would be great to see Hyde return this week. Still in protocol and limited today...cant tell if thats a good or bad sign. 

 

I highly doubt we get Mitch back so im happy to see Ford at least back limited today.

I just presented stats provided by someone else. You can disagree with the conclusions, but not the data.

 

I think QLBills is responding to your statement "Without re-reading it, I believe it did say that Allen is too locked in on his primary, which is usually Diggs."

"It" being Matt Fairburn's Athletic article

 

I did not see that conclusion in the piece you linked, much less statistics backing it up.  Here is the quote in question:

8. In the last four games, Allen is 18-for-46 for 293 yards, one touchdown and four interceptions on passes that travel at least 10 yards in the air. That’s good for a passer rating of 32.2, worst in the league on those passes in that time frame. Expand that to passes 15 yards or more in the air, and Allen’s passer rating is second worst, ahead of only Sam Darnold in the last four games. It’s not as if the Bills aren’t giving him chances. Only four quarterbacks have thrown the ball 10 or more yards downfield more than Allen has in the last four weeks. He also had his top four receivers healthy on Sunday. His downfield passing game has disappeared, and if Allen can’t get it back, this offense will hover around the league average. Allen was one of the best downfield passers in football through the first month of the season. Defenses have adjusted to take it away, but Allen needs to find an answer.

 

There's nothing in there about forcing balls to Diggs, much less data to support that, though that arguably has happened a handful of times.

Good sign that he’s back to practice. He didn’t practice at all last week. Trending the right direction to be cleared for Sunday

You dont believe hard numbers that say thers merit to the argument? That makes sense. Ok... Also if its not new to you, dont act oblivious to the topic. It doesnt make you look super smart, just difficult.

 

.... I'm not gonna pretend to understand why it seems to affect fine tuned pro's or say that i agree that it should or shouldnt. But there is data to show that it is a factor. Do i think its overblown? Yes. Is there numbers that say it can be a factor though? Yes.

Probably mostly effected by playing at what would be 11 am to them. Probably not much different but they are use to routine its still a little different.

Although TBH I was impressed by Dean Marlowe.

 

 

 

Good sign that Ford is at least practicing.  Concerning that John Brown and Matt Milano are not practicing, although hopefully it's precautionary to let the soreness wear off more and assess where they are.

I’m telling you... The Bills need to establish the run and take short throws to sustain long drives.  Take some serious time off the clock.  You can’t really stop Seattle’s offense but you if you can move the ball, you can limit possessions and keep them off the field.   If you can get a few stops on a few of those possessions you can win.

 

The Bills will need to score points and won’t be able to win 24-21.  But I feel they can limit scoring opportunities

That can also be a detriment. Long drives take more plays. More plays is more opportunities for mistakes. It takes more perfect ball to have long drives. A team is also behind the sticks more often.

The Bills are #1 in the league on 3rd down conversions so I’m not worried about that really vs this D

Drops, miscues, penalties happen too.

Assuming Hyde being limited is still his concussion...if so, must be a bad one (the hit upon re-watching was pretty big).  Hope he's healthy and ready for Sunday, we'll need him back there.

Apparently the average "time out" for concussion is 10 days.  So he's just a bit over average duration at this point (11 days) and apparently in Stage 4.  If he's OK tomorrow am, reexamination and Go Baby!
