How he does this per SI article: 

Magic Tricks

"Dad" Jokes

 

 

 

Maybe with regard to some of the guys who are having hard times with illness or playing through injury? 

Dawson Knox, Mitch Morse, Cody Ford, Brian Winters, Jon Feliciano, John Brown, Cole Beasley and that's just on offense -

Quite a list of guys who have reason to need some help keeping their spirits up actually!!!!

Um, why are their spirits down? Maybe it’s the global pandemic, the civil unrest, or the typical rigors of the most physical sport in the world. 🙄

I heard joe Marino go over some of these numbers on his podcast - the passing yards given up per game is an average of like 358! They aren’t bad vs the run but I wonder what the attempts are there because teams always trying to keep up might pass a lot more 


Feels like a reverse of us... we’re pretty good against the pass statistically cause everyone runs on us and never has to pass.

I just presented stats provided by someone else. You can disagree with the conclusions, but not the data.

Not debating those facts. But the assumption JA is forcing to Diggs. And do we have D snap count vs previous opponents? If I missed that my bad. I also was just reiterating what Kubiak said about JA’s play. I have a hard time saying that Pats game was JA best performance, but it appears he is seeing the D and switching to run in a better way. I think we all agree we need to see a better overall performance from the O and it starts with JA.

John Brown not practicing is concerning again.  He was a full-go all 3 practice days last week (while still being on the injury report with a "knee").  Hopefully just a rest day.  We need as many of our WRs as possible to keep up with Seattle.

 

I'm hoping that's what it is too, as well as for Hughes Johnson Winters and Milano (yikes! hurts typing all that)

 

I guess we'll see tomorrow.

 

Extra tidbit: Motor said they ran 1:1 in pads last Weds.  Diggs in his post-practice said they did it again today, "good on good".   So that might be an extra motivation I guess to keep a guy out of practice if it's "on the fence" whether he should be limited or out.

Not sure if there is any aspect of the game that our defense is arguably "good" at... we have been poor at rush defense and average at pass defense. We give up just a few less yards per game than NE and folks saw how we were able to gash them. It has been a huge drop for us this year - the kind that will keep a GM like Beane up at night analyzing what he could have done better and what needs to change.

 

Probably the two biggest stats the Bills should be able to correct is missed tackles and penalties. We have a lot of them, week after week we see poor fundamentals shedding blocks, high arm tackles, overrunning plays, and straight-up guys just missing tackles that piss away the good play that happens in fits and spurts, leading to long gainers and/or 3rd down conversions. We are also near the top of the league in penalties and yards assessed via penalties at 53 penalties for 501 yards.

 

If your defense is equally poor executing consistently against the pass or the run then you get the kind of games we have seen year. Nail-biting games that come down to the wire every week, where any turnovers or mistakes by the offense is magnified because their times up at bat are limited by the long drives given up by the defense. There is little margin for error.

 

Because the games are so tight and our defense gets gashed in the 2nd half of games, we really need our offense to clean up its red-zone scoring and capitalize on every chance we get down there.

I think QLBills is responding to your statement "Without re-reading it, I believe it did say that Allen is too locked in on his primary, which is usually Diggs."

"It" being Matt Fairburn's Athletic article

 

I did not see that conclusion in the piece you linked, much less statistics backing it up.  Here is the quote in question:

8. 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.

 

There's nothing in there about forcing balls to Diggs, much less data to support that, though that arguably has happened a handful of times.

 

Must have read that elsewhere. Been up since 2:30 AM, so I'm probably loopy.
