It doesn't matter........the damage accumulates. No QB has taken the kind of punishment Allen has to this point of his career and remained a franchise level QB for even 9 seasons.......he's in year 5 now..........so you might want to re-evaluate your "maybe 30-31" he's gotta' think about adjusting his game estimate. Unfortunately the Dolphins pushed the right button with the Bills yesterday. Allen was not razor sharp throwing the ball like he was against the also aggressive Rams pass rush.....so the Bills lack of explosive players on offense just lead to tons of small plays despite the Dolphins sending extra rushers and playing light in the secondary ALL DAY. The Bills ran over 90 plays........that is a MASSIVE amount of plays.........that's not just tryna-catch-up-in-garbage-time-passing numbers it takes 40 minutes of possession to do that. You'd think teams that do that would win the vast majority of games played but according to NFL now episode today, teams that have ran that many plays are just 32-31 in those games all time. Because big plays matter. It's great that they can put up a 10+ play drives practically every time they get the ball but big plays change games. They haven't surrounded Allen with an ideal balance of either pass blocking talent or YAC guys. So it's going to be a very physical 20 game season for Allen if he is going to win a SB. Overall- Agreed. He’s also smarter reading defenses than Cam and can thrive as a pocket passer. Playing with 3 freshman O linemen in and sun fatigue will hinder our options in any game just remember that too Quote

That kind of desperate blitzing is almost unheard of........any good QB carves up the blitz........and Allen beat the blitz time and again but they didn't have the YAC athletes to cash those blank checks. So it was taking 12-20 plays to get down the field. Allen got smacked around but good in that game. Hopefully the hand injury sustained in all that frantic small-ball doesn't hinder his accuracy going forward. Quote

It looked better in the first 2 weeks let’s see if it’s atleast improved over a larger sample size. Again with Cook, Dirty and Crowder added it should be as compared to last season. Hopefully we don’t see a post hurricane weather bowl this weekend Vs Baltimore like some are reporting or it could be more of that approach their defense will attempt. Quote
