So here is the 2019 to date records based on 300 yard passing games 37 W 33 L & 2 T (Week one Stafford & Murray). Now the interesting stat 14 of the losses were in games where the winning QB too threw for over 300 yards. Here is where some of you need a refresher course..... When both QB's throw for 300 yards, it means that they needed to score points and passing yards were important & thus loss was not really due to the team throwing for 300, but the other team throwing for over 300...... For example Week 1 bother Keenum & Wentz threw for over 300 in a 32-27 game. Yes Keenum lost, but throwing for 300 resulted in a close game..... The only tie had both Murray & Stafford over 300, without 300 one would have I bet lost the game. Of the 14 losses where both threw for 300, 9 were decided by less then a TD. Of the 23 300 yard passing game where only the winning QB threw for that amount, 10 won by less then a TD, which tells me 300 was very important to help win the game. Of the 19 losses where only the losing QB threw for 300. 13 lost by less then a TD..... Which says that throwing for over 300 kept them in the game and a game that was decided by less then one possession. So to say 300 (and yes I use this as an arbitrary # that has been used throughout the year as a measure) isn't important is just wrong!!!!!

Yep 1 takes the monkey off their back (Bills Coaching Staff & McD), from there I then want to see multiple games where we can rely on Allen to be the catalyst for the team and scoring in the high 20's-30;'s......,

Yes my vote is coaching, game plan & the overall coaching philosophy is stunting him and it is taking longer to figure out than it should. 300 should be simple, but hasn't been for the Bills in 40 games (39 under McDermott).

This is what people don't get..... This is a QB league. We have no idea what The Bills have in Allen due to the coaching, game planning & defense first mantra of this staff. Take a look at Chicago who has no idea whjat to do, because they have a tough schedule & no where near as dominant a D as they thought they had along with a QB they aren't sure is what they hoped for. Same in Jacksonville last year and many others. It is having a QB that can rally a team when needed that the Bills need to firgure out if they have. Not being able to throw for 300 & put up 30+ points is a real concern. And what happens next year when the Bills have a tougher schedule as the # 2 team in the division & SF, Seattle & LA Rams to start on the schedule?

https://www.footballdb.com/stats/300-yard-passing.html See above for 2019 stats. Remove the losing QBs where both threw for over 300 and yes winning % is well over 60%..... That tells me that is a pretty good recipe for winning. Sure when Brady, Rodgers, Brees throw for 300 they too are pretty successful...... Next......

No when you don't look at the actual stats or details and throw insults it shows your lack of critical thinking. If Allen throws for 300 vs. The Eagles, one can reasonably expect the game is closer and maybe winnable. Just adjusting for when both QBs throw for 300, then the winning % is closer to 60%. The fact the Bills have gone 40 games without a 300 yard game is troubling. It shows a lack of understanding of where the league is evolving. Yes losing QBs throw for 300 plus but that also puts pressure on the winning team too to keep scoring. Very few 300 yard games where the qb did not score 20+ points.

Very simply 300 yards means you are capable of bringing a team back or staying in a game. I hate when people bring up records and don't throw out when both QBs threw for 300 and one lost. People going on about 300 not meaning anything seems to miss the point that if Allen threw for 300 vs. the Eagles the Bills probably win. Same vs. NE..... There are too posts about how often the Bills have lost by 10+ and if you don't think throwing for 300 may have had an affect on the outcome, get your head out of the sand. And this is not about Allen. The Bills have gone 40 games, so plenty of blame to go around and this is on McDermott and the coaching staff

I am a Bills fan from the day I started watching football. There was no father who was a fan telling me who to watch or teaching me the intricacies of the sport. I liked all sports & cheer for the local teams. I have no deep knowledge of the draft or know all the starters at each position or get very excited about trades or drafting on the offensive line or linebackers & DB's. I want them to perform and cheer for them. I will see who the Bills drafted, the scouting reports, rating draft picks by team (i.e. ABC....) & that's about the end of it for me. I do not & will repeat it play fantasy football. I do a weekly pool vs. the spread & that is it. I am however a fan of QB's, passing yards, WR's & having a productive exciting running game (not 3 yards & a cloud of dust). I want to see the offense score 35 points, throw for 300+ yards & move the ball up & down the field. The Kelly K-gun Bills were the best. The Buffalo Vs. SF No punt game was the best game I ever saw. So yes when I hear McDermott talk about "THE PROCESS" and "CHARACTER" players and intimate they want to grind out games, make few mistakes & his idea of a great win is 14-10 (and we do know that is his attitude) it rankles me. I am a fan and exciting is 35-31, not 17-14. And yes I think Allen can be that franchise QB, because if he is not, the Bills are back to square one. Some of you just want wins (of course we all do), but again I too want to be entertained, and frankly the Bills are not a fun team to watch. So tell me why you watch & what you want from the Bills.

