This is ANOTHER statement game for the Bills. Primetime slot with national audience watching against a top team in this league. For a regular season game it doesn't get much better than this.

I really believe JA needs to take a page out of the captain checkdown— Alex Smith’s—playbook. Dump off passes to RB’s and TE’s. He needs to get the ball out fast. Dink and dunk it. 
 

That is how Brady neutralized the Steelers for years, and how Alex Smith was able to move the ball last week. 

 

The encouraging thing about last week was we saw a number of plays like that from Josh against the 49ers 

This is cut out of Chris Simms unbuttoned so the quality is poor, but just look at the number of completed passes behind or at the LOS - I count 8 - or within ~5 yds - 12 of 15 or something like that.  Those are those quick fast dink-n-dunks.  Allen was taking those.  That's huge.  That's a huge step.

I'm going to say that's part of why Cole had such a big night

True

 

Dawson Knox had a big night for him - first 100% catch night, 4 receptions on 4 targets and only for 27 yds.  He had 4 receptions on 6 targets  once last season but for much more yards.  Devin Singletary, 3 receptions on 4 targets for 20 yds.  Zach Moss 1 for 1, 5 yds. 

 

Learning to be patient.  Learning to take what the D gives him.  Learning to dink n dunk.

Right, basically just dissected wherever the hole was in the zone and went there

Not just that, but taking the throw to Motor or Knox in the flats.  I'm the one who's been so frustrated with Allen's unwillingness to do that over the past years that I've factitiously suggested equipping them with 10 ft blaze orange fiberglass snowpoles to help Josh spot them.

exactly. I can think of two occasions where he threw to Motor in the flat and he made a guy miss and got at least 5 yards. Take it Josh.

I think those all reds should do the trick

Yep....obviously 2nd and 4 or 5 is always better for the offense than 2nd and 10.

 

The time to take chances is actually in those 2nd and 3 or 4 situations!

Isn't this a funny "problem" to have? How any years did we all complain about the Trent Edwards and others who only checked down?!

I forget who said it, but one of us facetiously suggested that if Trent Edwards and Josh Allen were to meet, it would be like matter and anti-matter colliding

Drew Brees rookie season 55.6% completion to 65.5% in year 4 (his "NFL comeback player of the year" award year) would be close to the first (10% rise)

Then his 4th year with NO up to 70.6% for 15% rise from his rookie year. 

 

But it took more than 3 years.

Who has the best chance to beat the Chiefs in the NFL?

 

 

 

As much as I watch and talk about this team, these stats blow me away.  If that is so true, why do I sweat through every game day shirt?

It takes awhile to come to grips with the fact these aren’t our same old Bills. I’m still working through it too!
