Yea, looking at the stats as well, Wilson has never had a year as good as Allen had last year in terms of total touchdowns, total yards or completion percentage. If he's placed above Allen it's not because of recent performance but holding on to old narratives.

Allen went down swinging same as mahomes in the superbowl. Cant win them all. Mayfield panicked and didnt trust his right arm to get it done. Take off the blinders bud hes not that good.

oh man that dumpoff on 3rd and 12 or whatever the last time they had the ball in the KC game lol. Baller.

I think you are missing a huge point here which is that when a team is facing the Ravens that week, they are gearing up to stop the run. Lamar is definitely a huge part of that run game. I'm convinced he gets easier/simpler passing looks on a play to play basis as a result of their running game. When they are in a game where he has to pass and the defense knows it, he gets in trouble. He's not good enough at it. For comparison, Allen went up against defenses all year who knew they had to stop the passing game and he was still able to have a ridiculous season. That's good qb play.

I disagree with this. They are out of the game if down a couple of scores. They are built to keep to keep the game close but you saw in the playoffs last year and the games against the chiefs he can't pass effectively if needed to get the team back in the game.

This is the last season you are going to be able to say this barring injury.

Passing is more valuable om a down to down basis than running. If a team is prioritizing the run they either don't understand today's game or know that the QB is incapable.

I can agree with the idea that Mayfield could improve with more time in the system but a more important point is to look at how the Stefanski introduced a run first system knowing that Mayfield would be his QB. They don't think it's a good recipe for him to be controlling the game with his arm which is telling in a league that is more and more reliant on throwing. Good luck paying him as a top quarterback when your system is designed to deemphasize the QB.

It's hard to say the Bills defense would have done all that much better considering the Chiefs had 3 drives with Henne playing. The first drive was when Mahomes got hurt and they were at midfield and they ended up kicking a FG. The second one was an interception and the 3rd was running down the clock. I would like to think the Bills don't let Henne get loose on the 3rd and 13 but look what happened during the Texans playoffs loss last year. What I do think is that if you have Mahomes out of the game with 9:00 left in the 3rd quarter and the Bills down 22-10, I like our chances of Allen bringing us back. Mayfield is just not very good. Even the touchdown that they got to get to 22-17 took over 8 minutes to go 75 yards where Baker went 6/10 for a 37 yards or 3.7 ypa. They ran the ball 8 times for 38 yards for a rushing average of 4.75 per rush. They were better running than passing on that drive. Baker doesn't have it and I think the Browns are going to regret giving him a bunch of money if/when that happens.

What about before he got hurt? KC went down and scored touchdowns on their first 2 drives and then Mahomes hurt his toe on the third drive and was noticeably limping. They scored a FG on that drive anyway and then got another field goal before the half. The Browns weren't stopping the chiefs, Mahomes got hurt and was hampered by it and later was removed from the game for the head thing. This Bills defense was bad against the chiefs but I don't think you point to the Browns game against the chiefs as a reason why Cleveland is in a better position to take the chiefs down. Everybody remembers the play that Henne made at the end but what about Mayfield throwing a 2 yard dumpoff on 3rd and 11 on the previous drive. Mayfield was either afraid of throwing deeper or is stuck in "doing the right thing" mode where he read the play out and took the dump off because it was "open" even though it gave no chance for the first down. That is poor quarterbacking that Allen appears to have overcome and is a big part of why I think the Allen to Mayfield dropoff is so big.

This completely discounts the fact that Mahomes busted up his toe against the Browns and then was later removed from the game. Mahomes in the first half against the Browns was 19-33 for 233 with a touchdown throwing and running. If he doesn't get hurt or get taken out of the game I'm confident the Chiefs score more points. Can you tell me the efficacy rate of the Chargers defense against the Chiefs in week 17? Maybe Mcdermott and Frazier can steal their plan.

Brady had 4600 yards and 40 TDs. Game manager lol come on now

You used the term 3 times in a paragraph that's all. Not trying to argue with you we all love the Bills.

Looking at it objectively the Bills have a better team and a really good look at moving on.

It has nothing to do with me wanting to hear people cheerleading the Bills, it's just poor overall analysis. Glad you like weak sauce tho lol it's yours man enjoy

I know this isn't all your opinion but the factors presented here weak sauce.

I was agreeing with you. The bottom line is everything the Ravens have done since drafting LJ is to shift focus away from passing and concentrate on running which is inherently lower value.

Yea these are my thoughts exactly. Why is everyone hyping up LJ and the Ravens when the Bills have the better offense with Allen. Then we hear that the Bills have no running game and the Ravens will just gear up to stop the pass. The Bills haven't run all year. The offense has always gone through Allen's arm. The defense on the other side has known this every game and he still lit teams up on a regular basis. Over the Raven's 6 game win streak, LJ is averaging less than 21 passing attempts per game. Over LJ's first 10 starts, he averaged 27.6 passing attempst per game with only one game as low as 21 pass attempts and they were 6-4 The Raven's are telling everyone they don't think they can win with LJ throwing a lot.

Not only that but he appears to be pretty bad at passing judging by ypg. There is no way hes some amazing passer and they are like no no lets have him run. Its objectively less valuable to run the ball. His total yards in his MVP season were less than just Allen's passing yards this year and Allen ran for 400+ on top of his passing.

yea this doesn't get talked about nearly enough. Allen produced 1100 more total yards this year than LJ and had 13 more total TDs Guess people are bored of good passing and find the running entertaining. LJ is electric running but Allen's production this year is every bit as good if not better than LJ's last year. Man does that MVP moniker get a lot of traffic tho.

Dobbins has 18 catches this year and 5 in the last 8 including the game last week. To be fair ingram only had 6 last year but that is low production either way

yea Dobbins is averaging 6.0 ypc this year but on 2/3 of the carries that Ingram had with 5.0 ypc. Not sure that proves that the offense is somehow better off with Dobbins.

I would even say he is below average if the running is gone. He is averaging 184 ypg passing this year.

Ravens 2019 rushing ypg: 206.0 Ravens 2020 rushing ypg: 191.9 Ravens 2019 passing ypg: 201.6 Ravens 2020 passing ypg: 171.2 They are not more dynamic than last year at all.

I feel like this comes down to how you define QB. He plays the position, but does not come anywhere near close to passing at an elite level. A lot of the time he is the fastest player on the field and can pick up a lot of yards running and he gets easier looks to pass against because of this IMO. I believe this is why he has respectable TD numbers, his running ability simplifies the back end reads. His passing numbers are baaaad though <200 per game average and he produced more than 1,100 total yards less than Allen did this year and 12 less TDs even with his rushing factored in.
