Also because they opened the game with a very similar play and it got stopped

I dont understand this post at all. Should we temper expectations because Herbert and Burrow look decent?

Yea the general vibe JT gives off is that Allen almost made more mistakes than good plays which is what bothers me. Its not the occasional "This could have been a bigger play..." its almost every play was an error and the occassional positive. Which just doesnt fit. I would like another successful QB or coach to review this video and say whether its legit or nit picky. My gut tells me nit-picky but I dont know enough. Like would Rogers have thrown for 600 yards and 6TDs within the same game because he wouldnt have ever missed a single opportunity to maximize gains? My intuition tells me no but Im not sure.

DING DING. There are a few guys that have bad numbers but can improve and become great with a change in circumstance. But there are a lot more guys that have bad numbers because...they are bad. Its not easy to sort out which side a guy will land on.

WAIT! We have done this before with a QB that played well in the first couple games, it did not end well. We have the 5th year option so Josh isnt going anywhere. Let him play this year and then we can excercise the option and negotiate in the meanwhile. WAIT.

Exactly, we want to lose this game if I remember correctly.

If we score early and often itll force them to have to throw. Thatll be the best thing for our defense. We can play more nickel and dime, get starters on the field. If it is a close game or we get down they can run right at us or attack the short stuff and keep possesion. Cmon offense, show us what youre made of.

Other: Epenesa if he continues to be a healthy scratch.

I think he will easily top his throwing yards this season. 312 is very good, especially for him in this offense but there will be games where we need to score TDs in the second half and he will need to air it out. 1 or 2 deep balls will be caught that do wonders for your yardage total. Also 3 TDs isnt that difficult to beat, heck he shoulda had at least 4 in this game

1 deep ball a game does *wonders* for YPA...

From Joe B.'s article:

Yep thats all anyone needs. Its the 5-second GIF that will be circulated around to "LOL @ JOSH ALLEN" all week. 70% on 46 attempts, 300 yards, 3 TDs and 57 yards on the ground is all for naught. Nevemind the many plays he doesnt take a sack and turns it into a positive play. The only thing that matters is the Brown miss.

Patrick Mahomes had multiple throws that were way off target on thursday. I dont really feel the need to defend Josh anymore, especially after a game like this. If you want to criticize his game thats on you, 20+ franchises would be ecstatic for their QB to put up a game that Josh just did.

I vote for Bathtub Billy's as well. Great divey feel. Romigs will probably be good too, but I think its a Raiders bar when they play.

It took my longer than usual to get excited but once more and more info and videos started coming out of camp, thats all I needed. Ill be full throttle on Sunday.

From The Athletic so its behind a paywall: https://theathletic.com/1863184/2020/06/11/ten-things-a-football-nerds-guide-to-the-2020-buffalo-bills/ "There was no run play in football more likely to produce a positive outcome than an Allen carry."

Ive always heard its because of the spread offenses thats so prevalent in HS and college. They dont learn true technique for a pocket "pro-style" passer. Now that what is considered "pro-style" is changing to be more spread, I wonder if the perceived lack of O-lineman will change too.

Interesting takes there.

heck ill take it. I live downtown but im at work now. I could pick it up this weekend.

Yes that is very true.

Interesting that neither the Pats and now the Chargers have numbers on the sleeves. in 2019 there wasnt a single team that didnt have sleeve numbers: https://news.sportslogos.net/2019/09/08/2019-nfl-week-1-uniform-matchups/. Now there are two. Must be a trend or an NFL rule change.

Hes really personable. Went along with their jokes as well as I could have hoped. I also loved the little tidbits of how he prepares for the draft.

He also broke the OBJ trade news. When he has something it is usually real and big. He doesnt meddle in the small-time news. One guess: Gronk coming out of retirement and playing for the Buccs.

Uhhh, except for the guy you put as #1. I think its Jackson #1 and then Darnold/Allen/Mayfield are all tied for 2nd at this point in terms of ability to play QB. The Bills are just a much more complete team/organization than the Jets and Browns. Year three will show the trend, does Allen continue to rise and Baker continue to fall? We shall see.
