Allen has to deal with pressure up the middle on 50% of his snaps. There is no way to maneuver the pocket when that happens. Our oline is as bad as they come. I think Mayfield would probably struggle more than Allen if you put him on our team. Allen’s running ability is the only reason this team can move the ball.

I like Mayfield a lot and he is the better QB right now. He also started 5 years in college so he should be. They are both going to be good in 3 years but we won’t know who will be better until that time. I think Allen is going to make a huge jump between year 1 and year 2. Their skill positions aren’t great but their oline is way better than ours.

Metcalf is the only WR I would consider in the top 10. This is a deep WR class, there will be some good value in round 2. My dream offseason would be adding a guard and center in free agency. Then drafting an OT in round 1. Then hopefully we can hit on a WR in round 2 and a RB in round 3. We have lots of free agent money, so hopefully we can add a WR2 a decent TE and some defensive depth.

I disagree with a lot of those takes.

That usually happens when we play the Pats. I’m interested to see how Allen plays that game.

We will just have to disagree, The stats are the stats. They need to improve. I know they will next year. Allen had at least six drops yesterday, 3 that cost the Bills on third downs. Allen was 6 of 9 on third down throws, with three drops. Let that sink in for a minute. When was the last time the Bills had a QB that could convert third downs? Probably Kelly. 6 drops and 3 throw away we’re the reason for 9 of his incompletions. Im not saying there were no flaws. Both INTs were bad and probably should have been throw aways. He had three throws which he threw in the dirt. Those plays need to improve next year. This oline is one of the worst units in Bills history. They allowed pressure on 50% of drop backs yesterday and Josh seemed to be hit on most of his completions. His best WR is a WR4 on every other team in the league and only has backup quality TEs. He basically carried the offence on his back, this is still the same group that had one of the worst DVOAs in league history, they just have a good QB now. I doubt there is a QB in the league that could have good stats with this group.

If you care about completion percentage than you will probably never be happy with Allen. I doubt he ever gets above 62% in a season. He averages the highest air yards per attempt in the league. He will have some years where he leads the league in explosive throws. He is very similar to Cam Newton. There is a way to win a championship with that type of QB.

Watch the games, six drops yesterday. He was pressured on 50% of his dropbacks which is brutal. The Bills have one of the worst olines in team history for run blocking and pass protection. His best WR is an undrafted rookie who should be a WR4. He carved the Jets up whenever he had time. Both Allen and Darnold shows flashes of franchise QB ability yesterday. Allen looks like he has a chance to be a top 5 QB where Darnold ceiling is probably more in the 10-15 range.

Josh Allen is basically the entire offence right now. He is carrying the team on his back. I don’t agree with that, he has improved a ton over his college tape. Actually he didn’t take a single hit running yesterday. What got him injured is a pathetic oline. He got pressured on 50% of pass plays and hit at least double digit times, even though he was getting it out on time. You can only stand in there and take so many shots during a game. Allen was basically running for his life, if he didn’t he probably wouldn’t have made it through the game.

I saw a stat they allowed a pressure on 50% of drop backs yesterday. They are also terrible at run blocking. Good thing we we have an athletic QB or we wouldn’t be able to move the ball.

Our oline got destroyed today. We did not win in the trenches. Also, Wallace looked good.

I think this is because we are fielding one of the worst olines in Buffalo Bills history. He has been getting the ball out on time when he has protection. True but also unfair.

This is a great post, This is going to be a future rivalry. Both QBs had impressive rookie performances. Both teams should be excited about the offseason. The Jets oline is much better than the Bills. We had 0 QB hits and sacks today. Allen was getting hit on almost every throw today. Me too, I have seen lots of franchise QB qualities.

Meh losing because of special teams isn’t the worst thing. Allen made some great plays out there today. Hopefully we can continue to get him reps and then add some NFL talent in the offseason. We are not that far off, they will revamp the offence in the offseason and this team will be ready to roll.

At lot of that is pressure up the middle and him having to run around and make a play. He looks great when the oline hold up, which is rare.

Darnold has so much more time than Allen

Nice to have a staff that can develop players.

This oline is so bad.

Teams have not been able to stop this. Interested to see how Bellichek takes that away when we play the Pats.

He is running so well, I don’t think teams can play man against us.

I think Allen will win your game for you this week. Zay is a great start as long as the other team doesn’t have a lockdown corner. He will be a great start against the Jets.

Im fine with that, he doesn’t have the drive to be great anymore. Just an average NFL DT at this point.

I’m liking the direction of the rebuild. I expect them to have an amazing offseason and hopefully we see that pay off and beat the Pats next year.

It would be nice if he plays well the next 4 games then we can move CB2 down the list of needs. Also it is nice to see a staff actually develop players including PS guys. It’s nice to see players move from PS to the active roster and have success. Interested to see how Love plays.

I picked him up to start my playoff game. Kid is going to ball this week.
