Not exactly accurate. His 1st read has him looking right. But if Allen correctly identity’s the blitz, Beasley becomes the hot route, aka his new 1st read. Allen’s doesn’t identify it or ignores it.

From earlier games but hilarious none the less...

Yhe other thing is, if he knows that’s where the blitz is coming from, he’s not facing Brown so he doesn’t have to turn. There was time for that throw but Allen needed to identify the blitz coming from there.

I can’t say for sure. Daboll has said Allen sets the protections so it very well could be the case that Allen didn’t identify the blitz and so Dawkins was meant to block down inside. I can’t say for certain. What I can say is that if he identified the blitz, he would have never been looking Browns way. And he could have thrown into the Blitz.

Because he’s not there mentally, he misses a wide open Beasley on that play. He was always going to Brown pre snap but if he would have identified the defense and blitz he would have had Beasley wide open with room to roam.

ok thanks, I will.

It was working until it wasn’t, Patriots. Literally after the Pats game is when they changed how he played. I get that he doesn’t make those throws but my point is does that matter? Are either style of Joshs considered effective QB play? Because I’d he plays hero ball it’s going to bite him in the butt, Patriots. Or if he plays Uber conservative he can’t make plays or throws, though I’d argue he still makes some good throws. I think neither are effective long term and maybe it’s time to consider what it really is the Bills have in Josh. I’m not saying give up but he’s needs to take a step otherwise he’s stuck.

They may be neutering him, I agree, but the hero ball he was playing in the first 3 games wasn’t working either. They are trying to find some way to use him effectively. Either way what does that say about Allen?

Haha, that’s funny. So because it’s his 3rd or 4th read, which you are guessing at you don’t know, it’s ok for him to miss a wide open receiver? Have I got that right? And that’s being objective? Because he might have to rush the throw? He might have to rush the throw on his first read, why does it matter what read it was? Josh has a problem with his long ball, that’s not ripping into him, that’s an observation.

When do the excuses stop? Josh Allen has a problem with his long ball. Daboll literally gets WR open deep and Josh can’t hit them. Yes it’s a low percentage play but he hasn’t hit 1 this season.

If Josh hits a WIDE OPEN McKenzie, is this game even close?

The Bills STILL can’t seem to do anything in the 3rd quarter. Out scored again.

Lots of blame to spread around.

The Browns defense is not good. The Bills have a problem scoring points.

What can be said that hasn’t already been said? It’s the same things that have been the problem all year.

How horrible of a coach is Freddie Kitchens tho

Oh I’m sure, I’m just explaining where they got that number from. Although Boris Johnson, the former Mayor of London and sort of current Prime Minister has dual citizenship or did, I’m not sure anymore, and he would always complain about having to pay US taxes.

The problem is, as American citizens, working outside the US, you have to pay American taxes as well. Not sure if you remember Boris complaining about it because he held American citizenship. Anything you earn outside the US over $160,000 you have to pay American tax on. So a player earning $28m here will pay $14m to the British government leaving them with $14m, then take away the $160,000 exemption, they would then have to pay US tax on $13.86m. That would get taxed at 45% leaving them with roughly $7.6m. Perks of being a US citizen, so they say. I’m sure there are ways around it, I have no idea how Chelsea is doing it with Pulisic but obviously there is a way for them because I can’t imagine he’s giving up that much money.

And did trade for KB and Jordan Matthews. And who himself traded out of selecting arguably the best QB playing the game now and last years MVP.

Yup. McCarthy has not updated his scheme since 2005 while other WCO coordinators, like Reid, are constantly evolving theirs.

Agreed. Josh Allen at this point, isn’t good enough to take over a game. He needs the help from a supporting cast. Like what the Rams did for Goff. Load up on offensive talent, while Allen is on a cheap deal.

I know people keep throwing out Mike Evans name and don't get me wrong, he would be an amazing pick up if they could get him but the Bucs aren't giving him up. Bruce Arians isn't in Tampa Bay for a rebuild. He's a cornerstone of that franchise at the moment. And even though Jameis is playing bad, take a look at Carson Palmers first half of his first season with Arians, it was VERY similar to Jameis. I'm just not seeing Arians giving up that piece EVEN IF they decide to go a new QB route.

That would knock down Jackson a bit too. While he has preformed well at the position, using his legs, since the start of the season his passer rating is on a steady decline. When defenses adjust to his run and take away his outlet TEs, we will see what happens. The Seattle win is nice but he did have the help of 2 pick 6's and I think his real challenges will come with BB/Pats after the bye. He has some tough defenses in the second half of the season: Patriots, Texans, Rams, Bills and 49ers. So while he may be the media darling at this point, the second half of the season will tell the tale.

This thread is comedy gold

Agreed. His route running leaves a lot to be desired as well. I watched a lot of the Seattle/Baltimore game and his change in direction is very telegraphed. It makes it easy for CBs to cover him.
