It's actually a sign of limited emotional intelligence to not be able to admit being wrong and learn from it. Although most of these folks would never admit to being wrong at any point. I personally wanted Rosen because I believed finishing 6th in the WAC in completion % was a bad indicator. I was told you couldn't fix accuracy. What I didn't take into account was how raw, talented, and in possession of outstanding characteristics Allen is. I have admitted to being wrong and I am extremely pleased we drafted the Josh with the most upside. People invested in the media and with stats are focused on what worked in the past, what they are failing to realize is this is a new era and to stubbornly fail to adjust their thinking. The world is never as simple as a model. The people who realize this and take everything into account will come out ahead per usual. It's about the future and not the past repeating itself so you can claim the high ground. Edited October 7, 2019 by D. L.

You believe it to be true because you don't recognize the names of the receivers. Ultimately, Andy Reid does a great job of scheming receivers open so even if the talent is unknown, they are still getting open and giving the QB quality opportunities. He has one of the best, if not the best TE in the league. He has LeSean McCoy and another good RB. You may think McCoy is done but he looks pretty good running with much more space in KC than he had in Buffalo. I have charted 3 of his games and he has completed 3 passes (1 per game) into a window or tight coverage. I have charted 2 of Allen's games and have him down for 9 completions into tight coverage or a window. I am positive Allen's receivers have dropped more passes.

I don't think they purposefully scheme to get certain guys open like Andy Reid does until desperation point and then they pull out some nice play calls like using McKenzie. They don't really use the screen passes that often to get some easy completions and force defenses to cover the whole field. So there are things that I think the coaching staff can do to help the offense by scheme, but it isn't the only problem. I feel like the Bills just like to take turns at who will destruct a drive. On 1 drive it will be a critical penalty on a successful play. Then the next drive will be ruined by poor protection. Then the next drive is ruined by a dropped pass. Then the QB turns the ball over. Then the coaching staff passes on a field goal. Which I would like to point out that the Bills did have 20 points in potentiality yesterday as they passed up on 2 field goals. One early in the game and one on the last drive. Even through the struggles, when you count in all of the missed or passed up field goals, the Bills have been good for at least 20 points in all but the Patriots game. Maybe they did in that one but I have yet to watch it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What a terrible read on Allen by these two guys. * Okay, so who among the Bills current stable of skill players does an opposing team HAVE to stop because they're a threat to break a long TD on any play? Yea, thought so crickets. * BTW, I'm not trashing the Bills skill players as we've seen a significant improvement from last year to this year. But if you're going to chide Allen for not making "huge" plays you have to consider the explosiveness & big play capabilities, or lack thereof, of the receivers/RB's. * They then ramble on about developing Allen like Newton. They claim that the Bills first surrounded Allen with big (6 ft 5) receivers and when that didn't work they went and got him little shifty WR's. But Allen's inaccuracy prevents him from hitting them so he's a total bust. What the hell? * First, are Holmes & Benjamin playing in the NFL this year? If I was going to go out and get BIG WR's they would be the last 2 guys in the sport I would bring in. * Not to mention that these 2 morons aren't aware that last years WR core was set up for McCarran and/or Peterman - NOT Allen who was expected to babysit a clip board his rookie year. * As a fan I get a lot wrong and by definition I'm emotionally biased. But I don't earn a living from rooting for the Bills. These guys are "professionals" who make a living from doing this kind of stuff. So what's their excuse for making simple factual mistakes & injecting personal bias into the discussion? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He consistently throws into double coverage, doesn't know how to take a sack or throw the ball away. His interceptions were all horrible, and the sack he took at the end of the first half that moved us back 5 yards when he had all day to throw likely took 3 points off the board. He did a similar thing last week on an intentional grounding that knocked us out of field goal range. The Buffalo Bills are an elite NFL team without a QB. Allen is super talented, but his decision making and awareness are really bad. He looked okay the first three weeks but in his first major test he failed miserably. Your anti-Allen posts are a liability. Go root for the Patriots & leave us alone. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Bills offense is just now becoming a priority. My guess is that they had to figure out what kind of QB Allen was before spending a lot of money surrounding him with big play talent. Every type of QB can use a Brown, Gore & Beasley so there was no risk in signing those guys. In 2020 we'll see the Bills go after a dominant #1 RB and WR. With Singleterry likely to be our "3rd down RB" the Bills will look for a stud bruiser who they can pound an opponent with and make Allen's play action pass something to be feared. TE is up in the air because the Bills may have found a stud in Knox. We'll know better by the end of the season. They also need to add at least one top Tackle to the O-line. I also expect this unit to improve as the season goes on. It's taken a step back the last 2 games because of the quality of defense they've faced. But my sense is we'll feel a whole lot better about this unit by the last quarter of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen is learning, and learning means you make mistakes at times. I myself have said it's not making mistakes, but making the SAME mistake that can be irritating. Like the pick last week; folks can say all they want it was on Yldon, etc., but Josh has to stop throwing back across into the middle of the field. That is a recipe for disaster.

BillsFanSD Posted October 9, 2019 Share Posted October 9, 2019 7 hours ago, papazoid said: josh not in top 25 in passer rating or total qbr he has a long way to go yet Sure, but there's lots of reasons for fans to be optimistic. Allen made huge strides from the first half of his rookie season to his second half -- it was watching two totally different players. Then he made another huge step forward over the offseason. He has plenty of room for improvement, but the good news is that he's getting better over time and is very clearly on a positive trajectory. If Josh Allen 2022 is playing exactly like Josh Allen 2019, that would be unfortunate. But we have no reason to expect that and good reason to expect additional development. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
