He also throws the ball a ton which increases the probability. I’m ok with a few INTs if he’s otherwise producing through the air. 

Exactly ^^^^  seems just like yesterday when we had all these discussions about our QB being afraid of pushing the ball down field , and how sick and tired we were of hearing ( well he’s protecting the ball ) and doesn’t turn the ball over , and now that we finally got a QB that leads the league in passing yards and is winning games for us and BTW only 7 INT after 10 games  and some people are now complaining about that , jus f*****n SMH 🤦‍♂️

he's only got 7 in 10 games. that projects out to only 11 on the season.

 

That's still more than we'd like him to have.  He had 9 last year.

We’ve reached our bye week, and I think having one this late in the season is a total gift. Get healthy for the stretch run of the last 6 games and playoffs. We are leading our division, 7-3, and have the league’s leading passer at QB. The Bills have 4 wins over teams with winning records and their 3 losses are also to teams with winning records. It’s been a gauntlet, they’ve dealt with lots of key injuries/opt outs, Covid issues, etc and while not they aren’t perfect, they are pretty damn good. Josh will likely get passed in week 11 in yards but I honestly never really dreamed he would be at this level at this time last year.
 

 

 

Yolo, do teams do injury reports during the bye?

 

Anyone else know?

I don't watch all the other INTs in the NFL but it's worth noting that Allen could also have 2 less INTs than he has.  The Kroft catch that was ruled an INT was laughable.  The pass that bounced off Roberts shoulderpads or whatever should have been caught or knocked down.

To be fair, he could have had at least two more also, just from the Cardinals game.

I hate bye weeks...

This will be good for the team, though. They should come out on fire against the Chahgahs.

I needed this one. I am pretty banged up from all the excitement, pizza and wings etc this season !
 

But honestly , i love that the Bills get a late bye week. Seems an advantage to me.

 

Go Bills

The late bye works well for the Bills.  I think anyone would have taken 7-3 at this juncture, and now we get guys healthy for the stretch run. 

Yessir !

Was listening to WGR they we’re talking about Poyer Greg Cosell said that Poyer is one of the best safeties in the league and in his opinion even better then Jamal Adams

Good thing they extended Poyer before this season. Same with Dawkins. Their value has only gone up since. 

 

Both players who are better with bigger wallets in their pants.

 

I wonder if Poyer could beat Kyle in a swimming contest.

To be fair, he could have had at least two less if referees had better eyes but you course left that out Phish Finn.

I guess I would disagree. His int % is actually lower than last year. He’s throwing a ton. I can’t find a rankings of int % but I’d wager he’s in the top half of the league.
 

he’s on pace for over 30 td passes while his int % has dropped a tick from last year. With what has been put on his plate due to lack of run game and defense i know I’m personally fine with that pace... it sure would be nice to see him string together a couple of error free games like he's shown in the past though.

14th with 1.9%  12th if you want to call it a tie instead of going out to a 2nd decimal place (hidden).  So top half of the league, sure, but we want him to be better.

Lot of guys on the list above him passing a ton, too - Mahomes, Carr, Brees, Rodgers, Big Ben, Ryan, Burrow, Brady

It’s crazy, I do think there is an element of luck to it and he’s able to have “bad” games when he faces a lot of pressure like in most of the SB last year. He just has the ability to come through in the clutch even if he does have a bad game. 

And he never seems rattled.

right. he threw only 9 all of last year but his int % is actually slighty down this season with a TON more attempts.

Add the fact that the normally more safe security blanket TE throws are practically nonexistent.  Its hard to put to much blame on a QB that is lacking proper run support or production from the TE position IMO.

 

I know I sound like a broken record. T J Yeldon and Duke Williams need to be utilized in the Bills Offense IMO.

Apologies if this was covered, but is John Brown expected to be 100% after the bye week?

Having Smoke healthy to finish up the season and for our playoff run would be HUGE

We all know by know what to expect from McD when it comes injuries , we probably won’t know anything until next week and then it will be something like day to day 

im assuming it’s for strategic reasons

As for the interception debate up thread: Josh is only to be blamed for 4 of the 7 if you exclude the not INT against the Rams, the Roberts drop against the Titans, and the miscommunication with Diggs against the Pats. (Obviously these still count on the boxscore, but they aren’t necessarily indictments against JA.)
 

That leaves the bad ball against the Titans, the late game hero ball (where there wasn’t much else to do) against the Chiefs, and the two against the cardinals that seemed squarely on him. 
 

From a decision making and mistake making point of view, he’s still doing very well with the interceptions.

He's an effing stallion.  Post bye week I think we see a good run for the Bills.  Allen always seems to respond after disappointment or mistakes.  This Sunday sucks without Bills football, but next weekend we begin our real push toward the division title and beyond.

Best to do it now before someone else does and you need to pay for sloppy seconds.  It helps pays my salary.

Is there any updates on Dotson or his he IR'd for the rest of the season?

 

Dodson has been on IR for 3 games - 4 weeks after the bye - and is eligible to come off at any time.  I can't find anything about the Bills designating him to return to practice yet.

 

The Bills have not provided an update about him and I haven't heard anyone ask.

I would like the flexabilty to have edmunds on the edge blitzing and a decent cover back in the middle.  I think the defense is the most dangerous when he is on the edge.  Milano coming eventually helps that but idk if he can comeback.  Dotson showed enough to fill in there and I think he plays the mike more naturally for himself and vs the run bettet than Edmunds.
