His play in TC once pads went on hasn't lived up to what he flashed this spring.

TFBillsfan Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 “We saw that inconsistency factor and low completion percentage. He only completed nine of 19 passes for 116 yards and a touchdown but we also saw his biggest strength. He showed off that cannon of an arm. The very first play he threw a 60-yard bomb down the sideline. Granted it was out of bounds but so impressive. That strength is a huge reason the Billsdrafted him 7th overall.” Obviously this guy didn’t watch the game. Four dropped balls that hit receivers in the hands. That would change his line to 13 of 19 for 68%. The kid made all the throws last night! 3 minutes ago, LittleJoeCartwright said: Yeah, he looks much better than Cadet. Loved what I saw from Murphy last night. McCoy, Ivory and Murphy should be 1 thru 3. Cadet, Ford and Jones aren’t even in the same category as Murphy IMO. Kid looked legit last night!

I thought maybe I was just too excited to have Bills football back, but I can't think of a single QB I've ever watched that is able to throw the ball like that. I still think it's more likely than not that Allen never succeeds as an NFL QB due to accuracy issues, but his arm is insane. I am starting to understand why he was drafted 7th overall.

Allen just flicked it 65 yards (with NO effort!!) and Foster doesn't even lay out. I cut Foster after this game. I remember playing a pickup game a while back with a guy who was a high school starting QB. When he threw it deep, all of us tended to slow down or stop and try and jump for the ball. He kept telling us to keep running. I got another shot and kept running and he laid it in their perfectly. Tasker was right that Foster slowed down because he was looking back. He probably would've got to it if he kept running hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mason Rudolph, who some wanted so they could keep their picks and not make any trades, went 7 of 12 for 101 yards (no TDS) Lamar Jackson went 7 of 18 for 119 yards Mahommes went 5 of 7 for 33 yards My point? dont really have one because its only the 1st Preseason game and the stats don't really mean anything yet........ The point in regards to Tyrod is that unlike Mahomes, Jackson and Rudolph, this will be his 8th season, and 4th as a starter. How many seasons have Jackson, Mahomes & Rudolph played so far? Soooo...regardless of what Tyrod does in the preseason, we all know who the F' he is.

I saw enough to know that while he is an inexperienced rookie Allen wasn't rattled. I saw that his arm is as advertised. I saw that as an inexperienced rookie QB he'll sometimes make head scratching decisions. If you want to blame someone for the 3rd stringers then I suppose you can choose Beane. You would prefer Peterman play behind that line? Why? You would prefer McCaron play behind that line? Why? You don't see any reason to go for it on 4th down? Your final sentence is worthy of only one response . It's pretty simple you cripple. They traded up to draft Allen in the top 10. So, no, I don't want him taking hits and playing with guys who are going to get cut in meaningless games. If the excuse is his footwork and you have no plans on playing him, then just have him focus on footwork. I wasn't hating on Allen at all, it's the opposite of a hot take, it's pragmatic simple boy, I mean cripple boy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted August 11, 2018 Share Posted August 11, 2018 (edited) Watched the game tonight. Offense looked really good in the first half Was glad to see some WRs like KB, Streater, Kerley, Ray Ray, and Lee make some really nice catches.Gives me hope! As far as QBs, I thought AJ was the clear winner. If you just go by stats, he and Nasty Nate were close. But AJ looks like a real QB. He floats in the pocket to buy time, he steps up into the pocket, and delivers nice passes. He also improvised well on the 62 yard play rolling right to avoid pressure than then throwing all the way across the field to the open WR in stride. By far the best QB play of the day IMHO. We scored the most points with him in (10). Nasty Nate looked like he did in the final pre season game last year. Drop back and throw right away to a guy short often standing still. The scramble pass to KB was a thing of beauty. Playing with the 1st string WRs helped him.. Josh to me looked like the project advertised in scouting reports from the Spring. Made some really good plays and some really bad ones. Who he was playing with contributed I'm sure. Once he gets a little chemistry with the WRs hopefully he can hit some of those long balls. Murphy the RB looked good. Who is this Lee kid that caught that pass late. Nice catch. The pass to Ivory and h the YAC was nice to see. go Bills. On to Cleveland.

