    He is just an old grumpy man afraid the younger guys are going to take his job b.c he isn't a good DC anymore.

     

    The old "Back in my day" well back in yoru day people didn't realize there was easier ways to do things. No one needs to aline the fields to be a good coordinator... what old man talk.

    Look at all those grumpy old thumbs down people.

    You must be popular.

    Ones viewpoint shifts when they view this as a human rights issue.   I am forever grateful to Rodgers, Kyrie, Novak etc., for standing up and taking fire from every powerful institution in this world.  
     

    My little bro is a PT.  Wife, two young kids.  Has already had covid twice.  Forced vaxxed under the CMS mandate.  A week later in the hospital with tachycardia.  Hasn’t been the same since.  I will never forgive those that did this to him. 

    Sorry to hear that. I hope he makes a full recovery. More important than football….

    Beasley is playing no matter what. He doesn't have any issue at all.

    Some fans can’t live without the drama. I fit one respect Beasley

    While you're all harrumphing, Rodgers in his own abrasive way is becoming something of a folk hero, a voice for the voiceless who feel they are being pushed around by the Man against their will.

    Just so you know.

    Somebody has to. Most people don’t have the courage or platform

    You have to understand how the Bills defense works.  It's a total team defense.  It doesn't feature individuals; it features complex, precise teamwork.  So, you get a player like Tre White, who is regularly called one of the top five, while if he played for a team that truly put him on an island he might be called the best.   The Bills don't put him on an island all day, because there defense is played within a team concept.  White stands out less in this defense.  

     

    Buddha Baker makes plays that shows up on TV a lot.  Hyde does the things that don't look flashy but that allow his teammates to do their jobs better.  Pro Bowl voters don't care about that kind of . 

     

    It's also why so many fans here are unhappy with Edmunds.  He doesn't stand out like they want him to.  Same thing - he's playing in a team concept and, I think, doing the job he's supposed to be doing.  

     

    So, what happens is that players on the Bills are underappreciated.  Poyer, White, Hyde all are underappreciated by the rest of the country, but not Bills fans.  Edmunds is underappreciated by the country AND Bills fans.  

     

    Another one of those guys is Hughes.  Hughes is really good, maybe even outstanding, at doing his job.   His job on the defense does not require him to be a big, flashy pass rusher.  He's gotten his considerable athletic talent under control and plays completely within the system now.  He's a leader.  He's underappreciated.  

    Edmonds doesn’t make plays that change the game or even a drive killer. He’s very meh. Poyer and Hyde do. That’s the difference. Edmonds is a below avg LB

    Wait a minute…

     

    Josh Allen needs to elevate his team to another level and at a minimum take them to another AFCCG in order to prove himself. 
     

    Meanwhile Justin Herbert has never won his division, Joe Burrow just did for the first time and neither have a playoff game under their belt yet. How in God’s name are they more of a proven quantity than him? Burrow (.462) and Herbert (.484) are both sub .500 in their first two seasons. Josh was winning games at a .555 clip his first two years. 

    Inconsistent 4 years into his career? The man has statistically been a top 3 QB the past two seasons and has progressed year to year. His numbers are down SLIGHTLY from last year, but nothing that’s overwhelmingly concerning considering he’s still 80% of a top 3 scoring offense in football. His “inconsistency” today is extremely different than his inconsistency as a rookie. Don’t try and lump the two in together, it’s disingenuous. His down games today still result in multi-score wins and his best games have him shredding the NFL’s top defenses.

     

    Do you ever read back through what you’ve said and realize nothing adds up? 

    This beast guy is a very good troll.

    I am certainly no engineer, but wouldn't there be a way to partially cover the stadium to keep rain and snow off the spectators while designing the partial roof to prevent high winds from being common?  Could the partial covering and other stadium design features act as a sort of wind block?  The current stadium seems to do the exact opposite and enhance swirling high winds.

    Think Texas Stadium

    Josh Allen home/road splits

    in The Stadium Wall

    Posted

    Way too much analysis going on here. Best bet is to beat the Jests. Lock up the East. And beat the teams in front of you. All of this road vs home stuff is nonsense. At the end of the day they need to beat the teams they play where they play them. If JA is crap at home, they need to fix it or move on. You play half the season at home and potential play offs. 
    I don’t believe there’s an issue outside of the crap weather (yes dome it) and game experience.

    Interesting that three of those worst games were at Hymark stadium which is notoriously tough to throw in, even when the weather seems OK.  In addition to the winds, there used to be a huge crown on the field as well but I think they softened it.

