Yeah, he was terrible on non-pass plays.
Sure there are always a few plays, where you don't get maximum effort blocking from every wide receiver
Stefon diggs also laid some really good blocks here over 4 years.. 100% he had some good blocks including one that sprang Knox for a touchdown
You can find clips of every single wide receiver doing what diggs did in that clip

thank you for bumping this topic. My reaction was WTAF is This???
#21 drops his stick and it was ITS ON.....time to throw down and kick some booty! I've never seen THAT before. Just WAITING for the puck to drop and then WHAMMO
lol I love men who play hockey. Tough, strong, agile, supreme balance and they are NOT afraid of a bit of body on body contact
I love the fisticuffs I admit it LOL. A clear point was made right from the beginning of that game. Better watch yer back Jack. I'm googling for backstory oh just caused That to happen.

My best friend coaches jr hockey in Canada and it is life for Canadians
His best player got cheap shot at last week.. punched in the back of the head and broke his jaw on the ice... Rough
It was a three-game series ...
So the next day at the opening face off... My buddy asked the entire team who is stepping to the plate
One kid raised his hand.. my friend literally taped his wrists up on the bench like a boxer and gave him smelling salts... Then sent him out to kick ass at the first puck drop
Didn't even take the face off.. as soon as the puck was dropped he smoked the kid as hard as he could in the face

What I don't get is we just traded a wide receiver who people called a Cancer and a diva
Yet they want Marvin Harrison Jr who is 100% a diva also ... Dude didn't even talk to the media at the combine
He's full of himself

Corey Bojorquez would like a word with you.
Matt Haack on the other hand is a holder God. Unfortunately, it just seems his windup when punting takes forever.
I already mentioned this that Corey b struggles were vastly overrated
He was not missing laces every single snap.. I went through every single hold of his career in Buffalo and he did not have over 8 snaps where he did not get the laces around
Including extra points... Hundreds of holds... 8 didn't get laces
There has never been a punter who has been fired because he has been bad at holding... Especially if you're a good punter
Corey B didn't get re signed because he would kick a 60-yard punt... Then Shank it for 20 yards... Then call his own fake field goal
But he's good enough that he instantly gets a job everywhere he goes because his holding problems are overblown... It is a repetition thing
Holder God is the funniest thing I've ever heard... Corey B's new kicker in Cleveland called him the best holder he's ever had
It's not hard to learn if you practice.. Corey B called his own fake kick.. that's where his head is at

Well all I know is there were at LEAST 3 his last year here and at least 3 when he was holding for Crosby in Green Bay.
I agree it is an overrated skill and should be easy to learn. But Bojo sure managed to make it look hard.
He called his own fake field goal
What do you expect from that guy! He's insane

The most supportive thing we can do is support him to continue improving and working on his game to achieve the ultimate goal, isn’t it?
To think he doesn't work his ass off as crazy.. he certainly has one of the best work ethics ever seeing he went from zero star recruit to NFL superstar
He's allowed to have a life
And yes I want him to keep improving because he can be the best the world has ever seen

I am not saying Allen is not a elite QB. He 100% is, I feel he is the second best QB in the league. I can't regard Burrows as second best since he misses a third of the games and is hobbling and ineffective for another third.
What I don't understand is the concept of (A) Allen being pretty much perfect as he is (which you are not saying), or (B) somehow, if he tries to improve on the things he is not good it, it would kill his game.
I guess I don't know what short game statistics you are talking about. To me, statistically elite in the short game would mean getting the ball out quickly and hitting receivers in stride so that they have good YAC. Both of those have never been Allen's strong points and I see very little evidence that it is getting a lot better, except for a game or two here and there. Ok. maybe qualify it a litte, it did look a litte better under Brady though I would need to see more games before we can say anything.
Of course he can improve.. Tom Brady could improve so could Peyton Manning
Josh Allen went from a short game weakness his first few years... To leading the AFC in pass rating and completion percentage under 10 yards by year three
I'd say that is Master class improvement
He certainly can improve and he has gotten better at areas of his game every single year even if stats don't show it
I've been adamant he will be all world by 30 or 31.. he will have 60 passing touchdowns
I've said it here before and I'll throw it out again
Josh Allen at age 31 season will have 60 touchdowns

