Buffalo Bills should sit quarterback Josh Allen until they address

offensive line Josh Allen’s first NFL preseason start came to an end when Youth Shaq Lawson Jersey , in an attempt to avoid taking a sack and loss of yardage late in the first half, his head bounced off of the turf following what can accurately be described as a heroic throw-away.It was arguably the best play Allen made in his half of play against the Cincinnati Bengals, who otherwise roundly abused the Buffalo Bills in all three phases en route to a 20-0 halftime lead.Allen briefly entering the concussion protocol (he has since been cleared and is fine, for the record) also served to emphasize the reason why Allen can’t be the Bills’ starting quarterback in Week 1 against the Baltimore Ravens.If the Bills’ offensive line continues to perform the way it has in its last two preseason games, whichever player lines up under center is going to take a beating. No amount of crafty game planning can change that. This is a unit that, even optimistically, doesn’t look like it will be playing well in two weeks. You have to protect your investment; Allen shouldn’t be put under center until his protection situation is significantly better.Granted, Buffalo’s offensive line is currently dealing with an injury to its starting left tackle, Dion Dawkins. They’re also rotating several players around at the left guard, center, and right guard spots on each successive offensive series, seemingly desperately attempting to find some combination of players that can competently block. It isn’t working yet.In their Week 2 preseason game last week against the Cleveland Browns, the offensive line also struggled to protect then-starter AJ McCarron, who took an injury on his final series and is only now returning to full action after roughly a week. In this afternoon’s first half Youth John Miller Jersey , Allen took five sacks and several more big hits while completing 6-of-12 passes for 34 yards. The Bills had -5 (negative-five) net passing yards in the half. With such shoddy play around him (receivers dropped passes, plural, as well), there was very little to learn from an Allen evaluation on this day.Bills head coach Sean McDermott still has a decision to make regarding his starting quarterback for September 9 against the Ravens. The offensive line should have decided for him, by now, that he’s reduced to picking between McCarron and Nathan Peterman. The Buffalo Bills narrowly put away the Tennessee Titans, 13-12, on the back of an outstanding performance from their their defense. The Bills kept the Titans behind schedule and controlled the line of scrimmage with a run-obsessed gameplan, finishing with a game-winning field goal by Stephen Hauschka as the game expired.The Buffalo defense suffocated the Titans for most of the day. They had three turnovers, kept Tennessee out of the end zone, and limited the Titans to 221 yards of total offense. Marcus Mariota was 14-of-26 for 129 yards (5.0 yards per attempt) and an interception. The Titans runners combined for 100 yards on 25 carries. Kyle Williams and Jerry Hughes each had a sack. Hughes would’ve had two, but he shoved Mariota to try and avoid a roughing the passer penalty, which backfired when Mariota didn’t lose his balance.The Bills treated Josh Allen with kid gloves in this game, running at more than a 2:1 ratio compared to his passes. It was a good idea too Authentic Kyle Williams Jersey , considering Tennessee’s stout defense. The Bills really struggled to break big plays, with their longest result of the day a 16 yard run from LeSean McCoy. Allen scored a rushing touchdowns and generally made smart decisions most of the day, but rarely attempted to attack the Titans defense. He threw for fewer than five yards per attempt, and though it wasn’t his fault, Allen had an interception bounce off Andre Holmes into the hands of a defender. The big plays weren’t available, but that was enough for today’s win.The other side of Buffalo’s treatment was their stronger commitment to LeSean McCoy and the running game. McCoy had more rushing attempts in this game than he had in the rest of the season to this point. the Titans defense mostly contained him, but he still produced more than 100 all-purpose yards. The Bills finished with an unsexy 43 carries for 144 yards and a Josh Allen touchdown.At 2-3, the Bills climbed out of the AFC’s basement, and preserved Sean McDermott’s winning record for at least two more weeks (the head coach is now 11-10 with the Buffalo Bills).NotesNew waiver addition Jordan Phillips had a good day, in on two tackles for loss.Rookie Taron Johnson netted his first career interception.Rookie Tremaine Edmunds had his second career forced fumble. Shaq Lawson and Jerry Hughes also forced fumbles on the day, and the Bills recovered two of those three.Corey Bojorquez appeared to injure his upper arm, but it didn’t impact his punting. He downed his next kick within the five yard line.Ray-Ray McCloud all but iced the game on his second career catch with a bubble screen for a first down at the end of the fourth quarter.This was the first game-winning drive of Josh Allen’s career.Bojorquez was the only notable injury to come out of this game in real time.
