    Man, some of you guys really set yourself

    up for a miserable afternoon. It’s no wonder this place is a nuthouse after a loss. This is 1 game in a 16 game season. It carries more importance because it is a conference game against an opponent that the Bills could be up against for a wild card, but it is by no means a fork in the road of the season, or Josh’s career. 

    Confidence is vital in the QB role. I think this is what the poster is alluding to. Bouncing back from a bad performance can help Allen's development.

    As someone who has watched 4-1 become 5-2 become 6-10: Don't say that.  Please don't say that.  Jinx.  Jinx.  Avert.  Avert.

     

    What we need to see is that this team will not fold its tents in adversity - that our D is legit, and will be there every week.

    We need to see Allen take a deep breath and set his feet, then take the throws he can get.

    We need to see our ST coach pull his head out and adjust for unblocked guys.  It's on film, and we're gonna see it until we stop it.

     

    If we see that, hopefullly we will see a win.

    Spot on. And not fold it's tents, get complacent when they have a winning record, 5-1 etc if they get one.

    This is a pivotal point in recent Bills history. A win today and a move to a 4-1 record could be the start of a sustained attack on the NFL playoffs for years to come. Go Bills!!

    Could well be 5-1 after week 7. Big game

    Also pivotal in terms of how our QB looks

    Beth Mowins is a solid announcer and a WNY

    product too. Not sure why you don’t like her.

     

    Instead, we get spero and archuletta, who are at the very bottom of the CBS announcer teams. 

    The female voice with the visuals and feel of the game just doesn't work for me, it doesn't feel right. Never has done. Where she is from isn't relevant to me.

    "Under pressure somewhat" = DE has his hip past Ford, Ford either gonna be beaten like a drum or flagged for holding.  Or both

     

    You can call it an inaccurate pass, whateves. Allen threw it where he had to throw it.  Look at ~13 and ~24 sec into the all-22 on that play.  If Allen throws it where Gore is, it's gonna be tipped by that big fat NE DE in the way.

     

    The throw to Beasley is a bad pass.   Bad mechanics.  You can tell by his posture Allen knew it after the throw.  I think by that point Allen was hearing

    footsteps.

     

    Short passes are usually not impacted by wind.

     

    Bottom line, think and believe what you like.  It really doesn't matter what any of us think.  Allen will either figure it out - or he won't.

     

    'Bottom line, think and believe what you like.  It really doesn't matter what any of us think.  Allen will either figure it out - or he won't.'

     

    Exactly. But as fans we are bound to form an opinion of whether he's the franchise QB or not, even if it is somewhat fickle. Lets see further Sunday! Go Bills.

    *sigh*.

     

    First series against the Pats.  

    First play.  Telegraphing pass - empty backfield.  Allen made the correct throw, DE diagnosed the play and hung back, tipped the ball.

    Second play.  Allen just had a pass tipped.  At the point where he should have thrown (you can see Gore turning for the ball on the coach’s film) the DE has pushed the RT back into the throwing lane.Allen makes a motion, Gore streaks for the sideline as fast as 35 can streak.  If it’s Singletary, he gets there, Gore just gets a hand on it.

     

    There’s no “couldn’t even hit this”, it was trying to extend the play.  It’s possible Gore didn’t run the route Allen expected, but I think it was Allen just putting the ball the only place he safely could where it would go out of bounds if Gore didn’t get it, and Gore not being quite able to get there.  

     

    Now in a mature OL and a QB who trusts them, Allen would make the original designed throw and trust his OLmen to truck the damned defender if they jump for the tip, but we’re not there yet.

     

    The problem is, people who don’t dig below the surface are all just “oh, Allen can’t even hit Gore in the flats, he’s all over the place”.  I’m not saying he never makes WTF? Throws, but that wasn’t one of them.

    The second play you mention is the short throw to Gore I was mentioning. Just rewatched -  To me that is an inaccurate pass. 

     

    You are right he is under pressure somewhat with the RT pushed back.

     

    Second drive 1-10 incomplete throw to Beasley is another short open inaccurate pass. Don't think it's the wind that affects that one but the ball takes a strange trajectory.

    Is this something you can get better at? It isn't always a mechanics issue for him. Sometimes he just overthrows it by 5 yards for no apparent reason. He may never be an accurate deep passer.

    This is it. How can his accuracy just GET better? Deep ball is one thing, Look at the first series against the pats - throw to Gore in the flats  - couldn't even hit this!!
