22 hours ago in this thread you said, and I quote (because I have permission to feel free to do so):“I think Josh is an awesome player and would never say he is overrated even tho his only trait that he has over Burrow is rushing (he can throw it a mile).”
The logic of that quote implies Allen’s arm and passing ability are equal to or below that of Burrow.
Idk how people compare qbs across rosters. Burrow,mahomes, Allen, all great but they have such different supporting casts that how can someone even truly rank them as individuals
Burrow has got the best receivers
mahomes has the best offensive line
joshs team is pretty well rounded outside of Spencer brown who is terrible lol

RT, it's been a problem all year.
This is really the only position they need. Even saffold has turned a corner. Brown is getting absolutely whooped by speed rushers though

The amount of times I’ve already heard “the Bills don’t have good run game outside of Josh Allen” is mind boggling. I’ve never seen so many media members come to such a strong consensus on something that is so blatantly wrong.
1. Cook and Singletary are both over 5 yards per carry during this 8 game win streak.
2. Even if it was true, so what? The Bills DO have Josh Allen and he IS a big boost to an already solid ground attack.
They said we wouldn’t be able to run on cincy because of DJ Reader and we had 30+ rushing yards on our first drive lol.

Started civil enough but quickly got into thrashing our fans, and city. Going as far as to say the Bills used a tragedy to call off the previous game because "they wanted no part of us." Also mentioned us saying Skylar Thompson is a great QB, which I dont recall in the least
http://thebengalsboard.com/Thread-Threads-from-our-Frenemies-part-2?page=2
If they want an honest opinion I think they are an incredibly talented football team. Think their QB is gifted but incredibly cocky, and as far as cities go...
I don’t get this ‘the bills didn’t want to finish the game because they were scared’ narrative at all. Even if we were down 14-3 we had a decent shot at getting the 1 seed and makin our path to the afc championship no one -> Jacksonville
Not only is it in poor taste to say we intentionally tried to benefit from a tragedy but it’s completely wrongwe would absolutely risk falling to the 3 seed for a chance at the 1 seed

NFLPICKWATCH aggregates all the expert picks and 75% are on the bills. ESPN is in the minority

I already took the 4.5 points and Cinci. That's just way too many points in a game like this.
I really don’t think that’s true…bills are at home and the bengals losing 3 olinemen really mitigates the bills’ biggest issue.
It’s also up to 5.5 now so you should’ve waited 😂 I could see it going over 6 when those guys are ruled officially out

I can’t stress enough how different Baltimores defense is from ours and how much better suited to defend Cincinnati they are. It’s not the same. They can rush burrow with 4. They have Marcus Peter’s and Marlon Humphrey to cover Chase and Higgins and Hamilton in thr slot too for coverage. Not to mention Roquan smith in the middle. Remember this when chase is getting open constantly and Higgins is finding soft spots in Fraziers zones.
I do think we will give the bengals D some problems but fundamentally this is a bad matchup.
I can’t stress enough how much better the bills offense is than the ravens offense led by Tyler Huntley. Bills defense will make enough plays with cincys oline banged up…they certainly won’t hold them scoreless like baltimore did in the second half but they don’t need to. it’s a great matchup. If you bet cincy +5 I think you got it wrong but that’s just my opinion.
a team that can run the ball at will with a tough secondary is who would worry me…someone like philly or sf or the jets if they ever find a qb 😂

These are all valid points. I took the bengals -5 based upon this also. I don’t view the bengals banged up o line as a huge advantage for us without Von. Both the stats and my eyes tell me we can’t get after the qb with much consistency anymore so adding that to the fact that burrow has time to hit his trio of great receivers against our overmatched DBs, and it’s a recipe for a long night.
I’m way more confident in the 49ers -4 though. That line is an absolute joke and just free money. Niners are going to roll.
People that are betting money on football should do a little more digging into offensive schemes / offensive lines lol
bengals like to run empty sets/ 11 personnel.
Miami runs a lot of heavier sets.
Treating the cincy injured oline and dolphins injured oline as an apples to apples comparison is a huge mistake. You’re only getting cincy +5 because good one on one pass blocking is so important to what they do and they really don’t have the talent right now.

