Also, can't be using wind as an excuse, Beane specifically mentioned throwing in wind when he drafted Allen. These types of weather games are why Allen is in Buffalo. You only have to be better than the guy across the field playing in the same conditions. That still might mean below average to even poor numbers for the game. it doesn’t mean Allen’s going to slice the ball through the wind and throw for 300+ yards and four touchdowns. It could simply mean not making the big mistakes and converting third downs. That would be defeating the wind. Last year’s playoff game against the ravens was a pretty good example of Allen holding up in the wind while Lamar Jackson did not. Allen didn’t have a great numbers but he handled the conditions and got the W. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted December 6, 2021 Author Share Posted December 6, 2021 There's almost zero chance Josh has gaudy numbers tonight. I expect he'll get a lot of yardage on the ground and might have a fairly low completion percentage. But if he can limit his turnovers (I'm expecting he'll give it to the Pats once... hopefully not more) and is able to move the team down the field and get a few TDs, we win. If we win in a game like that... even an ugly one... he jumps to the front. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I expect even the running to be hard going for Allen. Belicheck has never allowed him to really get loose and dominant on the ground. But I do think Allen may break his career high in rushing attempts which is 14. He just might not get more than 65 yards in doing so. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 Good game by Allen all things considered. I would guess he'll end up with a QBR in the 70+'s for this game. Some huge drops by Knox and Diggs. He's not out of it by their are two clear must wins now. Tampa Bay and New England in New England.

This team is a dud and he can’t overcome that, he hasn’t overcome it all year. When was the last time we won a close game on Allen’s back? enough of the nonsense.

transplantbillsfan Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 As weird as it sounds Allen was pretty darn good in this game. Anyone who thinks this game takes him out of the MVP running is a moron. Blatant tropical storm force winds. At least 3 dropped passes including one that should've been a long TD. Constant horrible calls by refs. The one TO in the game by Breida, not him. Our idiot OC is doing more to take Allen out of the running than Allen himself. As others have said... next week and in New England. Show up and hope weather isn't a factor because our coaches aren't smart enough to account for weather 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't say he's going to. just that he's still in it mathematically. You may feel the Bills have zero chance of winning out. I'd disagree. Odds are slim yes. But not zero. And winning out would put him firmly in the conversation. His numbers overall are good after all. I'm simply pointing out that three is NO ROOM for error now in terms of the win/loss column. That is an extreme up hill battle. But before this game even kicked off there was always the possibility Allen could go 2-1 in the three games that matter the most (NE x2 and Tampa Bay) and be very much in the MVP conversation. So what difference does it make if that split is win-loss-win or loss-win-win or win-win-loss? You coming in here and apparently mocking this thread and Allen. Okay. Good job.? Glad you are getting your kicks. Edited December 7, 2021 by Sammy Watkins' Rib Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coaches need to get better. They don’t give MVP’s out based on what you’ve done through your career. If you don’t win your division, don’t have the close wins, don’t have the numbers and don’t have the team, YOU DONT WIN MVP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And they don't give out the MVP after 12 games and there's five more games to go. Teams do go on 5 game winning streaks. It's not like...impossible. And a 5 game winning streak would still give the Bills the division and the current division leader is the #1 seed. So do the math. That said, do I like our odds to win next week in Tampa Bay? No, not at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted December 7, 2021 Share Posted December 7, 2021 I had higher expectations for ESPN's QBR for this game for Allen. This one was definitely a W for the anti QBR crusaders'. Mac Jones QBR 4.3 (84.0 passer rating) Josh Allen QBR 20.4 (75.0 passer rating) Really, Jones QBR should be like a N/A. But 20 QBR for Allen really? 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted December 7, 2021 Author Share Posted December 7, 2021 I agree with this... but think what needs to be added is that last night our best player should have had a bunch of designed runs mixed in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted December 8, 2021 Author Share Posted December 8, 2021 The more I watch this play the more I just want to call it a drop, plain and simple. Diggs adjusted by turning around plenty early to have time to make that catch. And he normally makes it. Man I wish he did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
