  1. I thought allen played well. He had some bad luck, a few questionable decisions which is natural for this long in his tenure as an nfl QB and some absolute beauties. 

     

    All in all, he did what he needed to get the win and his 4th quarter was brilliant. I thought he moved the offense really well for most of the game, he still needs to learn to get rid of the ball a bit faster when its obvious the play is sunk instead of taking hits

    The fixation by some posters on Allen's bad across the body throw would be wrong headed if this was the regular season and the INT hadn't been cancelled by a penalty.  That it's happening after a meaningless preseason game is bizzare to me.  As others have noted Allen channel's Favre in this respect.  Hopefully he'll be as good as Favre but that remains to be seen.  But every once in a while he's going to do this kind of thing.  And over the course of a season he may get picked once or twice throwing that ball but I suspect you'll also see a couple of huge gains off this type of throw.

     

    Last night the only truly awful decision/throw Allen had was the INT. 

     

    *  His first pass was on the money to Jones.  His 2nd pass wasn't a good throw but it was the right decision to target Beasley and it wasn't a horrible throw.

     

    *  His 3rd pass was a dime to Beasley that unfortunately he fumbled. 

     

    *  His 5th throw to Brown was on target and a good decision that was broken up by an excellent pass defense play.

     

    *  His last 2 throws to Brown, after he was allowed to throw on 1st down and out of the shotgun, were both excellent and went for long gains and 1st downs.  Allen also had a nice run for a 1st down as he led the Bills on a 95 yard TD drive to take the lead at the end of the half.

     

    All in all a pedestrian performance with a flash of brilliance in that last drive.  That 2 minute drive is what Bills fans should focus on and be encouraged by.  Instead some choose to focus only on the bad INT.

    I agree with some of this, but come on man that first throw to jones had way too much heat on it and wasn't placed on the back shoulder like it was designed. The second throw to beasley was a good decision but way behind him, lucky it wasn't picked if the corner had proper position.

     

    The ball that should have been picked was an awful decision, plain and simple 

     

    The bullet to beasley was a great pass, best one of the night. He had a really good two minute drill as well

     

    All in all, not a great performance or even good but was saved by the two minute drill, the coaching staff didn't so him any favors though with playcalling