    I think people who say Allen could have taken more check downs like last week tend to see that Allen could be even better than he is. And we may need that to win it all. No one disputes he carries the team for the most part and is the only 1st rd pick on offence, but if we're in the afc championship game and he doesnt take what is given like last week we might be giving the opponent more possesions

    Yes. There’s the deep throw he made to Diggs in the end zone. Low percentage throw when 88 was all alone to his right and would’ve picked up at least a 1st down but probably more. He’s a gun slinger and will always lean that way for better or worse. As the playoffs go deeper (I hope) he’d better look for those easy outs.

    I guess people could say that yesterday was a rough one for Allen - but he was still magnificent, and still basically carried the team on his shoulders for big parts of the game - albeit w/ more help this time.  I personally didn't think that any of the picks were bad throws. A couple of tips, and then Beasley was interfered w/ on the other.

     

    The last line is a good comparison - he really doesn't belong in the "running QB" category, since he is now such a good thrower.  If all he did was pass, he'd still be one of the league's top QB's.  

     

    I kind of think the running is a conundrum.  He's so good at it, but every time he has a game like yesterday (or the Bucs, or last week), I always think "this isn't sustainable."  I think it's probably necessary this year, but I'd love to see the Bills evolve to a point where the games aren't so physical for him.

     

    I love watching him run. He always gets up a smiles he loves the play. But you’re right. How long before he gets hurt? Does the staff not agree? Hopefully this run game continues to improve and he can run less.

    But he still had a really bad day passing.  And because passer rating doesn't include rushing production, it indicates that Allen had a really really bad passing day.  And he did have a Nate Peterman day passing.

     

    11/26 for 120 and 3 INT's is a really bad day dude.

    Not to disagree BUT there were multiple drops, Diggs for a TD, Singletary in the flat, Knox with the no looker, Beasley as well. These all hit the hands of the players. So as JA did struggle so did the receivers.

    So, Josh Allen had a career-worst single-game passer rating.  17.   It's, like, phenomenally bad.  

     

    I decided to take a look at the career-worst single-game passer ratings for the super-star quarterbacks.  They're interesting.  

     

    The single most interesting thing about the best QBs and their worst days is that, although Allen's day was the second-worst passer rating in the group, Allen is the only guy whose team won the game.  Peyton, Brady, Rodgers, Brees, all lost their worst games.  Why is that?   Because Allen's running brought another dimension to the game that the super-stars didn't have.  

     

    Here are the worst games for the super-stars:

     

    Peyton:   With the Colts, Peyton threw three interceptions against the Dolphins in his rookie season, lost 41-6 and had a passer rating of 35.   With the Broncos, Peyton lost to the Chiefs 29-13, threw four interceptions and had a rating of 0, the lowest of any super-star. 

     

    Brees:  With the Chargers, Brees had a passer rating of 27 against the Bears, threw one interception and lost 20-7.   With the Saints, his low was 37.6, losing to Atlanta 23-13.  

     

    Brady's low with the Pats came in the 31-0 loss to the Bills.  He threw 4 ints and earned a rating of 22.5.  With Tampa, he lost to the Saints 38.3 and had a passer rating of 40.4, with 3 INTs.  

     

    Rodgers made the Bills the only team to hang an all-time low passer rating on two different superstars, when he racked up a 34.3 rating by throwing three INTs in 21-13 loss.  

     

    These are just silly little data points, of course, but I think it's more than pure accident.  Brees, Brady, and Rodgers were, like Allen, playing with good teams, but their teams weren't good enough to bail them out of their worst days.   Allen got the win when the super-stars didn't, not because his team bailed him out, but because ALLEN bailed himself out by being an integral part of the running attack that took over the game in the second half.  

     

    Allen isn't throwing like the super-stars, but it isn't absurd to say that is throwing is excellent.  He isn't running like Vick or Lamar Jackson, but he's already established himself as a great running quarterback.   Allen's a much better runner than any of the best throwers, and he's a much better thrower than the best runners - Vick, Newton, and Jackson.   

     

     

    Excellent post that puts this into perspective. 

    Great win for the Bills

    This is exactly right. Every week he is getting exposed. They will waste another year or two doing what the Bills did for 20, “if we just get better weapons or he gets a little more comfortable in the system, we can win with this guy”. No they can’t. He is physically very limited. 

    Hopefully they sign him to big long term contract. Tomorrow. :)
