Yep. Needs to read plays better.

You brought up sample size, not me. So why did you bring it up? Sample of what? How big a size? And you have no idea how QBR is calculated (because it’s a proprietary formula with ESPN) but you use it to definitively declare a player sucks. Why don’t you just admit you have no clue? You don’t like Allen, fine. Quit pretending you have data to somehow prove what is just your opinion.

Yes I do. Regresses up if below the mean and down if above. Why do you ask? Oh, by the way, since you love QBR, can you tell us how the formula works? Or why it has been the subject of criticism? As for sample size, has Allen had a big enough sample size? What are you sampling? Have you done a power analysis? You sure you want to start down this road?

Well first of all I guarantee I understand numbers and stats better than you. Second, if you would actually read, I said he has to balance his performance over 4 quarters. Finally, a young QB that excels in the fourth quarter of games does not suck. If he did he wouldn’t perform that well when the heat is on.

So you use QBR as your benchmark, his going into today was the highest one in the 4th quarter in the league, and all of a sudden it doesn’t mean anything. OK.

He needs to balance his performance over 4 quarters. Today was a bad day for the team overall. But going into today he had the highest 4th quarter QBR in the league. Apparently you like the QBR so read that again. Guys like that don’t suck.

He’s done a lot better the past few games eliminating interceptions, but the offense looks too limited right now. They need to get Beasley involved more, have Singletary in earlier.

I hope it’s this. But my view of today is they just got physically whipped, and when that happens things like gap control become secondary.

I think they need to get Singletary in earlier.

Where? This one’s just saying you should get your anger under control first.

I guess

He is a young QB figuring it out. I think they need to take the brakes off and let him play, audible, and such. I’ve already said that.

And you claim you’re not being childish..,

We got beat physically. That’s never good.

I think Beane is probably looking at trades, guys on other teams’ practice squads etc. right now. Two games now where teams dominated our D line.

True. But no one can be happy seeing the way they got manhandled today

There are run blitzes.

He threw for 295 and 191 per game average his first two full seasons with the Chargers. He got traded because of injury and because the Chargers didn’t think he was the guy. I only brought him up because you said all the greats had it figured out along the same time line for Allen. That’s just not true. Which is not to say Allen doesn’t need to continue improving.

No. If the playoff season two years ago we had some stinkers but McD kept the team focused and they came back with good games.

You said people root for mediocrity. Wrong. You said Allen stinks and McD can’t coach. Wrong. You said a 5-2 team is not better than one with a worse record last year. Mathematically wrong. They had a bad game today. They sucked today. That does not negate everything else before today. Get over yourself.

There is not a single person on this board rooting for the Bills to be mediocre.

No after his first couple years Brees was still figuring it out. That said, I think they need to give Allen the keys to the car and let him drive. Including more audibles.

Every year some teams get their behinds kicked by teams below them in the standings. Hell, every week pretty much. That said they have things to fix to be sure.

Winnable but have to play better than today

NFL games get obsessively dissected, but sometimes it’s simply that one team plays better. That’s what happened today. Got their butt kicked.
