D. L. Hot-Flamethrower

I wonder what he said after the video goes away? My guess is he continued to stare. I wonder if Kroft is a possibility this week?

Heading into NE, I was curious what the (numbers in starts) for the Bills & JA look like pre-injury 2018 (5 starts), and since he returned against Jax on 11/25/18 (9 starts) through this Sunday. W/L Record: pre- we were 2-3 and avg 14.6 ppg and allowing 18.2 post- 6-3 22.0 ppg and allowing 18.9 Clear improvement by the offense and the team Passing Game: pre- he was attempting 25 passes per game for 6.0 yds/att and 11.0 yds/comp while completing 55.6% for 152 ypg, with a 2-5 TD-Int ratio and a 4.0 int% post- 31.6 atts/game for 7.0yds/att and 12.5 yds/comp and a 56.3% for 221 ypg, an 11-10 TD-Int ratio and a 3.5 int%. It is interesting to note that without the 6-15 opening game appearance vs Ravens, In just the starts his completion % is pretty flat before and after (56%) . However, he has increased his yds/att and yds/comp substantially. I wonder if this is a sign of improved accuracy? leading to more YAC due to better ball placement and reads. The TD:Int ratio is better and only a slight improvement in INT % (needs to improve still). Mobility: Pre-3.6 sacks/gm with 30.2 yds lost and 6.2 rushes for 25.8 yds (4.2/att) and 3 rushing TDs. Post- 1.3 sacks/gm with 8.4 yds lost and 8.9 rushes for 64.6 yds (7.3/att) and 8 rushing TDs. This is especially interesting to me. The rushes+sacks are almost identical when added together (around 10 game)both pre and post. Pre Injury he was losing 30 yds on sacks and gaining 25 running, a net of minus 5 yards. Post he is losing about 8 on sacks and gaining 65 running, a net of plus 57 yards. The yards pre and post tell a story of a QB maturing and putting the ball under his arm and taking as much as he can. Closing: So it appears that you have a QB who is making better decisions( in spite of yesterday's bone-headed pass) and using his legs to help avoid the pass rush, and doing it while reducing his INT%. Significantly, JA has raised his yards/att and yards/comp as well. I think you can argue his accuracy has improved, in spite of the comp% being 56% both pre and post. And further that something clicked when he was injured and Anderson & Barkley came on board. What remains to be seen is whether he has enough around him going forward this season. Thanks for reading. Curious what some of you think? Excellent analysis.

One of your better posts ever! I couldn't have said it better.

I've said it before and still believe it, Baker is close to if not at what he is. Not saying that's terrible, but he doesn't have much more upside.

When was the last time a SB winning coach looked like Freddie Kitchens?

I guarantee Belichick will have more respect for the Bills going in, then some of the so-called Bills fans, who post on here.

I'm glad he has stuff to work on and improve. His potential is sky high! Imagine he is this great already. And yet a win! man is he gonna be good when he corrects all those screwups

What did he injure?

Good post! 100% correct, the key thing is to survive and win and Josh did that today.

Have another one

If it doesn't kill you it makes you stronger!

Dude, you're obviously a fan of the golden domers, that's good on you. Personally, I don't care about them. If you're happy with where your favorite team is that's your perogative-more power to you. As for the stats, they are just facts that are being reported, I have no interest in researching NDs 18 losses since 2000. Again, if you're happy with the standard that is now in place of winning a game against a top 5 team once every couple decades go for it.

Not sure what Alabama has to do with anything I said. But, by my reasoning to be a top team you should be able to hold your own (.500 record) to prove you belong. Clearly, Kelly is the current program, after 10 years this is who they are.

3-8 vs top 10 teams under Brian Kelly, 1-17 against top 5 teams since 2000. Hard to make an argument they are a top program IMHO. I was brought up to be a ND fan throughout the 70s and 80s. My Dad said they did things the right way. I was also raised catholic. Let just say I learned along the way that was a myth, along with their schedule, and they also don't get top talent like they did when Holtz was there.

Reality in sports is your won-lost record. At the end of the day all the woulda, coulda, shouldas mean nothing.

Wonder what PFF has to say about?? Probably something like Zay Jones with his 3 rec in 7 targets-but boy he was in the right spot on every play.

I've always felt this was a classic case of the more finished product versus the raw potential. You can fill in the blanks as to which one is which. The Browns made their decision and the Bills their own. Personally, I feel it is the job of the team to have some imagination and vision. Some, I understand, are in the I whatt have you done crowd?

I'm hoping for the John Madden 10 years in one place rule for Adam Gase and the Jets.

"Josh Allen is inaccurate" "BBFS" And the creme de la creme "What makes me sick is the guys we passed on to get to get Allen ... "

This is what I see as well. Only argument might be Lamar ahead of Darnold. Lamar has a much better organization behind him and Sam might prove better in the long run given the chance.

This is 100% correct! Anyone old enough to remember prior to Y2K(I am) will tell you there we no Patriot fans in existence. This covers the Boston and NE areas as well. They are the worst fans in the world now, all bandwagon jumpers. My 2 brothers in law who never touched a Football in their lives, now go to games and won't stop beating their chests.

Any guesses on what PFF will have to say about it? They're usually the opposite of what you've seen....so I'm guessing Allen D-, Zay Jones A-

As usual you get it!!!

I'm giving him an A this week, felt he was the MVP of the game.
