Gimme the relative numbers. How does this stack up to other games?

I love the Bills.

Honestly our social media team is legit.

Probably a slip of mind that's symptomatic of the teams he was on. Good call. The pure fan in me wants to see Takeo Spikes laying folks out.

Wood? That would be heart over head for sure. Moulds was absolutely unreal. For this team as built now? Prime schobel or spikes or pat williams...sure I'm missing some obvious choices.

It's upsetting how good the AFC is.

Knew the moment he slid it was short. Ah well, Moss handled it :).

The only QBs that have sustained success in such scenarios get the ball out immediately to short routes. It would be hampering so much of our offensive to go that route. Skimp on OL at your own peril.

Just a MASSIVE play. I was maybe more fired up/relieved with that play than any other. We needed it bad.

Those are way better than our reds lol.

Jerseys were ugly but the rest was beautiful. I'll take that tradeoff.

The attrition rate can be high. It's a mental gauntlet to see it through to the dissertation defense.

Maybe. It depends on priorities. I wouldn't be surprised if we let him walk, as much as I love his play.

He and Mongo are priorities. God I want to keep OL continuity.

We're awesome. I do think that's a goofy stat, though.

If he can own that role...whew. Look out.

Only one thing left to do....

This is the first game he really flashed for me. When he wasn't smacked in the backfield right at handoff, he ran hard.

Actually asking here: are there any breakdowns of how effective that is? I've always wondered whether it makes the zone more difficult to execute.

Let Allen loose. Cry havoc and let slip the dogs of war.

Yup. Stay healthy and keep this unit together! Let Allen sling it all over the yard.

Waaaaay into this

I mean, to this point, my intent in the OP was not to suggest we need to get better at running the ball. It was whether Allen is better when his passing attempts or ratio is high. I think he is, but I also haven't don't analyses to back this up or see whether it's more a function of the defenses we're playing. I think I feel similarly to one of Hapless' comments above: I think Allen's big games have been pretty damn good this year. The titans was a dud of a game, and KC wasn't great but rewatching it I wish we'd just gone with a better game plan and opened it up (as many have noted). He looked like he was right on the edge of popping off...in a more pass heavy approach from earlier on maybe he would have, weather be damned. But hell, I'm just so stoked on Allen that I want to see him wing the ball as much as possible.

Are you telling me we shouldn't have taken Bojo?? 4D chess from Bill, once again...

You just HAD to one up my summer 2019 post. Dammit Gunner. 🙄 But "when the game is in his hands" brings up an observation: I think last year a lot of us had faith in his "clutch" gene, and felt like that was when he was at his best at the end of a close game even if he hadn't been great prior to then. This year I think your statement is almost more literal (at least for me). He plays best when he's an integral part of the vast majority of plays.
