While the Bills faithful have had their animosities with Pro Football Focus in recent memory, the football analytics outlet is now tossing some substantial praise on the Buffalo Costs as of late.
Following the Bills Week 4 30-23 win over the Las Vegas Raiders, PFF stated through four video games, Buffalos wideouts are on top of the NFL.
Now, theyve upped that to … the very best.
In all fairness, while PFF has actually caught much flake from Western New York for mainly calling quarterback Josh Allen average-at-best up until really just recently when calling him “an abnormality,” … but the outlet has actually corresponded towards Buffalos pass receivers. Entering 2020, PFF stated the Bills have a wideout grouping amongst the NFLs finest.
Heres how PFF broke down the Bills playmakers:
After their getaway against Las Vegas in Week 4, the pass receiver system as a whole has generated 22 targets of 10 or more yards downfield in which they had open separation (more than a couple of steps), tying for the most in the NFL. Thanks to that separation expertise, Allen has needed to toss into a tight window on just 15.2% of his passes (removing anything behind the line of scrimmage). Thats the fourth-lowest rate in the NFL and more than 7 portion points better than the league average.
Diggs can likewise go toe-to-toe with practically any protective back on a contested target if he fails to create an open target. He did this routinely in Minnesota, and it was on display for Buffalo on Sunday:
Leading the way for the Bills is definitely Diggs, however for the first time, the Bills regularly had playmakers contribute from all over their roster to begin the season. As the Bills now go into the 2nd quarter of their 2020 season, a couple of more bigger tests come by means of the Titans, Chiefs and Patriots. Can Buffalos offense preform against a tougher course?
Oh, then theres the Jets mixed in there, too …
Blazing a trail for the Bills is certainly Diggs, however for the very first time, the Bills regularly had playmakers contribute from all over their lineup to start the season. In Week 4 alone, Allen targeted 10 different players. That Diggs “trickle-down effect” has actually been in full blast this year, as John Brown, Gabriel Davis and Cole Beasley are finding their method versus much easier protection while opposing defenses try to decrease Diggs.
And it comes as not a surprise that Allen is having a breakout season of his own while his teams playmakers are considered amongst the NFLs elite. As the Bills now go into the 2nd quarter of their 2020 season, a few more larger tests come by means of the Titans, Chiefs and Patriots. Can Buffalos offense preform versus a tougher course?
