How many yards does he have when the Bills are up 3 scores?
I’ll make it easy. Most of his yards have come late in blowouts. Nothing to impressive so far.
This post questions my football knowledge you have sir. The hardest time TO run is end of games and now he has proven it twice that he is good enough to take the game home... He is playing the traditional 3 down roll with getting rests and breaks for 3rd/4th and short. And I think we had a Third and short where Cook was able to take that home as well.
If his best run was mid 4th quarter on, then expect better runs in the future in the first 3 quarters.
Cook is the 3rd best runner statically right now...
Come on man... your better than this.

It continues to be the same problem that has been plaguing them for three years, and that problem is Spencer Brown.
I give them credit for the solid job they have done hiding him so far, but the fact that they continue to have to go out of their way to protect him every week is absolutely handicapping what should be a much more efficient offense. When you have to commit skill players to blocking roles that often, it's like they're playing 10 on 11 out there.
If you wonder why Kincaid and Knox aren't having big impacts check and see how long it takes them to actually get into their routes when they have to spend extra time protecting Spencer Brown before they can leave the LOS.
If you wonder where Damien Harris and Latavius Murray are, look how often they are being asked to cover Spencer Brown. Hell, the Bills are actually using Murray on the LOS just to engage DE's while Brown is still getting set up in pass pro.
I really like Spencer Brown and am glad he is on the roster. You tell him to bury the guy in front of him on a 34 dive, and that's what he'll usually do. But he simply does not have the feet to be a complete OT in the modern NFL and is never going to. The necessity for the Bills to take skill players and put them on their heels to protect Brown instead of using them to attack defenses is making it impossible for them to maximize their offensive talent. And as long as they insist on putting a Tackle out there who can't play Tackle in this league, it's going to continue to be a problem all year.
I'm not a GM and have no idea what the in-season solution could be, or if there is even one available. The time to address the issue was the offseason and they didn't do enough solve the problem. I'm not saying it is going to sink their season down the road, but it is certainly going to make things much harder then they needed to be on offense for the rest of this year.
the first thing you have to ask yourself is, how many RT's in this league can handle some of the better DE's in tis league alone.. I would argue that number is around 10. McGovern's pff is actually worse than Brown right now. Do you actually wonder why Josh has to roll out right so often and the pressure that puts on a RT? Not knowing where the QB is behind you?
Then you have to ask, are they lining up wrong? Why not just put Knox next to Brown, Knox chips and takes a flat while Kincaid is where he should be in the slot, taking more routs up the middle? Why are they having Kincaid chipping when Kincaid should be the main rout runner?
I think some of our play design's stinks. You see Diggs catching a ball and another catcher 4 yards away.. Why? You have the whole field to use..
Then the next dude is going to be saying well.. We does any of this matter. We are one of the top scoring offenses in the league. The fact of it is.. when you reach the playoffs, your offense has to be running smooth. The good thing is we have time to fix it.. The bad thing is... I do not think Kincaid should be chipping on the line at all. Kincaid not being used right.
Bottom line? Yea we do not have the brightest star in Brown, but finding great RT's is not easy. Personally? you want to blame why Kincaid more specifically why he is chipping at the line all the time? You should ask yourself Why IS Kincaid at the line so much.. if knox needs a break... throw another blocking TE out there... Let Kincaid do his thing and not be blocking witch by the way, was supposed to be his short coming .

This was probably the best defensive performance I can remember from a Bills team, at least in terms of the stat sheet- sacks, interceptions, etc.
Sidenote: Why is the Tre White pick not a touchback? He dove and landed in the end zone and didn’t attempt to advance the ball. If a guy catches a pick on the 1-2 and his momentum takes him into the end zone they almost always call it a touchback.
Combined Sacks + Fumbles + INT splash plays? I cant remember another game better.

So. I have seen amazing defensive performances by this team in the past, but non so complete as this defense. Our MLB is an Asset not a hole. Tre Is back. It Kills me to say this but Poyer is the only liability on this defense. Being a Poyer fan, he continues to take awful angles at apposing WR/RB.
But lets get to this amazing beatdown video..

My personal point of view on this topic is that Josh Allen is inconsistently accurate. The Dude is a vet. He needs to start acting like one and last game I SAW MAJOR steps towards that goal.
I can also tell you based on All 22 from Jets game to now that the amount of deep routs went down, taking away the option to constantly throw deep.

