For many fans, it was a sign of bottled-up frustration; for others, a subtle critique aimed at the young receiver. But one thing became clear, Josh Allen is not in his best moment within the team.
The loss that exposed old cracks
The defeat in Miami dropped the Bills to a 6–3 record, complicating their Super Bowl hopes. The Dolphins’ defense was relentless, sacking Josh Allen three times and forcing errors that disrupted Buffalo’s usual offensive rhythm.
Meanwhile, Keon Coleman recorded three catches for 46 yards and a touchdown, decent numbers, but far from what’s expected of a future star.

The connection between him and Josh Allen is still a work in progress, and the postgame comments only reinforced the perception of distance between the two.
Head coach Sean McDermott defended his quarterback after the game but admitted that the team needs to “reconnect emotionally” to recover the chemistry that once drove their success.
Josh Allen leadership under pressure
Inside the locker room, Josh Allen remains a central figure, especially after the departure of star receiver Stefon Diggs.
However, the pressure of carrying an inconsistent offense seems to be taking its toll on the quarterback.
During the game, his body language, eyes down, visible frustration after missed throws. Spoke as loudly as his words after the match.
Despite the tension, Josh Allen took responsibility and promised to improve every aspect of his game. “I’ve got to be better. At everything.”
