H2o Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) Next up on the schedule after the bye week, the Miami Dolphins. A team that is tanking, even though they won't admit they are tanking. Not really going out on a limb here with this, but if ever there were a game where Josh should be over 300 yards with 3 or more TD passes then this is it. It would also be nice to see Allen get his first 300+ yard passing game while not committing any turnovers in the process. It's almost haiku time everyone.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 we got 2 weeks for this ... my quick 2 cents RUN the damn ball with Singletary and Gore. Why even bother to pass more than 20 times? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wagon127 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 (edited) I think the bills should absolutely use some of the games coming up, to pad Josh Allen's season long stats. Gain some respect from national media. Edited October 7, 2019 by wagon127 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stank_Nasty Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Miami allows 170 a game on the ground. we average 140 on the ground..... I can see a couple of timely big pass plays set up by the run but I don't see 300.... nor do I care a whole lot, honestly. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Brown Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Just don't turn the ball over and it would be hard to lose with our defense against their offense. That means run more than pass as they're horrible against the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I posted this in another thread but I see the Miami game a a "fan appreciation" coming out party for Josh and the offense. The Fins defense is giving up an average of 472 yards per game--296 of which have been through the air. If the Bills don't match than number, I'll be utterly shocked... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfan1972 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 14-0 & then they let the defense take over..... Same story week after week. Scoring points is anathema when it comes to the Bills. Anything over 21 is a result of the defense or will be a mistake. Exciting offensive football is not their style. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PJBrown7 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I really don’t know why everyone is enamored with a 300 yard passing game? The formula we have currently, about 250 in passing and100 -150 in rushing seems to be working since we are 4-1. I’m just fine with good balance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dous21 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Miami have terrible run defense. if anything we need to pound Singletary and Gore. maybe finally have Allen connect on a deep ball. 29 minutes ago, wagon127 said: I think the bills should absolutely use some of the games coming up, to pad Josh Allen's season long stats.

BearNorth Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Tuning up the running game will do well to prepare for a December Schedule that includes Baltimore at Home and Pittsburgh and New England on the road. This team is going to need a solid running game at the end of the season. Also, Colts running game was a key to time of possession and keeping Mahomes on the bench.

Honestly, I don't care what his stat line looks like. Just keep making good decisions and win. Josh is still very young and learning to play in this league. He's got 16 games under his belt and he was someone a lot of people said needed years to develop. IMO the coaches are doing everything right with him... developing him to be a well-rounded QB. We haven't seen this before... but part of that is developing game plans that don't require him to put up 300 yard passing games. It's a process ? He's developing into a solid, winning QB. That's all I want to see. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we're up 14 points and Josh is at the 200 yard mark then forget it. Daboll will run the ball into the ground until the clock reads 00.00. Can he hit 300? Hell Yeah !

whatdrought Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I would prefer they run the ball and win a nice, short game 21-0 rather than Allen dropping back a bunch. We don't need a 300 yard passer if we're winning. Guys get 300 yards when they're in shootouts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
