However, even his career splits are better on the road, not just this year. He averages over 40 yards/game more on the road and has a higher rating and completion percentage with fewer INTs in 50 more attempts. This may be a great thing however...a lot of QBs wilt on the road...Allen plays BETTER on the road, and it isn't like he is bad at home or anything...

MJS 8,493 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 The Bills played the Rams and Steelers at home. Two of the best defenses in the league. They played the Chiefs at home in a bad weather game. I think the evidence is circumstantial. Tough opponents and weather played a factor. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skibum 347 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I like Josh Allen's arm in Buffalo winter against Tua, Tannehill, Mayfield, and Jackson. Those are the QBs we are more likely to face at home, anyway. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

TheFunPolice 2,165 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 It will be a bit of a bummer to have a home playoff game and no fans. But I wouldn't be 100% sure that NY State doesn't allow a handful (5000 or so) fans since it is outdoors, in mid-January, and everyone will be bundled up anyway.

Nextmanup 3,500 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 I think the benefits of playing at home, in an empty stadium, outweigh the perceived benefits of playing on the road. Unless the game is played in a blizzard or some ridiculously bad weather, which it probably will not be. I think the empty stadium helps Josh a lot. I also think the routine of waking up in your own bed, etc., in a familiar stadium is a benefit. Not huge, but it's something. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

His home/road splits for last year showed the same trend and were even more extreme. I still like the idea of facing Rivers and Roethilisberger at home and then Mahomes on the road.

TheFunPolice 2,165 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Minnesota has a really cool stadium, with the glass roof. I don't like indoor football as much, but that one, with the end doors open, is almost like an outdoor venue Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SCBills 4,833 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 When our defense couldn't stop the run, facing a run heavy team at home, if the conditions are bad, wasn't ideal... but with our defense rounding into shape, give me home games. I'll take Allen throwing in potential wind/sleet/snow, against any of the QB's we could face at home. Mahomes plays in home bad weather late in the season also.

Mike in Horseheads 2,122 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 2020 has to be thrown out in any stadium conversations or for that matter everything but the game on the field, too many variables. So game on field is 10-3, awesome Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Figster 1,380 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) Traveling is an added distraction and danger this season IMO. I will say Allen in a Dome setting or nice weather conditions on the outside is not such a bad thing. I think Buffalo for the most part runs a finesse Offense IMO. Favorable to good playing conditions. Facing a RB like Derrick Henry in bad weather does not appeal to me... ( or Chubb ) Edited December 17, 2020 by Figster Quote Link to post Share on other sites
PrimeTime101 903 Posted December 17, 2020 Share Posted December 17, 2020 Right now the narrative of being better at home or away is meaningless cause of no or little fans.. there is no home or away advantage. I look at it as who did we play away outside our division and who we play at home outside our division.. So in typing this I am going to break it down and figure that out. Home: 4-1 Combined win loss +/- 45W-20L + 25 Rams KC LOSE Seahawks Chargers Steelers Away:3-2 Combined win loss +/- 33W-33L 0 Raiders Titans LOSS Cardinals LOSS 49ers Broncos(trying to keep it 5 each side to get a good look, we going to win anyhow) Other then 60 MPH gusts I think Josh can handle weather.. Intangible Is Injuries during away games. If you choose to break it down like this then I choose home. Again we not basing it on intangibles so off that. I say home and it matters..

You do bring up a good question and my answer is "It Depends" If the opposing QB is going to be more adversely affected by Buffalo weather than Allen, play the game at Bills Stadium. If it is the opposite, playing on the road may be better for us. In other words, it is a relative, not absolute thing Give me the Colts in round 1. Obviously or the Raiders or Dolphins but they aren't getting in. Edited December 17, 2020 by Big Blitz Quote Link to post Share on other sites
