Receiver separation is still BAD

[Roundybout]

 

 

Like really bad. I’m glad Coleman can get jump balls because yikes. 
 

I still feel that we’re missing a true burner, someone for Josh to just chuck it and let him run underneath it.

missing a burner and/or elite route runner to get separation

Cooper is still a top level route runner IMO

I mean unless it's an average of the week or a couple weeks, then that's kind of how averages work.

Mack running so many routes has to drag us to the left a bit, right?

Lamar is less accurate than Allen even though his receivers are on the other extreme end of the separation scale. In other words, his receivers are relatively wide open and he's STILL less accurate than Allen, whose receivers get less separation than any in the league. 

 

And they think Lamar should be the MVP over Allen?

It's through Week 8 so it's an amalgamation of all the season's data.

So Justin Fields is more accurate than Josh Allen??? 🤔

Still working to mute out the Ravens & Texans passing performance.  Hopefully that improves.

But the deep ball is easily Allen’s worst ability as a thrower.

Will Levis is more accurate than Josh Allen. I mean...

Coleman is leading AJ Brown does that mean anything?  Coleman is at 2.2 and Pickens is at 2.4.  It's a pretty ridiculous stat to hang your hat on.  Shakir is the 3rd best WR on the list.  It's a talking point but as far as team building you are not going to have a roster of guys who all win by running away from guys.

This is one of those cherry-pucked stats.  Yes, it would be nice have more separation, but Bills are 4th in passer rating.

 

That's fine me and much better than 4th in separation and last in passer rating.  

 

Last season everyone complained about YAC.  Cherry-picked stats don't mean a lot.

We all know it’s been bad which is why the traded for Cooper.  You’re already seeing more open receivers.  I’d be surprised if this stayed consistent by the end of the season

[Generic_Bills_Fan]

If that’s an average through 8 weeks the post Amari stuff is still pretty small weighting wise 

[Matt_In_NH]

Bills are screwed.   And let’s do a founded to lift the sky off the op

[SoonerBillsFan]

Dear God, some fans just need something to complain about.

[Simon]

I do not believe for a second that whoever made this mess had the slightest clue what the hell they were looking at.

 

You have two different QB's listed for both Carolina and Indianapolis.

In both cases they are somehow on opposite ends of the separation spectrum?

With the same receivers?

 

Bo Nix, Justin Fields and Will Levis are all more accurate than Josh Allen? 

 

The entire thing is patently ridiculous.

Shakir 4.3 ................. Cooper 2.7

 

Not that we didn't need another man beater outside with some legit experience but Shakir is our best separation guy by a mile.  If we were going by this stat alone Cooper is essentially tied with Mack Hollins in average separation.  Again it's not a meaningful stat.

How it is possible to have negative separation?
