    It's more about using your eyes and watching how he plays. It seems patently obvious to me that he gets through reads faster but suffers in the athleticism department.
  2. dave mcbride
    I don't know. Every time I think he's lousy, he starts playing well, and vice versa. I think he's basically the epitome of league-average.

    The last 3 times the Bills have played them, they have been 1-point games (13-12, 14-13, and 35-34) with the Bills winning twice and TN once. So basically, a coin flip.

    The last three times the Bills have played the Titans, these have been the scores: 13-12, Bills 14-13, Bills 35-34, Titans
  5. dave mcbride
    Basically, yes. He took a terrible sack that was totally unnecessary because he didn't read what was in front of him. It made the kick a lot more difficult.
  6. dave mcbride
    We might be talking about different plays. The one I'm thinking of was way behind him. It was at the 15 or so yard line of NE.
  7. dave mcbride
    How many times now has he gotten to the 30/25 yard line and then taken either a horrible sack or grounded it? I think it's five times now in four games. He did it twice yesterday, and it arguably cost the Bills 6 points.
  8. dave mcbride
    Very good point, and nice differentiation. I agree.
  9. dave mcbride
    The Bills offense now is 9th in yards overall but 27th in points per drive and 29th in turnovers given up (with 32nd being the worst). That tells you something.

    I like Allen. But he simply has to be a lot more careful with the ball. That pick was a very bad throw into triple coverage, and it was an easy pick regardless of the weird rule that presumably should have nullified it. That non-fumble that should have been one is because he doesn't take care of it as much as he should on sack plays.

    Daboll's offense presents qbs with a lot of options (the scheme is good and aggressive), and I do think that Barkley gets through progressions a lot faster than Allen at this point.

    Oh, I don't know. I'm including college games here too, going back four decades. I can't offer a count. I have just seen it enough to not be surprised when it happens. I'm not saying it's common, btw.
  13. dave mcbride
    Fumble recoveries rates are entirely a function of luck, but you do realize that he should have been called for a fumble vs the Giants that was picked up and returned for a TD in the first half, correct?
  14. dave mcbride
    I'm talking about plays where the QB gets a free play because the D is offside, goes deep, and a penalty gets called on the offense (holding, hands to the face, whatever). It's hardly unheard of.
  15. dave mcbride
    I'm an Allen backer, but through 4 games he has a woeful qb rating of 69.6, leads the NFL in INTs, has fumbled 5 times, and is averaging 6.5 ypa despite the huge arm. That's a problem.
  16. dave mcbride
    yeah, agreed about that one, but I still feel like the Bills deserved that INT - he threw the ball into freaking triple coverage. Terrible play.
  17. dave mcbride
    I've seen that happy a number of times over the years.
  18. dave mcbride
    The PI flag that was picked up was picked up for the right reason. It was an awful throw (five yards behind the receiver) and unarguably uncatchable.
  19. dave mcbride
    yes, that was egregious, but he made his own bed by challenging two plays that he shouldn't have challenged. He was wrong on both of those. The hold on Gilmore wasn't a hold - it was a potential PI because it occurred after the ball was thrown. The reason it was picked up was because the throw was horrible - five yards behind the receiver - and therefore uncatchable.
  20. dave mcbride
    Yes. Mind you, I don't think he's good, but my god, Allen seems to become a blind dart thrower when he targets him.
  21. dave mcbride
    I absolutely agree, and see my qualifying post above. But when you're always low in the catch pct stats while others aren't, sometimes it's you.
  22. dave mcbride
    He came back against the CJ Mosely-less Jets and the Bengals. He wasn't facing the Jets and the Bengals yesterday, but the best defense in the league. Past production against doormats is not a predictor of future late-game success against actual good teams. He was horrible yesterday.
  23. dave mcbride
    The best comparions are with the guys who are actually getting a decent number of targets: Brown, Beasley, and Knox. All of those are over 60 percent. To be fair to Jones, he has been on the receiving end of a inordinately large number of way-off-target throws by Allen.
  24. dave mcbride
    Look at the column entitled "catch percentage" in the rushing and receiving category and look at line 11: https://www.pro-football-reference.com/teams/buf/2019.htm
