A.
He played as well as you could hope. People discounting the opponent is non sense. Phins were on a two game win streak, divisional opponent on the road. It was really a deciding game for the Bills. If they had lost, the tailspin of seasons' past would have begun. Josh and the rest of the team handled their business like you'd expect a team looking towards the playoffs to handle it.

Helluva game by Allen and pretty much the whole offense and defense.
Hey @Questionable... notice all the slants Allen hit today.
Gotta call'em to hit'em lol

While it was against Miami, I did see a lot more conventional play calling. They threw a couple screens, couple pop passes, even had some seam routes working. Singletary got his 15 touches. He still had a couple throw away drives. Don't like to see 3 pass plays called when you're up. Should've remained balanced since Miami was struggling to stop the run with Singletary in there. But overall it looked much better. Just need to do it 7 more times this year and we're golden.

I dont think they are worried about the money its whether he can play up to his abilities or not .
I was speaking in general terms. Minus this injury, it certainly would be a concern for NFL teams but I don't think it would've effected his draft position.

With his injury history teams might shy away from him.
my Louisiana friend will ecstatic
I think that might be less true with rookie contracts capped the way they are. Used to matter a lot more when you had to sign rookies to high end contracts right out of the gate. However in this situation, he may not even be an option. Hip injuries are rare but very serious. It might be a couple years before he can play again.

Its gonna be a lb to replace LA.....McD is calling this shot imho. D focused. wr in rnd 2....
I think they might be moving Edmunds to Alexander's spot. Vosean Joseph would move into that middle spot.

My draft crushes are Tee Higgins and CeeDee Lamb. I really think we will be too far down for Lamb, so Higgins is my guy. He’s 6’4” and has a championship pedigree. Exactly what Allen needs opposite Brown.
CeeDee Lamb would be my choice as well. The Bills have equal need of an edge rusher and wide receiver, it will be interesting to see how they fill these needs, whether through the draft or free agency or both.

Very Predictable that the QB that also was involved gets NOTHING.
Oh god here we go with the white guy started it crap. Really? Did he? You're right, he was the one that instigated the late hit, slammed himself on the ground and ripped his own helmet off. ***** out of here with that garbage.

Rudolph 2 games, Garret 1 year minimum and assault charges should be brought up. Remember when Gronk tried to kill Tre? NFL Can't let this kind of thing continue to escalate.

Callaway was excellent in college. Can people be converted to "The Process" or are you just born into it?

DiMarco should be inactive and they should move towards using Knox in an H Back role when they feel the need for a FB. Not convert him to H back, just move him there when needed. Imagine those FB wheel routes going to Knox instead of DiMarco. I mean if they are willing to run a jet sweep with Knox, I don't see this as being too big of a stretch.
Daboll needs to scheme for his best players rather than trying to fit players into his best scheme.
McKenzie is also a victim of this. You see small, fast guys like Sproles for instance, get built into an offense all the time. But there has to be a very specific instance where McKenzie sees the field currently.
The constant rotation of personnel has probably created quite a few tendencies that make this offense very predictable to defend.

@MAJBobby But it still doesn't explain the .500 record. And those stats are most likely heavily skewed by guys like Brees, Rodgers etc that are effective 9 times out of 10 no matter what the play call is.
-
@MAJBobby that's all well and good when you have an established QB but most teams do not. You run first because you are attempting to create opportunities in the passing game with play action. You want the backers and corners on their toes rather than their heels so to speak, cheating up to stop the run. You can see the difference in our offense when we attempt play action and no one bites and you just end up with a condensed route tree and everyone covered. A multi dimensional offense is always harder to stop than an offense that relies on only the run or only the pass. In fact there are stats that prove passing a lot, passing for over 300 yards, not really that important either, with QBs having about a .500 record when doing so.

Some guys learn to not throw interceptions by throwing a lot of interceptions (Manning). Other guys say to hell with it and hold the record for number of interceptions while wearing the gold jacket (Favre).
You miss 100% of the shots you don't take.
Josh was looking much improved, even with the turnovers at the beginning of the season. Then he threw 3 picks and got a concussion in the Pats game and he's been extremely tentative since. He doesn't have to be careless or reckless but he does need to learn to trust what he sees and throw the ball. There's been a lot of hesitation on his part.

I agree that Josh deserves credit for the steps he has already taken as a quarterback. What I DON'T like seeing, though, is people putting on blinders and pretending like he's immune from criticism. He has progressed, yes, but he has a long way to go. He currently has the 30th ranked QB rating and 31st ranked completion percentage in the NFL, for instance. He has thrown just 10 TDs throw 9 games, despite playing some of the worst teams in the NFL.
Furthermore, as far as "creating rhythm"...how is an offense supposed to have any rhythm when the quarterback fails to hit open receivers so often? How are we supposed to know what identity the offense WANTS to exhibit when the field general of that offense plays so inconsistently and, at times, poorly?
I'm not saying it's JUST on Allen. The Bills offense is a combo platter of suck right now. Daboll deserves some blame. I absolutely agree with that. But to say that he deserves the lion's share of the blame or to try to completely absolve Allen of responsibility for how poor the offense is? That's rubbish.
Did you not pay attention at all to the breakdowns and GIFs from the Browns game? Cover 1 already DID show that there were options on some -- not all, it's true, but more than a few -- of the plays in which Allen either took a sack or threw an incompletion. Yes, Daboll can do more to help Allen, but Allen needs to start to learn to help himself. He needs to take more steps toward being a big boy quarterback. It's not all on the OC. Daboll is an easy scapegoat right now, because it's easier to want to fire the OC than it is to admit that the 1st round, prize young QB isn't getting the job done. It's not an either/or proposition. BOTH need to improve. But this "it's all on Daboll!" stuff has gotta stop. It's ridiculous.A couple of individual plays don't tell the whole story, only the one you want to hear.

