CorkScrewHill Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Info from PFF .. but it is pretty much yes/ no data so not skewed. The Bills lead the league over the past 2 years with QB sneak plays on 3 and 1 and 4th and 1 situations. The Bills in those situations have gone with the QB sneaK 48% of the time, Eagles are second at 32% and the 49ers are 3rd at 24%. More remarkably that has equated to 24 attempts with Josh making it 23 out of the 24 times. A great tool to keep the chains moving. https://www.pff.com/news/nfl-just-fall-forward-nfl-teams-qb-sneak-underutilized 7 1 3

Doc Brown Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Daboll doesn't care about your petty stats. Frank Gore gets the damn ball on 4th and 1 damn it. 16 1
BuffaloBillies Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 Many times those were LONG 1 yard(s), too... closer to 2 yards. 2 1
CBD Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 That's great, it's what they should be doing. It's almost unstoppable at the goalline with his ability to go "up and over." The one the Bills missed was Week 1 vs Jets? They also did a sneak on 3rd down, but was 3rd and 2 so not part of the stats included in the link.
Not at the table Karlos Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 I never understood why teams don’t use it more often. 1

RyanC883 Posted June 8, 2020 Posted June 8, 2020 (edited) as much as I love this, I'm hoping that Moss can take some of these 3rd and 1's from Allen this year.

The only thing that matters is completion percentage, or so I have been told. Expand Exactly. When Tom Brady retires and goes to the HoF, the first thing they will mention is his ability on the sneak. Not his laser accuracy, his command of the huddle, his numerous 4th Q and GWD where he finds the open man almost effortlessly. Not his record breaking season with Randy Moss. His QB sneaks. Brady probably never wins a Super Bowl in his career without them. 1 2

Expand I think it has to do with the risk of injury to QBs. It’s not a high risk percentage wise, but it could be catastrophic in the rare event it happens. Even having the QB pulled out for concussion evaluation would be an issue. But Allen is so physically imposing that it would be a mistake not to use sneaks. I’m happy that we employ it as much as we do, at least while Allen is young. 2

I think there are certain qb’s that have a real knack for it and it can be an almost unstoppable weapon. Brady is a perfect example. 1