You're very kind. I don't consider myself a heavyweight, and certainly not Transie either. Kick in any time, I enjoy your posts.
As to your points, what Transie said about Tyrod Taylor is totally relevant. He made a dumb mistake (that lasted YEARS for him), based on his misunderstaning that completion percentage means accuracy. He just simply would not hear that the reason Taylor had a high completion percentage was that he was throwing shorter more easily completed passes and that teams took a while to learn how to defense him and his completion percentage for his first half season was greatly raised by that.
It's pretty much the exact same mistake he has continued making over and over ever since.
He look at Allen's college stats and before the draft spent months telling us how awful Allen was going to be as a pro, finally saying he had no chance. Mostly because of completion percentage.
And I'm sorry, but the fact that Archie Manning played a long time ago does zero to refute his relevance as an example. You're absolutely right that the game has changed. But tell me, how has accuracy changed since Manning's day? Does it mean something different? Do they judge accuracy differently? Do they calculate completion percentage differently?
They do not. He is the classic example on this, a very accurate QB who played on an awful team with a crappy OL and poor receivers. His completion percentage suffered greatly as a result.
It's a perfectly good example, and still relevant. But there are plenty more. David Carr was also really accurate, but ended up with poor completion percentages for the same reason. Elway didn't have a good completion percentage. Favre's completion percentage was wildly unstable his whole career. Lamonica was one of the most accurate deep ball guys of all time. Bad completion percentage. Steve Young was accurate. Great completion percentage. Except when he was not in a great situation. Bad completion percentage in the first half of his career, and then a miraculous turnaround where he either became more accurate or found a good team and system to put up excellent completion percentages.
More, Allen himself is a great example. Awful completion percentage in college. Awful his first year in Buffalo. Still bad his second. Excellent his third. Below 20th best in his fourth and fifth years. Unless you think Allen was actually well below average at accuracy among starters the last couple of years, you have to understand that completion percentage just doesn't equal accuracy.
It just doesn't.
Agreed there's no real way of judging accuracy, certainly by stats.
Have a great Fins week.
Trans has what is called a philosophy. One you never agreed with. One that some here do agree with. I am "in between" on this. BUT. Have you ever been wrong on these boards? Do people constantly slander you? Drop the past buddy.. If you have to bring up past conversations, never was QB's and 40+ to make a point then you are lost.. Again.. In part I agree with you.
There are several types of posters on these boards.
1. The Risk taker. The person who is not afraid to give an opinion right, wrong or indifferent.
2. The Troll
3. The person that sits back and agrees or disagrees to posts
4. The person who feels they need to argue their points to the death (to the point where personal attacks fly)
5. The person that says a little but puts the thumb up or down.
Months ago @NewEra said it the best and it kind of changed me. If an opinion is going to annoy you so much where you have to lead to personal attacks/deep opinions that tick you off to no end or trolling... then its just best to block the guy for a while before making yourself say things you would regret.
@transplantbillsfan falls into category 1.
and
you both are Falling into category 4.
This is where I grab both of you by the ear and say.. ENOUGH ALREADY..

Highest completion percentage through 2 games of any QB in the NFL.
76.9%
You are sneaky good at what you do... You bring up great flicks of JA playing really well and at the same time knowing the title of this thread is going to bring up controversy. That is sneaky.. and you now your going to have Bulls on this board that are going to come at you... You new EXACTLY the whirlwind you were going to create the second you made this post lol.
On 9/22/2023 at 4:40 AM, Thurman#1 said:It's an incorrect argument. I'm not overstating it. Incorrect is incorrect.
One of my favorite examples of this is Archie Manning. He was known for being quite accurate. His completion percentage numbers were not especially good and showed a lot of variance as well. This is because there are a ton of factors that go into completion percentage far beyond accuracy.
I usually do not involve myself with the "heavyweights" on the board when they go back and forth. I usually just stick to reading and learning and silently evolving my own personal opinion on the matter but there are two things that are driving me nuts that you have done on this thread that I feel like I have to bring out.
1. Brining up what @transplantbillsfan said about Tyrod Taylor. Who gives a crap what he said about Tyrod Taylor 6-7 years ago? It does not matter if his way of thinking things out differs/same from Tyrod. We not talking about Tyrod. And then you bring up Archie Manning. I mean holy crap the game has changed so much since he played? Can we keep this just about Josh Allen? lol?
2. Just because someone looks at things a different way, does not make them right or wrong or make it Right or Wrong. Its a point of view. Accuracy is about point of view because there is no stat called accuracy (I think you were the one that made that point and I agree)
To @transplantbillsfan and @Thurman#1
There is no right or no wrong when people post about things like Accuracy in the NFL.
To my point of view
There is no real way of judging accuracy in the NFL. Accuracy is not just about completion % Its killing me to bring up this name in these forums buuuuuuut... Tom Brady had one of the better fade throws in football. Josh Allen uses his arm strength to get the ball where it needs to go. Does that make one player more accurate then another? No.. its just that players do things in different ways.
I think in some ways you are both right and both wrong.... but I highly respect the heck out of the both of you. Now I will Sit back... Enjoy my popcorn while the heavyweights get back at it.
you may continue lol.

