The difference is that THEIR recievers make plays for them....so the bad passes get forgotten.....and ppl just look to the box score. Wanna know what I liked from last night? Put Cole Beasely to work....used a short gain receiver which he did not do a lot last year....didnt immediately take off and run....and didnt take hits. Its called progression. Of course all QB's throw bad passes. However, the ones who throw the least number of bad passes typically have more success in the league. I say typically because there have been players like Favre, however that was a special case. We have better odds of having a successful championship run if Allen is more accurate than more Favre-like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't Allen only run like once maybe twice? 4 minutes ago, VW82 said: I haven't watched the game yet (taping later tonight on NFLN) but I think we can safely say Josh Allen didn't have a great night. He finished 6/11 for only 66 yards and 0 points. People keep talking about Zay's drop. WRs drop the ball sometimes. Good QBs find them enough that it doesn't matter. We clearly tried to put the ball in Allen's hands and unlike his 2018 draft class counterparts his offense didn't produce. I've highlighted the important part of this statement. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eight yards to the first down marker. And got out of bounds untouched. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, if the ball is placed so the gate of the WR does not have to change, the completion % of that play increases. I have had a perfectly cooked filet, and let me tell you, this is at least 3 degrees above mid-rare. 1 minute ago, VW82 said: His stats aren't great and we didn't score with him in the game.

The team didn't score with him in the game because Zay Jones dropped an easy-money TD and the kicker hit the upright on the ensuing attempt. 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Deranged Rhino Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 Way late to this, but my list: Good Night: * Oliver (dude was everywhere) * Shaq (pushing for more time) * Beane Bad Night: * Yeldon (bye) * Bodine (double bye) * Vlad (still can't believe he's on the roster... but soon) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thank you for this. Allen moved the chains. He was a little amped his first series and then flat out had a very good second series. He was trending in a positive direction before being removed for the night. Hard to see how anyone who watched the game could say he had a poor outing. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He missed two passes on his first series, and was nearly perfect on his second, including an EASY TD dropped by jones. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Bodine is playing Center for this team at any point, we are in trouble. Either Felciano or Long will be the back up center. When they are healthy, Bodine is third string, which he should be.

mrags Posted August 9, 2019 Share Posted August 9, 2019 43 minutes ago, Ittakestime said: You are on an entire different wave length and have zero idea what was even being discussed. No. I’m pretty sore I’ve got a clue. You were giving praise to Bodine play, and saying he’s a good run blocker. You also made an excuse about his high snap over Barkley’s head, saying it’s not easy to go from a 6’5” QB to a 6’2” QB. And that’s why he had struggles when Barkley was under center. But Bodine didn’t play with Allen at all yesterday and you are clueless. Bodine is terrible. About the only guy worse on the line right now is Ducasse and they should both be cut.

But I don’t think it’s gonna take Allen 10 seasons, like it did Elway, before he hits that magical 60% threshold that’s been arbitrarily applied as a barometer of how good a QB is.

If the coach and you go back to review that tape, who take more of the blame on that Rivers throw? And what percentage of the blame is it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm, I have no idea if coaches would use percentage to assign blame, that doesn't sound right to me. I would think a coach would tell the receiver you have to make that catch, as well as tell the QB you need to place the ball more accurately to increase chance of success. IMO, the majority of the blame on that play goes to the WR. However, the overall chance of success of the play increases if the ball is better placed. If QB-X places the ball in stride 8 times out of 10 on that play vs. QB-Y placing it in stride 6 out of 10 times, over the course of a game/season/career, QB-X has the better odds of being more successful in the NFL.

This is brilliant. I bet you're an engineer. And I bet you're smarter than DC Tom. Wicked cool. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
