    This. 

     

    The Ravens wouldn't have sent the house every play and played cover 0 if they thought we could pass vertically. 

     

    They're playing Darnold in an entirely different way. 

    Allen got injured and had no threat of his legs three rushes for allen shows you how much that changed the game plan.  And call me a homer but I thought allen looked pretty decent in the second half.

    I decided to not say anything on the forums about Josh after the Ravens game. I know it is just one game but the result left me feeling a bit negative about him. That fumble was costly. 

    TE left to block the LB is a bad match up the LB wins 99.9% of the time it's the same with a TE vs DE I still do not get why teams do this.  It was also a backside (blind) hit on him and that will happen at times so I'm not going to dog on him too bad

    I'm not sure I follow this - could you expand a little, maybe change word choice?  What does this mean? 

    "Tasker still felt Peters red the play correctly in the slant that it would not of mattered.  Also mentioned his speed is so lacking they are rolling with speed"

    Sorry he was referring if Duke Williams would of been the target there he could of shielded Peters more from breaking up that play

    If you look very carefully at the all-22 (and someone posted this totally cool graphic off Yards Per Pass twitter) Beasley had only just started his break and it's not clear whether he'll get separation at the point where Josh threw to Brown.  He has plenty of time in that throw, but from how the defenders are moving I rate it as "not proven" whether he'd have had the extra second or two to get it to Beasley on that particular play.

     

    The thing is, it's total hindsight second guessing for Joe B; he calls Smoke's 3 stutter steps unconvincing, and they were,  but the fact is Smoke ran the route fast enough to be open and let Josh make a throw before the pressure got to him.  If they want Beasley to be an option for Josh on those routes, he needs to somehow speed up his routes a bit, but he "sold" his route so well because he gave it time to develop.  I am not a WR guru but I believe Smoke might have been able to move so as to "box out" Peters - this is actually something Duke Williams is good at, subtly using his body to shield the catch from the DB (but DOWN BOYS Duke doesn't have the speed to get down there and get open on that route in the first place).

     

     

    Taster talked about this w Chris brown on the Murphy show and Tasker still felt Peters red the play correctly in the slant that it would not of mattered.  Also mentioned his speed is so lacking they are rolling with speed.  
     

    adding wants to that big body guy w speed WR that will help in some 50/50 balls imo 

     

    bte I had no issues w Josh going to Brown.  After Josh hurt his foot/ankle the ravens really came after him knowing his mobility was limited hence he only had three or four rushes so getting the call out quick became priority 

  5. I did se Beasley on the final play coming open but Josh had already made the decision to go to Brown.  I agree whole heartedly with that analysis of the final play.  Beasley would of had the first and possibly a TD as well still not sure why he has not become the number one place to look for when Josh needs critical yardage the guy gets open because Brown is drawing the top DB as team are really focusing on eliminating him form Buffalo's passing game imo.

    Obviously my history is true. 

     

    The list of guys who have done it over the past 20 years is limited to Drew Brees, Eli Manning and maybe Matt Stafford (hurt his 2nd season but played really well prior to injury). 

     

    Otherwise most guys are what they are after two years as a starter. 

     

    With that said, I think Josh Allen desperately needs an elite wide receiver who can stretch the field. That should be the biggest priority for the Bills this offseason. If he's still missing deep balls next year then we have a major problem on our hands. 

     

    Agreed. 

     

    Tennessee were terrible with Mariota as QB. Their kicker also missed three field goals and was cut the next day. 

     

    With Tannehill they look like they could make a playoff run, if they can find a way into the post season. 

    Why? Is what I said wrong?

     

    Is it common for quarterbacks to really improve their play after two years as a starter?

     

    Asking for a friend....

     

    there I pointed out a recent example

  7. Kroft needs to go...lazy route running and not showing anything that deems his salary.

     

    Smith gets penalties or blown up too much to justify this veteran presence type player, send him packing please

     

    Knox good young player needs to still work on concentration.  The drops he has had is because he is trying to run prior to caching the ball head turns a bit to early.  Catch the ball then let your beast mode hit.

     

    Sweeney not much to go with

     

    Groom meh move on

     

    Will definitely need to bring in somebody or draft.  I'm going to figure the Bills keep Kroft an somehow spin it as the injury really hampered his progress this year and maybe it's the right move  not sure I would want to draft too high of a pick in the position considering other spots I want hit in the draft besides TE.

    A little off topic but I thought the final play of the game to brown was terrible. I don't know if that play was going to brown no matter what, but Allen had zero pressure on that pass. They could've done something a little more creative there 

    Re watch that play and watch Beasley come open and curling up ...I think he cores if  the ball is delivered the other WR closer to the ez would block his guy

    Jackson threw 3 TD passes against the Bills top rated pass offense, including a beautiful 61-yard bomb to Haden Hurst.   It seems to me that that creates a new "book" on Jackson:  if you stop Jackson as a runner, he can still beat you with his arm.

    Well it want a bomb it was a fifteen yard pass blown coverages assignment.  The book is still there you make him throw outside the hash marks and not to the middle.   
     

    Nice way to over paint that play

  10. three TD’s yeah we contained him too bad it was a diff story when they got down inside the ten.  He is pretty tough to defend down there

    His “bad game” still gives his team a chance to win. Allen’s bad game makes it almost impossible.

    That’s funny thought the Bills had a chance to win yesterday even w a bad Josh game

    ive been harping on the same thing regarding Allen.  He rarely give his WRs a chance to run under the deep pass.  They are too flat.  Therefore his line drive frozen ropes have to be perfect and that’s a very low %.   He needs to watch a lot of Russell Wilson and Drew Brees film. I don’t get why our QB coach is not showing him the benefits of passing trajectory 

    They had to be flat today due to the wind
