    Bills Don't have Receiver Problem, they have a perception problem-- Jim Kubiak BN

    Really interesting take.  He points out that the Bills have developed a much greater capacity to run the ball, which takes pressure off Allen.  Bills need to stick to formula to pound the football and not turn it over.  

     

    On Allen and the receivers, several interesting points.  He points out that Allen's completion percentage is up from 2024 from 63.5% to 68%, and YPG up from 219 to 222. Biggest difference is he is taking more sacks and committing more turnovers.  As to receivers, defenses are playing soft man-to man coverage and giving receivers large cushions that no receiver can just blow by and go deep, but there is lots of underneath stuff there. He points to a third-and -1 where Allen throws to Coleman immediately for a first down as defender is over 5 yards off the Line giving Coleman big cushion.

     

    He also points out Allen's footwork and accuracy sucked in the first half, and Trubisky is looking like a more competent backup.

     

    Prognosis is that Bills/Allen still not playing great but certainly can if they stick to formula. Allen just needs to play a bit smarter, but the game against Carolina in second half was a good step forward from previous weeks.

    When we remove the Baltimore game everything is worse.

    I keep seeing that phrase "zero chance," which obviously can't mean what it says. So what does it mean? That you think it's unlikely? Why not say that then? "It is REALLY unlikely he's traded." Not as dramatic? It's like my daughter saying, "I literally flew across the room." Oh, really? 

     

    Maybe I should just have another Bourbon and shut up...


     

    Lol. 

    Maybe they were open to it a week ago.
