At the end of the day, a lot of the INT's don't really matter. I mean is an INT on 4th down where the other team gets the ball at their own 5 yard line really worse than a punt? I think the way people view football scenarios is very flawed in terms of the importance of turnovers. Is a team that punts 8 times and has no turnovers in a game more likely to win than the Bills who turn the ball over 3 times? I would say most likely no.
And punt once

Davis does many things well -- he is physical in the run game (remember, he received a game ball in the Dallas game even though he did not catch a pass). I just wish he was more reliable in terms of his route running and pass catching.
I actually do hope that he is healthy enough to play against Pittsburgh -- because, due to the bad weather and Pittsburgh's tough defense, Davis would definitely make a big impact in a ball-control offense sort of day.
Speaking of Pittsburgh, for years I have thought that what the Bills REALLY need is a clone of Hines Ward. A guy who is physical and can do all those things that Davis does do well -- but at the same time has great hands and runs precise routes.
That Hines player is Shakir. I’ve been pounding that analogy since last year
they need a peerless price #wr2

We add a running QB and Fournette and Murray for some additional oomph though.
Yea but can we get some variety and give the D some different looks with our run game ? Feel like things are stale. It’s the same tackle pull play , run straight off tackle or Josh bobsled plays ….
how about pre snap motion / misdirection running.
and then lots of play action passing off it
NOW is the time to give some wrinkles. It’s win or go home!

This is one of those weather games vs a weak opponent that we need Josh to control himself.
I saw a crazy stat yesterday. Since 2020 the Bills are 16-0 when Allen doesn’t turn the ball
over. Thats an unbelievable stat.
It’s unbelievable that out of 68 total games played he’s only had 16 games where he DIDNT turn over the ball over

You mean the same Chiefs team that lost at home 20-14 to the Raiders? Same team that also loss 24-9 to the Broncos and 4 other teams? That Chiefs team?So you’re saying Dak (no idea why you brought him up when we are talking about Lamar) has no chance of beating the Chiefs at arrowhead? Come on lol. You guys are just badly and desperately grasping at straws, and irrelevant ones now to try and make your home town boy the MVP. I would lovvvvve to see Josh win it, but it’s not his year to win it.
You mean where patty throws a pick 6 after he places the ball on the ground for scoop and score on back to back plays? That’s zero reality awareness alpha.
Russ was on fire and I think patty had the flu their game. Not every single game is going to prove or disprove a player

I still can't get over the fact that so many of you thought Allen was good yesterday. Beyond his four turnovers, one of his "good" plays was a fluky throw off a helmet that happened to fall into the back of the endzone for a TD.
I hate that I'm now coming off as a hater because I'm not. I love Allen, but this thread is making me crazy and questioning some posters grasp on reality. Every week it's the same thing. We excuse every Allen mistake. It's someone else's fault every time. Gabe ran the wrong way (even though he ran into wide open space in the endzone). Wilkens just made a great play. Throwing an INT on 4th down was the "right" decision. Throwing it into play with the clock winding to zero was just giving us a chance and not sacrificing points. Give me a break.
Josh is a top 5ish player in the league. He has the talent to be the best player. But we fall over ourselves making excuses for him at every turn and it's maddening.
Until the punt return - I was cursing and saying he was a major choke artist and costing us.
sometimes your team mates have to make plays and get you juiced. Literally Allen went into god mode after that.
he and no one- literally can be perfect at all times.
but he really only had 3 bad plays. Critical and magnified as they were in scoring position. And it killed his team.
But Lamar literally falls around a ref / and then intentionally grounds it for a safety vs niners and it doesn’t show up on his “stat” sheet. Won’t show up as a sack, turnover or 2 points against….
he’s a gun slinger. That Ty Johnson play- yell at Brady - don’t have him run a route short of the end zone.

None of that matters. You know Allen’s turnover rate is the same under Brady as it was under Dorsey right? You know Allen’s passing stats are relatively pedestrian since Eagles game right?
I was the one banging the loudest drum to fire Dorsey. The offense is better since Brady took over, but not because the passing offense improved, but because we run the ball now and that’s helped bail out pass game struggles to win close games where we had been losing close games under Dorsey who didn’t run the ball.
Compare the quality of D and teams played in both. And get back to me.

I hate that I agree with you on most of this…but I do. I feel like I need a shower now 😂Allen had 5 standout games (Raiders, Wash, 1st Miami, 2nd Jets, and Eagles. But we still lost one of them (Eagles) when a bad Allen INT helped start an Eagles comeback they eventually won.
The rest of the games Allen and the offense underperformed, and ranged from bad to just ok.
Kc when they (kc) knew the needed a win and were facing back to back home losses- which never happens. Also
kc D is filthy good. You think Dak goes into arrowhead and wins that game- no way. Well see tua try.
unfortunately don’t get to see Lamar try

Are we forgetting the head coach HAD to fire the offensive coordinator ? And install a new interim coordinator - that can’t even really run HIS offense, because you know…. It’s the middle of the god dang season and they’re 6-6 and you simply have to make the best of what has been installed from preseason…..
before you say Allen caused the firing ….dont think that’s the major reason
are we also not forgetting Allen has had his ac joint destroyed in his throwing shoulder - basically all season….? Yet no one gives him a pass (although I think romo or fitz gave him some sympathy re injury)
meanwhile Trent green literally every bad throw or int was ascribing T law to his AC joint

