Big Turk Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Allen's stats are actually better on the road this year than they are at home...especially in terms of Yards/game...on the road he averages 322 yards versus 244 at home. Rating is higher, sacks are less, higher completion percentage, same # of TD's in 1 fewer game...

Conlan58 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Depends on the opponent... Dome? Possibly since there are no fans. Otherwise, no I don't think so... 1
IgotBILLStopay Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Every QB will play better on average outside Bills Stadium than in Bills Stadium (due to the weather). You do bring up a good question and my answer is "It Depends" If the opposing QB is going to be more adversely affected by Buffalo weather than Allen, play the game at Bills Stadium. If it is the opposite, playing on the road may be better for us. In other words, it is a relative, not absolute thing 4
Beast Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 How is the opposing QB's stats at Bills Stadium? I'll take as many home games as I can get.
loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 (edited) I would be curious to look up the Bills tenure with MCD at coach the past few years as I feel just on recollection in my mind we have been a better road team overall. But To have he right of being AFC East Champs, the number 2 seed possibly and rewarded with 2 games at home. I think the team would rather be on home turf. Too bad the fans can't be apart. The stadium would be rocking.. Edited December 17, 2020 by loveorhatembillsfan4life

When your sample is 13 games played with different teams of different skill levels, I think this belongs in that "correlation is not causation" bin. I think a lot of the difference in stats can be explained by the strategic decision to pound the rock against NE and the Chargers (both happening to be home games) and the 7 sack flurry in the 2nd half against Seattle. We want a home playoff game because the same factors that make our stadium hard for us, make it hard for other QB as well and presumably knowing the field and how to move on it and having more comfortable, familiar training and lodging surroundings will help. 5

The stadium would be rocking.. Allen is 14-7 at home versus 11-9 on the road. However, even his career splits are better on the road, not just this year. He averages over 40 yards/game more on the road and has a higher rating and completion percentage with fewer INTs in 50 more attempts. This may be a great thing however...a lot of QBs wilt on the road...Allen plays BETTER on the road, and it isn't like he is bad at home or anything...

Rocky Landing Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Forget these stats, and name a team where you would rather the Bills play in their stadium. 1
dorquemada Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Its really tricky. This O is like the old Rams 'greatest show on turf' and seem to play best in pristine situations. Its hard to come to terms with because we've always wished for terrible weather, and home games. Right now, I'd rather see them play in good conditions, wherever, versus in the slop. Power running teams are what give us trouble, and will be more so in those conditions. 1
RangerDave Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 I lean more toward getting a team win, rather than a good stat sheet for the QB. I believe the Bills have a better chance of winning at home versus on the road. To me, that's the only thing that matters. 2
DaBillsFanSince1973 Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 6-1 home 4-2 road ? road or home, chances of winning are no greater at home or away. especially in 2020 where there has been no 12th man. 1

Those stats are pretty similar. Kinda splitting hairs. 100.9 vs 105.6 ratings prove that Josh is just a very good QB no matter what.
MPL Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Forget home and road playoff games. Put the playoffs in a bubble in Arizona. Allen has been lights out in two games in Glendale this year. But the way things are shaping up, looks like playoff road games in KC and Pitt. will be the only options, unless Pitt. keeps sliding or we fall apart in the last three weeks.
eball Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 Until you show me how our opponents' QBs fare in OP vs. at home in those same games, and compare the relative strength of schedule home and away, these numbers mean little.
Rc2catch Posted December 17, 2020 Posted December 17, 2020 This year I don’t think it matters. If buffalo could have fans I’d want the home game just so you Yankees up north could go 😂😂 1
