Einstein

This is a very complex issue that dates back literally 1,300 years ago. Best not to take a side based on the account of a 10 minute YouTube video.

I saw this today and couldn’t help but laugh. There is a bit of truth to it. Still, no other QB id rather have. Ride or die with Josh!

Allen is in his 6th season. In Cams 6th season he was already toast. He had 19 TD’s and 14 INT’s that season. Allen is so superior to Cam that i’ve never understood the comparison. .

I think this may impact many of ours (including myself) view on Allen always targeting Diggs. When plays break down, Allen is able to keep them alive and he often hits Diggs. I doubt this is counted as a "first read", even though Diggs may have been the first read originally.

Burrow is 12th in 1st read %. And 12th in checkdown % too.

Exactly!

It means the QB throws to his read that % of dropbacks.

Yes. He has been very good against the run as well.

I'm assuming the first WR the QB focuses on after the snap. That's a fairly clear indicator. However, this is one of several questions I have asked them for clarification on.

No this is the NFL Data Suite by Scott Barrett (creator of xFP metric that ESPN uses) and Brett Whitefield (former PFF). It's in Beta right now. I think what it really does is show that the entire NFL designs plays to go to the first target. We are not alone.

1) Allen goes to his first read only 55% of the time. That is 3rd lowest in the NFL. Mahomes throws to his first read 60% of the time. Tua? 74% of the time! 2) Diggs is 11th in the NFL in first read targets. 3) Allen is #9 in the NFL in checkdown %. He is definitely taking what the defense is giving him. 4) Knox has a very low catch rate of only 58%. Kincaid is over 90%. 5) Over the last three seasons, Josh Allen has ran an average of 43 times through Week 6. He has ran 22 times this season. 6) Cook has a significantly higher YPC on man/gap runs than zone. 7) Epenesa was the highest rated defensive player on Sunday. Poyer was rated highly as well. 8 ) I'm consistently shocked at the number of posters who criticize Allen. This may be the best season of his career thus far. 9) Allen is #1 in the NFL in sacks avoided. 10) The defense is 4th in the NFL in percentage of dropbacks that we pressure the opposing teams QB.

This is where I am at. Two number ones is the new black.

I simply couldn't imagine how boring any forum would be if everyone was positive. Poster A - The Bills are great! Poster B - They sure are buddy! Poster C - I concur with your thoughts pals! Poster A - Isn't Dorsey swell? Poster C- He sure does seem like a cool guy! Poster B - I just got a great idea. Let's start a fundraiser to send him some chicken wings for lunch tomorrow! Poster A - Great idea buddy! Poster C - Great idea pal! Woof.

I thought Sunday was Po's best game this year.

I don't think it's possible for me to love Josh Allen any more than I do. He is everything I was waiting for in a QB since Kelly retired.

I agree with this.

We were absolutely the best team in the NFL during the 2021 playoffs. We were clicking on all cylinders and I will forever believe that 13 seconds stole a Lombardi trophy from this city.

Another positive I could point out is if you watch the All-22, Elam was extremely active with communication while in zone. Intentional communication. He was constantly pointing/indicating to his teammates mid play about (what I assume to be) ownership of coverage areas.

That’s an 80%+ allowed catch rate on targeted passes for both DB’s.

You’re looking at the symptom instead of the disease. Diggs is the only receiver on this team that gets consistent separation. This has resulted in Allen targeting Diggs repeatedly in man coverage. In zone coverage, he starts to get the others more involved. One difference from last season (at least the first half of the season) is Allen targeted Gabe deep, in man coverage, more often.

If it was just the notes in the lawsuit, I’d likely agree with you. However, it’s the lawsuit, plus several reports of McD and Daboll not seeing eye to eye, plus McD’s comments in the past, and now this video where they seem reticent to shake hands. Fans can shove their head into the sand if they desire, but I don’t see what good it does. This whole thing reminds me of something McD said about a month before Daboll left for the Giants: "Well I didn't think, honestly, we took advantage of opportunities tonight. I really didn't. The ball is at the 40-yard line. We're 1-for-4 in the red zone… If you were in the team meetings in training camp, you would know what style of offense I want" For a coach that is notorious for not calling our players, that statement was pretty alarming at the time.

I know I had a bit too much to drink last night, but did I stumble into a courtroom accidentally? Where am I? PS, there are exceptions to hearsay which do allow it in court. One example is a recorded recollection that accurately reflects the witness’s knowledge.

Sorry but this is ridiculous. There is more than enough circumstantial evidence, including information contained in a lawsuit, to show that Daboll and McD are not friendly.

In the Flores lawsuit it’s mentioned that Daboll wanted out of Buffalo, even if it was for just a lateral move. A lot of fans dismisses it, but I never had any reason to doubt it.

Agreed. He is in no way an apples-to-apples replacement for Harris. He is more of a Murray replacement, who he is still healthy.
