First Time I have been concerned with Josh Allen
Mat68 replied to PlayoffsPlease's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Has he improved? I think he has. Accuracy was his "issue". He has shown to be accurate as anyone inside 30 yards. Imo, you can tell that's what he spent the better part of the off season concentrating on. In terms of the deep ball the % are what they are. I think it's like a shooter in a funk. Keep shooting and they will fall. Same thing here. I understand that there are bench marks that people want Allen to pass. I think there will be times where they will be challenged by tougher/more talented teams and Allen will be given an opportunity to step up. With the Defense and Hc Allen isnt going to be asked or coached to carry the team often to put up gaudy stats. In spots, in the second half of games, when they had to have it, hes delivered. That's about all you can ask from a second year Qb imo. -
Mid rd pick? Why not? Even if he just plays 3rd down for and doesnt resign I wouldn't hate it.

I think Singletary could be in store for a massive game.

Updated - RayRay Cut by the Panthers *Re-signed by Bills
Mat68 replied to Virgil's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
If anything happens to McKenzie, Robert's, or Beasley hes the guy. His shot is at wr or the role McKenzie currently has. -
It's the best Bill's team in 20 years. Why throw a wet blanket on it? I think playoffs and more are in play this year. There is not a game on the schedule that if they play well they do not win. It's a great thing. I'm going to my first game in probably 5 years this season. They are a real football team. They are a real contender.

New Wawrow article on the DUKE
Mat68 replied to Hapless Bills Fan's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
He adds an extra dimension to the passing attack. Physical over the middle. Out muscle a guy outside. In the redzone wide body to shield off defender, and high point over favorable matchups. In preseason I didnt think he earned a roster spot. I think in the offense Zay jones didnt add anything to the offense that buffalo doesnt already have a guy do better. Outside Brown and Fosters speed allow for more seperation and better deep ball tracking. Inside Beasley is a beast and on money downs hes the slot. -
I think the narrative that Kaepernick was will to play any spot isnt accurate. He didnt get a work out because he wanted starter money. Let's all not forget he opted out of the final year of his contract with San Fran. No one wants the drama. Its Tebow mania x10.

I'm just happy he was traded to the NFC. I wanted Buffalo to get splashy. Two 1s and 4th seems rich to me. Imo Peters wouldn't be a fit so that does affect me either.

The way the offense and team is playing they are not changing. He is not him now but Brady back in the day was in the same situation. Game manager but winning games. Bledsoe came back boom on the bench. That was a massive deal at the time. MVP caliber seasons. Bledsoe lead the franchise to the Super Bowl 4 years prior. Very similar parallels. Cam has good football in him. How much? Idk. Allen would have to play very bad to go to Cam.

Bills must prepare to face Rosen AND Fitz
Mat68 replied to StHustle's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I do not see this as a trap game. Buffalo hasnt played a great game on offense or defense yet. I have faith in the coaching staff. McDermott has shown to have his teams play with effort. I don't see where a matchup favors Miami. Basically, Buffalo will have to sleep walk for this to be a game. -
Would you be satisfied with Stafford's career for Josh?
Mat68 replied to PUNT750's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
No. He is Qb purgatory. Good numbers, Tds, big plays. No real defining win. Seems he always just falls short. -
Bills must prepare to face Rosen AND Fitz
Mat68 replied to StHustle's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
It's not like they are both playing well and it will go by game flow. I think I read somewhere that they changed QBs in 4 of 5 games. I applaud the turn a negative of terrible Qb in 5 games to now the difficulty of scheming for 2 poor Qbs. -
No one in the league is unbeatable. Their is not an offense in the Buffalo cant slow done. Buffalo will go as far as Allen takes them. If he gets hot throwing deep look out. Or he avoids turnovers look out. I will take some turnovers with 50 plus plays. Without that I wont.

Unlike previous Buffalo Bill's fast starts the ball really hasnt bounced their way. The stars didnt align for Buffalo to be 4-1. Sure NYJ and NYG have poor records. The Jets are a different team with Darnold and Barkley makes the Giants dangerous. The offense has not put together a complete game yet. Heck, maybe not even a half. They fall into laulls and Allen tries to do too much to pull them out of it. I remember the Fitzmagic start. Every 50/50 ball he lobbed it fell into Bill's arms. Gailey schemed a nifty role for Spiller. Every, tipped pass or dropped ball land into the Bill's arms on defense. The league caught onto Fitz, Gaileys offense, and the paper thin run d. Buffalos season turned into a pumpkin by Halloween. This week possibly facing Fitz it's made me compare. Buffalo is a for real team in a league of flawed teams. The defense is the tops in the league. They just haven't gotten the tipped balls to land in their hands yet. Allen hits a deep ball or 2 now the Bill's have an offense that can drive it 75 yards in 9 plays or 1. With his arm and the speed of Brown, Foster or McKenzie its inevitable. That deep ball returns Sunday. Buffalo more than covers and the defense scores more points than Miamis offense.

I think he really opens up the offense. Imo Knox has separated from the other TEs. Kroft is an all around pretty good Te. The formations with Kroft and Knox would put pressure on defensive personnel.

Zac Taylor on A.J. Green: 'We are not trading that guy'
Mat68 replied to HOUSE's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, if I know anything about coach speak, Greens definitely being traded by the deadline. I guess Cincinnati is sick of being low balled. -
Depending on the outcome of tomorrows game...AJ Green
Mat68 replied to Hebert19's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Might as well add Odell to the list now. -
Week 7 Against Miami - Allen's First 300 Yard Game
Mat68 replied to H2o's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Throw for 300 yards vs Philly or on Thanksgiving. Those games the defense could give up more than 20. Miami should be multiple 100 yard rusher performance. Gore and Singletary each. I'm curious to see what the offense looks like off the bye with the whole offense hopefully healthy for the first time all season. -
Status of AFC: Should Bills Go All In For 2019?
Mat68 replied to jwhit34's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
NE are one of the most aggressive franchises. AB, Corey Dillion, Talib, Revis, Moss, the list goes on and on. They will make a move or look to add talent at the expense of next years 1st or 2nd if they are high enough quality. It's all make believe. The Cap goes up every year, the draft is a crap shoot. Look at the future but win today. If you are a player or 2 away go find those 1 or 2 players now. Tomorrow may not come. -
Just continue to gel and gain experience together. The offense needs to take a practice this week and work on the scramble so everyone can get on the same page. Deep you comback, short look for space backside cross the formation than cut it deep. With Allen's arm they need a guy to catch a defense scrambled and go deep. Steelers with a young Big Ben had organized madness. Buffalos offense could get some cheap chunk plays if they have an understanding of what to do, and what's expected in those situations. Maybe avoid the interception that took place sunday.

I have 0 care what a player makes. Having "bargain" production doesn't matter when the Franchise is sitting on 100 mil in cap space. Sure signing a bunch of mid level players to blotted contracts doesnt work. Adding a player to the offense or defense during the bye week to make a push "This" year has more good than bad outcomes. At a time when Buffalo was on tilt, trading for Benjamin gave the team a jolt and legitimate mis match outside that propelled a playoff berth. Long term it didnt pan out. Short term? They made the playoffs, and were also terrible catch no catch call from beating NE in Ne after Halloween. The schedule this year is shaping up for the first 10 plus win team since the 90's. I feel Buffalo should make a move now. Maybe catch a team sleeping on them, and the projected pick wont be as good as they think? Best believe the teams Buffalo has to get past are looking to do the same thing.
