​The Buffalo Bills couldn’t mount a game-winning drive in the final two minutes against the Patriots and fell to their AFC East foe 29-26 inside the new Highmark Stadium on Sunday.They’re still sitting atop the division at 3-1, but the Patriots climbed back into the race at 2-2. These were my takeaways from Buffalo’s Week 4 loss. Something is up with Josh Allen as a scrambler… I thinkThe Bills have squashed any speculation about a Josh Allen injury hindering his propensity to run with the football and effectiveness doing so. And that’s all this is — speculation. We all noticed Allen pass up some easy running lanes against the Chargers in Week 3. He ran for four yards on five carries against the Patriots and most of those yards came on tush pushes. Now, of course, I’m not advocating for Allen to take punishment when scrambling or on designed runs. But Drake Maye reminded the Bills how impactful a nimble quarterback can be throughout the course of the game, particularly when the defense feels like it has called and executed the perfect counter to what the offense throws at it. And at least when Allen is scrambling, he’s seeing defenders as they approach him, is larger than all of the second and third-level defenders, and can brace for contact. More quarterbacks are actually injured inside the pocket than when scrambling outside it. Allen is the most dangerous and productive rushing quarterback in the NFL. In his career, Allen has run for three more first downs on 196 fewer rushing attempts than Lamar Jackson. Think about that. It’s a huge, borderline unstoppable element of what Allen brings to the Bills offense. And it’s been mostly missing the past few weeks when we know it’s not in Allen’s DNA to be timid rushing the football. It’s definitely something to continue to monitor closely in the coming weeks before the bye. Jim Leonhard’s blitzes aren’t regularly getting home Entering Week 4’s game against the Patriots, the Bills were 23rd in blitz rate at just 24.2%. Hardly a clear uptick from the Sean McDermott defense that was mostly blitzing-averse from an original game plan perspective. Then, Leonhard cranked the blitz dial against Maye, and it hardly worked. He blitzed the Patriots quarterback on 47.6% of his dropbacks. Against it, the third-year quarterback went 11-of-18 for 156 yards with three touchdowns and no interceptions. It’s actually been the individual play of Greg Rousseau and Deone Walker —sprinkled in with some Ed Oliver and Bradley Chubb — that has generated the most regular pressure, not Leonhard’s blitzes. And the Patriots blitzes felt significantly more effective — even blitzes of the delayed variety. They more regularly got a free rusher to Josh Allen. Part of the problem with the Bills defense through the first month of the season is that it’s a “pressure-package” based philosophy, and beyond the first half against the Lions, those pressure packages haven’t confused quarterbacks
