ganesh Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Considering the success Allen is having in the 4th quarter where a sense of urgency seems to lift his play, should the bills consider running an uptempo offense at the start of the game? Thoughts? 4
Virgil Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Yes. Stay in shot gun. Keep a rb in the backfield. Keep it up tempo. I think that would be big for Allen 3

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Allen isn't the problem. It is the drops and the penalties. Hurry up will not fix that. 3
Chandler#81 Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 The Bills, to a man, have stated from the very beginning there’s a specific game plan for every opponent. They may go Air Allen, they may go Pound the Rock. They may go hurry up. They may run the clock. This includes shuffling OL depending on opponents DL, sit a starting WR or RB. Sorry, but they’re aren’t asking fans what they think they should do, nor do they give a damn. 4 2 1

Lagoon Blues Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I agree he seems to excel in this but all to often a 3 and out happens a few times in a row and the D gets way to tired. Finding a balance in that would be the key...If it works awesome...If it doesn't the D is smoked by halftime. 1
Kelly the Dog Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 At this point I am a believer in the concept that Allen is over-amped at the beginning of the game sometimes. It's impossible to prove and doesn't always look that way, but he has even mentioned or alluded to it himself at times. This could be a way to get him calmed down a little, quicker, with less time to think and just go out and play. I think I would try it. 2
Just Joshin' Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 (edited) Work hurry up into the mix in spots when you have a mismatch or when the D is gassed. I would not go the whole game. Edited October 22, 2019 by Just Joshin'

Expand .....a very fair assessment bud....think the adrenaline gets pumping a bit too fast...he presses and at times tends to play with his heart first versus his head....all part of the maturation process IMO...... 1

Josh ISN’T the guy who got caught Holding to negate a great pass by himself. Josh ISN’T the guy who drops perfect passes on 3rd Down. Amped up? I wish his teammates were that amped up. 1 2
Royale with Cheese Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 Like we did against the Jets opening drive? Yeah, that's the way we need to attack them.

Thoughts? Expand I like it. The ineffective starts seem to be Allen trying to get the "feel" or rhythm going, maybe this would help accelerate the process. When I watch the games, I swear you can almost pinpoint the moment things start to click for him and it reflects in his play and the way he carries himself.

Expand They were so amped they jumped the snap! I dont think he was all that bad at all in this game, especially on second viewing, and I agree with all of your points. I do think, overall, sometimes it takes him a while to get going. Surely not always, as I originally said. 1
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted October 22, 2019 Posted October 22, 2019 I have a theory that 4Q is when the game slows down for him and why he’s solid in game winning drives... further I hope as he gains experience it will continue expanding to more and more of the game until it’s eventually wire to wire.

Thoughts? Expand I'd be OK with it as long as they aren't going 3 and out quickly...going up tempo makes the defense declare much more because they don't have time to disguise and it simplifies reads. 1

Thoughts? Expand Wasn't there talk about how the Rams were coming to the line well before the helmet radio cut off and McVay was helping Goff decode the defense and set the protections? My thought is it all depends upon stuff I can't know, like how the Bills are handling who sets the OL protections and so forth. In general, I think it helps rookie QBs to have more time to communicate. 1
