We have really nobody helping him besides foster who lost a perfectly placed bomb in the sun. Croom fumbles on a critical drive, thomas drops a td, i mean come on. We never win a 50/50 ball. He probably should have thrown for over 300 yesterday Allen had his worst game since coming back IMO. He was inaccurate way too often, he made some really bad decisions and he missed too many reads. His stats were helped by the garbage time QB drive. ESPN has him ranked second last in Total QBR this week with a 17 overall. Only Kessler is behind him. He was dead last in Unadjusted QBR.

row_33 Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 The Jets and Fish and Lions are total crap compared to the Pats for prep and adjustments, none of them were remotely ready for Allen chaotic runs for his life. 1 minute ago, BarleyNY said: The network showed a stat on Belichick vs rookie QBs.

John from Riverside Posted December 25, 2018 Author Posted December 25, 2018 2 hours ago, Straight Hucklebuck said: Allen has not been very good this season. He is erratic, but sometimes brilliant in his play. It's averaging out to 175-200 yards passing per game, 1 TD, a low completion percentage, with turnovers. Frankly, isn't that exactly what he was at Wyoming? Now it goes beyond Allen of course, our running backs are slow. The Bills WRs are not real NFL players. They're largely undrafted training camp cuts being forced into starting. All that talk of Zay Jones taking meaningful steps forwards have stopped. I agree with Jeremy White, the Bills have dumpster dived on offense and this is the result. I don't see how fans can really measure "progress" with Allen or this offense. Are the Bills really getting more competitive week in and week out? When they win it's tight and low scoring, when they lose the offense can't muster more than 14-17 points. I guess it doesn't look like the Chargers game or Ravens game, but that largely went away after McDermott took control of the defense. The Dolphins stink. Allen threw 40 times against New England. Let's see if he can put up 300 yards and 2 TDs. That's the beginning of the bar. I get visions of pass catchers catching the td passes they have flat dropped that alone will look like improvement from josh allen

No need to lose our minds over a rookie QB being made to look like a rookie QB by the greatest defensive cheating mind in the game. Bad day at the office and a learning experience. Fixed 1

Allen is a rookie on a bad offense (the same people who picked him built this offense). So he gets some slack. But to pretend like other QBs won’t make plays with this ground is just silly. Minus Moss, Brady made stars out of scrubs. People used to talk about how terrible the Steelers and Seahawks oline were but Big Ben and Wilson still made plays and won. Mahomes is missing his 2nd receiver, pro bowl rb, and still makes plays. Hell, Nick Mullen’s plays with crap and is a better passer. Allen does some great things. But the excuses are so old. Hopefully, we upgrade the oline and get Julio and AJ Green so we can stop with the excuse making. Merry Christams! Missing Hunt and Watkins. Basically their 3rd and 4th weapons in that offence behind Hill and Kelce. To show the difference of how big of a difference the chiefs weapons are from the bills, think of it this way. Benjamin can barely get on the field for the Chiefs. And for the Bills he was their "number 1" receiver... And that's even WITH Watkins being out of the lineup. And this is not even talking about the differences between the offensive lines and Andy Reid vs Daboll for offensive schemes. Would I take Mahomes over Allen? Absolutely. But the supporting casts are night and day for these two young QBS. Edited December 25, 2018 by BillsFan130 3
JMF2006 Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 8 hours ago, C.Biscuit97 said: Yeah, but they completely commit to their franchise qb and got an innovative offensive coach. We are going to keep the OC of the 31st ranked offense for continuity. Pretty hard to implement your scheme with no running game. A running game and one Hopkins type receiver and Ertz type TE and watch us roll up the W's.
Buffalo Ballin Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 (edited) Hell yeah, Josh Allen is part of the reason why we lost the game. 20 - 41 completions. Dude, if Tom Brady/Russell Wilson/Cam Newton completed 20/41 completions in a game and lost that game, I would be criticizing them, too. Even when we get better receivers and RB, Josh Allen will not hit the accuracy level of Russell Wilson and Tom Brady. Josh didn't show this at Wyoming AND he's not showing that right now. He's a rookie. No kidding. Duh. But most of you guys anointed Josh Allen as the next Jim Kelly, Marino, and Elway. That's sad. You guys praise him like that then he will get criticized. No problem. On Josh Allen's best days (which I haven't seen yet), that's really Jim Kelly's bad games. And I have given Josh Allen his props, but I know he's not the next Jim Kelly. Baker Mayfield and Sam Darnold are way better right now than Josh Allen. Edited December 25, 2018 by Buffalo Ballin

I’m amazed at the lack of adjustments. Maybe they decide more run versus pass, or more blitzing, or something simple like that, but I think most of the time the adjustments are not as significant as people would like them to be.
formerlyofCtown Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 13 hours ago, Thriftygamer83 said: The guys had one job to catch the ball. Josh and Daboll found the weaknesses. And, we were let down by immature players in receiver roles who have given up or found excuses not to take hits or put themselves out there. If I were Foster secondaries know if they hit me hard enough I’ll find a way to say I lost the ball instead of taking the hit. A reason why he was on the practice squad. Lots of the defensive call ups have helped and made impacts. Foster being a “nice find” is realistically a trade value flip. Along with Croom and Zay flip them for picks or teams that have a sucker in the front office they are there. Yup and then we have to get another WR and 1 and 2 TE. We need another WR and TE already. Croom is a viable #2 TE both are young and still developing. They are going no where. Zay actually had a decent game just not where I would like to see his level of play at next year.
