Lenigmusx Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 I just rewatched the 1989 Bills - Browns playoff game. This was the moment the K-Gun became devastating. In loss the team grew immensely. These moments are always incremental. These last 3 games Allen needs to exhibit a couple aha moments every week and next year the offense will be dangerous. Last week I believe the screen game started to become a factor against an underrated Jets defense last week. If Allen can utilize Shady and Murphy the way Kelly used Thurman and Harmon he could get to the 300 yd mark and open both the deep game and the run game. I think this is the key to the next phase of his development. He may in fact be able to use his scrambling ability to get Shady some space in the screen game. Prediction: 25-39 312 yds 3Tds 1 int 55 yds rushing 1 Td Bills win 31-27 Shady 8 carries for 31 yds 6 receptions for 56 yds 1 Td Shady's out hmmm.. I don't think Ivory can serve the same role in the screen game.

klos63 Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Detroit has a pretty solid defense. Our line still stinks. It would be quite an accomplishment if he did.
CincyBillsFan Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 With McCoy AND Ivory out I wouldn't be expecting big things from Allen today. It's football 101: * No running game beyond Allen's scrambles means the Lions can get away with 7 in the box. Can you say Allen throwing 2 - 3 INT's into the face of a secondary sitting back for the pass? * With Shady & Ivory out do people think that screen passes and short throws to the RB's will be productive? I don't. * How about blitz pickup with Murphy & Ford? Don't yell at Allen if he gets a bit antsy in the pocket today. I suspect he'll be running for his life. * And how effective will Allen's running be, particularly in the red zone, with no conventional running game? I hope I'm wrong but man from just a common sense football perspective I see Allen struggling big time today. 1
HOUSE Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Just count the drops, if you count these as catches....no problem

Murphy and Ford will hit the holes and get whatever yards they can, not try to dance their way to a big gain. 1

But in the passing game (protection & receiving) they would seem to be a big step down from Shady & Ivory.

PlayoffsPlease Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 Allen can cover 300 yards in as few as 4 passes (might not five it its windy). The question is can Bills receivers catch 300 yards of passes. Recent history tells us no. 1
RyanC883 Posted December 16, 2018 Posted December 16, 2018 If Zay doesn't drop passes, I can see Foster and Zay reaching around 100 yards each. Can Ford catch it out of the backfield. I have a feeling he sees more time than Murphy at RB.
