  1. Midway through 2020 season will too be the accurate time to kind of give up on Allen as well if he doesn't improve from his current play.

     

    Our 2020 schedule is so difficult, if Allen is below average we won't win more than 4-5 games.  We'll be in line to draft his replacement

     

    We're actually in a good position being married to Allen as our starter through the 2020 season, however which way it pans out.

    I think he tried that in thee NE game and did not work. He was not able to lead the WR to the spot.  Instead he under threw repeatedly and was picked off.  Probably the "Ghosts" of NE is haunting him now and we should not "air" it  ?

     

    Not true at all but ok.

     

    He's been throwing the deep ball relatively the same way his entire career.  But I guess a game 3 weeks ago has altered everything for him lmao.

     

    The underthrow to Zay was because Ford whiffed his block and he tried to throw it off his backfoot all arm because zay was open

     

    the pick by McCourty was the same play that almost was to Foster in the Bengals game that got broken up.  He didn't see the weakside safety at all and he rolled over to pick off the deep post...which is his best deep ball route he throws.  He's 0/14 career on go/fly routes, with 3/14 on target (at least two were drops by Foster (Vikings 2018 and 2nd Patriots game 2018))

  3. I think what's kind of happening is Allen is waiting too long to throw it, and he's able to do so because his arm allows it.  He's waiting for the WR to be already past the defender to launch it, instead he needs to trust his receivers' speed and soon as he's even, he's leavin'.  I don't have the statistics but it's safe to surmise that the completion percentage of long balls that go 40-50 air yards is vastly better than long balls that traveling 50-60 yards in the air.  Allen makes it harder for himself

  4. if Zay plays well in Oakland, good for him. He simply wasn't here and there was no indication he was ever going to. He simply did not work out on this Bills team. Zay is not a good outside receiver, and with the addition of Beasley you could almost see the writing on the wall for Zay.

    Now the Bills hope Duke continues to perform, and fixes our lack of a Z flanker receiver. Duke is the exact type of mold of WR we want there, and he's a great and willing run blocker on the strong side of the formation. LFG Duke, we are all rooting for you, to solve our lack of WR there so we don't necessarily have to draft one high.

    I'm sure McDermott would love to have the WR position solved before the draft so he can draft a DE in round 1 lol

    He also is the reason we win a lot of games - 4 fourth quarter comeback and 5 game winning drives 

     

     

    Would you give Superman credit for saving Lois Lane tied to the train tracks before the train ran her over, if Superman was who tied Lois Lane to the train tracks in the first place?

     

    That's the point he's getting at.  Allen's poor decisions and timely turnovers have kept teams in games where we wouldn't have needed to have a 4th quarter comeback

    I think he was prob close to playing in this game...and took a calculated gamble they could win without him

     

    Coming off the bye Devin should be 100 percent....which will be huge

     

    I feel like the wet rainy conditions played a factor too.

     

    Singletary and Taron Johnson will be back for Miami, let's beat the bricks off them so our offense is confident heading into a critical Eagles game

    You don't feel like Spain is good? Or have you confirmed that? Spain and Dawkins are not our issue.

     

    In fact, Morse had a rouggghhh day on Sunday. Spain has been very consistent and i'm extremely pleased with him. Feliciano is better than Ford at guard and right now, Nsekhe is better than him at tackle. He's a rookie coming from a spread offense. He needs time. I don't think he should be on the field but I don't think I'm going to argue the value of him being on the field vs him getting "mental reps."

     

    I think Spain is solid in run blocking but his pass protection i've seen him get completely owned on several occasions right off the snap.  I'm not a tape breaking down guru just going off of some of the things that have stood out to me during actually watching the game.  

     

    It's interesting going back to the OBD tape of when Beane was pumped that Panthers jumped up and took Greg Little instead of Ford.  Greg Little is coming off of his first full game at LT, after splitting time at LT the game previously, and he's been excellent.  PFF (not the end-all-be-all in player grading, I know) has Little at an 86.4 in pass protection.  Cody Ford's pass pro grade? 45.8. 

     

    What exactly was Beane seeing on tape that he was so excited Ford fell to him (he even said they were considering trading back into the late first to get him) that is not translating to the NFL?  His feet are so slow he's just getting beat to the QB by an everyday speed rush on the edge.  He's been decent run blocking, I'm actually very happy with this unit's run blocking as a whole this year, which is why I think Ford, if you're wanting to get him game reps, you get him the reps at RG.  Do the timeshare with Feliciano if you must, but Ford at RT is a major liability for Allen

  8. Not sure why, but Bills seem to like to wait until the bye week to make changes to the o-line structure.

     

    Would love to see Ford slide to RG and Feliciano either go into a backup role or move to LG.  Would prefer LG cause I don't feel like Spain is good either.  Spain is more of a liability in pass protection

     

    The problem is, I don't think Nsekhe is much better than Ford

    Oh I agree that Feliciano has been better no disputing that.

     

    Id actually like to see Feliciano at LG , Cody at RG and Spain on the bench. 

     

    Me too but unfortunately for some players switching from the right side of the line to the left isn't as easy as it is in the Madden 20 depth chart page.  Spain is a turnstile once every few pass plays, he's definitely the least consistent starting OL.  I'm glad he's on a 1 year deal I hope we look to improve the LG position next year in FA or the draft
