I too thinks he's got great instincts, covers very well, can support the run D.... but lacks ball skills. When he's beat he's usually VERY close to the WR or even all over him, yet he doesn't time his jump well at all. He has rarely been beat as in a blown coverage or someone just passing him by/juking him. It's his ball skills.

They did OK in both run and pass block. OK was the average, in that they dominated some plays and got abused in others. A little strange. Still, we should rejoice at the glimpse of the future: on that TD pass, Josh had all day to throw, perfect pocket and line of sight. Add 2 good Olinemen through FA, a few WRs through draft picks, and the Bills O will be awesome to see!

Nice! Very great to see. And overall, since McD has been the coach, the team spirit has been awesome. With the 3 blowout in a row last year, and the "out of the playoff race in October" this year, it's not a given or easy to do.

It's crazy how it has barely happened only a couple of times ALL season.

That the play selection is bad or they mess up is one thing, but people always bitching McD is too conservative than bitching now when he goes for it, come on!

I liked the "dump off" pass to Ford. The first one I recall by Josh. I saw Rivers do it so much their last game. And we all know how Brady, etc. do it.

I thin Josh played well except on long balls, which is weird That clock management was indeed really bad, but this year they've been OK. I feel Allen was better in preseason for 2 minute drills than Tyrod all his years here. The choice of plays was suspect at best this time. But let's not act as if they are the worst

Time for Josh for a minute drill. Yesss

At least he didn't get flagged for his hit on Stafford while the later was bitching to the refs

Refs suck and yes I too was glad Josh gave them an earful BTW he's been damn accurate WHEN HE'S HAD TIME. Except on long throws.

Who says McCoy would not agree to a salary reduction to remain a Bill? He - and his agent - know they wouldn't get 9M next year anyway. I still think that 2 good OLinemen by FA and 2 much better WR by either FA or the draft or both are possible as soon as next year. With Allen-Edmunds-Milano-White with more experience, coaches having a better feel for their players, and these new addition to the offense, the Bills could already be top dogs as soon as next year. McCoy could want a part in that.

People on here complain Josh runs too much but he does so 9-11 times a game. Jackson ran TWENTY-SEVEN times his first game. That's a high number for a RB. You think that will last? And I still can't believe the no-coverage by NFL media of Allen running for 135 yards in only 9 runs but oozing praise over Jackson for less yards in way more runs. Bias much? And no it's not just because the Ravens are in the playoff run. I'd like to know how the WRs on the team feel? I'd hate to run around the field all day to get not even half the pass I used to get... Football is not a one-man show.

Kickers are as protected as QBs usually. And ALL players cannot be blindside blocked when so far off the play. He should get a fine and in the game he should have got a 15 yarder. But let's not act like it was the dirtiest play in football history. Still, how come the refs didn't throw a flag???

Normally I'd agree but EVERYONE in & out of the stadium knew Haushka was injured. Why not him? And since the Bills are out of the playoffs GO FOR IT. Hell, run a 4th & 2 instead of faking to go for it and taking a time out... But recall when the Jags went for it on 4th and goal. Not only they didn't score, next play was a 99 yard run against them! Enough to make coaches go back to being conservative... Still, the few times the Bills have been aggressive this year and took a chance it didn't pan out, yet most of the fans did NOT criticize them. We want this.

Least horrible injury in the circumstance.

Sad but true! Josh really did look quite athletic going for it too

Top 10 defense, but barely cracking the Top 10. Doesn't mean they suck! But nope, they are not the fearsome stoppers that make opposing teams tremble. And as mentioned by many, pass rush was non existent yesterday. Which begs the question: why didn't McD and Frazier adjust and blitzed more?

This poll has opened my eyes to media & social media in general. Again it seems almost half the posts are negative, even in this thread, media are negative, and blablabla. Yet the poll shows over 80% of us see him as THE guy - and I'm one of them. And that those that see him as a bust are a super tiny minority. Loudmouths really get more attention than they deserve. BTW it doesn't mean Josh is free of our criticism and that he doesn't have a lot of things to improve! But so many idiots don't get the difference between intelligent discussion and criticism with plain bashing and cheap negativity.

I agree yet I still voted #1 with all the options. And believe he could very well be "the franchise". And I'm so glad that with all the vocal doom'n'gloom types posting here that over 80% feels the same. Goes to show loud posters don't necessarily speak for the majority!

What's he supposed to do? His surrounding cast is REALLY bad. If he acts like that when he is surrounded with talent, THEN critique him. Apart from a few runs, he starts going because he has to, or the defense is giving him 1st down yards. The few times he had time to throw he usually was pretty damn good. RBs had no lanes either. Not a coincidence when our OLine is by far the least paid in the league. I don't get the media and their love for Lamar Jackson. The dude ran 27 times. As a QB! While we know his WR corp is quite improved and Flacco was having success. Not the same as the Bills here and what Josh has to play with. But few will mention Allen running for 100 yards 3 games in a row. Or, as some of you Bills fans, say he is trying to do too much, gets out too quickly, etc. While Jackson is a new breed and Flacco's days are numbered. SMH. Josh HAS to play hero ball. Hopefully, he doesn't have to by next year. And it's good he's getting all this out of a system now.

Clearly a penalty. Come on! WTH was that? The refs thought it was Hughes or something? I too had serious doubt of McD when he sent Hauschka for a 54 yarder when he didn't even try to make real kick offs...

What? Not on the team that's for sure. You saw Ivory and Murphy light it up today? Next year they better get two good linemen through FA and at least one great speedy WR. Everytime Allen had time today, which was rare, he threw on target. One or two good runs all day besides by Josh. Our OL is weak, and their pay reflects that. I'd say it's priority #1.

4-9. It was a tanking year, remember? Perfect so far ? Except for the 23rd when I want a victory, it is kind of a new experience of being emotionally involved in games, but mostly in players and seeing progress. I care not about W or L. I'm not used it and certainly don't want that next year

Well all the injuries were bad, but this was the worse. I actually liked Allen threw his "rookie type" INT (the first one in the game). I'd rather he makes these now than next year. Actually I am surprised he made so few of these. Second one he tried and Jones didn't help him out.

Last two posts by the eternal Allen haters. So ridiculous. I'd pick Josh over Darnold and Rosen any time. Mayfield was taken first and he is by far the better one so far. But anyone that says he "knows" for sure how these QBs will look 4-5 years from now are full of it. "It" not being a positive quality.