Allen is the 4th most blitzed QB in the league, has the 6th most drops in the league. I'll wait for Cover 1 to come out with a feature about what Daboll is doing to mitigate that. That would take some actual film study to find instances where Daboll has set the offense up for success. I'd also love to see some stat or analytics or whatever they can come up with that supports these deep shots on crucial 3rd down and shorts. Or hell, even a reason why we continue to call deep shots down the right side of the field where Allen's accuracy is weakest, historically.

Just like you are doing in your post...cherry picking to cast your doubt on Daboll
I didn't cherry pick anything Cover 1 employee. I stated very basic, very obvious things Daboll could be doing to help Josh out and he isn't. Period. That's on overlying theme for the whole season.

I agree 100%
Maybe that's why he stopped posting here ...
Too many people called him out on "shoddy" reporting
Just like everyone else here, he cherry picks plays to make his point, never addresses anything positive that might show his opinion isn't an absolute. Same childish response you would get here if you refute his point. It's funny because he shows the one play, where Josh has 3 reads to make and he is under considerable pressure almost immediately. He blames Josh but he has no idea what the play call was, what his hot read was. To me it looked like Beasley was his hot read, he sets that way to throw it, has to come off of it and reset and by that time, play is already over.

Funny thing is, I doubt many of these fans were clamoring for Jackson . ( I liked him at Louisville and thought he should be a consideration if the team didn’t want to move up). Further, Harbaugh and the Ravens really had to step back and think outside the box with him. I doubt the Bills would have drafted Jackson, but I also don’t think they have the creative side to their coaching for it to succeed. He went to the best situation possible for him, and is thriving as a result. The draft is a crapshoot, but some of it comes down to situation and coaching as well.
Anyone who thinks that Jackson, Mahomes, Watson etc. would've been successful here are kidding themselves. Watson maybe. Mahomes is playing with an offensive genius. The guy schemes offense like Belicheck schemes defense. Jackson required an offense to be built around his skillset, which we can't even do with Allen, who has a more traditional skill set. Those guys would also have to throw to Zay Jones, Lee Smith, McKenzie etc. No Tyreek Hill, no DeAndre Hopkins, no Hollywood Brown.

Cover 1 is so full of *****. It's Allen's fault that on a 3rd 3 where the Browns are almost definitely going to blitz, his shortest route option is 10 yards down the field? Daboll knows teams are going to blitz Allen yet here we are, still calling the same, long developing passing plays. You know how you mitigate the pass rush? Run the ***** ball. Call screen passes. Make teams think twice about calling that blitz.

He is doing what McConsrvative wants him to do. See that is the problem hiring the GM after the HC and having BOTH report directly to Ownership. If there is a disagreement who wins? McConservative does
Wich is crazy to me. Wasn't that the situation with Whaley and Marrone also? Not a sustainable organization model. GM and scouts gotta be able to have more input than that.

During the Monday Night game between the Seahawks and 49ers, the Seahawks had multiple drives at the end of the game where the were in 3rd and less than 5. They’d bring our 3-4 receivers and had decent runs on each drive. Moreso, they gave Wilson who can scramble well.
On one of the plays, they ran the same fade route play that we did at the end of our game. Another one, they took a shot to DK deep.
Basically, the Seahawks ran the same type of plays that the Bills were calling that had many of us, myself included, flipping out.
Maybe this is analytics or just the modern NFL, I don’t know. But I just don’t understand these low percentage plays when the game is on the line and you have other things that are working for you. Wilson is an MVP candidate right now, so his passes were at least contested on the throws, but still. They convert on either of those 3rd downs and maybe the game ends sooner.
Either way, it leads me to agree with some of you on here that Daboll does call a modern offense, but it’s not one that fits our talent.
Last night was just interesting to see and gave me flashbacks to Sunday
It didn't seem as odd with a guy like Wilson back there. I think what really went into it though, is the turnovers in the ground game. I think Caroll would rather lose at Russ' hand than Carson/other back I can't remember fumbling the ball away in a critical moment.

To be fair, they've kept him hidden behind the line of scrimmage and people are seeing him execute the play that is called. He is something special when's unleashed on blitzes and in coverage. Play calling on both sides of the ball looked much better against Miami. Attacking the QB, simplified offense that actually called normal, NFL style plays that are known to work at timely moments. The staff at this point has got to learn to unleash these young guys every week. They don't need to be coddled, they need to be put in a position to be dominant. Sometimes that means they'll have to swallow their pride and move away from their coveted schemes once in awhile.
