Allen looked very good today

Bills shouldn’t have committed penalties on the plays to negate them, hopefully they resolve that soon 

Some of the holds are still related to him shifting sideways instead of up into the pocket. He creates a lot of sacks by rolling right into pressure. It's a terrible trait that a lot of athletic QBs seem to have picked up.

You fan boys are gross. Just gross. You’re a part of the problem. “Josh looked good today” HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA 

 

This is what many Bills fans do, they did it with JP Losman, EJ Manuel, yadda.

 

Allen was a bust on draft night, and he is proving that each week on the field.

 

If Bills fans think this player is going to actually improve, they are not only drinking the Kool Aid, they are rolling up the Kool Aid packet and smoking it.

About once per game he takes a deep shot down the field.  If my recollection is correct, not one of these long passes (going back to exhibition games) came within 5 yards of the intended receiver.  Tyrod, with a weaker arm, threw a much better deep ball.

 

Also, that throw at Clay's feet in the 1st quarter (when he was open) was shocking.

 

Sadly and reluctantly, I'm beginning to think that the criticism of Josh coming out of college was accurate.

 

Also (sorry to burst through an open door) - has the QBs coach ever coached QBs before at any level?  I think not, he's a WR coach.  Good but very belated move to have Anderson around.

Stick around for 4 years of Rex level mismanagement because the Whaley built roster snuck into the playoffs. Logan Thomas over Nick O'Leary is just one of the recent wtf moments in their personnel choices. It's an old team with no talent and possibly a wasted draft pick in what looked to be a stacked QB draft.

Darnold or bust? 

 

Mayfield has shown the most of all of them so far.

 

Rosen has looked fantastic.  We could have had him probably without trading up as much.

 

They can partially right this wrong by taking a top QB next year as well, especially if we finish with a horrible record and pick, say, top 3.

 

The problem is they won't take another QB unless they are ordered to do so by Pegula, and that is probably unlikely.

 

 

Rosen has not looked fantastic. He looks like a rookie, just like Allen. Hate Allen all you want, but don't make shite up to prove a point.

At this point you have to wonder if that elbow is beyond bruised, a ligament or muscle tear type of injury that would require surgery, would Allen’s “elite” arm ever be the same? My thinking is it would be too risky not to draft a QB. If indeed Allen is out for an extended period this team must sign another QB & the best player available is Colin Kaepernick. I’ve made the argument last week his skillset is perfect in Daboll’s RPO heavy offense. 

Were you drunk when you posted this crap?

Allen is a bust, you just have to face facts.  If you want to cheerlead for the next 1.5 seasons, that's fine, you'll eventually realize what smart people knew on draft night.

Lol Mr pro scout. Good thing you weren't in charge when Manning was a rookie, or Farve. Qb's do not come into the league dominating. They have to take there lumps. You're ready to dump him after 5 games. That's idiotic. I swear we have the worst fans.

His college career showed he would be an NFL bust, wake up.

Give him more than 5 games!!!!

This team sucks, no wr, terrible OL, TE are crap. OC sucks. Wake up, he's been put into a system set up for failure. But lets just blame the rookie Qb. Makes tons of sense. Good Lord!!!!

Rewatch the Packers game.  Then rewatch yesterday.  Then try and tell me he hasn't improved.  Does he process fast enough yet? No.  Is he getting better?  Yes.

 

and if you say no you simply don't want to face reality.

Depends. When his initial read is there the ball comes out. I don't see a difference. He's not seeing the field well and/or he doesn't trust what he's seeing. 

 

For a young QB the stats don't mean much to me, I just look at rhythm of throws. There is no rhythm. His feet seem too fast. Something just isn't right. I can't sit here and say what it is, that's for the Bills coaches. All I know is he rarely throws the football on rhythm, everything seems late.

It's not up to me how many games he will get lol!  Don't worry, he'll get at least 20 games to show all that he's a bust.  McBeane will give him all the games they can, because they know when the Allen experiment is over, so are their careers in Buffalo.

I thought he looked above average today as well, minus 2 throws he was very accurate, it was a vast improvement over the last game.

College careers mean absolutely zero to the NFL, otherwise guys AJ McCarron and Tim Tebow would be hall of famers.

Allen's play in college showed his weaknesses, weaknesses that the Bills were blinded from due to his arm.  "He's a Buffalo kind of kid", "he can throw in the weather".  OMG, this franchise is STILL A JOKE!