The first play of the 2nd qtr, Spillane had a clear run at cook in the backfield and smacked him dead on. Cook bounced off of him and got 4 yards that he shouldn’t have had…..IF he didn’t have sufficient contract balance. That’s what breaking tackles is 90% of the time.
Spillane didn’t really attempt to wrap him up….and if he did, cook probably would’ve been tackled….just as the majority of the nfl RBs would’ve been.
He’s not going to be a grinder that consistently moves the pile because of his physical makeup….but his YPC tells us that’s he’s a legit starting RB that the opposition will have to start paying more attention to. Teams wanting to cover 2 shell us to death are going to have to deal with him and Kincaid.
100% agree

Ah so broken tackles only count if they are good tackles? Interesting. Wonder how many NFL running backs are routinely breaking out of good tackles?
You know it is a very slippery slope as to what is considered a tackle attempt and what isnt. Maybe you could call that a tackle attempt. My point being is, Cook is not going to break out of really GOOD tackle attempts like many other HB's can. This is not a thing against Cook. Cook is a different player. and my main point was, There is a huge difference between yards after contact and a broken tackle.
A HB Runs into his own line and a DE has his hands on him a split second? is this a tackle attempt? or is this yards after contact?

You are completely removing his ability to take on contact. The reason you don’t get clean tackles on him because Cook keeps them on skates….that shouldn’t be held against him.no and I 100% agree with this. you are right.

(Video of him breaking a tackle on a 37-yard run.)
When I think of breaking tackles. I think of arms around or near the waist.. getting out of a secured foot lock for more yards.
The first real tackle attempt was a horrible one. he clipped the one leg and I don't know if I would categorize that as "breaking a tackle.
He was never touched at the LOS. and after the poor ankle tackle try he was never touched again till he got tackled.
there is one thing for sure though. as long as he has that speed and shiftiness in him.. he will be a special player.
I still think right now this is a pass first league and that is why HB's are suffering with low contracts... but things go in circles.. If Buffalo can sustain this kind of running game that IS NOT coming from JA? Then this offense will jump into a whole new level.

I'm guessing they just continued with their RB rotation.
Or maybe limiting wear and tear on the older more physical runners that they'll need down the road?
Or maybe rewarding Cook for responding to good coaching this week (Hey James, quit dicking around and get N/S)?
Whatever the case, it might provide some insight to how they view any pecking order (i.e. there is none)
1 hour ago, DJB said:I was more confused as to why Cook was in for our last drive. Isn’t this why we have Murray and Harris for?
The snaps Cook had, the better he got. My theory is that they simply wanted to give Cook more reps. It was a break out game for Cook at what better way to appreciate him is to keep him out there... Cooking. Doing what he loves to do.
7.2 yards a Carry. Right to the end of the game on 17 Caries. I mean, how many more break out runs would the dude of had if he had 25 caries?
You all know that nasty wind/rain wind/snow game will be right around the corner.

I think its funny how you guys think in one draft and 2 games, that Payton is to have everything fixed.
Now I ask you, Did you expect McD to have everything fixed by game 2 Tyrod Taylor?
Judge the man by his cover... but the book has yet to be written.
I am not saying we should have gotten him or not.. I am just saying it is just as stupid to suggest that he will not fix things...

A team is more dangerous with Balance than a team with just high passing yards.
I discussed this off season that I wanted to see closer to 60/40 in pass/Rush 37 Pass/ 35 rushing.. damn near 50/50 yes? I DARE to say this kind of balance makes one of the most dangerous teams in the NFL IF... we can keep this up. IF by end of season tis finishes at 70% pass 30% rush with our running back the best rusher? I will argue we will be the hardest to play against in the league. I got trampled on for saying this..
You want to play 2 deep zone against us? THANKYOU.. we will just rush it down your throat... You want to throw more in the box? Our WR's and TE's will say THANK YOU!
I also got argue that Passing the ball as much as we did to Diggs Shortens the field. I got slammed for this also. You throw to who is OPEN.. If you think Diggs is god and open every play then good for you. Today was the Gabe Davis show. Next week it might be the Dalton Kincaid Show (god I hope so) Good QB's take advantage of their best weapon... JA to Diggs.. Mahomes to Kelse.. But I will argue, look at how much Mahomes is struggling this year even with Kelse back.
You throw to the easy open player.... Who ever that is, gets the best stats of the day... That makes you more dangerous. We put the NFL on notice... they got lots of tape on us to try and figure us out...
Doom and gloom to... Holy ****** this team is doing things.. Welcome to Sports Message Boards.

Defensive holdings that should of gotten called.
Tripping.
Late Hits
JA's head bounce off the turf on one of them.
JA's Head bounce off a helmet on another
Lack of Penalties called on the other side of the ball.
Leaves me to just one question..
Who got paid after that Monday night game.
Most of the top end QB's low on total yards...
We know Vegas got paid.
