Josh needs 13 more TD’s to keep the streak alive - Will he do it?

Only of #1 seed on the line I'd imagine 

[Dr.Sack]

The streak will continue. 8 passing, 4 rushing, 2 receiving. 

[Scott7975]

I voted yes, but the reality is probably not. He could be sitting in a few games. If he does get them it probably means two things... 1. we had a shot at the 1 seed through the end of the season. 2. The games were probably high scoring and close.

[LABILLBACKER]

Yes he'll hit 40. Last year Lamar won the mvp with 29 total tds. Josh already has 27.  And no I'm not concerned about @Malazan's concern about our concern.  It's all very disconcerting...

Two week layoff is too much, IMO

Bills PO spot settled after game 16, you want Allen playing game 17???

 

This some sort of Cobra Kai credo?

The more TD's he scores the higher our likelihood of winning out and possibly getting the #1 seed.  So, yes.  It matters in that context.

Man...If they are all through the air (They won't be) it gets him to 200 passing TDs for his career.

 

I am not being greedy, but it is honestly possible, in controlled conditions for the next two weeks, he gets 8.  

 

5 passing, 3 Rushing.

 

 

[Taro Nimbus]

He’ll probably have 5 alone vs Detroit.

Hope he does but I don’t think it’s happening this season. 

[JP51]

Not sure... but lets beat the Rams no matter how we do it... all I am focused on...

Yeah, let’s enjoy all the team hardware we have in the trophy case…wait

Allen has a 4 year streak of 40 or more TD’s. He has 5 more games to do it.

 

I voted yes because I'm a homer.  But it'll be tough to get 13 more.

Yup.

 

TDs.

 

Not TDs by a QB versus TDs by an RB particularly, though. Pick sixes, punt runback TDs and TDs off blocked kicks work just as well too. Same amount of points for all of 'em. Also TDs you prevent the opponent from scoring.

 

 

it's logical to assume the guy who accumulates TDs at a best-in-the-league rate over the last 5 years is also the one most likely to continue doing so

 

hence the premise for the OP

 

try not to let it get to you

Indeed, Taro.

 

I know what's important...I know, I know, I know, I know, OK.

 

We are winning and it is the most important thing.

 

However, I just feel when the opportunity arises (and it has in games this year) they would just let Josh go feast.  

 

...and you all know what I mean.

 

It does not mean be reckless...it means "Sling that pigs skin, Baby...make it fly!" 

 

Go Bills

Why doesn't the #2 seed factor in?  That's pretty important too. 

 

The two seed would secure having the first two playoff games at home (with winning of course).  Much better to get someone like Pitt or Houston at home.

 

So to me, if the #1 or #2 are affected, Josh will be in there.  And he will be getting enough TDs to keep his streak going.

Don't worry about it. Someone else missing the point doesn't bother me. Not a bit, I kind of expect it. But if you're really worried about it, why don't you try not missing the point?

 

He wondered why anyone would care specifically about Josh's TDs. Your went glib and replied that there tends to be a relationship between TDs and wins. Since Malazan was referring not to TDs generally but to Josh's TDs specifically, this was a pretty stupid reply. I pointed out that yeah there's a relationship between TDs and wins, but that who gets those TDs doesn't matter the slightest bit to wins. Which was Malazan's point as well.

 

Now you're pretending to answer me by going straw man. You're lecturing me about whether and why Josh might or might not continue scoring TDs. Completely beside my point and nothing I said anything about. If you want to talk about something I don't care about, hey, it's a free country, go for it. But don't reply to me when you do so.

I don't think he gets it. Bills are more balanced and running the ball more with Cook. Look at last week as an example. Allen threw it only 17 times completed 13 for 148 yards and the Bills still scored 35 points. As long as the Bills are winning that is all that matters. It doesn't matter if Allen gets 40 TD's or not.

Yeah but Allen scored 3 TDs in that game...

[BigDingus]

Unfortunately, I think this is where the streak ends.

 

Hopefully that's because he's resting 4th quarters & not needed as much.

That would be great, but Josh has been pretty bad on the deep ball the past couple years. Not sure why that is, but they usually come up short rather than being overthrown.

 

So if he's slinging it, better be short to intermediate routes. Or we can hope for a lot of YAC on some dump passes 😆
