I don’t recall if all the passes were from Tua. So he’s another raw developmental guy. Great athlete limited playing experience. Sounds like a good guy to have on the roster this year.

Wayne Arnold Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 24 minutes ago, Sky Diver said: Foster beat his man, as he has done consistently. If the ball to him is well thrown, it’s likely a TD. Is it unfair to expect an NFL receiver to be able to catch a football with his hands? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You were fooled by the preseason flash in the pan. The sooner you realize it, the better off you will be. Or you can stick with it and be mocked for years.

I just see a lot of fastballs outside the strike zone. We just count all the passes that bounce off WRs hands as catches. And no, your ironic post didn't go over my head. 3 minutes ago, Sky Diver said: Is it fair to have expected that Foster catch that pass? No. Bounced off the man's hands. Yes.

Maybe he was good... but I have a hard time evaluating the kid or anointing him as the guy against a bad defense playing a shell scheme where they just wanted to run clock. I would LOVE Allen to be the guy, but today told me nothing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paulus Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 1 hour ago, BullBuchanan said: What I'm trying to say is that there's a really strange double standard going on here where the same facts are being used to trash one player and praise another who had pretty similar results. They both played poorly, but their WRs were worse than both of them, the O-line was awful, they couldn't and didn't run and the defense was a sieve. The entire team around both QBs was a constant. They performed the same start to finish. The QBs were the only variable on the Bills side and neither had any success. What I'm also saying is the minute edge that Allen had in production should be considered with respect that the Ravens had their defensive stars on the sidelines. I'm super confused how one guy was trash and the other "must absolutely start" based off the same results. Allen had to lead this team to its first, first down. Let that sink in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also liked how he consistently kept his eyes down field while finding pockets behind the OLine and making solid throws. I'd still like to see more "safe" throws but that will come with time imo.

Look at where the defender is and where the ball is. Any average high school receiver reaches out over the defender and catches the ball with his hands.

And why are you more concerned about the Alabama WR and not the fact that Benjamin dropped a TD pass? Is there enough time in a day to discuss Benjamin's useless self. Can we trade him now?

Any average high school receiver reaches out over the defender and catches the ball with his hands. He was a 5* recruit. Ranked the #2 WR in the nation. I don’t know how many HS WR’s there are in the country, but it’s a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For whatever reason they also refused to run the ball in the first half. i think McCoy had 2 carries for -1 yards. 3rd stringer?

Usually our QBs will throw it 16 even when they make a nice escape like that. Really true. He throws it 25 yards on a rope with ease. That was a nice thought and we havent seen a real NFL caliber throw in a VERY LONG TIME. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JimS Posted September 10, 2018 Share Posted September 10, 2018 I love that he worked on his game after his season ended and played well in the Senior Bowl while cleaning up some of his "issues". I love how he worked through the Summer at camp and rarely made the same mistake multiple times. I LOVED how he took the brunt of the criticism of his last pre-season game upon himself. He is not Carr, Wentz, or Mahomes, everyone's background and make-up is different. Play the Kid, I believe he is special. Regarding the throw to Foster, did he follow through completely, or did he take a shot in the chest as soon as he released? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
