Making the playoffs is a chore. It is never easy.Hate to call week 2 a must win, but with games at Cincinatti, Philly, and KC (not to mention the rest of the division games) on the docket they need to start banking wins if they don't want to make making the playoffs a chore.
Allen had a dud game. How it played out was particularly frustrating... what else is new for Buffalo... but it was the season opener with some rust to shake off and against an elite defense that always gives him fits.
I do think Allen has been particularly bad under pressure ever since 13 seconds. Seems like any time expectations rise now, you can see the sweat and that thousand yard stare. I think once Rodgers went out, he kinda went into "everyone expects us to bulldoze these guys now" mode and it blew up on him.
If he's still pulling that crap so unsuccessfully next week, I'll start to worry.
I saw Morse put his dislocated finger back into place Monday night.

The camera keyed in on him after the play, and I saw him grab his hand and pull on it. I thought he was adjusting his gear...nope.two old goats like us probbaly noticed because we did it to ourselves many times
I wouldn't call it must win, but if Allen has another day with a ton of TOs, then the pressure is really going to ramp up on him. It's going to be interesting to see how he responds. He's responded well to adversity in the past.Hate to call week 2 a must win, but with games at Cincinatti, Philly, and KC (not to mention the rest of the division games) on the docket they need to start banking wins if they don't want to make making the playoffs a chore.
