  1. I still think it is the conservatism in the offensive structure. They had a great game running & Defense was very good. I still am not convinced they can score enough points (unless they play Miami?).
  2. Love 538..... Excited about Josh & the Real Test will be vs. Dallas, which will score points & in desperation mode. Admit saying Real Test is unfair as he's passed everyone to date (except the 300 yard one), but still need to see the Bills offense be able to score when needed in a high scoring game. Can't see Dallas scoring less then 24 Thursday.
  3. Now if only Allen played Miami every week. I am a believer, but he certainly seems to have the Dolphins #.....
  4. 3-17 is pathetic..... This is a different thread..... And yes 300 yards passing usually results in more points and enables you to stay in games where the other team puts up 20+.
  5. Is scoring 30 points so out of the ordinary & not possible? Check almost any team and their ability to score over 20 points & in higher scoring games. Bills have scored over 20 points in 19 of 40 games coached by McD (haven't gone through defensive scores or ultra-short fields). This offense needs to improve.
  6. I will continue to bang the drum that the coaching of the offense & Allen and refusal to open up the offense, throw for 300 and see what they really have in Josh Allen. I am 100% behind him and want him to the Bills QB the next dozen years. Scoring 20 is not a high benchmark in this league and almost every team would tell you that is the minimum they expect week after week. Here is the Bills record when the opposition scores 20 points vs. the Bills 3-17. The Bills have beaten TB in 2017 30-27 Jacksonville 2018 24-21 Miami 2019 31-21 Discuss????
  7. And I've commented there & today that every QB does it (usually within 8-10 games at worst). The fact the Bills have gone 41 without is amazing. This team is .500 over those games have been blown out multiple times & shown they really can't come back (save NYJ) or be competitive when the other team scores over 20 points.
  8. I'm an Allen fan, so quit confusing the point..... What I want is to see his full potential & ability & 20 passes & 160 yards is not going to get him there. What was disappointing was when down two scores vs. Philly he was not good.
  9. 41 games without a 300 yard game and no big deal for every NFL QB. https://www.footballdb.com/stats/300-yard-passing.html Actually show me a starting QB who is a starter who hasn't thrown for 300 in their second season? Again Daboll & McD are the smartest people in the room?
  10. And next year a much tougher schedule, which means this year is the year to see what he can do at least against some of the worst teams in the NFL. Mason Rudolph was not the 7th pick & was the third string QB (in only because of injuries). They had no choice but to dumb it down. What a ridiculous comparison.
  11. Not disagreeing, however over & over we see every other "okay" QB in the NFL able to put up 300 yards (yes a # recognized in all metrics) fairly early in their careers & Allen only has a few around 250...... This is all on Daboll & McD...... For all those preaching the Process & a 4-5 year plan, then the 7th pick and his viability is of paramount importance. Need to see what the Bills have at QB or back to the drawing board.
  12. 20 passes a game & under 200 yards with his highest total through 19 games of 253 tells me they are not doing a good job with him. Daboll (along with McD's coaching philosophy) is the problem imo (or so I hope).
  13. No I think the OC & coaching staff have no idea how the game is played in 2019, have terrible, schemes, playcalling & philosophy along with have training wheels on Allen like he is a 6th round rookie draft pick playing only because your starter & back-up are injured (i.e. Pittsburgh). It's time to have Allen (and the offense) go out and score 35 points & play 4 quarters & not play the game between the 20's and expect the defense (or missed fgs) to win a game 14-7. The Bills need to see what they have in Allen long term and quit playing like this is the 70's.
  14. No the Bills were trailing & they easily pounded the ball on them (and converterd third downs). https://www.espn.com/nfl/playbyplay?gameId=401128037 Maybe if the Bills came out more in Rhythm then a different result.
  15. I LIKE ALLEN!!!!! I think he will be the star that the Bills drafted. I HATE DABOLL & MCD's coaching philosophy and inability to understand how important the QB & passing is in today's game. This is 100% not about Allen, it is about the COACHING!!!!!
