Victory Formation Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 This isn't a told you so thread, I wanted us to draft Allen but I did not expect this. 3 TDs, but should have been 4 but Benjamin dropped that EZ TD. McCloud also dropped that huge bomb. The guy is even better than I thought, I'm glad they were so fearless in the way they used him, I was yelling at my TV telling him to get down every time he ran the ball, the Superman TD run where he hit the pylon was something Cam Newton would do. This is Allen's team, Shady is no longer our best player, Josh Allen is the franchise. 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Can you imagine when we get him a decent OL and star receivers??? He is going to be a super star. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Real McClappy Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 (edited) Can't wait to see the progression through this year. He straight balled today. I pray he can stay healthy with his style of play. Next year give this kid a couple studs at the WR position and a better O-line and look out baby.

Nelius Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Was thinking Cam Newton too. Seems like too easy of a comparison with the whole Carolina connection but he seriously looks like "good" Cam Newton out there, which I'll gladly take at this point. He completely dominated the first half, it was insane. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andy1 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Need to reign in the crazy stuff like the hurdle but keep the aggressiveness in passing the ball. He definitely looks like he belongs out there on Sundays. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Woodman19 Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 John Elway. But let's not annoint him a superstar yet, he needs to continue to show progress from week to week. Not bad for someone with low college completion % huh? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I am very encouraged...Allen doesn't look panicked, doesn't seem overwhelmed, he has improved each week and realistically each half... Still does some dumb things like that Statue of Liberty move where he fumbled but overall he was very good for us in this game...excited to see how he progresses the rest of the year...

BarleyNY Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Really happy with his performance and I’ll say the same of Allen that I did of Mayfield. Lots to like but still some concerns.

As to your question, his athletic ability is remarkable, now he needs to keep learning how to be an NFL QB. And a few good receivers would really help.

Jkgobills Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Watched the game with a group of Eagles, Panthers, and Giants fans at a friends house. (3 TVs going at once with 3 different games). The crowd didn't know Josh Allen well before the game, but they all knew his name after the game. General consensus was he reminded them of a blend of Cam Newton and John Elway during today's game. GoBills! Go Josh Allen! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Turtle Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Would have liked to see Allen get all the 1st team reps during camp and preseason. He seems to learn quickly, if he was able to get the feel for the NFL game out of the gate in the first preseason game against the first teamers, the team probably would have put up a better fight the first two games. And kudos to McDermott for putting the teeth back into the defense. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Now Moment Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 There's a reason why I hate when fans look at a kid's college stat line and come to a conclusion about how talented he is. Hope he continues the momentum into next week. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Boo Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 It's bit early, don't you think? He looks promising but he's only 2 games into his career. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Perry Turtle Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 The Viking dropped a safety into the box the first half, and then moved both safeties back in the 2nd. That was awesome to see. The Bill's were on cruise control, but Allen looks to have tha ability to make teams move guys out of the box. This will benefit Shady, who's faced 8 man boxes his entire Bills career. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc Brown Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Depends which experts? Kiper and Mayock had him at #2 I believe. It's way too early, but I can't remember the last time a Bills QB hurdled an all pro linebacker. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lurker Posted September 23, 2018 Share Posted September 23, 2018 Sure ,there's still doubt. This is the Not For Long league, after all. But the encoraging thing was that nobody's talking about accuracy issues today. His ball placement was the best--by far--that we've seen from him... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
