Billsfan1972

Well count me in as excited for 2019, albeit still concerned with the coaching on the offensive side of the ball. The fact one can be so positive and in retrospect realize that Allen's best passing game in terms of yards was 245 makes me wonder whether we as fans are just so starved here to see some offensive production.

And how few do the Bills have. Outside a lull in the second quarter where I'm 100% convinced they were ready to go in a shell and play for 17-14, the ofeense was there almost the entire game. I am very excited to see what happens with some skill players around Allen (and an Oline).

Surprise surprise, you show up in another thread to denigrate Allen..... Stick to your recaps..... We get it..... You aren't sold on Allen (I don't follow the draft closely, so let me guess you wanted Rosen or Jackson and thought this was a disastrous pick). I for one am excited about the Bills QB for the first time in ages and fingers crossed that the Bills recognize the travesty that is their offense and build one this year and that Allen will be a great QB. Here's to hope!

No. Only Allen throws bad passes. Get it right or don't bother posting.

There was no adjustment, that is where the pass was thrown and is a designed play. It was pitch & catch. That td was all Allen and Foster was the recipient.

Okay then, why were you impressed with Foster and his TD catch (2 catches all game)? It had nothing to do with him, but running the right route and catching a perfect throw. Btw I agreed the int war a terrible but thought the first down call put them in a bad position and he made a lousy call and a rookie mistake.

You're right,Allen threw 9 incomplete one and a pick 6. The 5 TDs were nice, but we need to focus on the pick 6 and 2 bad slant passes. Oh and Foster made Allen look good on that TD pass I get it now..... My bad.

No your comment and follow-up was irritating. Call them as I see them.

Yes, they should have played to get in to fg position, but the first down play was saying "we want to go into the half up 14-7", which was typical McD. As said a lousy read and pass, set up by the first down call. Much like the Bills run run pass playcalling.

Because you obsessed about the int, which while lousy was a result of the first down call being garbage and so conservative. The Foster TD was not a great catch by him it was a perfect read and throw by Allen. Yes a couple of bad slants, which he I hope will work on. 5 TDs is what I'd talk about & oh yes 97 yds rushing

Why? Because no drops? They caught the balls that hit them in the hands? They were not anything special. Ran routes and caught the ball. Theytre NFL players.

How can you be negative on Allen? The int though his fault is bad coaching and playcalling. There was over a minute and Miami had timeouts. The first down play was garbage setting up the need to get a first down. The whole second quarter was classic MvD/Daboll play with the lead. Allen is dynamic and fun to watch. Things to work on but has me excited for the first time in ages. Obviously you're biased when you have to make a point of Foster's TD, when it had little to do with him and was a great pass by Josh. Btw Darnold folded vs. NE and Mayfield not fairing well vs. Baltimore

That first down play sealed it. all coaching

That was me..... wasn't joking either. can't stand it.

I hate this offense!!! third and long

White &Edmunds can catch better then the receivers. And make hard cuts to the ball.

How? catching balls that hit them in the hands?

And now they can milk the clock...... 17-14, Bills football!!!

Best catch by a Bill all year.

And ivory almost dropped it. Thrown too hard?

And by the way watching college football yesterday and the in the two semi-final games saw catches (or adjustments on passes) again by kids who won't make the NFL that no Bill has made this season. Just unbelievable when you think about it.

So tired of this thread. some people obviously want to see the #7 Bills pick flame out, just so they ca pat themselves on the back. The eye test has seen significant improvement and cheering that with proper coaching and a competent offence around him we will see a very good qb.

I've read most of the replies and obvious that there are some who have hated Allen from day 1 and regardless of what he does will deride him. Have they watched the other rookies play and noted All22 analysis and whether they miss open receivers or make bad decisions? Doubt it, but Allen is under a microscope. A perfect example that was brought up was the Detroit game. Stafford graded better throwing dinks & dunks and having receivers winning 1 on 1 battles. However anyone who watched the game knows Allen was much better. Compare him to Lamar Jackson, who was not great vs. LA, but threw a nice TD, which should have been a 25 yard pass (missed tackles turned it into a 70 yard TD). I see way more bad passes from Lamar, but according to PFF a better rating. Has Allen thrown a shovel pass for a big gain? The stats say so little as running is not included. The redzone stat doesn't account for Allen's running, which has been crucial. The Bills receivers are incapable of winning battles or finding open space in tight areas too. Shady his best receiver has been nicked up too and that has affected Allen's rating. And playcalling is terrible too. Allen has a lot to learn and needs to have some simpler plays designed that are quick hits right at the snap. Wonder how much the narrative & #'s change if Allen completes just two passes: the pass to Clay vs. Miami (100% on Clay) and that bomb to Foster last week.

From the same marketing department that had the Nathan Peterman promotional video...... https://www.12up.com/posts/6166581-video-bills-post-embarrassing-nathan-peterman-hype-video

What is a 50/50 ball? One that should be caught 50% of the time. Great receivers win 70% of those battles. I doubt the Bills have won 5%. As stated I'm not watching highlight packages, I'm flipping channels and see catches that no Bill is capable (or has made) of. Yep wasn't an easy catch for Thomas, but one we see made in the NFL (outside Buffalo). Foster is a nice find, but stop calling him a potential #1 as he has a long was to go. Adjusting to the ball once would be nice (the Foster play yesterday was an example of a player who saw the ball vs. a CB who didn't and couldn't adjust). Oh yea & Clay vs. Miami. Zay did vs. Miami, but as per the Bills, bobbled it and trapped it on the ground. Allen tried a touch pass and that resulted in the first INT (and maybe the second too). However though a garbage time TD, it was one nevertheless and we know Belichek was not easing up (he never does). A great TD play to Zay. Allen is a rookie and has a lot to learn, but without a single receiver tough to watch. Use the cap space and sign Tate, who is a tough receiver who knows how to get open. However here we'll read that the Bills paid too much and should have spent the money on the line or defence.
