Mind Blowing Stat of the Day

[st pete gogolak]

I mentioned this in a prior post but can’t get over the incredulous nature of this stat. In the entire 17 game 2024 season, Bills QB’s lost a total of 68 yards resulting from sacks. Thursday night we lost 70 yards from sacks, more in a single game than the entire 2024 season.  Just mind-blowing.

[Coach Tuesday]

Allen was running around and backwards like a rookie.  I am not putting most of it on him but, why would he think he’s going to be able to turn his back to Anderson and Hunter and spin away from those guys?  I thought he’d at least figure it out by halftime but he kept doing it!

[LabattBlue]

Go figure.  Get sacked 8 times = a lot of negative yardage.

Denver has allowed just 12 QB sacks on the season. They do have three studs on the O-Line in Bolles, Meinerz, and McGlinchey. For reference Josh is up to 28 sacks.

I think what we are witnessing is we have a subpar Quarterbacks coach.

 

Allen is in his head, that is not a good thing. He needed someone to tell him during the game to throw away the ball. He needed a mind adjustment in real time, not days later during film review.

Yes and no. We’re 11 games into this season and Allen knows what this team is and isn’t. It isn’t talented. It isn’t a team that can make up a deficit. Does it matter if it’s 4 and 6 or 4 and 26 when you can’t move the ball. Right or wrong, he probably felt the only chance the Bills had was a superhuman busted play or 2. ####, after watching the Acho piece, I wouldn’t have blamed Allen if he went full on Techmo bowl and turned around and sprinted backwards 20 yards before turning back around for a desperation heave every play.

because we ran out of alternative answers for him 

[jlgarsh]

They've coached him out of taking off to run and the hesitation is causing indecision and leading to him taking more hits. It's the opposite of what works. Also, not pulling Spencer Brown at halftime was a mistake. The moved the ball when Anderson went in. Brown couldn't lift his arm.

[Joe Ferguson]

Joe Brady never thought of a short pass to our RBs to prevent Josh Allen from running around and getting killed.

Old habits die hard.  I’ve never played professional football, but I’ve got to think instincts take over in the moment which obviously weren’t working against that D Line.  Not to mention our O Line looked like a turnstile for most of the night.

He was running for his life. Literally.

He didn't have time to set his feet and throw before the pressure was in on him. 

[Steptide]

I've said it multiple times, and I'll keep saying it - it was completely ignorant of Beane or McDermott to think last year's offense was sustainable. Imagine after the 2017 season when we finally broke the drought, if Beane or McDermott was happy with that and just continued with that team. I don't know why they thought going into this season with the current offense was gonna work. Thinking Coleman would be become "the guy" was way too big of a risk 

[Aussie Joe]

I must admit .. when I first heard the 70 sack yards  lost number shortly after the game … I was flabbergasted…

And no designed an runs.  When a front runs up the field and the DBS are in man, Allen can go for a quick hitter run and do damage.

 

The fundamental strategy was poor all night, mainly because Houston very often knew what we were running because we refuse to disguise and break tendencies 

[BADOLBILZ]

We've seen horrible performances in certain games from Allen the past two seasons.

 

The passing game talent is so poor that it is always hovering around the critical mass line where it could turn ugly.........not having a healthy Shakir or Kincaid or Palmer is enough to require Allen to play off schedule all day to succeed.  

 

We saw it against Tampa last weekend.   The Bucs pass defense was decimated and couldn't muster a pass rush to save their lives but Allen STILL had to live off schedule to get his passing production.

 

That doesn't fly in some situations........like on the road against the league's best defense.

Amazing how Tom Brady just threw the ball directly into the ground 5 feet in front of him, and avoided being clobbered or running around like a keystone cop.  I always thought Brady looked stupid for doing that but then you watch Allen the other night and realize how smart he was.

I don’t think it’s that.  
 

I think the way teams are spying him is working and for some reason we don’t have a counter to it.  
 

 

 

Sobering realization:

 

Allen isn’t 24 anymore and can out run those spies with a move or a stiff arm thru the ground.  

We better figure this out quick.  Been said 1000x we are wasting his prime with this sad collection of talent around him.   

 

 

 

 

1 minute in - watch number 0 spy Allen

 

 

Watch all the plays.  Spy. 

I don’t think Josh is sure he’s going to out run them. 

[st pete gogolak]

Went looking to see where this might rank in the record books and weird, couldn't find it other than record for a playoff game (Sam Darnold, 82 yards lost against the Rams).  If this had been a playoff game, would have ranked second all time. In other words, that's a lot of yards lost resulting from sacks.

[CirclnWagons]

Seems a regression in o line protection plus Josh having the weight of a non functional offense on his shoulders coupled with wr’s who can’t get separation is taking it’s toll

[JoshAllin]

Zero prep for the #1 defense in the league. The positive is theyll have plenty to study and clean up moving forward
