Scott7975 Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 Josh Allen also currently has the longest completed pass in the air this year at 63.9 yards. He is third in yards after the sticks. 2 minutes ago, dubs said: Do hail mary’s count in that? Why wouldn't they? Its still just a pass that travels in the air.

Without that pass, it’s about a 16.5/pass average. Just pointing it out. Edited November 26, 2018 by dubs

Allen was good today. Gotta love the energy he brings to this team as well. It's like night and day. Yep... against (what was supposed to be) a ferocious pass defense, too

I mean, you would have to go through every game and see if another QB threw a hail mary. Really a hail mary is just a word for a long pass that was coined long ago for toss it and pray. Rodgers has won quite a few games from them.

Just saying that it’s somewhat misleading given the low number of attempts and the amount of air yards on a prayer at the end of a half. But it’s still pretty awesome, regardless of its its 18+ or ~16.

True enough and if you look at the passing chart, he only threw two or three passes beyond 20 yards despite some people saying he only throws downfield.

Yeah we have no Tyreek Hill, but we also cant assume you just go get one in the draft, he is a special athlete. They need some talent at WR no matter what. And finally a Watkins I wish McCoy was a Hunt. He's lost a step and dances way too. much. I'm not sure Shady gets better next year. It's time to find a featured back that can run and catch.
Nick the Greek Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 He only threw 19 times. Not a lot. One of his passes was a 75 yard bomb. This is why his average is so funky. Math is fun.
The Frankish Reich Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 5 hours ago, whatdrought said: This is play calling as well. For whatever reason, we do not run short routes. I don't mind it in games where it works, but that has really hurt us when the line has failed to hold up. I seem to remember an awful lot of short routes with Mr. Peterman.... ... seriously though: 1. We have WRs out there who haven't played a whole lot, or a whole lot with each other: Foster, McKenzie, Deonte Thompson - all new to the Bills or to the active roster. Tough to run the complex crossing routes/picks, etc., but nobody needs to "learn" a fly route 2. Clay wasn't out there, and he ran a lot of those short routes. I would expect things to settle in in the normal NFL QB range once McD settles on his WR/TE rotation.

MJS Posted November 26, 2018 Posted November 26, 2018 I'm sure the NFL loves this. Allen is a modern NFL man. I'm sure they want as many down the field passes as possible, because they are exciting. If it were me I'd have Josh Allen work exclusively on screen and check down passes in the off season. If he gets those down he'll be 10 times more effective. 1

I think Jones and Foster can be effective underneath/slot midlevel guys (provided they get stronger physically in terms of separation after contact & holding off DB with body positioning for catch) combined w/ a Hill or Cooks type burner...would be a great combo for a guy like Allen. Ideally we find a Kittle in the mid rounds of the draft. Thinking a guy like Caleb Wilson from UCLA if he declares.
