Billsfan1972

From the same marketing department that had the Nathan Peterman promotional video...... https://www.12up.com/posts/6166581-video-bills-post-embarrassing-nathan-peterman-hype-video

What is a 50/50 ball? One that should be caught 50% of the time. Great receivers win 70% of those battles. I doubt the Bills have won 5%. As stated I'm not watching highlight packages, I'm flipping channels and see catches that no Bill is capable (or has made) of. Yep wasn't an easy catch for Thomas, but one we see made in the NFL (outside Buffalo). Foster is a nice find, but stop calling him a potential #1 as he has a long was to go. Adjusting to the ball once would be nice (the Foster play yesterday was an example of a player who saw the ball vs. a CB who didn't and couldn't adjust). Oh yea & Clay vs. Miami. Zay did vs. Miami, but as per the Bills, bobbled it and trapped it on the ground. Allen tried a touch pass and that resulted in the first INT (and maybe the second too). However though a garbage time TD, it was one nevertheless and we know Belichek was not easing up (he never does). A great TD play to Zay. Allen is a rookie and has a lot to learn, but without a single receiver tough to watch. Use the cap space and sign Tate, who is a tough receiver who knows how to get open. However here we'll read that the Bills paid too much and should have spent the money on the line or defence.

He was not bad. If he doesn't throw two lousy ints, I'd have said he was good. It was a meh performance, but not bad by any stretch. Playcalling too lacked imagination (nothing new). His TD, though garbage time again showed his athleticism. But again minimal separation by the receivers, dropped balls, no adjusting to the throw or shielding the defender. Too would like to see Allen take the easy 5 yard pass at times.

The point is, I just got back and turned on the game. This wasn't watching the whole game and picking out 5 random minutes. All the negative Allen comments stupify me as case in point as ho hum a game Allen played yesterday (and yes 2 bad Ints), he was much better then Brady. I watch Brees, Willson, Rodgers, Rivers and all the top QB's in the league miss receivers and make bad passes, but every incompletion by Allen is analysed and pointed out.

I know it is old and tired, but it is almost surreal. I watched 3 minutes of the KC/Seattle game and watch A great TD reception by KC & then Lockett and Baldwin make 2 catches on the clinching drive that no Bills made all season. All I ask is for the proverbial 50/50 ball to be caught, a leaping reception, a catch on what is not a perfect pass, an adjustment made and making that hard cut to the ball. I am just beside myself.

Seen enough of Allen to be excited about 2019. My concern is always the same and it is bad line, bad receivers and dislike the play calling and playing for a 17-14 game. So Sunday vs. NE, I expect the Bills as always to try and milk the clock and that affects Allen's potential.

And the 14 points were aided in large part by two big PI's (43 & 23 yards). I really like Allen and defend him, but these receivers, the lack or separation, coupled with the terrible play calling and playing for 17-14 games doesn't help the development of the O. Forecast Sunday is perfect to work on Allen and the offense. Would be nice to see 28 points and playing for 4 quarters.

How about watching all 32 starting QB's and what they get out of their receivers and the passes they throw. I'll give you a hint...... Not everyone is on the money. Allen's accuracy actually has really impressed me if I was to believe the draft experts. This was about the 13 dropped passes, but again look at the pass charts from the weekend. https://nextgenstats.nfl.com/charts/list/pass I just am appalled at the lack or support he gets from his receivers.

It was in his hands in stride. Seeing the screen captions I understand some of the comments, but it was not a hard catch by any means and thrown with no one around him. BTW Allen threw a nice touch pass to Foster over the middle, again wide open, that was bobbled and challenged by Detroit. Another example of whether hard or a soft ball, any pass to a Bills receiver is an adventure.

Not at all what I was saying...... I just want to see receivers catch 50/50 balls, which is as per the name a catch that is made 50% of the time. I want to see adjustments made on long balls (i.e. Clay vs. Miami), balls that hit them in their hands caught and less bobbles. The last 3 weeks there has been terrible receiver play. As per the top 100 catches.... Doubt they make the top 250. The point there was that there hasn't been a "wow what a catch" moment all year.

