Question… Does Allen put touch on his passes a lot? What I mean is instead of firing it in like a canon (like say Newton use to or Carr) can he take something off it to make it easier to catch in very cold weather?  Just asking because I don’t see to many Bills games and the ones I have seen he zips them in (seen like 4 games 2 were terrible weather.) 

 

trying find any place for an advantage lol..

I have two answers to your question:

The non-friendly answer, since you're a Pats fan, is...there are 64+ games worth of highlights available on Youtube, go find out for your damned self!!!!

...but the friendly answer is that yes, he has shown the ability to use touch at a high level over the past few seasons. That said, his receivers have been dropping more passes than usual in the recent string of cold weather games, and it sure looks like it's because Allen is putting a bit too much mustard on them.

He is definitely capable of this. For an example of the dichotomy, if you watch the jets game highlights in quarters 2 and 3, and the falcons game highlights, you'll see how weather forces him to lose some touch and results in inaccuracy and bad timing. But with the wind in q 4 of jets game, there is a gorgeous touch pass to Davis. He always throws harder than average as a rule but when weather doesn't impact it a huge portion of his improvement over the last 2 years has come because he has learned to throw with touch. Given that it will be so cold, and NOT windy, I could almost see it as more likely he goes too far in the direction of adding touch, versus zipping throws in there. He doesn't need to do the latter on Saturday. 

 

There are certainly ways for the pats to win and some involve allen being off or making mistakes. But if he's dialed in you will likely need to look elsewhere (special teams and defense mistakes, rb fumbles etc.) For an advantage

Looks like bills are wearing blue on whites again. Wonder if they permanently ditched the white on blue 

 

White on blue is only for away games. Although it's visually my favorite combo, I hope they've ditched it for the full white-on-whites for away games.