26CornerBlitz Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 ReFocused, NFL Preseason Week 1: Carolina Panthers 28, Buffalo Bills 23 | PFF News & Analysis | Pro Football Focus FINAL SCORE Carolina Panthers 28, Buffalo Bills 23 ANALYST TAKEAWAYS Nathan Peterman looked far more cool and collected in his first drive of the game than he ever did in a Bills uniform as a rookie. He was surgical in the Bills first two drives and didn’t throw a single off-target pass. On the other hand, Josh Allen may not have always been on target, but it was always coming in hot. He threw multiple passes that traveled 60-plus yards in the air although none were completed. In his debut, his legs were more impressive than his arm. Rookie Tremaine Edmunds was largely quiet in his Bills debut on defense, finishing the day with only one tackle. But their third-round selection Harrison Phillips had a nice day with two tackles and a sack of Panthers backup Garrett Gilbert. The Bills should be pleased and hopeful that one of their backup pass-rushers will be able to make an impact this season, with defensive ends Eddie Yarbrough, Mike Love and Ryan Russell harassing the Panthers’ backfield all day. Former first-round pick Shaq Lawson had less of an impact against the pass, but was solid against the run today. KEY TO THE GAME Buffalo: You want to see your starting quarterback look good in preseason – especially after last year – and Peterman did just that. He led two succesful drives and even though the stat sheet says he threw an interception, we all know it wasn’t his fault. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

26CornerBlitz Posted August 13, 2018 Author Share Posted August 13, 2018 NFL preseason winners and losers: Rookie QBs define Week 1 Going up Buffalo Bills fan morale: After a rough offseason stuffed with criticism for Buffalo's lackluster moves on offense, the preseason opener had to be soothing. Allen wasn't the only Bills draft pick to catch my eye, with third-round defensive tackle Harrison Phillips building on a big camp with a sack. He looks headed for starter snaps. 2016 first-round pick Shaq Lawson looks like a different player with 20 pounds off. Last year's solid defense looks deeper at every level, especially with rookie middle linebacker Tremaine Edmunds running the show. Most importantly, the Bills' offense already looks more diverse schematically under new coordinator Brian Daboll than it was a year ago. Nathan Peterman and AJ McCarron both moved the ball well and found open receivers. Contract-year receiver Kelvin Benjamin might be ready to roll, making a few terrific plays in the opener. None of this changes the uphill battle the offense faces, but it's worth remembering that this coaching staff did a nice job maximizing its players' strengths on defense a year ago. Perhaps the offense won't have to do that much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reddogblitz Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 (edited) 15 hours ago, 26CornerBlitz said: There was one play before the Murphy TD on about the 8 yard he drops back, and looks right a RB a few yds down field thAt was way open but didn't throw it to him and eventually threw it out of the back of the EZ. explains that. On the next play, McCarron (correctly) feels pressure behind him. He drifts up to avoid a strip-sack and uses his safety valve of Logan Thomas. It’s not a huge gain by any means. And maybe the all-22 would reveal a better pass option, but safe works pretty well in this case. The pocket awareness is looking like a positive habit after and we’re only two plays in. we could win a lot of game this year with AJ under center IMHO.

SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted August 14, 2018 Share Posted August 14, 2018 Quote AJ McCarron was asked to hold the ball longer than Nathan Peterman, and dealt with more pressure because of it.

Why would the coaching staff ask such a thing other than trying to fail? It makes absolutely no sense whatsoever. They wouldn't. They called different plays, sure. Other than that, they expect the QBs to do their thing and execute the offense correctly. Teaching a QB bad habits is not part of the process.
