Predict Josh Allen's stats v the Vikings

[HappyDays]

Do we know if McCloud is back yet? I think he could be sneaky good with Allen if he can play. He genuinely might be our #1 receiver right now.

so you have him at almost identical numbers from last game? i'm probably there with you on the passing yards, but i'm going to put him at 2 TDs 3 INTs. He's playing a lot of hero ball and it's boom or bust. 

 

It's funny you posted about the hero ball and INTs.  During this "throw away" year I don't mind JA throwing INTs.

He needs to know what he can get away with and what he can't do.  This is part of learning the NFL game.

I'd rather have him go down swinging this year than play TT ball.

Really depends on how far we fall behind but...

 

Negative Scenario: 16/32 for 185 yards, 0 TD's & 2 INT's

Positive Scenario: 18/27 for 225 yards 1 TD & 1 INT

 

And 4-6 sacks either way.

I'm guessing you're going the "wish strongly enough that I can will it into existence" route? Hope you're right man!

Got to think positive.   Done it for a lot of years. ?

I’d be surprised (happily) if he throws for 50% and over 200 yds.  I think this will be a brutal game for him.

But if you ALWAYS think that positive, karma won't know which times are the most important ones to manifest your positivity into existence! 

For now, I'll believe in your belief of Allen to do well, and maybe my hope will piggyback off your hope & notify karma that NOW is the time LOL

[Rocky Landing]

There's a lot of optimism on this thread, and that's great. But, the question I would first ask is: How many times will Allen get sacked?

 

To my mind, the other stats are secondary. So far, Allen has not been afforded adequate protection. Were he to get that, I think we would see him start to develop a lot faster than we are likely to see otherwise. JMO.

[billsredneck1]

the vikes generally can rush 4 and they tend to blitz mainly on 2nd and long. we have to come out with some swing passes, trick plays and some quick slants.

we have to go into 2nd down with 5 or less yds. then they can pick their poison...crowd up and get beat deep or shady/rpo gets the 1st.

 

if we can get to 3rd and short, options will open up....especially if we are in fg position, we can take some deep shots and catch them snoozin.  26-24 bills.  minny will get more crap for losing to us than we have for the first 2 games....then gb don't look so bad....

 

once we get to the titans....even at 1 and 3, it's all downhill from there.  say we start 1 and 3....count in maybe 2 to the pats, we will go on a 2nd half roll at home. 10-6 will be very doable.

 

the show ain't over til mcfat lady sings....

This is a hot take but I like it.

[VW82]

As long as he's better than 15/31 for 169 and 2 picks and doesn't look like Sammy Darnold I'm satisfied.

Yes the 49 att for 238 yards would be a lot of fun to watch, I would want to record that and watch it over and over 

[FearLess Price]

i think they protect Allen this week a little and have him play the short and intermediate game so he doesnt take as many hits vs a vicous vike Def.

I have a good feeling about him. The scouting report says he's "quicker than fast" but that automatically makes him the 2nd fastest receiver on the team. He appears to have good hands too. I'm intrigued.

These are almost exactly his numbers from the Chargers game. I'd say if he can reproduce those numbers again that would be pretty good. What I think we would all like to see is more accuracy on the short throws to the flat. Not place balls that force receivers to do a 180 degree adjustment to catch the ball.

The most unrealistic thing here is the 49 attempts. Can't see it being over 40. Especially if the yardage isn't higher. We won't have the opportunity for that many plays unless we pretty much don't run at all.

That's the sad commentary

Vikings going be mad on D, Rogers on one leg ripped them apart. IMO the absolute worse time for Allen have to face such a D.

 

10/35 98 yards 0 TD 3 INT.. he is pulled after the 3rd quarter not for his play but for safety as he is sacked 8 times. (Also this place explodes saying how much he sucks and they should have taken (insert QB here). Truth is any young team like the Bills facing this D this week gets destroyed.

Well one thing is for sure, every week is fairly unpredictable.

and judging my guess off the first two games from each team it’s possible we’re behind bigtime and fast, which would equate to abandoning the run and passing non stop. 

I can’t see any possible way our offensive line can overpower their defensive line and impose their will in the run game. I fully expect a huge blowout (though I hope to see a close game) 

[blacklabel]

Depends on if they can play defense the way they did in the second half against LAC and if the run game gets going. Having Shady dinged up with the ribs isn't ideal. If they can play D and run the ball alright then maybe he goes 17 for 28, 218 yards, 1 TD, 1 INT.

 

If they fall behind early and the run game is caca, then probably like 23 for 48, 311 yards, 1 TD, 2 picks, handful of sacks.

 

Either way, after watching Tyrod last night, I'm happy to be rooting for a QB that doesn't flinch on pushing the ball down the field. I know it'll result in some picks here and there but that's how he learns and he's also looking to give his receivers a chance to make a play.

We need the D to keep the game close this week. You can’t rely on a rookie QB to win a game on the road. They definitely have to improve the red zone D.

 

Hopefully we can run the ball and play some D.
