rayray808 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Grade: B- 24/37 - 254 yards, 1 TD, 2 INT - 10 carries, 38 yards, 1 TD, 2 fumbles He stayed poised all game, and when it mattered... he delivered. He seemed to never lose poise and focus. Of the 4 turnovers, one INT was batted at the line, the other INT was bounced of Beasleyʻs knee (which he should have caught, one fumble on a bad exchange on a 4th and 1 which I doubt he and Morse had much practice doing, and the last was a strip sack - which I put the total blame on him. Josh Allen did two important things today: he led a team, and he won a game AWAY against a DIVISION RIVAL when nothing was going our way and they were even down 0-16.

billspro Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 The Big Ben comparisons seem spot on. Stay poised and make big plays in the 4th when the game is on the line. Nothing went our way today and we still won. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Big Blitz Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 A I don't think people realize how big a deal this is today. Jets fans and their media that covers them get to sit around and now question if they mistakenly traded up and whether or not they took the "right" Josh. Hostile environment. Dead to rights. Overcame the TO's (I put only ONE on Josh he was just fine early on considering we wanted him to literally do everything). The critics will point those out as more evidence that he's not good or whatever nonsense........ but most honestly watching has to see Josh passes the eye test. Without question. We'll have to live with the turnovers because he gambles he takes chances----he's STILL RAW. But he's a gamer and a dog. Period. Just a great great win. 28 2 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Even the strip sack had more to do with Dawkins whiffing like crazy... Not that that isn't part of the game, but the one that was truly a horrible decision on Allens behalf is the one that got called back. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 It's also tough to win on the road on the season opener. Next week They go against Giants home opener, but not the same intensity in week 2. Int's off deflection I kind of look at as good luck for Def and bad luck for O Look at how many passes the Bills got a hand on, but maybe only one ever came close to landing where another Bills player could have caught it. Allan had 2 passes that could have been Int's one called back on penalty and another got lucky on, but those things happen all the time to every QB out there over time. All around good game, for the most part, most of his passes were spot on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

oldmanfan Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Liked how he went through his progressions, how he threw the ball away when appropriate. Threw a couple into coverage that luckily weren’t picked. Can’t recall a single truly inaccurate throw. And obviously the moxie in the comeback. He’s getting there. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAJBobby Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I saw a game I wanted to. Allen shook off the turnovers (99% teams Lose with 4 TOs) and led a team to a 4th game winning drive in 12 starts. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CommonCents Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Crappy but scrappy. He left a lot to be desired. Took way too many hits. I’m one of the biggest JA fans but he needs to make better decisions. His short throws were better. The rest of his stuff was bad. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Just now, PromoTheRobot said: The Allen hard on I am completely objective on Allen. I am telling you what I saw today. I loved the first drive. He was decisive and accurate. The fumble was not on him. But the rest of his first half was rough - he wasn't helped by the play calling - indeed he was hurt by it. But he was visibly rattled. His body language was poor and his head looked scrambled. To respond late on he deserves credit. But it irritates the hell out of me when people presume I have some bias against Allen because I wasn't a fan of the pick. Some people might be childish enough to have those sorts of biases. I am not among them. I judge him completely fairly on what I see. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Billsfan1972 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 If you're a JA fan A, if indifferent probably a B/B+, and the ones who dislike him C-. Beasley 100% responsible for the interception & another drop (pros catch passes and don't let it bounce off their helmet). Ran the ball well and brought them back. Very few "bad" passes. A couple of bad passes too and an int called back. Loved that the Bills wanted to move the ball. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stony Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 Such a tough game to evaluate for Allen. Perfect storm of crap early on. But considering how I felt at 16-0, this W feels great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miyagi-Do Karate Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I would say solid B+. Loved the accuracy, progressions, and stuff over the middle. Interesting that he took very few (maybe 1) shot downfield, but that didn’t bother me. i don’t mind the interceptions and fumbles (as others have said, arguably none are his fault). But he had probably 2-3 really horrendous decisions that were flat-out bad decisions (the near pick near the goal line and the pick that came back on the penalty). He needs to clean that up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dgrochester55 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) I am not comparing Allen to anyone good yet since he has a ways to go, but I remember a few Bills games in the 90's were Kelly and the offense were awful in the first three quarters and then would find a way to get it done in the end. Allen did that today but gets a big assist from the defense for only allowing eight points. He not going to get away with four turnovers in a half too many times, but a road win against a division rival is a good way to start the season. I give him a B- for the day.

JoshAllenHasBigHands Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 We don’t have to lie to ourselves and say he was awesome today. But, he had awesome moments.

I thought he played well, and the INT pick six was not his fault at all, regardless if it was not a perfect pass. But it's tough to say 64.8 with three drops when he had one or two INT drops as well.

Warcodered Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 (edited) I thought overall he played pretty well, the worst part for me was in the 3rd after the safety. He seemed to get a little rattled after coming back from the half and bad luck still seeming to follow him. He seemed rattled on the drive that followed, but I really liked how things went after that seemed like coaches slowed things down started using Singletary and he calmed right back down.

nedboy7 Posted September 8, 2019 Share Posted September 8, 2019 I liked what I saw. I feel encouraged. I did not like the game plan and it seemed to put too much pressure on him. At least in the first half. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
