The Dean Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 7 hours ago, GunnerBill said: Passing yards? Over Passing TDs? Over Rushing yards? That is where I hesitate. Josh didn't have fewer rushing yards in 2019 because he ran less. Indeed he ran more. He had fewer rushing yards because teams defended him differently. A lot of his 2018 rush yards were running up the middle of the field. Well teams adjusted and took that away. Easier to do when you don't think the Bills weapons outside can beat you. Try doubling Stefon Diggs and still spying Allen in the middle? Well now the Bills are playing 9 on 8 in their favour everywhere else. Stefon Diggs's presence could get rid of some of those spys and open up the running lanes for Josh again to break off some of those big ones. I think that is PART of the explanation. But Josh didn't run with the same reckless abandon last year, as he did as a rookie, IMO. He was smarter while running (to protect his health, I imagine) which resulted in fewer yards, IMO. Defenses probably played a part, as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloFan32 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 Apologies if this was already covered but what happens to these numbers if the season is shortened? For the record, I would take the over on the TDs! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe like 3700 yards passing, 600 yards rushing, 28 passing TDs and 12 rushing TDs, something along those lines to hit the overs right That's total 4300 yards and 40 TDs For reference, Jackson did 4333 total yards and 43 TDs for unanimous MVP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also not sure about where the 12 RTD’s came from. Would that be one of the best rushing TD seasons in NFL history by a QB?

GoBills808 Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 He had 9 last season on 510 so he gets another @600 by default, if you're having hard time finding two more just put them on the passing side of the ledger as a Diggs bonus If you can see Allen hitting these overs it's a no brainer to put in a wager for MVP but then you don't strike me as a betting man so I won't bother trying to convince you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I’d rather not making Vegas rich again this year. Josh had 600 yards rushing as a rookie and actually had less RTD’s so your explanation of 9 turning into 12 falls a little flat.