Again, Allen played one more game than Lamar, so yardage is irrelevant as they are close to equal if Lamas plays final game and could have even over taken Allen. You’ve been told this multiple times, but still ignore it.And 2 wins is a TON in the NFL where teams with TIED records aren’t in the playoffs. And the fact that Bills were not even assured a playoff spot in the final weekend you would think you would know that. Not to mention, Lamar didn’t get that last loss as he didn’t play.
Again, he only has the total TDs over Lamar. Lamar is better in every other metric or rating than Allen this year.
So again, all you have done is cherry pick 2 “season total” stats, one of which is irrelevant cuz they are near equal. But ignored Allen’s dubious stats on INTs and total Turnovers, worse record, worse efficiency and ratings, etc etc.
You can’t build an MVP campaign on just total TDs when Allen doesn’t beat Lamar in much anything else.
This is the most homer conversation I have ever seen. I love Allen, I would win money if Allen got MVP and owe money if he doesn’t and I still would not vote for Allen over Lamar.
Allen was robbed of the Pro Bowl though
Ok so Lamar plays in that slop fest nor Easter vs Pitt and adds 120 yards passing and 60 yards rushing. 1 td and 1 to. What a case you’ve made
The 3 and 13 scramble run. To milk the clock and keep the effort to finish the game on offense. Will be BURNED into my brain for all of time. And I’m super critical of bills and Allen. If only he just made the routine safe plays more routinely

It's still wild people are still arguing Allen was legitimately close here. He wasn't in the conversation by a mile and won't finish top 3 in voting. He may not even be top 4. I'd absolutely put Stroud over him.
Allen played 1 phenomenal quarter of football out of the last 12 and was largely awful for the rest of it. As far as high-end complete games, he had 4 maybe 5 and several of those were against weak teams. That's not MVP caliber.
All we needed from him yesterday was to not put us in a massive hole, which he did. Then we needed him to be superman to pull us out of it - which he did. How many accolades should a guy get who repeatedly does that when a pedestrian game management QB would have been good enough to completely roll the opponent?
Our defense holds the highest scoring and top yardage team in the league to 14 points - including none int he 2nd half and somehow we call Allen the hero.I get some of what you are saying. What if Gabe gives a better target or look to Allen during that all out blitz ? Maybe throw is diff
what if Torrence doesn’t absolutely get abused and Wilkinson literally tackled the ball out of Allen
what if the refs called targeting w a clear helmet to
helmet on a defenseless receiver - ball on 1 and Allen scores another rushing td?
what if cook doesn’t have an atrocious drop for a perfect on the run dime over the defender in his damn bread basket?
team game fellas

Your facts aren't accurate, 1. Allen has 9 more turnovers than Lamar and if we're going to use the fact that Lamar didn't play this last week in his favor for positive stats I suppose we have to use it for negative ones to. Hey they played them before how'd he do then....oh 2 turnovers well that's not nice oh and they even took a safety on a punt when he couldn't get them out from the shadow of their own goalpost.
But like how in just one more game Lamar is somehow going to put a significant dent into Josh's 15 TD lead against a defense that he lost against with the exact same score his backup did, only he didn't have any turnovers.
2. Josh doesn't lead the league in turnovers.
I’ll help you add to this. Bal played 8th strength of schedule. Bills 3rd
I really want to know what each top
qb faces in terms of defensive dvoa for the year. Competition faced matters.
bills played a first place schedulebal a second (I think Cincy won division last year)
bal played what afc south this year ? Jax just fired their entire D staff, colts , hou , ten (I watched a lot of ten- they have one of the worst secondary I have seen in a long time)
and nfc west. Rams hawks and zona. Niners game purdy vomitted 4 times…but Lamar played a solid / clean game. I didn’t think he wowed
these factors matter. No one ever mentions these things

There was no drop, in fact, several WR/TE/RB got a chance to CATCH a ball (yes, drop, off helmets too).
While I appreciate his "blocking" that should never be the first adjective given to your team's WR2.
I think Gabe and Josh are friends and he is respected. However, he's almost always nearby one of Josh's INTs.
BINGO. I think you hit it. Josh is overconfident in his friend. Tosses the ball up or expects Gabe on a hot route and they screw up.
For sure. Allen used to do it w Knox. But Kincaid has stolen almost all the passing targets.
-
I always thought. If the bills are going to go anywhere this year. Kincaid would have to be a big factor. After a full season of this iteration /current offense. I’m doubling down. He should be THE primary target on most plays. He should be a Kelce. If we have a good corner matchup then diggs is back to 1 target. It’s the only way

why is Torrence not getting help against Wilkins?
Their coaches are owning our coaches

FIELD THE PUNT. ALL YEAR he just fair catches when there’s a return opportunity. Or he lets it bounce 40 yards

tua looks way better than allen. way more accurate. precise. on time. and takes the open play. frustrating

The 2023 - ??? Edmunds Report
in The Stadium Wall
Posted · Edited by balln
Edmunds pff 56 (woof)
Bernard 63
i see Bernard miss a lot of tackles at point of attack. But he’s far superior in impact plays. And also not looking like he’s dancing out there
OH and cap hit is insanely better for bills. That’s a bad bears contract. Flat out bad. They would honestly rather have Maine than roquan who will be first team all pro? Nonsense.