I need a replay it looked as easy a catch as can be. It was about 8 yards past the LOS with him running in stride and no one near him. It was a drop in every sense of the word. Heck it could be a picture in the Dictionary under the word "Drop" from what I remember.

http://hosted.stats.com/fb/tmleaders.asp?type=Receiving&range=NFL&rank=232 Where do they find these stats? I can't believe Zay hasn't alone dropped 13 balls this year. To illustrate how bad the statistic is, ESPN did not call Allen's pass to Clay vs. NYJ over the middle a drop..... Still looking for a replay as he was wide open with room to run and it was a perfect pass and an easy catch..... Heck Zay had two hit him in the hands too that game dropped.

How anyone can not watch the Bills and not see that they do not make tough or contested receptions & drop an inordinate amount of balls is out & out lying.

Oh and both TD drives were aided by huge PI's on Detroit (43 & 23 yards). This offense and play calling is pathetic. McD wet his pants with this weekends 14-13 result......

13 completions for 204 or 15.7 yards per completion. Add 2 PI's for another 66 yards and then we see his worth. Oh and again 3-4 drops (a few would have been great catches but receivers got both hands on the ball). BTW Stafford had 22 completions for 208 or 9.45 and Galloday made at least 2 catches that no Bill has made all season. And Galloday was a 3rd round pick in his second season with already 1,000 yards (talking to you Zay) Just listening to the Ringer & BIll Simmons & Cousin Sal are calling him "Can't miss TV". They missed Shady and certainly some easy completions and shorter routes should be in the playbook. Hate this offense, enjoy Allen though.

And Kelly 0 4000 yard seasons. & for reference https://www.pro-football-reference.com/leaders/pass_yds_single_season.htm And I dream of a 300 yard passing game & win....

Golden Tate is perfect for the Bills and by far the best WR FA. But people would complain Bills paid too much. The guy battles and YAC is always up there.

Sorry windfall (spell check). Foster catch was a nice catch, nothing spectacular. The pass however was something else.

May be to feel better one can add the 2 PI's & 66 yards to the stats or the Deonte Thompson & Zay Jones drops (both not perfect passes, but catches made by many a wr around the league).

And a pedestrian catch like Fosters 75 yard TD is now considered a circus catch. I'd be excited to see a receiver fighting for a catch and am impressed when they adjust for one. Would like to see something before the end of the year. Like the holy grail 300 yard game, here in Buffalo 225 is considered a win fall......

Buffalo Bills football baby.... McD is convinced that 14-13 is the way of the NFL. A perfect weather day Sunday and plenty of opportunity and they played their milk the clock, hope for a break or two, no mistake football. Yes I too would like to see more offense and certainly there were opportunities.

I watched the end of the NE game and the last three passes Brady threw. All were terrible & not a chance to catch any in a do or die situation. Of course all I thought is if this was Allen, he'd be crucified here. The Bills receivers are garbage and don't make plays. Outside Foster, there is almost no separation and Zay seems to have leaned from KB as he doesn't come hard for the ball or fights to catch it. Allen pretty much on the money all day, with only a couple of bad passes. And he also was responsible for two PI that accounted for 66 yards and set up both TDs.

Was not way over his head. It was a pass NFL receivers are supposed to make. As per my thread, you look a every game and there are difficult catches being made. With the bills even feathering a pass in, they bobble it and it goes to video review. Zay just disappoints week after week.

Another week and see catches by every team, and even the announcers comment on it. Another couple of passes that while not drops, would have been nice to see caught.

The Bills mindset is a 3 point game from the get go (20-17 would be big time offense). Thus as we saw Sunday once they get a lead they start playing tighter and tighter. At 20-20, they play simply for the FG thinking that will seal the deal. It's an old worn out story.
