mannc Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 1 hour ago, CincyBillsFan said: Or to put a different spin on it who do you think was the better QB yesterday - Prescott or Allen? Prescott's passing stats were exponentially better then Allen's were in their games yesterday. Yet Dallas lost the game and trailed 22 - 7 in the 4th quarter. And the Cowboys rely in their offense yet Prescott could only manage one TD through 3 and a half quarters. IMO Allen was the better QB but not the better passer yesterday, Stats, particularly fr QB's, can be very misleading. With Josh Allen, I’ve come to believe you can just throw out the stats…to understand his value as a player you just have to watch the games…and that’s why he probably won’t be winning NFL MVP awards anytime soon, even though he should. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Saleh runs his defense and that’s it. I think it is all single high safety and cover 4. Josh feasts on that. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nineforty Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Logic said: One of the things that separates Allen from other QBs and makes him so special is that even when he's having a bad day throwing the ball (and I agree it wasn't as bad as it seemed, but 3 INTs is 3 INTs), he can still take over with his legs. "Oh, the passing game isn't humming? That's okay, I'll run for 82 yards and 2 scores." Special player. we rightfully talk about the weather negatively affecting this team. but rarely in the same breath is it mentioned what you specify, how much of a positive his legs are in bad weather. long term speaking, I think Josh Allen in bad weather is a positive for the bills, when comparing directly to most other QB's. I get that we are predicated on being able to throw the ball and we are at our best when we can do that. But to me, they are two separate questions/thoughts. 1. Bad weather does hurt our chances in the sense that we can't run our 'ideal' offense (although the Bills are doing their best to become Multiple) 2. Josh Allen is the quarterback I would say is built best for bad weather in the entire league, when factoring in his legs of course. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JGMcD2 Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 1 hour ago, Success said: They were pretty flukey picks, imo. On the 2nd, it looked like Beasley was pushed also - it probably should have been a flag. But it was good to see other players and units step up for the win. The only INT I was mad about was the first one. The 2nd and 3rd he really couldn't do all that much about IMO. It was infuriating watching the rest of the games yesterday and seeing numerous balls get tipped and just fall to the ground or go right into the WR hands. GB/Minnesota.... Rodgers' throw got tipped and the pass ended up being deflected right into Davante Adams hands in stride. It's just the way the ball bounces sometimes lol 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 3, 2022 Share Posted January 3, 2022 We won by 2 TDs, we ran well, the defense played well, we got the Ryan call, results were there........except I don't think anyone is being unreasonable at being blown away by the struggling passing game against the number 28 defense. Again, nobody is pissed about the win or disappointed in the win. This is a sustainability question going forward, can we win if that happens again to the passing attack against say NE in 2 weeks? I think some of us were shocked at what happened, it was more information about where we are . It was eye opening, like being just off the green with a sand wedge and shanking it. Could be an overreaction..yes, but...might not be and thus the concern. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They perform at a high level in good conditions. It’s definitely a concern when your first playoff game is at home in January. Hope for a day like last years Colts playoff game. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This would be a great question for Beane. Why did you a build a team that struggles in bad weather? Even the Super Bowl era teams could run it down other teams throats when they had too. A strong OL and HOF RB will allow you to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Buffalo can keep that kind of power running game going, it will solve a lot of problems. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think they may be running for the bus more on Sunday night in Buffalo then they were yesterday afternoon at home. They’ve played much better at home this year than on the road and the Bucs looked like they were sleepwalking, didn’t seem to put a lot into that game. Rookie Qb with a bad team hours from their off-season vs this bills D in OP and a team very motivated to win the division could be ugly. that's exactly right. the team that played the Bucs tough on Sunday isn't the team that will show up in Buffalo. bad teams that lose a heartbreaker at home are very unlikely to show up on the road the next week, especially in the last game of the season. the jets are already thinking about the beaches in Costa Rica or wherever. but obviously the bills can't think this way. we should respect the opponent and come prepared and amped up to win the division. i don't expect that will be a problem.

A bad weather day could level the playing field. Take nothing for granted. Forecast for Sunday (right now) calls for temps near freezing, 30% of rain or snow, and winds in the teens.
