  1. Maybe,  but he hasn't shown nearly enough yet for me to be comfortable handing him the job,  and Harty and Sherfield shouldn't be on the roster next year.  All else being equal,  I would definitely be taking a WR in R1 and probably another one in the mid rounds.  

  2. Accounting for pass attempts, sacks and running plays,  if you're going to put the ball in the QB's hands around 750 times per season,  you're going to have to put up with some turnovers.  I do think Allen's fumbles are an issue,  but the career average of 1 INT per 40+ pass attempts is definitely manageable as long as he's putting points on the board.  Matt Stafford led the league in INTs in 2021...the year they won the Super Bowl.  Even this season it's been manageable and the biggest issue usually hasn't been the two or three extra INTs he's thrown over the course of the season,  but that the offense was stalling out far too often in the final weeks with Ken Dorsey at OC.  That's not to say there's no room for improvement and that he shouldn't work to eliminate as many INTs as he can,  but it's not the end of the world.

    Here you go. Gabe didn’t mess up.

     

     

     

    The Jaguars and Dolphins were in a much better position to cover the middle on those two plays. If Davis just runs straight upfield against the Eagles,  he's going to run right past the defender and there's no one else back there. Yes,  he still gets open to the outside corner,  but it's a much more difficult throw for Allen,  especially with the Eagles blitzing, and it puts the CB between them.  Watching that,  and knowing it's an option route,  I strongly suspect that's a mistake by Davis.

    Bass is being out kicked like McD is being out coached. 

     

    A 95% FG conversion rate would be right in line with the best three to five kickers in the league each year.  For that to be the total against the Bills this far into the season is very likely a statistical abberation.  It doesn't necessarily say anything about Bass,  though again,  this hasn't been his best year.

    Yet somehow in same conditions on same field opposing kickers are 19/20 - 95%. Meanwhile Tyler Norwood is 78.3%. %’s matter. Diff between winning and losing my friend. 

     

    The year-to-year league average is usually in the mid 80% range,  so that 19/20 stat would seem to be a statistical outlier.

    Other guy hit a 60 harder in the rain 

     

    He did,  but I'm not going to sit here and pretend that either kick in that kind of slop was a guarantee. 

  7. There's nothing wrong with him.  I agree,  he's not having his best season,  but today he had one blocked and missed a 48 yarder in a downpour.  That's not something I'd panic or worry about moving forward.

    Sure why not. Don’t care about interceptions as he’s throwing them to the other teams almost on a weekly basis. But it’s no big deal. I’m sure there’s no stats at all that supports losing the turnover battle in a game leads to losing games. 

     

    No,  it's really not a big deal unless the QB is throwing an unusually high number of them.  14 or 15 a year,  which is what it has been before now is definitely manageable.  The Bills' record in recent years before this one is proof enough of that. 

     

    Whatever is wrong with this offense is more than just interceptions.

    He isn't at 2:1 right now. His INT% is 3.1 this year, almost as high as his rookie year and one of the highest in the NFL.

     

    You want a 3:1 ratio anyway, not 2:1.

     

    I'm not defending his play as of late.  There's more going on than just the interceptions.  I'm just saying that on general principle,  the interceptions are not necessarily an issue as long as the offense is otherwise moving the ball and the QB is producing touchdowns.  Right now,  that's not the case.
