RoyBatty is alive

I try to be optimistic and use all the commonly known Josh Allen accuracy excuses (rookie, terrible wrs, terible O Line, dropped balls etc) but the reality is going back to high school at every level J Allen has had accuracy issues. So it comes down to one thing, can he learn.be coaches up. Can you improve on accuracy, some "experts" say you can with better footwork/mechanics, others insist you can only improve very slightly. We will see what will happen with J Allen.

Thanks for posting a rather depressing article. There really isnt anything shocking to it. Lets hope he can improve as he matures, kid seems to be intelligent enough and is not making as many outright boneheaded throws, that in itself is a huge improvement. He plays less hero ball which is a big positive. One thing not mentioned is the lack of his receivers "bailing him out" on bad throws. I wonder how PFF ranks some of the Odell Beckham completions that are actually inaccurate throws. J Allen does deserve more credit for his running ability, after all he is the Bills leading rushed, LOL.

Couldnt agree more. Actually, this game means a lot lot more to the Pats than the Bills. Maybe this is their in-season Super Bowl. They all know the narrative everyone is talking about, the PAts haven't lost three in a row since 2002. If the Pats lose tomorrow, at home double-digit favorite, it will be a total embarrassment. Not only that, if they lose and Miami wins the next two NE has a must win final game to get in the playoffs. Brady and especially Gronk look old and tired, no Gordon this a very winnable game no doubt. I am excited as heck to see what Belichek throws at Allen. I think the Pats have no respect for or WRS/TE, let their dbs cover them one on one, contest every single catch, be very physical/never give up on the play, start holding from the outset see what the refs call on PI. Jam Foster at the LOS to slow him down, release the jammer to blitz/spy Allen...i can see a lot of safety/cb blitzes see what Allen"s peripheral vision is like, make him think about one more thing. I think the PAts want to beat us by 30 points, badly, get back their swagger, limited soft zone, make our receivers beat their DBs. A lot of single high safety, that will give them more bodies to defend the run. ANd the Pats are going to run right at our two rookie LBs, as well as a lot of throws to White see if they can defend it.

Thats the spirit! Dont waste your time even watching, better yet bet all the money you have on the money line the Pats will win.

That was great, thanks for posting. J Allen is a great fit for Buffalo.

For the first time since Brady stared his run I think the Bills have a real shot of beating them in Mass while brady is playing for something.

I like the first pick and as you point out We need a guard and center badly, gotta pick at least one

Brady only appears on the list when in fact he is NOT hurt at all. And your point about violating league rules is an excellent one.

So what are the PAts going to do, move up in the draft and get their top rated QB this year for Brady's replacement? What do you think the odds are Brady is back next year, and for that matter how long does Belichek have?

Well that is true, Belichek drafted for the run, he knows tommie is near the end, apparently Kraft/Brady forced the Garrappolo move so Belichek decided to go for the run, maybe even vindictively hurt Brady's career ending. Belciehk let go LT Nate Solder in the prime of his carerr and drafts a RB rd #1

God I hate this metric, team X wins 90% of the time when they run for over x number of yards....duh. There is a cause and effect relationship. If you are winning you run more, if you are behind you pas more.

When the Bills traded up i thought, wow, they have balls and are going for Mack, i was thrilled, for about 20 seconds. Mack Manhandled Ohio State, it was pretty obvious he was something special.

It depends on game time situations. If you are the Bills and Foxboro and b some miracle can win the game with a 2 pter, you do it. Dominant teams and home teams should go for the tie, weak and away teams shouldnt.

Rochesterfan explained it well

Yes and what is your point? I stand by it, Says nothing about Allen not being able to eventualy be a franchise QB.

You cant follow what i am saying and you make this inn accurate assumptions. The discussion was how to contain Allen, this week for the PAts, not if Allen would be a future franchise QB, just what he is now. And when did I ever say i wasnt looking forward to this game, I very much am.

My God if you analyzed every QB like that they would all be franchise QBs, NFL is a game of inches, you either get it done or you dont. And to quote you, "Allen had a couple he got away with, but let's chalk that up to his inexperience. " Doesnt matter why, results matter, he isnt going to be that much more experienced a week later. I stand by my point 13 points versus the Pats in Foxboro. odds of us winning that are 1%. I think the much maligned reporter in this thread is correct, keep J Allen in the pocket to win.

We scored 13 points, 13, he was 50% completion and had a few passes that could have been intercepted. If he does the same versus the Pats no way we win. Plus The fact the Lions missed 4 points of reasonable kick points.

That is an incredibly dominant position Belichek is putting that female official in, he wouldn't do that to a male ref , what an incredibly arrogant move, as if he is talking down/lecturing her

Pretty good analysis, especially on Josh Rosen, i can see the David Carr analogy and him being ruined by the Cardinals. His mental toughness and emotional stability were somewhat of a pre-existing issue. On Allen, I would say that he might be the most naturally gifted athlete to every play the position, arguably the strongest arm to ever play. His running ability, at least for the scheme he is in is undeniable and record breaking. He effectively had three 100 yard plus games in a row. Allen is a great leader, willing to work hard, he not only can but i think he should be something special. Give him so receivers that get separation and make circus catches routinely instead of dropping balls and watch how much more "accurate" he gets. His ceiling is as high as any QB i can recall. He "star" WR is a rookie UDFA that we cut once this year, his TE is no longer any good and his O Line is abysmall.

This is incredibly disturbing to me

Good point. I recall once when the Bills played the Jets on Thursday, jets all Green Bulls all red, it was absolutely hideous to watch. Almost as bad as that red turf on for Eastern Washington.

So some numbskull fan will go ahead and buy a $90 red jersey to complete the set

I remember that place, i thought it was a steak house, was that on Big Tree Road?

I agree, ban his ass!
