Does the casual fan underestimate the added difficulty of running a play action adds to the quarterback?
Essentially you turn your back to the field of play, and have about ~30% less time to see things and make the throw. Allen is in year 3, and the play action is obviously not only decided to be used because our run game strikes fear into our opponents... I look at it as another development aspect that Allen continues to grow.

This salary argument is flawed for two reasons..
1- Brady
2- The salary cap continues to increase year over year... so it's foolish to look at it like this.
If you're truly worried, you do what KC did with the Mahommes contract.

I was blown away to hear about Pete Carrol admitting they expected us to just run on them, when they have the worst pass D in the league? Seems like disrespecting Allen and thinking the first 4 games were a grand fluke. If that's the case they deserve the fat L.
This was totally surprising... and smells like BS to me. That was a coach making a lame excuse for his team's continued failure on defense. I have no idea what the purpose of lying about this was, but it's suspicious for sure.

Not a football guy here.. but if two offensive players are leading the way, doesn't someone have to just occupy them? Did he do his job in this play allowing the interior defense to come in to make the play?
I guess maybe holding your ground a little bit would be preferred but that was a lot of mass coming at him.

If the Bills had lost the game, it wouldn't have been because of Josh Allen. The failure would have been on that defense to stop a putrid Offense that has street undrafted FA as their starting WRs
Agreed 100%. I didn't mean for it seem like I was pinning it on Allen, I think it's unreasonable to rely on any qb in the league to play a perfect game every sunday. This is the result of our pitiful run-D as you said.

Patriots played 7 defensive backs all game... don't get fooled that the Bills all of the sudden have a great rushing attack, we took what NE gave us on Sunday.

Josh Allen's game was far from perfect...the INT on a miscommunication between him and Diggs...the dropped pass to Davis in the EZ...a few more I can't think of right now, some missed opportunities.
And yet, we won.
I agree, that's why I think it's a good blue print unfortunately. Patriots aren't a great team and we could have easily lost. But I've mentioned this in previous posts, the Bills did what NE did to us for the past 20 years.. we let the other team 'lose' the game and didn't lose it ourselves.

Our coaching staff has shown multiple times they are not good enough to turn us into an elite NFL team. We will forever be a meddling team who sneaks into the playoffs or wins the division and exits in the 1st round, like the Bengals with Marvin Lewis. We are stuck with McD for a while so might as well see what happens and hope Allen turns into a top 5 QB
This might be the worst take I've ever seen on a football team🤣

The blueprint to beat the Bills is run the ball and force Josh Allen to play a perfect game. It's a very good game plan if you don't make mistakes (Newton fumble)
-
You do realize that opposing defensive game plans and the rest of the team somewhat influence a quarterback's statistics, right..?

The Bills used the blitz during moments of panic during the PATs.. I was losing my mind when on the few obvious passing downs that were presented, we blitzed instead of dropping into coverage against a very shaky passer, Newton.
So agreed, whoever is calling the defensive plays.. does not get it. -

You a little sensitive there, bro?

The Bills took a page out of NEs book.. which is when you're not playing a great team, if you just do your job, then 9 times out of 10 the other team will eventually hand you the game.
And fortunately enough, the drop by Davis in the end zone wasn't the play that flipped this script back into NEs favor. -
If they win this game, the division takes a huge leap in win probability. It's a pretty big game IMO

Bill didnt have this roster dropped on him. He made it. Drafted it, and traded for it. The Pats having a bad offense and 0 depth on defense is 100% Bill's doing.
Except... Bellichick wanted Brady gone 3 years ago. Instead, he now has a washed up Cam Newton at the helm, and a team that for the past several years outperformed from having Brady, that resulted in lower draft picks than what most teams would have been granted.... TO me this now proves that Belichick was RIGHT in wanting to move on from Brady sooner. This is the fallout from Craft stepping in forcing the Garrapolo trade.
IMO you can't take this year sample size (also currently only 6 games), to conclude anything. Belichick has a 2-3 year rebuild on his hands at this point.
-
Totally.. because the Bucs and Pats have the exact same roster, you can now make a definitive claim... hopefully the OP can now sleep well with this debate settled.
-
Couldn't agree more that the lack of run game is problematic... BUT there is a silver lining.
The division is essentially ours. If we just keep showing up, we have an easy road to make the playoffs assuming Allen stays healthy. (Notice the drop off in designed qb runs lately?)
SO
Keep Allen healthy during the regular season, and then unleash him in the playoffs.. thus transforming the run game back into a top rushing attack in the NFL. THAT'S IT.
Unfortunately for us fans, the offense won't be breaking any regular season records, and Allen isn't going to throw 30TDs this season... we're essentially watching an analytic navigation of the regular season, that will allow for the greatest post season opportunity.

Our D line has two different DT positions, meaning they are asked to do different things. The 1 tech is asked to eat up blocks and maintain the line of scrimmage / keep blockers from getting a free run into the second level (linebackers) - this is normally Star's role. The 3 tech is usually more aggressive at getting into the backfield and being a disrupter. Ed was drafted to be the 3 tech but since he is our best DT at doing the 1 tech job (because Star opted out) he is being asked to do that.
Thank you!

how about that Oliver isnt as effective this season because hes being asked to play the 1-tech when he should be playing the 3-tech, the position we drafted him for?
Can you elaborate? I'm not familiar with what this means but am interested.

No win this week is going to provide any super bowl confidence. It's the Jets. The Bills have work to do in order to get to being a playoff contender (meaning has a chance to make a playoff run). It's going to take several weeks and possibly the entire season to get there. They need to do the following...
-Shore up the Run D
-Start running the ball
-Figure out how to get a pass rush going, at minimum in game-critical situations.
-
Agreed, totally should have gone for 2 in this game.
Essentially kicking the PAT last night was an equivalent decision as going for 2 with no time left while the PAT could have tied the score. This was more aggressive to kick the PAT, and go for the win with 2-touchdowns.

Had the Bills somehow put up 30 points, the Chiefs would have scored 40+... Don't kid yourself.
I will say, the D looked like they finally came alive during the 4th quarter. They looked like they were playing hard. -

Decline offsetting penalty during Cards game?
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted
I couldn't find the rule on the google engine... but couldn't we have declined the cardinal Offside portion of the offsetting penalty call yesterday? That way we would have just taken the 'already first down' with a 10-yard penalty to still make it a 1st in 10?
I swear I've seen Belichick do this before.
