billsfan89 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 5 minutes ago, Boxcar said: Wilson is better than Josh (hurts to admit) and Lockett + Metcalf are better than Diggs + Brown or Beasley. If the Bills win this game, it's up to the pass rush and corners + Hyde to prevent the deep ball. The open field tackling has to be much better, too. Wilson is a top 3 or 4 QB in the league right now, Josh might get there some day but he is still in the top 10 right now. So no shame in saying Wilson a dam near 10 year vet with a ring is right now better than third year Josh. This game will likely be a shootout but hoping the defense can get things going just enough to get some big plays needed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YoloinOhio Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 Seattle has had a really weak schedule. The only decent team they’ve played (Arizona) they lost. I see no reason the Bills can’t beat them, though they have some exceptional players at key positions - QB, WR, MLB. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kemp Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 (edited) Not sure if this has been posted: In the last four games, Allen is 18-for-46 for 293 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions on passes that travel at least 10 yards in the air. That’s good for a passer rating of 32.2, worst in the league on those passes in that time frame. Expand that to passes 15 yards or more in the air, and Allen’s passer rating is second worst, ahead of only Sam Darnold in the last four games. It’s not as if the Bills aren’t giving him chances. Only four quarterbacks have thrown the ball 10 or more yards downfield more than Allen has in the last four weeks. He also had his top four receivers healthy on Sunday. His downfield passing game has disappeared, and if Allen can’t get it back, this offense will hover around the league average. Allen was one of the best downfield passers in football through the first month of the season. Defenses have adjusted to take it away, but Allen needs to find an answer.

I still think it's a combination of poor coaching and gameplaning being exposed (Daboll/McD) and teams figuring out that Allen can't read defenses and is only looking one players (diggs) way on most snaps. Also on what few deep throws we've seen the last 4 weeks they have been wildly off target shades of Allen's deep ball issues the last four weeks. This is why I maintain this team has serious issues beyond coaching and all the holes on defense. QB is quietly becoming a major offseason need which means this team will be right back to ground zero again if that's the case. I am just wondering what kind of sad life one leads that forces them to come onto anonymous football team message boards to talk this kinda crap lol.

It’s quite easily explained: teams are taking away the big play, and Allen’s supporting cast hasn’t been good enough to turn the short passing game and run game into points.

Scott7975 Posted November 3, 2020 Share Posted November 3, 2020 1 hour ago, High Football IQ said: Actually I am a manager of multiple people in my line of work. I treat my team fairly but I believe in 'social accountability' vs closed door management. It makes the individual understand what they need to improve and puts positive pressure to correct shortcomings and fellow team members also understand what's expected of them so they don't make the same mistakes. Regardless I understand why some folks think this would be a negative but if you look at this head coaches record against teams that made the playoffs each year (3-15 entering 2020) it's fair to say he's not very good against the NFL top tier teams despite his overall body of work and W/L record.

As far as the second, you have valid concerns about the amount of TD passes the last 4 weeks. I would say there are a lot of factors that have went into that (weather, game plan, three TD passes being dropped, defenses adjusting for sure) aside from just "Allens regression". I dont think it was the coaching staff not having a clue how to change their gameplan though. But we will certainly find out over the next few games.