  16. I picked some contemporaries, none of them considered stars, with some having signed huge contracts & put together good careers. I included Goff, who looked like a bust his first 6 games under Jeff Fisher & lo & behold an innovative smart HC did it almost immediately under him (1st or second game). Trubisky may not be a great QB, buit did it quickly too. Bridgewater is now a serviceable back-up and had bad breaks and was considered a good prospect, did it quick too. You really have an issue with Deshawn Watson? We too know Lamar did it week 1 vs. Miami. Carr week 7, Prescott week 10 (great team went 13-3 a year after Romo was injured after a 3-1 start that lost 11 of next 12) I decided not to go on about the future HOF QB's playing today, but showing that everyone seems to do it within 10 games.... Remember too that no one thought anything of Tom Brady year 1 as he was a 6th round draft pick in a different game back then. Everyone I've pointed out does it approximately 3X's/yr...... The Bills are on to game 42 without one..... And I probably expect Allen will need 300 yards this weekend, because I do expect Cleveland to score 24 minimum.
  17. Forget the OP..... I am going through the top 20 QB's in 2019 & how long it took them to reach 300 yards. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/years/2019/passing.htm#passing::pass_rating It is quite apparent that the answer is "NOT LONG". The outlier is as people have pointed out Russell Wilson who did it as a 3rd round pick & in his last game of the season in the playoffs. Also note how good & dominant his team was his first 3 years (especially the defense). We have already commented on Rivers, Brady, Brees, Rodgers.... Let's looks at the others. Stafford threw for 416 on a team that went 2-14, but won that game (was injured & started only 10 games). Cousins was the back-up to RG3 & did it within his first 10 games Watson within his first 6-7 games Bridgewater 4th game..... Trubisky in under 10 years....... Allen is now 19 starts & most passing yards in a game is only 253... Could keep going, but using this list it is obvious they all do it quickly, and how that is considered a bad thing and doesn't result in a quicker learning curve and positive long-term results just does not know football. 20 passes a game & under 200 yards passing can happen from time to time (either you blow out a team or get blown out) but is not a good learning curve for a QB....
  18. That we are up two td's+ against lousy teams headed into the fourth and have shown the ability to move the ball up and down the field.
  19. Shaw66 expected better from you. If the Bills were 6-2 and the 6 wins were convincing, there'd be plenty of press. They have been in tight games into the fourth in every game vs. teams with 0,1,1,1,2 & 4 wins (oh and they missed 4 fgs in the game).... If the Bills beat the Pats, maybe then it'd be a different story.
  20. I expect 1-2 games that they win convincingly against terrible opposition. 9 Weeks & I counted 43 games where there was a minimum of a 10 point spread entering the 4th...... or about 5/wk...... And again 300 is a benchmarks that every great QB hits fairly early and is not a difficult feat, unless the Buffalo Bill. The fact we can't reach 300 vs. lousy teams is disconcerting. I keep saying as a huge Bills fan I want to know what Josh Allen is and 20 passes/game is not enough.
  21. I'm comparing coaching staffs that thought their Defenses were so good, that QB play was secondary. Well their Defenses are good, maybe very good, but not elite & can't overcome bad QB play & offensive schemes. The Bills need to know what they have in Allen & 20 passes/game & <200 tells me nothing vs. teams with 0-2 wins & bad defenses.....
  22. Yes I am beating the drum again as I want Allen to succeed and be a star in this league. The last 4 weeks we see Allen's #'s going down. Weeks 1-3 uneven but 240-255 yards passing and since then less & less. The Mantra of mistake free football and less & less passing yards is concerning as I want to see what the Bills have in Josh Allen. He has as others have said looking more & more like check down Tyrod thanks to this coaching staff. Even those preaching at the foot of McD & going on about the Process talk about that 4-5 year plan. Take a look at the Bears & Jaguars & what happened to them. Two teams that thought they had Elite Defenses and only needed a game manager to not make mistakes & take them deep into the future. Bortles is the butt of jokes (watch The Good Place) and not sure where he even is. Truibinsky just put up 125 yards & is close to being benched or labeled a bust!!!! If this is a 4-5 year process don't we need to see who the Bills have in Josh Allen?
  23. And that is exactly the same mistake that Chicago has done with Trubinsky & Jacksonville with Bortles & when needed we know Bortles is a Bust (watch The Good Place to see what a joke he is) and Trubinsky looks to be headed that way too. Got to see what the Bills have in Allen!!!!!
