Bills need someone who can get Josh Allen to calm down during games

[Woodman]

After the game, Allen admitted it was the “same ****.” That he forced too many throws. That he did too many of the things he had done last year, when expectations of a Super Bowl win and an MVP trophy became a season with a few too many struggles and a 27-10 division-round loss at home to the Bengals.

The solution is simple. It’s obvious. Allen needs someone who can and will look him in the eye and tell him to calm down. But there are two problems with that.

First, offensive coordinator Ken Dorsey doesn’t seem to be the calming type — especially not in light of the way he reacted to last year’s loss to the Dolphins. Second, head coach Sean McDermott has little or no chance to talk to Allen when the offense is on the sideline, because McDermott is now calling the defensive plays.

The stats weren’t incredible for either team, but glancing at them without knowing the score, one might believe the Buffalo Bills exited victorious. Until, they caught sight of the turnovers.
For the Bills to hold any opponent to one touchdown in regulation, it’s fair to assume that an offense led by Josh Allen should find more than enough opportunity to put plenty of points on the scoreboard. And opportunity was plenty — but instead of points, four drives ended in turnovers saddled to Allen.
Josh Allen doesn’t need to do it all himself, but he very well may be operating this way — having gotten used to it out of past necessity. There will be better days for Allen. Perhaps some of the best days are yet to come this year and beyond — for the team and one of the sport’s most faithful undying fan bases.

Needs therapy...

Surely he's been told to calm down numerous times, and for a couple of years now. He needs someone to be able to get him to calm down. Therapy takes two to tango. Allen seems willing, but McD hasn't been able to get through. Dorsey hasn't been able to get through. Their needs to be a change to someone who can.

Correct. He’s a grown ass man. He’s a veteran. He has elite physical God given talents. He has plenty of weapons. He has plenty of experience in making the same stupid mistakes.

time for him to use his neurons as much as he uses his testosterone. 50/50 that and the Bills will succeed.

Yeah, it's on Josh. He shouldn't need a babysitter at this point.

Grown ass men can't benefit from therapy?

Tom Brady, Shaq, Kobe MJ etc etc all gave credit to sports physcologist for their success.

Race horses often have comfort animals in their stall to keep them calm. Maybe we should all pitch in and send Josh a bench goat.

Allen is the ultimate competitor and football player. That's why we have so many highlights and crazy plays to look back on. However, he needs help resisting his natural tendencies to not give up and make a play. I was hoping he would figure it out on his own, but...

Dorsey doesn't seem to be the calm type, so I don't know if he can help, but someone in his ear, every drive, maybe every play, reminding him to be smart and protect the ball. I swear he must black out while playing.

The thread topic is specifically "during games".

If he feels a psychologist during the week would help him be a better player, I would support that 100%. But the sideline on Sunday is no place for a psychologist, that's when and where Josh takes ownership.

Isn't that the QB coaches job?

The thread specifically about getting Josh to be calm during games. Not at a club. Not at a TSA checkpoint. Not at a long checkout line at the grocery. But during games. Who and when someone gets in his ear to get him to do that is not specified.

He admits that it's an issue yet he still has the same issue. He can't change on his own. And unfortunately, McD, Dorsey, Brady, Diggs, nor Morse hasn't gotten through to him either.

The people in his ear during the week, and during game day, whether on the sidelines or on the field needs a change.
