Big Turk Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 With the exception of the second half in Minnesota where he wasnt asked to do much of anything other than keep the clock moving. This definitely bodes well for us and him...he seems to be more comfortable and the game looks like it is slowing down for him. Obviously he is still going to have some rough patches and bumps in the road but overall his trajectory is pointing in the right direction and I think he has been better than expected so far. If our receivers could stop dropping good passes that would also help. He could have finished 20 for 22 yesterday, he had some really bad drops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 He’s looked better than I expected him to. Would like to see him connect on those deep balls and get better at identifying the blitz presnap. I assume the latter will come with time though. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeterDude Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Bills fans have been duped so many times, it's prudent IMO to just wait until after the season before getting all giddy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
QuoteTheRaven83 Posted September 24, 2018 Share Posted September 24, 2018 Now we just need to find him some receivers that can catch the ball... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We just don't have WRs who can catch. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had some issues with underthrowing deep balls. Not a huge problem but they are still missed opportunities.

It really was. 1st and goal at the one that turned into 4th down The long pass to Foster was tougher but still, one you'd expect a NFL level WR to make... Even a high one on the sidelines that he stepped out of bounds (I don't recall to whom). Tougher than the rest, but we see so many WRs doing the great tip toe moves.

Not sure I get what you mean here. The second deep ball to Foster was perfect. Foster needs to make that catch. It was the first deep ball, to Foster I believe, that was underthrown and nearly picked. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm saying he's underthrown BECAUSE he gets the feeling that even guys like foster won't make it on the deep ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not a huge problem but they are still missed opportunities. Romo's comment was great. Just sling it! He was spot on with his advice. A 50 yard INT is like a punt. But overthrow it if in doubt. He's got such an arm we have to see at least 2 such deep throws per game. Even this miss and Foster's drop open up the field. Defenses have to account for those giant throws. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe giddyness to be involuntary. My brain tells me to temper my expecs, but there are chemicals being released in my body when Josh Allen touches pylons with footballs and hurdles large defenders for first downs that I can do nothing about.
