Think I'm Sure. You Sure?

[Beck Water]

For people who like it, Josh is at his highest ANY/A (7.42) since 2020 (7.82)
NY/A same trend

 

Passer rating again, highest of his career (98.2) since 2020 (107.2).  TD % up, INT % down, Y/A about the same, sack % a bit lower.

Yards per game are down about 30 ypg from the previous 3 years, so there's that. 

 

I perceive the run game by "backs not named Josh Allen" as compensating for the lower passing ypg but this is a place where when I looked at the numbers, they didn't say what I thought they'd say:

 

Bills Rush Game

Year	A/G	Rank	Team YPG	Rank	Allen YPG
20	26	18	107.7	20	26.3
21	27	13	129.9	6	44.9
22	27	20	139.5	7	47.7
23	30	5	130.1	7	30.8
24	28	7	119.2	15	25.4

 

You can all make of those numbers what you want.  League average rush Y/G is typically in the 11x - 115, 113, 119 (unless Henry is going nuts, then he single handedly shifts the average up to 120s) 

My take is that the Bills improved from a below-average run game to an above-average run game by riding Josh Allen's legs.  This year, Brady is persisting in trying to build a solid rush game without Josh.  We're below average in Y/A at 4.3, but Brady will keep plugging away at the run and not shift it too much to Josh Allen (and to be fair, 4.3 Y/A moves the chains)

Allen just does not need to take the constant pounding of frequent runs. Let him do his thing when it’s time.  Josh is a better QB this year as he is more in control. Yes, he can put the cape on but he does not need to do it so much under Brady.  This is a great thing.

[Sojourner]

Not sure who’s sure of being surely unsure. 
 

Help.

Too bad Brady will almost assuredly be a Head Coach somewhere next year as the "hot candidate" along with Ben Johnson for all the openings there will be.

Hope he looks hard before leaping, maybe talk to Dabs.  One 1/2  years as an OC with a QB like Josh?  He’d be better served to do what Ben J did last year.

You would think but it's hard to pass up the big payday and turn down your dream job as an NFL head coach that he has been working so hard towards for so long.

 

You never know when that opportunity will come around again and it's hard to just put it on hold, but depending on what team it is, he should definitely consider it...

[Freddie's Dead]

I'm sure of two things. Keep Barbara Hershey away from Josh, and Stef Diggs can go ***** himself.

As long as he has Allen as his QB1 his HC opportunity window will be open,

I still remember his brother tweeting that he had to get out of Buffalo.

 

I kind of smile at how Dallas is doing when I think about that.

 

[mushypeaches]

I judge a lot of this year's success on the fact that James Cook has 10 rushing touchdowns

 

We haven't had a RB who can succeed inside the 20 like that in all of Josh's career

 

That takes a huge amount of pressure off Josh in the red zone, and opens up the whole playbook whereas in previous years it was all on Josh

Last few weeks, it's definitely looked like Stroud is the one who needs those elite receivers.... Media won't talk about that though.
