6 takeaways from the Bills' decision to trade Zay Jones
Maine-iac replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I still wouldn't be surprised to see Zay turn out to be a good receiver. We are a defense driven team. We play in a lot of low scoring closely contested games. A wide receiver who can't make make a big catch unless the ball is thrown at him 10 times a game is going to have some rough weeks here. The Raiders secondary is trash and Carr is most likely going to be throwing all day in come from behind games. I wouldn't be surprised at all to see Zay get on track if he gets the ball thrown at him 5 or 6 times a game for the rest of the season. He always had all the physical tools but for some reason he just couldn't put it together and most importantly he flat out dropped the ball too much. -
We need Josh Allen to be Tyrod Taylor for 3 quarters
Maine-iac replied to Strethor's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I would say good point except Josh's QBR for the season is under 40 and you clearly don't understand how QBR works if you are trying to say he got a higher score during a game with a lead. QBR is win probability weighted by each play. In other words you are making stuff up. QBR explained -

I never have and never will understand the hate for Taylor. The guy played well for us here. A nobody free agent took a team with a horrible OC and no WR's and a part time TE to the playoffs for the first time in 20 years. Run out of town in the off season. Has nothing to do with Allen. I think Allen is great and will continue to be great. He throws that second pick 5 yards farther it's a TD and we possibly win the Pats game. I am not looking for or in any way advocating I wish we still had Taylor but I just don't get the hate. -
THE ROCKPILE REVIEW - An Emotional Loss
Maine-iac replied to Shaw66's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I've wavered back and forth on my feelings with Josh and the amount of turnovers. In some respects I feel like he is going to cost us in important games and the Pats game was a fairly clear sign. That said the guy is just dangerous to the opposing teams. Like an 8 year old waiving a gun in a crowded room dangerous. Everyone is on high alert. You feel like a big play could happen any time. On a bad day the Pats game is what you get but even with that, as bad as it was, you have to feel like if he gets his head wrapped around everything and settles down it will be a dangerous that only the opposing team and fans are afraid of instead of everyone in the stadium. That one pass makes it to Zay (the one that was intercepted) and there's a good chance it's a TD and we win. Winning is the great eraser. As bad as he played, for the most part, he throws that one TD and he's still a savior.
