Humble and hungry? We are depressed and starving.

If I were McD I would get Allen and Dorsey alone in a room and tell them the offense is going to have to carry this team the rest of the way. ’d tell Allen he’s a great QB and he needs to be a leader. I’d tell Dorsey to work with Allen and scheme together and that I expect results. Then I’d leave the room.

What do I know. It could be as simple as Allen loving his teammates so much that he’s become depressed watching Tre, Milano, Jones, Knox etc go out with injuries?Or his Hollywood girlfriend dumped him? But it’s up to the coaches to figure it out and get Josh back to himself. Diggs can only do so much.

Sorry for the rant. I edited it a 100 times. Just love the Bills, love Allen, love Diggs. Just want them to have fun playing the game they all claim to love. Let’s kick some ass tonight!

    It also means (per Allen) that when things are going bad to chill out and think about things but stay inwardly positive.

    Allen is not wired that way.
