I generally hate the "lead the charge". It is dumb, the team should be allowed to, and take themselves out onto their home field. Sure a special guest now and then is cool. I get it. But every effing week so so beyond dumb. That said, they should tell RP sorry this week. Kyle Williams will lead his team out onto his home field for the last time in his career.

God, this first paragraph is so infuriatingly pedantic. It drives me crazy, I don't understand the need to keep beating that drum. It literally does zero good. People have an understanding of what the words are, and they understand the intent of what the messaging is. Quibbling over vocabulary in regards to accuracy vs. precision does nothing. Boils down to you wanting to say, "JA is just as accurate as Aaron Rogers, he just isn't as precise". Cool, you win, but the larger point is still JA is not as good at throwing the football as Aaron Rogers no matter how you slice it. Now that I have that out of my system.... I don't think people mean to be asking Allen to check it down. The real issue is, he does not seem to do a good job with his pre and post snap reads. He is forcing low percentage throws when he does not need to because he does not see the field well. Just because he is capable of getting the ball to a spot hard and fast, does not mean he should.

The answer is probably because of what the FO told us and draft capital used to grab him. It’s a lot to give up for a 4-3 OLB. That said. If it’s his best fit it’s his best fit at this point. The switch also may stunt his development at both positions for a time period.

Correct. He hasn’t shown a ton at MLB in the NFL. Which is fine because he’s never actually played MLB even in college. He’s a 4-3 OLB. This FO would be smart to take a guy they like in the 3rd if he’s there at MLB. Flank him with Edmunds and Milano. A guy like Preston Brown comes to mind. Not great. Not expensive. Plays well enough. Will look much better with two very athletic guys on either side of him. Just my two cents

Lots of bad plays by our WR today. Don’t think that’s one of them. That ball was to Gilmores back shoulder. No way that’s a catchable ball. Didn’t give foster a chance

Both plays Shady stumbled after Josh took/kept the ball. Just out of character and happened in 2 plays pretty close together.

Is something going on between Josh and Shady? the 3rd down run, and this last play action, it looks like Shady was expecting to keep the ball and Josh is ripping it back from him. am I the only one seeing that?

Dude, didn’t you know. His accuracy is fine. He has trouble with precision./s

Define “define”

The Bills scored 14 points.... If the Pats do this, and hold us to 14, they’ll most like beat us. We threw for about 200 yards and ran for about 100, against a pretty bad defense. Let’s not pretend we were prolific against a top D, just because we won last week. This is the way I would play JA until he consistently proves the league wrong on it. Before everybody gets all up in arms because I said something other than total praise and perfection of JA. It’s not that I don’t think he will get there. It is just an honest inventory of where he is right now.

For the Bills I prefer white on white, or blue on blue. I wish we would just match them up for home and away.

It’s a silly take and you’re making a total strawman argument. Of course their are very catchable balls. Dude come on. Of course Clay has made some drops. And Zay. The post says he wants receivers to catch balls that they shouldn’t catch. It’s an effing wild expectation. Just to strawman you back. The NFL is on pace to have over 16,000 passes thrown this regular season. Not making it into the top 100 catches, means that they aren’t in the top 99.5 percentile.

I mean, comparatively we can get an idea to other teams. Assuming the standard for a catchable ball remains the same, the stat has “some value” outside of frequency. It looks like we are right around average.

I am always unsure if people who make this argument know how dumb they sound. So I guess now I’ll ask? What the Bills need is receivers to make catches they wouldn’t be expected to make? And if they had receivers make catches they weren’t expected to make, then our QB would be better? Or maybe, just say...Josh Allen really puts his receivers in tough positions. We can’t expect to have a roster for of ODB’s, but they have to be better than they are now...

Except for that minor Aaron Hernandez killing people thing....

More or less lost over then? Thanks for adding to the conversation. Love watching JA but he’s missing reads and making poor decisions today. It’s a thing that’s happening. Not sure what to tell you.

Feels like the big discrepcency here regarding drops is “could have” caught vs. “should have” caught.

Everybody is hating our receivers for not making tough catches. There have been a bunch of plays where we’ve either had a step or two on the DB, or Allen has thrown it down the sideline into double coverage, but there is has been no whining about that...

I lived in OKC for a few years. The Wild Wings listed on the site isn’t a Bills Backers bar. I tried it a couple times, there were never any Bills can. I tried to start something a bit more “real” at Bricktown Brewy. OK little spot. I used to actually work there too. Got maybe 10-12 people involved. Not sure if they kept it going. If you see Mike or Charles, tell them Justin asked for the volume on. They’ll probably do it. Haha. They’re still there, I was back a few months ago on business.

With our cap space, can we do a Brock like deal. We will take the salaries of Flacco and Bortles for 2 seconds and a third.

He’s an incredibly gifted athlete. That doesn’t mean he is, or is going to be, good or bad at the QB position. Currently he is fun to watch play.

If he were better at throwing the football, McCoy would be having a better season. Allens ability to use his legs is helping his deficiencies passing. His deificiencies passing are hurting the running game.

The OL is pretty bad, exacerbated by poor to inconsistent rookie QB play. Jets had had it right today, don’t let Allen be the best athlete on the field, and make him be the best QB. Josh is late on his throws and takes off because he isn’t quite seeing the field yet. It’s fine, he’s a rookie. But teams will TT him. Make him beat you with his arm.

THIS! Allen tends to throw a bit behind the receiver. He isn't processing the defense quick enough and is late to the throw.

Ill need to go back and look at the play. I’ll trust your eye on that one Kelly. But, just because he’s open doesn’t make it the right read or decision. It is man, cover zero. If the QB picks that up in the pre snap read, there is no way to expect him to ever sit on a route. It’s a miscommunication for sure. That’s fine it happens. There just seems to a lot of finger pointing on this one. If you’re a WR, and you realize you’re in man, you’re not sitting in a soft spot. You’re going to keep moving. You have to. It is a blown coverage from the defense. The right decision from Zay. Wrong pre snap read, and too late to see it from Allen. Allen may have thought Zay should sit, but that’s the wrong decision. Also not to pile on. This play is a good example of Allen’s biggest weekness today. He was late on a TON of throws. He’s not seeing things quick enough. People asking him to find the outlet quicker, aren’t necassarily asking for him to look underneath more. He needs to see it and throw it immediately. He is a lot of fun to watch play the position. But he also has a ton to learn about it. Really hope he gets there because I like watching the dude play
