Hebert19 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I think he threw that 70 yards without even stepping up into it. I could not believe he overthrew him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TonyBeets Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 I want to say it was 60 yards. Very impressive nonetheless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LABILLBACKER Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 65 yards in the air. Great throw and just barely overthrown. No Bills qb has ever thrown a perfect spiral that far. You'll see many more of those in the future. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

transplantbillsfan Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Not just that throw, look at the last throw of the game Allen is getting so much criticism for. He threw that football nearly 70 yards in the air AFTER running all over the field to find a throw. And yeah, it was about 70 yards... maybe 66 to be exact. Ball released on the 40 yard line reaches the end zone but he's throwing across the field. Look up the dimensions of a football field for yourself and you'll discover the distance horizontally from where Allen threw it to where Clay couldn't catch it was somewhere around 23-26 yards I'd say. 40+23/26= 63/66 yards. Clay should have come back to the ball a bit. Too bad. Allen's special. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Augie Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 If the ball is in the air 60 yards, and he misses by at most a foot, that’s not too bad. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It went 60 something yards while he was still rolling left. He didn't even really stop and set and throw. It was ridiculous. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Allen = excitement. I feel like anything can happen when he’s playing. That arm is electric. Pretty stark contrast to the rest of the season, though Barkley was good. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clay should have come back to the ball a bit. Too bad. Allen's special. I had a crush on Allen after Jags game. I walked away from this game in love. With that my ONE issue of concern I have isnt even an accuracy or "he missed this one throw!". The 3rd and 11 drop/missedPI/HellOfanEffortByZay has a part that many people I feel are missing which is my "***** Josh" moment. He had I think McKenzie just under neath Zay and he was very open, had 2-3 steps on his man. I feel like it's going to be a love/hate relationship with a lot of Bills fans and overall I am fine with it, but Allen has the idea of "big play first." It's why he doesnt do many RB dump off check-downs (shouldn't we be happy after watching Edwards, EJ, and Tyrod all check it down immediately?). He will wait and take a chance that the big home run play will develop, or take the harder throw than the easier throw if it means 10 more yards on the completion. Most of the time its refreshing and I love it... but in that game situation, he needs to hit McKenzie who probably gets a first down, or at least gets it real close. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kelly the Dog Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Josh missed Foster early on what would have been maybe a 30 yarder. Foster made a really nice play and very nearly broke it on the final drive. I really thought they should have thrown a few more deep balls to him just to make the Dolphins think it can happen on any play. He should always be playing because he's the only one that gets open deep and he's consistent at it. The combination of having a guy able to run fly patterns and beat you combined with Allen able to scramble for 135 yards on pass plays (I don't recall one called run except for the short yardage sneak) is a LETHAL combination and very hard to defend without leaving huge chunks of the field open for other receivers.

Exactly, that’s a long throw and narrow miss. Some guys throw it 40 or 45 in the air and miss by that much. 65 or so yards is a long distance. He can get those dialed in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh but what a throw like that does is keep 8 people from filling the box. Josh Allen today sent a message loud and clear that teams will no longer be able to stack the box. And now teams may have to put 2 spies on him considering his off the chart mobility. The throw to Foster was like nothing I've ever seen from any qb, let alone a Bill qb. We all know the areas that need improving. But I don't think any of us realized what this kid is capable of. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
