I dont foresee any big passing games from allen until we upgrade our wr core and o line..contrast the time mayfield had on his dropbacks vs the bengals to what allen had vs the jags.

in stature he reminds me of big ben size and everything..but ive always thought his play style was more like a young john elway when he first came in the league that or cam newton ..hes def more similar to cam then roethlisberger imo

the 40 yard dash has alot to do with technique that's why..josh allens technique during the combine was really really poor.. He definitely isn't a 4.7 40 guy based on what weve seen from his game speed hes noticeably faster then wentz who timed similar to him in the 40.

I mean Im not a fan of hackett's play calling but I kinda feel sorry for the guy..you have a completely inconsistent qb..no weapons on offence other than fournette ..their top Wrs from last year are gone ..how bortles goes from torching New England through the air to the worst QB in NFL is baffling.

thats fair Josh definitely missed a few throws due to inaccuracy and im sure once the all 22 comes out well see he left a few plays on the field..but highly encouraging nonetheless the biggest difference for me today was that he was just ripping it..in the houston game prior to the injury he was double clutching throws and hesitant to pull the trigger..he just needs to clean up and hell be just fine

bang on so far

The run d looks atrocious ..If McDermott can't get the defensive side of the ball to play well then why is he here..we signed star to eat up space yet were getting gashed our safeties can't tackle or linebackers and lineman getting manhandled

Jalen Ramsay mouth gets him again

Josh Allen is a different player. So much more confident what a dime

Bills or any NFL team and it wouldn't be close..Bama's o line or any in college has no chance to block an NFL defensive line this is grown men vs college kids..and college success is no guarantee of success against NFL players and technique and schemes...so many busts were college superstars.the bills would have Tua looking worse than kirk cousins he would be sacked and NFL record amount .

Show improvement in processing what he's seeing..show improved anticipation and ball placement..show improved pocket presence and patience

we could slow down the rams to an extent as in keep them under 30 pts...the chiefs aroudn that...no chance with new orleans..we have no ability to even slow down brees..it would look like the colts game just worse

The fact the coaching staff thought it was a good idea for a rookie to throw to wrs who dont get separation is hilarious to me. Mahomes literally always has a wr open on a route..tyreek hill always has seperation..kelce vs a linebacker..etc..rams always have bob woods open all the time.. kupp before injured.just like he was in buffalo we just had no qb to utilize his talents..

Cousins isn't a top 5 qb but those don't come to free agency barring unforeseen circumstances...the vikings felt they were competent qb play away from championship contention..they thought the eagles game last year was an aberration..unfortunately their defence has regressed and their o line is atrocious which is a recipe for disaster with an immobile qb. I dont think they made a mistake his contract is in line with what you pay a good qb these days..obv goff and wentz contracts will supersede the dollar amount

I will say this..I was really impressed with his mechanics and the throw to Zay in the end zone that was the best tight window throw all year. Nonetheless we may have found our long term backup that's a positive

has to be Allen the franchise has too much invested in him to not start him if he was a healthy..a situation that could have been avoided if they brought in competent qbs in training camp like bridgewater so allen could have the redshirt year he needed

His arm is ridiculous yes..just needs to harness it and learn he doesn't have to throw lasers on every pass .

There's alot of NFL scouts ..GM's front office execs..who are completely stuck in their ways and haven't adapted and the media parrot alot of it. It's like my favorite draft line I hear every year about how a qb might fail because they've never been under center ignoring how many teams literally spend nearly 80% of their snaps in shotgun. There this stigma with air raid spread qbs from the 90s when they failed because they tried to pigeon hole them into standard west coasts timing offences . Now you have coaches adapting and incorporating the concepts these qbs were comfortable with in college like bill O'Brien and Andy Reid .

Precisely. If you can collapse the pocket and get pressure up the middle it masks whatever deficiencies you have in your coverage..the Broncos were at their most dominant when they had malik Jackson collapsing the interior and Miller coming from the outside. Pressure is the difference between Pettine/shwartz as bills d coordinator vs rex..Gilmore didn't get any worse he was just exposed by having to cover forever .

Interesting read..but I don't think the premise of the article is completely correct..it's not that coordinators are using coverages from 10-15 years ago it's many other factors besides archaic play calling . It's all the rules the NFL has instituted that help increase offence and coaches are limited in what they can install defensively depending on their personnel. On offence a team has ample time to make adjustments because they decide when they snap the ball the defence can only react when you have teams coming out in spread formations ..using rpo's and motioning players all over there are very little a team can do to adjust unless they're a veteran seasoned team that has a ton of continuity. .rex had a ton of checks built into his defence for various plays and all it did was contribute to more errors..but it worked when he has continuity with players versed in his system for years in Baltimore and ny..ultimately in today's NFL it's all about pressure doesn't matter how exotic your coverages are if you aren't pressuring the qb..we've seen that first hand this year with the defence giving up 40 pts on days we fail to produce pressure and completely shutting down the Vikes and Houston. Two effective offenses. The worst the Pats have looked in the Brady era in the post season Has been against high pressure defences that collapse the pocket ..giants and Broncos . Wade Phillips was running similar stuff 10 years ago in San Diego.

Great head coaches have their fingerprints all over the team..you can still have a defensive background and be a great coach..what separates caroll and belichick from some other defensive coaches is that even tho they have a background in defence they are still very involved in the offensive aspect of their teams heavily and have input in the game plan and actively involve themselves in every phase..then you have coaches who are pretty much hands off and let the coordinators do the grunt which doesnt work if your coordinators dont perform see jason garett mcdermott and jeff fisher

i dont think hell get cut regardless..mcdermott is trying to sell that hell show continual improvement he thinks hes an nfl player

Because there was a ton of problems behind the scenes and also the fact he was hired as a defensive Mastermind and the defence was quite poor ironically it was the offence that carried him .

Dabolls offence obviously is rooted in the pats system..but it's definitely his own spin on their variant of the e.p . We don't seem to run most of their usual plays which personnel has alot to do with. I think in year 2 well see the playbook open up more because there's alot of plays daboll hasn't had a chance to run due to lack of talent
