CodeMonkey Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 On 9/22/2019 at 9:12 PM, Sammy Watkins' Rib said: Correct. We rather take the intentional grounding over the INT. That INT probably happened because of the earlier IG call. The real culprit is Allen trying to make plays out of nothing when plays are blown up. Instead of going down he back pedals 10-15 yards to try to make a play. Unless we can coach that out of him, the end result of those plays will be a throw away at best with the occasional miracle completion for a first down. Expand Yeah that clearly seems to be the root cause of nearly all of his mistakes.

Big C Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Pass protection has been bad, but Allen needs to play smarter ball. Take off or throw it away, etc. How does a guy with his cannon not get the ball to the line of scrimmage btw? Just learn from the mistakes.

You think 3-0 against 0-9 teams is a sign of greatness it seems,. I do not. They don't need to beat NE, nor did I say they needed to. But playing against a quality opponent will show what they are more than beating bottom feeders. You don't agree, that's fine. Expand 1. The Jets team we played was 100 times better than the team they have fielded the last two weeks. They are playing a third string QB. And haven't had CJ Mosley. 2. Bills haven't played Miami the only team in the league playing at a historically bad level. Patriots have. 3. Bengals are not as bad as their 0-3 record. They took Seattle down to the wire just as they did us.

Expand You aren’t wrong in calling the teams we’ve beaten “bottom feeders”, but referring to the Pats as simply “a quality opponent” underscores them immensely. They are the defending champions, look like the best team in the league, and are led by arguably the greatest QB and the greatest HC of all-time.

Which is why that game will be a good barometer for the Bills.
Westside Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 The O-line looked bad after Feliciano left with an injury. It was a huge difference. I heard he calls the oline plays. That might have something to do with Allen getting pressured so much in the second half. 1

Even the intentional grounding call was driven by good decision-making and would go uncalled nine times out of ten. Expand That gets called 10 out of 10 times. There wasn't anyone in the area and he didn't even get it close to the line of scimmage. He keeps rolling into pressure after he either holds it too long or just abadons a clean pocket. I'm glad he can break free from tackles, but that won't always be the case. Very mixed game imo. 1

Look, I love the guy, and no one was celebrating harder than me over here at the result, but he can be a gamer and have some things we’d like to see cleaned up. It’s all part of the process, but he is doing a really good job overall. Been a fun ride so far for a change. 2

You think the Patriots are Gods. Perhaps you are on the wrong message board? Expand The Bills struggled to find any type of consistency against at least 2 of the worst defenses in football right now. Their half time adjustments have been very poor as well. Those are things that can not happen against the Pats. Both teams are 3-0 against bad opponents, but only one team has years of success to look to.

Particularly in a collision sport where one injury can completely change a game. Gods ... no. A particularly strong team at the moment, yes. Edited September 22, 2019 by CodeMonkey

He could have thrown it away earlier but it was simply a case of the defender was on him and stopped the ball from going farther. It had nothing to do with a receiver in the area on that particular play. 1
RiotAct Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 it’s nice to have a team that you get the feeling of “we got this” when they walk out down by a few points in the 4th quarter, again. 1
