I like this game about as much as I liked the Eagles game.
I feel kind of similar but the Eagles have an all world coaching staff, and the Browns have the Browns coaching staff. I think that tips the scales in our favor. They are a very talented team, maybe more talented than the Bills, and I don't love our matchups. But they have been a mess this year for a reason.

I'd like to know what the critics of our 6-2 record thought our record would be before the season started. I have a feeling none of them thought we would be 6-2 at this point. So if the Bills are beating out every expectation, what is with all the complaining?

Are you implying if two QBs have similar passing yards, TDs, and INTs in year 2 while ignoring anything else, they will end up as similar QBs?
If so, do you want to guess who the following two QBs are with similar numbers in their sophomore seasons and whether they end up as similar QBs?
player A: 2843 passing yards, 63.9 comp%, 18 TDs, 12 INTs, QB rating: 86.5
player B: 2935 passing yards, 62.1 comp%, 18 TDs, 12 INTs, QB rating: 81.2
Well I'm curious about those 2 players.

Oliver is somewhat underrated on this board, Phillips is somewhat overrated. Phillips is better at finishing plays in the pass rush but personally I think Oliver is better against the run and not much worse against the pass.

After all the seasons of futility, this organization would need more than just one signature won to reclaim respectibility.
I would think the opposite. After over 15 years of being irrelevant, simply making it to the playoffs should be a big story. Next year the expectation should go up. Truthfully we aren't covered because we are a small market team and our core players are still relatively unknown. If we make it to a wildcard spot that will start to change.

and have struggled in every game
This is not true at all. We led the Redskins by at least 1 score from start to finish. The Giants got an early lead and then we easily pulled away with them - if that game counts as struggling, then the Eagles struggled against us. We have not completely dominated a team from top to bottom yet but that's a pretty lofty expectation.

If Josh stopped developing his play would be the quality of a Fitz type fringe starter (a guy whose success is heavily dependent on the talent around him) but luckily he just continues to develop in various aspects.
Yep and he's been improving since week 1 too. In the first 4 games his passer rating was 69.6. In the past 4 games his passer rating was 98.4. That's the difference between worst starting QBs in the league and 14th in the league. It remains to be seen if that progress sticks but it's a clear upward trend.

Josh is on pace for 3,300 yards passing, 500 yards rushing, 60.9% completion percentage, 20 passing TD's, 8 rushing TD's, 14 INT's, 4 fumbles lost, and a 12-4 record.
He also has a passer rating of 82.9 and ANY/A of 5.38, both are big improvements on what he did last year. Still not good enough but if he keeps progressing we're in great shape.

No INTs in three games now, and a total of 7 through 8 games. There are the three lost fumbles and four rushing scores so the total TD/TO rate for Josh is 14/10. Still needs work but trending in the right direction.
That's really all I wanted to see this year, clear and continual improvement. If anyone expected Allen to be a finished product this year I don't know what to tell them. He still needs to improve but he has made a ton of progress this year and I see him getting a little better every week.

Getting stopped at the 1 is even better than scoring the TD. This game is all but over.
-
My gut feeling is that this game becomes a shootout. We won't be able to rely on our run game to carry us to victory.

Good, I just didn't want to see the Patriots go 16-0 again.

Totally irrespective of what Allen does in the passing game, does it bother anyone else that our WRs don't attack the ball at all?
I mean, zero aggressiveness toward the football.
Agreed, and it's a bigger problem when you have a QB that can escape the pocket and throw on the run. The receivers don't do a good enough job of running with him and coming back to the ball.
They need to get a #1 WR in the offseason, somehow. Maybe AJ Green becomes a free agent. Brown and Beasley are a good start but we're missing a top end talent.

My only complaint in this game is the short yardage play calling. You can find other things to gripe about but they fixed some of the big errors from early on as the game progressed. The defense wasn't quite as shut down as I would have liked but you can't argue with 9 points.
But yes the short yardage play calling was really bad. The 3 runs to Gore on the goal line was egregious enough, but the 4th and 1 call to Gore was borderline criminal. We have a 6-5 QB. Use him in those situations. We weirdly will call QB sneaks when we have a yard and a half to go, but when we need a few inches we outsmart ourselves.

Didn’t do anything to win the game.
He scored 2 TDs and had a critical 3rd and 18 completion that sealed the game. The term "game manager" is total nonsense.

I thought he played very good situational football today. The sole exception being the sack he took in the red zone. That's an unacceptable mistake but he'll fix it.
This is the kind of game I wanted to see from him. He wasn't given a ton of chances to make plays but he made plays when he has to. He had 3 incompletions that should have been 20+ yard gains on each. Converted a critical 3rd and 18 to essentially ice the game.
I still refuse to put a letter grade on Allen but I'm very pleased with his progress today.

Foster down the left side. But again, for a 2nd game in a row Foster showed that he can get open deep. I think a big play or two will come soon.
Foster ran a bad route and then fell down. That was a perfectly fine pass. It was all arm because he couldnt step into the throw with pressure in the pocket. The receiver has to adjust and track the ball in that situation.

Allen has reduced the bad throws leading to INTs but yet another fumble and 2 more misses on deep throws again just keep you guessing on this guy.
What deep throws did he miss? He was very accurate today, to every level of the field.

Not true. Depends who the losses are against. 10-6 may not do it (though it probably will). In your scenario the four wins would need to be Denver, Browns, Pittsburgh, and either Jets or Dolphins. Beating Dallas and still losing 4 AFC games may not cut it.
10-6 is as close to a guarantee as it gets. I don't see any other wildcard contenders getting there. Certainly not 2 of them.

Could Gase be fired tomorrow? Seriously.

I'm giving my first anti-game ball to Daboll. His short yardage play calls were indefensibly bad.

Thought it was Poyer who punched it out?
You're right, I just rewatched it.

White is absolutely incredible. Too bad we didn't recover.

I worry that Phillips will get overpaid for playing a very specific role, but he does play that role quite well.

Josh Allen 2019 Regular Season at 58.8% Completion Percentage
in The Stadium Wall Archives
Posted · Edited by HappyDays
Really? I'm just looking for steady improvement. Every step of the way he has improved. From the beginning of his rookie year to after his injury. From the end of his rookie season to the beginning of this season. From week 4 to week 9 this season. Continual improvement at each stage. As long as he keeps improving I'm happy. If you're comparing him to other QBs you're doing it wrong. He wasn't expected to be a top 10 QB this early in his career.