So, i think i am somewhere in the middle where folks are on this board. I think the Bills can win this game, but we have all seen they try to hard to not win games in the last few weeks. Some points IMHO:
- Even with Cin offensive line hurt, wont matter. Dolphins were worse and the only way we got to him was to blitz.
- Josh is not the same Josh that started the season. Hurt? Head crap? Definitely not the same.
- Dorsey still does not impress me. (Yes i know, points and the rest yea yea) He moves away from things that work and forces stupid forced plays to work. (Not saying he is horrible)
- Our defensive backfield gets slashed pretty easy with the worst QB's.... Burrow is not one of them and they have incredible receivers!
- Have you ever seen a team that sucks so bad on screens?? They are an embarrassment at it.
I know i am being Debby downer, but Bill's play of late does not give me warm and fuzzys. Either way hoping for a win, but wont be surprised if they lose. Take Bengals and the points!
Dolphins offensive line was not worse than Cincy’s will be next week. Connor Williams and Terron Armstead are both great players. Cincy will not even have an average player on the OL if Cappa and Williams don’t go.
I don’t even know who they’d go with…carman, volson, Karras, sharping, adeniji?
thats 4 huge weak links and karras is mediocre at best.
Miami typically runs heavier sets than cincy will as well.
our secondary was great Sunday.

You wonder what new excuses he and Nick Wright will invent if Josh has stellar games the next 3 games.
Nick wright is at least predictable haha I just don’t understand Simms anymore. A game where Miami tried to single cover a lot of the bills receivers and it went pretty terribly and he comes out and says ‘see I told you they weren’t scared’ 🤣

Davis is like Claude Lemieux in the NHL or "Big Shot Bob" Robert Horry in the NBA.
Regular season might not be anything more than an average player, but once the playoffs start, they put on a Superman Cape and raise their game tremendously.
Davis runs as good a deep go route as anybody… heck I hope Chris simms is correct that teams aren’t scared of him 😂 free completions for us

Somewhat accurate heading into the playoffs, but teams may want to be afraid of Gabe Davis.
He absolutely dominated out there on Sunday. If Allen hits him on the deep balls Davis had a step on, we're potentially looking at close to 200 yards receiving.
Chris simms has always been a joke but nobody really cared because he likes josh 😂
Miami didn’t play that scheme because they weren’t scared of the bills receivers, they were betting on winning the race between pass rush and receivers beating their man. It was a pretty mixed bag as well…the bills receivers absolutely dominated but the dolphins forced a few turnovers and dodged a few bullets
defenses have been playing scared of our wrs all year

Chris Simms is getting more and more unhinged lol Davis was terrorizing the dolphins. Bills receivers were beating their man all game long. Just barely missed out on like 200 extra yards and 2+ more tds.
If the dolphins weren’t scared of the bills receivers, they should have been 😂. They were very lucky to not lose that game by 20+someone should probably tell him that the Vikings who have many scary wrs lost to the giants who have 0 scary wrs too haha

Allen constantly gets dinged for his turnovers. It's an inevitable part of the narrative now, even though he has just a few more than the other top QBs. Left out of most account are his rushing yards and TDs. You put them into the equation, and no one is his equal. I really, really don't get why everyone--even posters on this board--think Mahomes is the better QB. Allen makes all the Mahomes throws and rushes 60 yards a game. Should be the end of the discussion.
My theory is that because Mahomes started his career in spectacular fashion, he is the default MVP. Quibbles like his throwing a pick to end KC's season last year, and a pick to end the game against the Bills this year, are ignored. Inconvenient facts.
If josh had mahomes’ offensive line he’d probably break every record. We had a tough year up front, bad weather in a big chunk of games, josh played injured a few games, and he probably played 2 less full games than mahomes when you factor in games where he came out with a big lead and the one less regular season game.
despite all of that he was pretty comparable to mahomes in total yards/tds