Is this the same college division that Boise State dominated?  

 

Tuned in one time to see a game st Idaho Stae and the uprights were nailed to the barn wall.

 

 

 

Best hyped pro out of Wyoming since Fennis Dembo?

Have you thought maybe it’s allen holding the offense back? Doesn’t mean he’s a bust just that he’s struggling right now.

He is like most every young QB.  The game has to slow down for him.  It takes time.  Some have it slow down faster, some slower, some never.

 

Watch the game against the Pack, then watch yesterday.  Watch them objectively. He's getting there.  He's not blindly running out of the pocket.  He's starting to be more decisive.  Can I guarantee he'll get there?  No.  But progress is definitively evident if you just watch the games without preconceived bias.

Agreed the game doesn’t really seem to big for Josh seems by design the coaches are basically giving one read and if it s not open use his legs and that’s it just a shame he got hurt 


Agreed - Bruce was the real all time great.

Josh is literally the worst QB in the NFL when the other team puts anything like pressure on him.

Not sure how that translates into "the game doesn't seem too big". Why would people say that? Because he scrambles around and often makes horrific decisions, either with the ball or with his body? 

That run towards the end of his stay, where he decided to challenge the linebacker and was simultaneously hit by a 340 pound lineman, just for an example. His leap over Anthony Barr is a screaming example of what is wrong with that man. It is BAD football, and he continually is writing checks his body cannot deliver on a consistent basis either through the air or on the ground.

Just get us one of them there scientific machines that slow down time and put it in an NFL game, saw one of them there machines on a TV show a few years ago

 

one time a TV guy clapped his hands and everyone froze and he could move things around and then clap everyone back into real time, think of the possibilities, first 300 yard passing game since Jim Kelly!

 

maybe ask the opposing D to try less so he can develop, for the sake of fairness

No he's not like every other young QB. He's not throwing it. Making the wrong decision is one thing, he's not making the decision. That's the problem.

What if it’s allen that’s historically bad right now? Let’s see anderson go in for a game and see if the wrs can catch balls.  

Lol, Ray Ray, Foster, Jones should all be stars! Only thing holding them back is Allen!!!

Zay jones td was the best thrown ball all day. Zay has a great route and catch he’s a decent nfl wr not historically bad

He has been terrible. He's in his second year. He has shown no signs of improvement.

Map you’re saying the nice route and td catch was not good?  We all want Allen to be great but that doesn’t mean he’s playing well right now. He’s not and that’s ok.

I recall 3 beautiful passes where  -if not for insidious penalties- would have completely turned the game in our favor and added at least 100 yards. I see continual improvement in Allen but it’s slow and sometimes hard to watch.

 

He had a rookie performance, with some good and some bad.

 

He stood in the pocket at times (the tackle on Zay in the first drive that wasn't called by the refs and the  dart to KB before the injury) He saw some greeen and took it with his legs.

 

He got sacked on a couple of  3rd downs that was bad (on a delay blitz in the 1st half and by JJ Watt splitting a double team)

 

It would have been great to see the team score on the red zone, I thought he had Croom open for a second but he chose to throw it to Zay Jones, maybe a rookie mistake going to his predetermined guy pre-snap. 

 

in the third QTR the Texans were able to minimize McCoy and Ivory's impact and dared the rookie to beat them. He had the long pass to KB, negated by captain Di Marco's penalty and then had the beautiful pass to KB that was his final pass. 

 

I believe it was a fine performance by the rookie going into a loud stadium against Watt and Clowney led defense. 

 

The outrage comes from losing that game after a fantastic defensive performance. That is what really hurts.

i'm trying to put as much support as i can behind allen, but i haven't seen any real progress yet.  not blown away by that, but it's a little discouraging.  that being said, it's more how he progresses from this year to next.  no matter what this staff is going to give him time, so people may want to come to terms with that.

Your usual nonsense unfortunately.  Every young QB has to get the game to slow down for him.

I disagree after watching yesterday.  He's threw 19 times in less than 3 full quarters, which is reasonable given the focus on the run game. 

 

As time goes on he'll process quicker and get the ball out quicker.  I'm not saying he's great by any means.  He has a lot to learn.  What I'm saying is those who insist he's making no progress aren't really watching what's going on.
