FilthyBeast Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 One thing that's not being talked about enough is how Daboll and McDermott essentially shifted the entire game plan in the 2nd half yesterday after Allen's 3rd turnover. The committed to the run and luckily it worked. But it was almost a way of benching Allen so to speak but not letting him put the ball in the air and risk blowing such a crucial game. Will be interesting to see what Allen looks like this week against a feisty jets team looking to play spoiler and playing their best football of the season.

I think a better description is that Debold finally figured out that the way the Falcons were playing us on defense combined with the limitations of the weather on the passing game forced his hand at changing the run/pass balance. And it's a good thing that our ELITE QB has unique rushing skills matched by ONLY two other QB's in the NFL (Murray & Jackson) which enabled him to superbly execute the change in game plan. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought you disappeared after you were wrong about the Pats game. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nitro Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 11 hours ago, All_Pro_Bills said: I checked all the box scores for the season and the Bills are 6-0 when RB's get 20+ touches and 4-6 when they don't. I realize its one simple stat but maybe there's a lesson in that somewhere for the OC that we don't need to throw the ball 40+ times to win. Gadget play in the red zone was an interesting call Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bing Bong Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 He really was cranking it yesterday. That throw to Diggs in the end zone Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh didn’t look good throwing the ball yesterday. Josh has been throwing harder than ever, as seen from my couch. He needs to chill a bit and remember touch is also part of the formula. To me, it has seemed that way since the 40 mph gusts vs the Cheaters. It’s hard to look at the last 4 home game stats without considering the conditions. At least we TRIED to throw the ball against the Pats. It’s more than they did. Edited January 4, 2022 by Augie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Richard Noggin Posted January 4, 2022 Share Posted January 4, 2022 But what about how HARD Josh threw that pass to Diggs yesterday? Anyone care to comment on that? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