Maybe if the Bills threw to them too in 2016 (and Watkins healthy) we'd have seen what they had. Point is why would any offensive player want to come play in McClappity's 14-17 points or bust offense?

No because it is pretty obvious how the board reacts whenever McClappity says something. I want to see exciting offensive football, wins and to be entertained. Going between 6-10 & 9-7 as the Bills do year after year, and this regime refusing to concentrate or have a high powered offense that can score in the high 20's-30's (heck have only scored over 20 is three games (28, 21 & 31 with a defensive TD) doesn't make for fun or any longterm winning football imo.

Woods, Goodwin & Watkins..... Yep a bad group of receivers..... Again lot's of teams have money, however coming to Buffalo is a tough sell for a marquee player..... 10 wins with this schedule should be a minimum when you should have 5 wins vs. tanking teams (Miami, Washington & NYJ), have won vs. NYG,, winless Cincy and have upcoming games vs. Denver & Pitt without a QB....... They then have dysfunctional Cleveland, Dalls, NE & Balt..... 10 should be the minimum & then a second place schedule in 2020......

5 wins (four of which against teams with a grand total of 3 wins)...... And a signature win 14-7 over Tennessee..... Glass half full..... He did not take over a 4 win team..... He took over a team that had gone 9-7, 8-8 and 7-9 (where they last in OT week 16 or too could have made the playoffs)......

Here we go again...... If you believe in The Process McClappity is bang on..... This 5 year plan will soon be 6-8 and then they'll be a new set of excuses. The offense makes no banes that it is about 17 points, no mistakes (penalties are fine, turnovers are not) and the defense being elite. And again we line up on opposite sides. Those behind The Process applaud him, others shake their head & think :More of the Same".....

We agree to take the chains off him...... As for the process..... Yes every team has a plan and goals in place. What they don't do is go on and on referring to it as this magical potion that they have the answer to calling it "The Process"......

Not every team uses that as their Mantra...... Sorry I am not a salary cap expert, but again people cling to the narrative that the Bills were in Salary cap hell. Frankly I don't believe they were, but sounds like a good excuse. This team & some here have excuse after excuse. As bad as Miami & Washington are, they too are relying on picking that star QB. So if the Bills beat Washington that will mean wins over teams with 0,0,1,1 & 2 wins & a signature win over 4 win Tennessee (who benched there QB in large part to his performance vs. the Bills Elite defense).

Shhh, that will ruin his narrative......

Seem to miss this 4 TDs 0 Picks. Oh & a low scoring SB...... Way to pull that rabbit out of the hat...... You guys really hate Offense & exciting football????

You're not allowed to say that here where McClappity preaches 14-10 games...... Remember "Trust the Process" Again as usual you are missing the point. This is a QB driven league and the Bills need to know whether Allen is the guy (& I think he is). However they don't give him any real weapons, an offensive game plan that is based on scoring points and have yes had a cupcake schedule so no one knows for sure. I love the Bills and want to see them win, want exciting offensive football and to see results more like the LA Rams & SF 49'ers who re-built and have immediate success, then this Process that next thing we know may be year 4, 5 6.......... I'm happy the Bills are 5-2, just not thrilled with their play for the most part.

Again 5-2 but not a convincing win to date..... Yep better then losses, just stating a fact. The point of the Thread is again the # here who go on about "The Process". Wonder if you all have copies of "The Secret", which this hackneyed phrase/mantra reminds me of.

I love you guys..... Believe it or not I am not jumping ship and been a fan for as long as it says as per my user name. What I don't like is this bull called "THE PROCESS" and the # who thought Rex & Marrone were so bad when their records were the same or better then McClappity. I hate how ugly & uninspired the Offense is and that most games are a slog to watch. I want to see if we have a QB. I want 24-40 points/game. I want 300 yard passing games. It is because i am such a huge fan that I am here & want more.

Obviously the first two believe in it....... The point is this was a .500 team prior and let's hear how it was so so bad a team..... No the Bills are not Cleveland (see their record the last 20 years). https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/cle/index.htm Sorry if I expect more......

This team finished 9-7, 8-8 & 7-9 the prior three years to Coach McD & we've been forced fed the process in 2017 & on..... Yep 5-2, with a cupcake schedule and still we hear particularly on here about the Process..... Sorry I want more & hope that is the sentiment of most fans & ownership.

Will you and some others continue to bang this drum year 10 of the Process?

This fan base is pretty gullible...... Look what they did vs. the Jets, Titans, Cincy, Giants.... Yes they played great vs. NE.

I'd say 7 weeks!!!! The Bills refuse to play entertaining offensive football..... And sometimes the Defense rises to the occasion.
