How many times do people have to be told the completion percentage has nothing to do with accuracy?
Consistent accuracy is a component of completion percentage. Of course so are many other things like play calling and dropped balls. However, to say Allen is an accurate passer is not being truthful. It's more like wishful thinking...

why don't you ask the other team if they would. I mean this is an ignorant post right here. ignorant.
I'm just wondering what McDermott is building vs. other coaches/teams based on this celebration.

Love the endless excuses for Allen. Love the kid's mentality, love his poise, seems to be better at game management and reading the defense and therefore operating in the offense. But he is and always will be maddeningly inaccurate and I keep reading these homer excuses like he's "knocking the rust off" or "it's preseason" or any of the myriad of excuses that avoid seeing him for what he is.... inaccurate. Nothing has changed on this regard. I watched Kyler Murray's first drive last night, didn't look like he was "knocking any rust off." In fact, the kid looks pretty awesome and wickedly accurate. The kid from the Giants was 5/5 or Mayfield was 5/6. They knocking the rust off too. Rosen was 13/20 and is roundly hated here. That's 65%. He knocking it off too? Or are there excuses why he did that well on that garbage team?
I think we should hope that with some better receivers and less drops that he can approach 58% or a little over. The problem is, the homerism here just can't let anyone criticize the kids accuracy. Face it, this team has possibly the most inaccurate starting QB in the league. If they can find a way to get him into the right throws all the time, limit the route tree to passes he can be accurate with and get a decent run game, they an win with him and what looks like a really good defense. But I refuse to give this kid excuses for the inaccuracy.
You said it much better than I could, congrats! The inaccuracy is a MAJOR concern and something I thought he was supposed to be working on. I see no improvement, yet.

I know you want Allen to be good, I'm not trying to say you're anti-Allen. I think you're being a little too meticulous on this because you have concerns of Allen's accuracy....so you're looking at it too much under a microscope.
That safety is coming in hard. Allen is supposed to split the two DB's in which he did. He leads the ball too much into the middle or even a pass in "100% absolute perfect stride"....Zay might be in concussion protocol.
IMO, the pass was perfect for the situation. Throw it over the guy covering him underneath and not into the safety coming in like a missile.
I mean, he finished 54%. I know it's the first preseason game, so surely hope that improves.

This was my favorite part of Wade’s TD run.
I love seeing all his teammates so genuinely happy for him.
And I love what McDermott is building here.
If he was on another team, would his teammates not celebrate with him?

Shaq Lawson looked good last night. He's still playing for a big deal correct? I think he can have a big year this year for us.
Have to be skeptical of guys who only show up during a contract year.

I remember many, if not most people saying how Ronald Darby was getting burned left and right in his first preseason. How he was going to be a bust.
I saw differently and said that he was actually playing quite well. Was always in position and was always stuck to his guy.
He went on to have a great rookie year.
I feel the same way about Singletary after one game.
I'd be fine with him as the #1 back tbh.

It seems as though you have an agenda. Zay didn't need to slow down or change his direction to catch this ball.
The ball literally, and I mean literally was right between his eyes. If that ball goes through his hands and he's not wearing a helmet, he's going to have a lump right above the bridge of his nose. It's a terrible drop.
No agenda, just was not a perfect pass like some here want to claim.
You know, hoping Allen is great won't make him great
I want him to be great, but in order for that to happen I need to see more consistent accuracy.
In their first starts, Daniel Jones & Kyler Murray showed better accuracy. This is disconcerting for Allen IMO.

Perfect throw, Zay had his eyes on the safety and not the ball.
He did not lead Zay into the endzone, Zay had to rotate his torso 90 deg. That is NOT a "perfect" pass like some here want to claim. It should have been caught, but c'mon with the perfect pass stuff.

That pass hit him in the hands, in stride. A mediocre NFL WR catches it 9/10 times.
But it was not in stride...

They are not a wash. You can’t be critical of one throw and then ignore him hitting Jones right in the hands in between two defenders. The only way that logic works is if you’re trying to pick out only negatives. The TE throw has been discussed by others and I’ll have to look back to see what you’re talking about with Brown.
Hit both hands yes, but the pass was behind. Don't know if you saw the Cards game after the Bills game at all, but watching Murray throw with anticipation, leading receivers etc, that's accuracy.... A poorly thrown ball can hit a receiver on both hands, but if the receiver has to react/contort to catch, it reduces the odds of completion. Having said that, Jones being the receiver is the biggest problem on that play

That 2 yard line pass to Zay was behind him. If it's out in front it's a touchdown.
I think that was the play where Tasker wanted to blame the sun and not Jones. It was definitely not a perfect pass, but it did hit both hands.

You mean like the one he threw perfectly to Zay near the goalline that he dropped?
I think everyone thought Foster was going to replace Jones, but it looks like Foster has regressed.

The one inaccurate pass he threw was the low ball to Jones, and he said he wanted to bring it in lo w so the defender couldn't come over the top to knock it down.
Basing your disappointment on an N of 1 doesn't cut it.
He underthrew brown, and overthrew the TE. The Zay pass into the dirt and Zay drop are a wash.

I was disappointed in Allen's accuracy. I see no difference from last year. I even felt worse after I saw Kyler Murray throw the ball, he's damn accurate.
Allen's accuracy HAS to improve if this whole thing is going to work out.

Did not look like a TD, butt was on the ground before ball crossed plane.

Looks like we already know which running back will be cut.

With a TD drop by Zay making it feel even more familiar.
Zay catches that Allen ends 7-11 with a TD and a 63% comp.
So yeah, very familiar that WR drops kill Allen’s comp % again lol
He threw 11 passes, 3 were way off, one was dropped and one throw away...

If you watched his two series and came away unimpressed, that's a you problem, bud.
To me, so far Allen looks the same.

Welp, Allen finishes at 54% tonight, sounds a bit too familiar...

There are more male geniuses and idiots.
I tried to make that exact point but was labeled a misogynist. Surprised I was not labeled racist and a white nationalist as well. Those all seem to go hand in hand these days when relaying facts some people do not like...
Eric Wood is the new Bills color analyst - will replace Kelso

I think Wood will do a great job. Now all they need to do is find a replacement for Murph.
