transplantbillsfan Posted October 21, 2019 Author Posted October 21, 2019 Anyone wondering Allen's 4th quarter stats for the whole season: 22/32 (68.8%) 312 yards (9.8 YPA) 4TDs 0 INTs 139.6 QB Rating 4 3

I would love to see those numbers as his stat line for a single game. Just a good and proper 60 minute ass kicking. 3

No, having to perform 4th qtr. comebacks in virtually every game, even against the worst team in football, is not only not a complete game, it is not sustainable.

Just curious......does it feel good???? Honest question. I am enjoying the season so far. It is a good team led by a young QB who has tremendously improved over the last year, and has so much more room for growth. It is an exciting time. What doesn't really feel that enjoyable anymore is coming onto this board after a win. It feels like every thread gets taken over by the same small group of posters who feel the need to tell us over and over and over how awful Josh Allen is (far beyond legitimate criticism), and that the rest of us are some how too blinded by homerism or just too stupid to get it - until the negativity, in the end, makes it somehow feel like the team lost instead of won. The second best record in the conference at almost the half-way point of the season; a young nucleus that makes their share of mistakes, but are, growing, getting better, learning how to win - and exceeding the expectations of what most people thought they would be as a team this year; a real sense of competence and stability in the coaching staff and FO; and real optimism that this is a team on the rise. It just seems to get lost, or trampled over, in so many of these threads... Edited October 21, 2019 by billsfan1959 1 2 1
eball Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I'm glad to see Josh's TD passes now equal his INTs (7/7). He needs to get that number to at least 2-to-1 by the end of the season. 3

The Offense moves the ball and is extremely efficient in the red zone and 4th Quarter. That has a lot to do with Allen. If we were top 3rd in points and bottom 3rd in yardage, one would surmise that eventually points will move closer towards the bottom of the league yardage #’s, correct? Why can’t we believe the same can happen in reverse? Young QB, 4 new OL, 3 new RB, 3 new TE and 3 new WR... I think there’s reason to believe we have a lot of room for improvement. Does Allen need to do better?.. YUP. Two games in a row with better decision making following that Patriots debacle... this needs to continue. He needs to hit on the deep throws from time to time. Every. Single. Game. he misses at least one dude, wide open, for a TD. That has to change. If/When it does.... look out. Edited October 21, 2019 by SCBills 1 2

Hell, it’s so rare, how could we not? But if the music stops and these meh performances start turning into losses, that’s the concern. We need to see improvement at the prized position. We need to see a 2019 QB throw for 300 yards. This means, that he’s hitting 1-2 deep balls per game and THOSE haven’t been remotely close! The ability to get the 300 opens up the Running game- and not just HIM. Excellent @ 5-1. But, better performances are necessary, if you aren’t just rolling the stiffs! Less stiffs in the back half!

This fascination with 300 yard games as a benchmark for success as a QB is one of the most superficial analyses out there of what success as a QB means 3. This is a team that won 6 games last year, with a completely new offense, a young QB in his 2nd year, still lacking all of the pieces they are looking for (as they are still building), and a team that most people picked to not even make the playoffs this year. They need better performances to get to the next level? Shocking. 4. And, oh, by the way, almost every good team (if not all) have the majority of their wins against bad teams. Can we please stop with the qualifications. 3
ALF Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I was relieved that the turnovers were corrected. Surprised how motivated Miami was.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 62.4% is 24th in the NFL. There is more to a game that this endlessly changing stat. as a team the # is actually 62.0 % Look how bad the Falcons are ... They have a Comp % of 71.5 Ya see where I'm going here? Some stats are just irrelevant 1
Doc Posted October 21, 2019 Posted October 21, 2019 I'd rather Josh be better at the short and medium throws, like he is this year, than the long throws which are low opportunity/success plays. It's the reason why his completion rate is 10% higher than last year and he's top-10 in adjusted completion rate. But hopefully he gets the long ball back. 3

Can we please stop with the qualifications. I didn’t say that there wasn’t improvement. There has been... slow improvement. 4th. Q leadership is an immense plus! * However, game Mgt. throughout and cutting off stupid errors are critical. *It is not the 300 yards that is a fictional goal. That generally means, the QB did not have to complete +20 completions of an average 15 yards. ONLY the league Superstars can do that. But, they can also toss 1-2, highly accurate bombs for TDs, to set that up. * There are more stiffs in the NFL this year, than I can recall for one year. The Bills are fortunate to be playing many of them in a sked oddity. I’m not overlooking the Ws- as previous versions this Millenium were life and death to beat even these teams. * As you go on though, the team led by its QB must get better against the non stiff teams. Because, there are no more Losers left in the Playoffs. Virtually 100% have winning records, some yuuuge spreads between wins & losses. Know what the record was for the Bills pre McD & Beane against Playoff Teams? Horrendous! 1 in 5- 20%. And waaaay worse on the Road. I have confidence, but let’s see a game, where we can all say- hey, got the W and they freaking steamrolled those bums like the Contender they are!

He has really improved his short passing game, which is primarily responsible for his higher completion percentage and more consistent drive yaradge success - and his strength is the 20-25 yard range. That's 99.9% of the passing game for almost every QB (if not every QB). Would it be nice to hit some of those long passes? Of course. However, this fixation on the deep pass is getting a little silly. 2

I don't think it's silly, you want the opposing teams defense to at least respect that aspect, and come playoff time you might need that part of the passing game to actually work.
