Phil The Thrill Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Fantastic stuff from Timothy G. Graham on Josh Allen: “Maybe Allen is trying to do too much because Buffalo’s offense has little else. His rushing and passing yardage accounted for 83 percent of Buffalo’s total offense. Last week at Miami, he represented 88 percent. A week before that against Jacksonville, 79 percent.” https://theathletic.com/704038/2018/12/09/josh-allen-tries-to-take-on-the-world-as-one-man-offense-reminds-us-he-needs-help/ 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bangarang Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 He needs to learn to throw the ball away and not try to force it by throwing across his body. Don’t need these bad habits repeating themselves. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffBillsForLife Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 He can play hero ball for the rest of the season if he wants. It's fun to watch and at this point losing is probably better in the long run anyway. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Agent 91 Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 Hopefully he can get the crap out of his system so when he has weapons we can evaluate him. This year means little to me, all I know is, if he keeps taking hits we will be drafting another franchise guy sooner than later. It seems like he is a bit of a flopper though. Someone of his size seems to get launched a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dayman Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It's not a great sign for our offense but certainly not a knock on him. Run it! It was so frustrating to watch the allegedly great mobile QB Tyrod never run. If you can run it's usually a big part of why you are a good QB. Let this kid run. Hope he runs next year too.

He needs to learn to throw from the pocket though. That’s the only way to consistently beat NFL defences. Throw first, and use your legs as a extra weapon 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RalphWilson'sNewWar Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 (edited) Yeah...this is the same narrative he had in Wyoming. Having to hero ball it up all alone while possessing Atheltic Big Body with incredible arm and amazing running ability but concerns with decision making, Accuracy and clutchness now he needs to evolve from this.

Brianmoorman4jesus Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It’s not going to be a popular opinion but I think what we really need is a stud all purpose back. I’m not saying you have to take one early in the draft but I think Shady is clearly about done. What Shady has been for the last few years is the thing Allen needs the most. Our WRs might be better then people think. We just can’t run. A few big time lineman and an everydown difference maker at RB and our offense could be good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FOr sure. I was going to add in saying I can’t blame Allen running sometimes cause he’s constantly under pressure. Was just making a point of saying if Allen ever wants to be that franchise QB, he’s going to have to beat defences from the pocket. Definitely need to get him some help next year 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are not better than we think. Foster could be legit. McKenzie is worth keeping as a weapon. That’s it. That’s all I’m confident in. Zay is a huge question mark after that embarassing performance today. Way too inconsistent after two good games. Our Tight Ends are bad. Deonta Thompson is good for a drop per game. Who else do we even have? All purpose backs can’t run through defenders. We need an OL or Allen has to be Aaron Rodgers on steroids for us to win. Even then he can’t catch for himself. We need OL/WR way more than a great back. Edited December 10, 2018 by SCBills 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExiledInIllinois Posted December 10, 2018 Share Posted December 10, 2018 It's good that he's running. Will keep D's really honest when Bills get an OL and receivers that can catch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I actually think he’s been decent in the pocket when given time. Every QB misses throws. Projecting into the future - Allen might miss a couple more than other elite QBs but can maintain elite level by his arm/legs resulting in chunk plays. If he ever gets more accurate.. We’re talking potential league MVP in Allen. Edited December 10, 2018 by SCBills 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's fun to watch and at this point losing is probably better in the long run anyway. Can’t disagree more. He needs to progress as a QB and you can’t do that playing a reckless form of hero ball. He’s gotta play as much as he can within the constructs of the schemes Daboll draws up. Doesn’t mean he can’t make heroic plays, but he needs to be disciplined. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