I think @Big Turk has a really interesting thread on turnovers. And I think there's something it.
Because the Bills punt so much less than most teams, and have the highest 3rd down conversation rate, and go for it on 4th down... they steal about as many more possessions as they turn the ball over. And then when you add the turnovers the Bills force, the problem is mitigated.
Sure zero turnovers is ideal, but they make up for it in ways that aren't usually accounted for.
Seems like the vast majority of our turnovers this season have been on the opponents side of the field which pretty much equates to a punt. Everyone seems to get angriest at red zone interceptions but strategically that’s way better than turning it over on your own side of the field like we did a couple times against the dolphins
-
They’re going to really have to shore up the oline and let some players go if they’re gonna get Brady. He’s got receivers now and it didn’t go great for him. And they’d be replacing tuas rookie deal

I see so many posts that lead me to believe that the last game against the dolphins has everyone completely confused.
so many drastic takes it’s wild
the defense played exceptionally well last week - ridiculously well
People don’t care because it was Skylar starting but you could’ve put anyone back there and they would’ve struggled. Milano and edmunds were great, all our cbs played well. Gave up 2 TDs in like 15 drives…one of which was a very short field.
15 drives is pretty close to two games worth of drives 😂

I think this game is all on Frazier....a 1990 defense or an attacking defense....I guess this means it's all on McD. Whose in charge?
We’re going to blitz a lot with their oline situation I’d bet.

What’s the over/under on McD calling a head scratching TO?
Are you talking about that late timeout where the defense wasn’t set and literally every dolphins receiver was open? lol. Maybe the tv angle didn’t show that well? That was a good timeout despite Skylar just missing a deep ball

Sure did, but they settle for a field goal. Will never know, but would bet anything that game would have been 14-3 in 5 more plays. Didn't feel good.
Bills are pretty much unstoppable when the offensive line is playing well and we were mauling the bengals dline on that first drive. Was likely headed to 14-10 by the end of the first quarter

Both teams were moving the ball prior to the injury. Burrow was throwing it pretty well. I do worry about our secondary a bit.
Key is the pretty simple -> IMO team with the least mistakes wins. JA needs to keep the google eyes 👀 in check. I see those eyes get big as saucers & darting back & forth i start to worry.
GO Bills!CBs and linebackers were great Sunday. One silver lining in that strange and stressful game lol edmunds and Milano were everywhere

#1 offense ( not sure how this can be when josh ranked 10th out of 12 in QBR)
#2 defense (this makes sense )
special teams must have killed us...lol
Qbr accounts for the plays as they happened…pff analyzes each play and assigns the players a point value for how they performed individually. So something like that 50 yard bomb to shakir or the Knox dropped td goes down as a max positive play for josh even though it was incomplete.

I mean the Bills were planning on making the Dolphins pay with their use of Cover Zero.... but either overthrows or dropped passes caused this to be much closer... even with the TOs. If Shakir doesn't drop the 50 yard pass when it's 17-9 or Allen hits Gabe down the sideline on two plays the game isn't really all that close. Dolphins kept running Cover Zero because the Bills didn't connect on those deep shots as much.
It’s crazy how much that shakir drop changed the game. Cost us 3-7 points and added probably 10 points to dolphins score. Could’ve easily been a 17 point swing. Although we may not have snagged that extra fg just before halftime

The ratings are for the offense as a whole. Not Allen. It includes all the turnovers.
I’m not sure that turnover would’ve counted against Beasley either though…I’d assume the offensive grade is somewhat of an average of all the individual performances.
the original post mentioned Allen’s grade separately too…that’s what I was originally commenting on
We're on to Cincinnati(Bengals coming to OP). Sunday 1/22 at 3pm. Opening Line Bills -5

Heavily dispute the ‘wouldve won’. We frequently give up a few quick scores before really tightening up on defense. they had an extra drive, that game very easily could’ve been 14-10 in a few minutes with us getting the second half kickoff.
also one drive isn’t proof we would’ve been able to do it all game, but we rarely if ever lose when we can run the football like that. Not sure if it was Hendrickson being injured or what but we were mauling them up front
