He had problems last year with Zone. Think we need to get that Oline playing better, I mean on 51 drop backs last week Allen was either pressured, sacked or hit on 34 of them.
- Buff36

He’s gotta get rid of the ball quicker too

Granted, Pitt has a good defense
But so do other good teams that we are gonna wanna beat this season (and in the playoffs)

I think Daboll needs to do a better job of mixing in different formations.

When there is no threat of a running game and you keep coming out in 3 wide and 4 wide and the Steelers are just going to sit back then you’re playing to their strengths.

Then again, how many defences have the front 7 the Steelers have that can apply pressure without blitzing and be able to devote more guys to coverage areas ? Very few.

Football is a game of chess and the Steelers are one of the few teams that can matchup with the Bills strengths.

We’ll see how they do against Miami this week.
- Pegullaville

Miami has a pretty good defense too
But yeah…. I was saying all last year that we need to run the ball more
Gotta keep the defense on their toes
Singletary averaged over 6yds/carry last week, didn’t he?
Idk why we don’t use him more??

Miami plays more man though no ?

I also don’t know who they have rushing the passer.

Bills O-line has to be much better regardless

Watching NFL Live, and they just commented how Allen had the lowest QBR in the league against the zone last week

Was also ranked bottom5 in the NFL in completion %
and bottom 5 in yards per attempt


Hopefully it was just bc Pittsburgh’s defense is that good,
and not that teams are figuring him out
- jdfitz77

You were wrong about Allen. It’s over.

Let it go already

I believe Miami does play a lot of man
But of Pittsburgh just gave the league a blueprint to slow us down, then u can bet other teams will start copying it

Allen is gonna have to find a way to perform regardless of the O-line

Why don’t u go back to crying about the Quinn pick??

How Allen played against Pitt is a legit concern

Sure but having a blue print and having the personnel to do it are two different things.

Bills will also adjust I’m sure.

It’s week 1 and everyone is getting the cobwebs out

bad coaching

should have just dinked and dunked it down the field like the brady led pats

Yep
It remains to be seen how the Bills will handle it
Last week was tough to watch

he had no time

it was like the last year of bledsoe as a bill

- jdfitz77

It’s not. At all.

You’ve tried doing this like 5 times last year, then he’d immediately have a great game and you’d say nothing.

You’ve yet to take your giant L

And bad decision making as well
It’s not just ONE thing that hurt us

- homiedclown

Same line as last year

And the same line we are gonna have for the rest of this season, so they’re gonna have to figure it out

- jdfitz77

nope
interior o line sucked
when he should have kicked a field goal, he punted

it's 1 game against a decent team

in many ways could be the best thing to happen for them, a wake up call early

Whatever makes u feel better

But at least i changed the topic of convo so i don’t have to see your exaggerated crybaby bullsh!t about Adams not picking Rossi anymore

Go whine on Sabres Twitter, I’m sure they’ll care
- jdfitz77

The amount of people here who respond to you anymore, you can count on one hand.

Only reason I did was to remind you how wrong you were about Allen and still won’t let it go.

Seven other OHL players have scored at least 50 goals in their NHL draft season since 2000-01: Corey Locke (63, 2002-03), Kane (62, 2006-07), Steven Stamkos (58, 2007-08), John Tavares (58, 2008-09), Jeff Skinner (50, 2009-10), Alex DeBrincat (51, 2015-16) and Arthur Kaliyev (51, 2018-19).

Maybe the Sabres also liked that they think he drives a line too. Drafting 18 year olds is about projecting what they will be not who they are at that point. I'll wait before I jump on the rip Quinn train and Canonize Rossi.

But what about Rossi ????
😢😢😢

U can blame the interior o-line if u want
Bottom line is that the offense wasn’t effective
And Allen missed passes even when he did have time
(Ex: deep pass to wide open Sanders that he overthrew)

And yeah, Pitt is a good team & a good defense
I’ve already acknowledged that
Hopefully you’re right that it’s a “wake up call”
Bc that game was ugly
And i don’t think any of us wanna see more like it

Yawn
None of that was “provoking an argument” in any way

And I’m not sorry at all that i “KILLED” your 200th whining session about how we should’ve picked Rossi instead of Quinn
Boo freaking hoo

Quinn could be the best thing since sliced bread, it’s just that the Sabres passed on players that have a higher probability of being bonafide top 6 forwards.

Like others have said, time will tell.
- Pegullaville

Good post. Very well explained.

I'm trying to be excited about this pick. The big positive for me : outstanding athlete.

Eichel had a similar report.

His commitment to solely being a hockey player, could leave him with a higher ceiling?

bad coaching

- homiedclown

Completely agree homie.

Was that the coaches or the big gun hyped up mvp caliber qb throwing deep?

Allen not only missed 3 deep balls. The competitions were nice throws into double coverage and sometimes triple coverage. Seamed more like allen not taking what was given. Tough call

- Boss34

Was probably a bit of both, with other contributing factors as well
It wasn’t all Allen’s fault, and it wasn’t all the coaches fault, and it wasn’t all the O-line’s fault, and it wasn’t just bc Pitt has a good defense….
The bottom line is that the offense wasn’t effective
And that can’t continue if we wanna be a Super Bowl contender
