![]() His 2020 heat map compared with this year’s shows a big difference. And it isn’t as though it was a problem for Allen last season. If you’re looking for an early-season tendency, that’s a pretty extreme one. Making it even starker of a difference, Allen has only one throw to his right outside the numbers past 5 yards. We count only two intermediate throws outside the hash marks on Allen’s right side, with a lone attempt to the right sideline. Comparatively, he has almost completely ignored the intermediate right side. On that pass point chart, Allen has attempted 14 passes to the left of the hash marks, 10 of which extend outside the numbers. If you can spot the trend, the vast majority of his intermediate targets are concentrated to one side - Allen’s left. When you consider how good Allen was on intermediate targets (10 to 25 yards), that seemed like the place to start. The location of his targets was the first thing to learn. It was, however, worthy of a deeper examination of the stats to see where Allen is missing throws and to pinpoint other issues. It’s not enough for fans or the team to panic about their franchise quarterback. ![]() But there is little doubt that had Allen connected on throws commonplace to his passing profile, the Bills likely would be 2-0 and would have buried the Dolphins by halftime.

And the inconsistency of the passing offense is a big reason for that. Allen had his second straight average performance that was more reminiscent of his early career mistakes than how he played in 2020.