I have to disagree Not that Allen is not a world class quarterback, that this by itself means he definitely must be watching enough film. I agree that he is probably not watching it at Johnny Manziel level. I hate to always go back to the same point, but teams play Kyler Murray uniquely also. Allen's film watching habits were so poor that his friends in the Bills QB room tease him about it and a very friendly interviewer asks him about it, that must have been pretty noticeable indeed.
I am not aware that he is statistically elite in the short game. I have not looked at the data but it doesn't seem like it from the eye-test, which of course could be wrong. I agree that he definitely looked better in the short game after Brady came in and there were some games where the short game really looked very good.
He has been statistically elite in the short game since year three...
It's dipped a little bit since Beasley has gone but still in the top echelon of NFL quarterbacks
He's on Pace to have the most touchdowns in NFL history... We need to start supporting the most talented player in the NFL.. not knocking a few of his faults
Which are more quirks that he never got to work out on the bench... So they pop up under stressful situations
The longer professional quarterback has to learn without being thrown to the fire he can work out bad quirks.. Josh was thrown to the fire, survived, became a star... But he still has quirks

Romo and Bojorquez.....
Holding skill is Completely overrated
I went back and looked at every single bojorquez hold over years and he did not have over eight bad holds
Including extra points and place kicks... His new kicker has called him the best holder he ever had
It's a very overrated skill... There has never been a player who has been cut because of his holding abilities... Even Romo is only famous for one botched snap
Because any athlete worth his salt will get it with repetition
Corey B calling his own fake field goal.. and shanking 17 yard punts was way more of the reason he wasn't re signed... Same as LA... He can bomb it 60 yards
Then Shank an 18 yarder
Inconsistency is why he doesn't find long-term homes... Not holding ability

OK, then we partially agree then.
I just find his explanations, i.e., excuses, for not watching film cringe-worthy. My test is to put the words into the mouth of Kyler Murray and ask how people would respond to that. Kyler Murray watches film too with his coaches etc.., what Murray was not watching was the stuff they told him to review on his own. If it was that noticeable thatthe others QBs in the Bill's QB room were teasing Allen about it and that McAfee heard about it, Allen must have watched very little film indeed. Hopefully with the ex-gf and Diggs drama gone, it will be easier for Allen to focus.
I don't think they are close to being the same case
These NFL teams have recorders which know how long players watch film for...
Kyler Murray watched very little film.. so much so they put it into his contract he had to.. Johnny manziel when they reviewed watched zero film
Josh Allen has statistically became elite in the short game... Impossible to do unless you do a lot of film work
There is a difference between watching film on your upcoming opponent... And watching NFL film in general
His week-to-week opponent doesn't matter as much because he is played so uniquely... What he needs to do is watch tape of how ,30 other teams has played him across years
Which he obviously does because he's a world-class quarterback
Watching clips of the Patriots versus the jaguars doesn't do much... He needs to watch clips of the Patriots versus Josh Allen
Because he is played so uniquely

Easy is a Super slow Tim Duncan. zero chance of being a top ten pick, I am guessing early second round.
Agreed. 💯

I am saying if any other qb says this they would get laughed at. I am sure teams don't play Kyler Murray the same way as other qbs either.
If you feel that is reasonable, fine, for me, this is the kind of excuse you expect from a high schooler, not from someone who could and should be an all time great.
I repeat, Allen has very few turnovers in the playoffs. You can't be at the top of your game all the time, but that says if he is prepared and focussed he can be more consistent.
Listen he certainly can be more dialed in... He's very relaxed at times which is what you want but he's too relaxed at times
When he is focused he is the best in the world ... Remember he's 27.. i have no doubt with maturity he will be the best at 30

You sure about that?
Basically any idiot who played high level football.. if you can get to the NFL.. you can physically hold
It's not that hard of a skill...
Punters hold for kickers because specialties spend the most time together during practice... They have hours to get the repetition down
Quarterbacks used to hold but due to the collective bargaining agreement... Practicing is very restricted... And quarterbacks need the majority of time practicing the playbook
So they went to punters... And as long as they can catch the snap.. getting it down is not an issue
It is basically a repetition thing.. not that hard of a skill for any football player
The only people with the time for the repetition is punters tho

Bass O Matic was a great nickname- and one of the greatest skits in SNL history. I do, however share some of the OPs concern with Bass. Perhaps a holder change will help, but they need to have another plan in case he’s “ lost it “.
There is zero chance a holder change will help lol
The holds were fine ... It's not that hard of a skill to learn
Pat McAfee never held in college and got it down in the pros
It's just repetitions

