Mr. WEO Posted April 27, 2020 Posted April 27, 2020 Why are so many taking "under" for JA TDs? This list Is kind of bogus: Allen had 29 TDs last year (O/U is only 30.5) Singletary had nearly 1000 yards last year (and hardly played), Diggs had 1100 last year and over 1000 the year before. They will all hit those numbers because they really aren't that tough to beat.

They will all hit those numbers because they really aren't that tough to beat. I expect Allen to not have as many rushing TD's this year due to having more options to pass the ball and not needing to scramble as much. I expect about 30 TD's total for him with only 4 or 5 of them rushing TD's, so just slightly under the 30.5. Singletary might be part of a committee. Moss might take a lot of snaps, but I still took the over. Diggs is in a new system, but yeah, I expect him to get more than 1000.

They will all hit those numbers because they really aren't that tough to beat. Because Josh had 7 more rushing TD’s than our RB’s each individually. I see his rushing TD’s dropping. Fair point about Singletary actually, I didn’t realize he had 200 yards recieving. I probably should have just done rushing total. Diggs well, we’ll see. We can revisit the topic next year and see what was what.

If he only has 25-26 passing TDs the Offense will have the same scoring difficulties. This team was top 8 in rushing yards, 18th in TDs.

You don't fail to see that, I think.... So you think Josh Allen needs to be better than Aaron Rodgers? I don't get it. The extra points will come from the running backs, special teams, and hopefully the defense (who didn't get many if any scores), and yeah, some from Josh Allen too. If we want to get to 23 points per game, which would make our team average, we only have to score 4 more points per game. Obviously we want to be better than that, but I don't expect our offense to be much better than average this year. So that's about 9 more TD's over the course of the season. Half from Josh to get him to about 30 and half from the running backs and other areas of the team. That's doable and that would make our team average scorers. Yeah, if we want our offense to be top 10 this year, something I don't know is super realistic, then Josh may have to account for more than 30 TD's. But top ten only means 24.5 points per game, so another 3.5 TD's over the season. 1 hour ago, GoBills808 said: Can’t see the over in wins w the under on Allen TDs personally Aaron Rodgers accounted for less than 30 TD's and his team got 13 wins. Jimmy G had 29 and his team went to the super bowl. Pat Mahomes had 28 total TD's and he WON the Superbowl. I really don't get it. If Allen gets more than 30 TD's he's in elite company.

I don’t think folks realize that big gaudy TD numbers are kinda down around the league these last few years. The Vikings had the 8th best offense in points scored and Cousins had 27 TD’s. The rest of his team had 18 on the ground. Which also means that Diggs having 6 TD’s, the same as John Brown, may not be a huge additive portion as well. In 2017, 30 TD’s would have been at the top of the NFL, 6th or better. 30 TD’s has been consistently top 12 to top 8 in total TD’s across the season. Josh doesn’t have to have 40 TD’s for us to have a good offense, although it would certainly help. What matters more more is the number of red zone trips and sustained drives. We need to get close more. The TD’s and points will come from there. 1

I don't think he's at the point yet where he can be a top 5 QB, and that's what more than 30 TD's would make him. But the real reason is fans unconsciously (or perhaps consciously) value a passing TD higher than a rushing TD. Since Josh scores a lot of rushing TD's they discount them. They'd rather he pass for 30 TD's and no rushing than 25 passing and 5 rushing. They expect more production than is reasonable, I think.

It’s more share of team TDs. Aaron Jones scored 16 TDs, Singletary and Gore combined for 4. Only Allen scores TDs for the Bills. If he doesn’t score 30+ we don’t win games. You realize the amount of close games we played this year when he scored 29 TDs? 10 one score games.
