He had good “stats” last Sunday in Miami too … are you going to tell us he played well? 


He did somewhat have garbage time stats on Sunday, but the Bills were battling to get back into it until that redzone INT.

 

Would you say Allen has had a lot of “garbage time” stats this season? I would argue he’s had almost none, and maybe 100 yards of this past Sunday were when the game was realistically out of reach.

Chris Simms on the Bills offense vs Miami:

 

 

I considered making a new thread for this but it fits into this thread just fine. I recommend watching the entire 12 minute video.

 

Nothing he says here should surprise anyone. Highlights:

 

-When defenses are able to stop the run, we have no counterpunch. He points out when you face playoff defenses you will inevitably have a game where you can't get the run going, and we don't have any answers to overcome that.

 

-Way too much is on Allen in the pass game. Nothing about it is surgical, it's all on him to create big plays.

 

-He blames the personnel more than the play calling but does criticize the play calling for dipping into the same well way too many times. The same concepts are constantly showing up on film. We're attacking the same areas of the field over and over again and Miami's defense was clamping down on it.

 

-Miami was in zone most of the game, cover 3 specifically 67% of the time. He says they were easily passing off our various crossing routes and we had no way of attacking them outside to get them out of those looks. He says "Allen can throw comebacks while sitting on his ass" but we don't have those routes on the menu because of our personnel.

 

-He criticizes Coleman in particular. He says that several times Allen hits the top of his drop looking in Coleman's direction but Coleman hasn't gotten to his spot and/or is jogging, so Allen ends up having to move on in the read.

 

You can tell how flabbergasted Simms is that this is the offense we've built around Allen. An all-time physically gifted QB and we're just asking him to throw button hooks and short crossers. We spam the same boring play calls and we have no one to take advantage of Allen's arm downfield.