Allen specifically said he doesn't want to watch "too much" film. I am sure Kyler Murray feels the same way.
Completely out of context
Allen said he is played differently than every other QB so film isn't giving him what it does to most
Because he isn't played the same

Ok,. I'll bite. Zach Eedy is listed as 7' 4" and 300 lbs and probably weights a little more. Maybe not quite the BMI of a typical NFL interior lineman but how is Eedy a beanpole?
Chet Holmgren is listed as 7' 1" and 209 lbs, Victor Wembanyama is 7'4" and 210 lbs. Those guys are beanpoles.
Eedy is fucking Frankenstein !
That's why Burns isn't built for the NBA.. he just doesn't have the length

He’s Tim Duncan 2.0.Super poor man's tim Duncan
I don't think he's a top five draft pick... Probably more of a role player in the NBA than a dominant star

The Chiefs just won a Super Bowl on the backbone of their D.
That doesn't mean they're winning a super bowl with Chad henne lol
The bills have had top five NFL defenses for years now.. we've been number one in multiple categories
It still takes the entire team on game day... Tyler bass went wide right... The defense gave up a field goal 2 years ago with 13 seconds
It takes the entire team for 60 minutes

I don’t know, they won a lot of games with Alex Smith. Mahomes put them over the top but they were a consistent winner before he got there.
Alex Smith was a number one overall pick that got the Chiefs to the playoffs pretty consistently
And he's a good quarterback
We're talking about real backups taking over... Sure there are some outliers of success but it generally doesn't end good

Including QB or not?
I think 12 is far too high.
It depends who we replace the safeties with... And what we do at wide receiver
But you're talking about a team that has had world class point differentials the last few years
That points to talent... Which we did lose a lot
But now it's how you replace it

You honestly believe Andy Reid wouldn't be able to squeeze more than 6wins out of Wentz, Kelce, and that defense? I'd take that over all day
Well Carson Wentz wasn't on the Chiefs last year I don't think
Yes he could squeak out 8-9 wins... With a Hall of Fame coach and the best play caller
He is a top of the line Fringe starter backup quarterback
But 85% of NFL rosters don't have a backup quarterback like that

What do you have the Bills talent range in 2024?
Well before free agency is over and the draft
Definitely not in the top five...
Probably in the top 12 before we see what else happens

Not really
Browns and Steelers both made playoffs w backup QBs
Eagles won a SB w a backup
even when Mahomes got injured in that playoff game Henne immediately went on a 98 yard TD drive
The adage is basically true in the NFL
If you have two quarterbacks you have none... For the most part
There have been plenty of people to get hot for a short stint... But even history relegated Nick foles back to the bench and Carson Wentz is not a starter
They had two quarterbacks playing good and realistically none turned out to be long-term starters
They got hot at the right time which could happen
Point stands if you have a franchise quarterback and he goes down for a good amount of time you're going to struggle
Chad henne cannot play 15 games and win
All three of the Steelers quarterbacks are basically on the same level so it didn't matter who they played
I don't think the Bengals could win nine games with Browning throughout entire season
Of course there are always outliers... But that's why they're called outliers

That's not true. The Bengals won a bunch of games without Burrow last season cause of the talent around him.
They went 4-3 beating a Steelers team that can't score ... A depleted browns team , and a colts team that gave up more points than they scored and a 7-10 Vikings teams
I think Mitch trubisky on the bills could beat three of those teams at least
You keep talking about talent around the quarterback but the bills were ranked as a top five talented team the last 2 years... Nobody had the bills outside of the top five overall talent
Diggs traded to Texans for picks
in The Stadium Wall

You could also find clips of him having good effort though... That is indisputable
Playing 82% of snaps at wide receiver.. you're going to get beat up.. dinged... Tired
All of that takes a toll on your play
Did his effort decline as the year went on? Sure... Was he also on the injury report for a back injury? Yea
Does a back injury clear up in a week in the NFL? Hell no
You cannot find me one current Superstar wide receiver... Who blocks like his hair is on fire every single play
You're going to get some lazy snaps
But playing devil's advocate... If somebody like this coach is going to show his lazy snaps.. he should also show the snaps where he blocked hard because they do exist
