They’ll need to in the 2nd half of the season. Against who? Dallas? Pittsburgh? Baltimore? So many people afraid of teams that at the moment don't look all that amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Except in the 4th Q with the game on the line and Allen allowed to reveal his superhero status? Plenty exciting football to watch I’d argue!

ProcessAccepted Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 46 minutes ago, wagon127 said: For once, I'd like to be developing our Quarterback to be Elite some day. I want to win of course, that's a priority over everything else. If the opportunity presents itself, light up the stat lines. How many of the Quarterbacks, that we consider elite, have done that to our weak defenses over the years? You aren't the least bit curious if Josh Allen can put up those kinds of numbers? They are developing Allen. He's been under coached at the college level and has gotten by on his athletic ability against sub standard competition. At the start of the season the goal was to get his completion percentage up, it is. He's now reading defenses and making adjustment, starting to slide, beginning to throw the ball away. He's coming along as a quarterback. I believe that he's on track to becoming elite. I think by the playoffs he'll be significantly better but give it another year and he'll be a in the elite conversation. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

I would just replace “I would much rather” with “I think it’s more likely we”. Id actually rather see Allen’s 1st 300 yard passing game. It’s more symbolic for the development of our offense.

wagon127 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Its weird, that people will respond with, that you don't care about anything else, except winning. If somebody said they wanted to see a certain player score a touchdown, or Tom brady getting sacked, would people honestly say they don't care at all about that, they just want to win? If somebody said they want to see a Hat Trick or a fight in a hockey game you would respond with "I just want to win."? If all I cared about was winning, I would just turn the game on with 5 minutes to go, and see what the score is. But I watch the entire game, because "I want to see how exactly we did win the game." Saying you want to win is not a valid argument in this case, we all want to see this team win. This OP was created, I believe, to discuss if you think Josh Allen can possibly get to 300 yards against a defense like the one coming up. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted October 7, 2019 Author Share Posted October 7, 2019 People piss and moan about Josh not being like other elite QB's, but then piss and moan that I suggested this could be the game where he finally passes for 300 yards. I'm not talking about FF, I am not saying it like this defines who he is, it's not about media recognition, and I'll take whatever as long as we get the win as well. It was merely an observation that he is facing a favorable defense where this could be the first one of his NFL career. Some of you all need to go back to wearing boxers instead of thongs. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ndirish1978 Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I'd appreciate it if Josh were to advantage of playing a game against a terrible team by stepping on their throats and having this game be a foregone conclusion by the end of the third. Would love for Barkley to be playing in the 4th quarter and being able to rest starters. For that reason, I hope Josh doesn't need to put up 300 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Solomon Grundy Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 I believe Josh's stats and the offense will improve with the return of Tyler Kroft and Robert Foster. I like Knox/Sweeney, but the don't put fear into any defense yet. Kroft's presence will make them respect him. I'd still get on the phone with Washington and inquire about Jordan Reed Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted October 7, 2019 Share Posted October 7, 2019 Call me superstitious but I don't want to look past Miami as though it's already in the win column. They're terrible but going 0-16 is HARD to do so you have to believe they have at least one win in them somewhere. Someone on a podcast I listen to had it right: the front office may be tanking but the players arnt. They will be hungry every game they play to get a victory and a bit of respect. Plus they hate us so they'll be revved up to play well. If they start the game well they might believe they can pull a shocker. The key with a team like Miami is to bury them early because their heads will drop quicker than most. A couple of nice long drives to put them in their place and they'll unravel soon enough Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
