Zay has had more egregious drops in his career though.

Holy hell way to generalize. Unbelievable. Some people think it’s an indicator or accuracy, and you fought them tooth and nail. Now it’s all good? Like MDH said, you can’t have it both ways. And allen doesn’t need someone toting his jock 24/7. 

 

He overthrew brown by 6 yards when he had 6 yards of separation on the nearest defender. Sorry, 6 points

On a drive that still ended with a TD?

He had more separation than it looked like during the game - still a very tough catch because the ball is going away from him.

 

Would of been a heck of a play all around.  

[Bangarang]

Looked like Zay had a step on the defender as Allen released it. He looked well covered in real time. Regardless, I still wouldn’t call it a drop.

Decided to peruse through "Captain All in for Rosen" Jeremy White's Twitter.  

 

He's tweeted more about Rasmus Dahlin and Jared Goff in the last 48 hours then he has about Allen.

 

I see one tweet about Allen and it's a retweet of the "I am in New York" post game comments.  Went to Mike Schopp's......exact same.  Only Allen tweet was that. 

 

Oh....they both retweeted a tweet of 2 Mahomes plays.  

 

Sad!

[HappyDays]

Here's the missed TD to Zay:

 

 

Tough catch but I'd like Zay to make more than 1 out every 10 tough catch.

[BigDingus]

People keep talking about the passes WR's dropped, but they shouldn't leave out the amount of passes DB's dropped as well (including in the Jets game).

Allen could have had at least 2 more INT's this season, and likely more. Between tipped balls and outright freebies that were dropped, we've gotten lucky so far.

Hoping that continues, but can't rely on that against actual good teams we face. 

The thing Josh needs to improve upon the most is ball placement, not just getting the completion. There have been times a WR has been WIDE the hell open and got no YAC because of how they had to make a miracle grab to even catch the ball. This isn't just on deep passes either, though his deep ball accuracy needs work too (missed a wide open man last week for an easy TD). 

Brown seems to be able to find separation often, and hitting him in stride will allow us to pick up much bigger chunks of yardage. Part of the problem might just be his size though. What might seem like a normal pass to him ends up requiring a huge leap and full arm extensions for our WR's to even have a chance of catching the ball. I'm sure there's some way to help improve in that area, but some of it isn't really his fault.

I would say the catch is not easy but it is a catch that good receivers make most of the time.  If Zay didn't have butter fingers, I don't think dropping one would be a big deal but he drops a lot.

That and missing Brown wide open for the TD early. They were the only two I thought were on Josh. 

 

I wound it back. Looked like Josh's primary reads were not there, Zay just kept working to try and get open and Josh didn't quite get his mechanics right trying to fit it into an extremely tight window. 

 

Well the All 22 is up, did you see it?  This play did not go the way you thought above.  Zay ran his route and one of only 2 routes on the play.  Was no extra working to get open, it was his route and Allen read him all the way and dropped back and fired.  

 

I will say that it was not an easy gimme catch since it was a diving catch.  But it still hit him right in the hands and was catchable.  

 

The guy just doesn’t make plays, and at this level in the NFL you expect a guy to make that catch most the time when it hits him in the hands.  And especially late in a one score game, you want your guy to make that play.  

 

Wasn’t as bad as his drop in preseason, but still another moment Zay had a chance to make a play and came up short.  And so far, there are just too many of these moments and not enough impactful moments.  

 

 

[akm0404]

Bit of friendly advise:

 

Let yourself be happy. 

 

I understand and that being happy and hopeful and optimistic can lend to feeling emotionally vulnerable. Nobody wants to be hurt, but you can make the decision to let the positivity in. 

 

 But cmon y’all - it isn’t healthy to go out and win two road games in the NFL with your quarterback balling out and opening the eyes of the world and agonize about the extra interception he COULD have thrown. 

[Yav]

How much of that is Josh getting better and how much is having competent WRs? Lat year the Bills were 3rd for most drops. I would think the absence of KB is good for at least 5% lol

Zay makes routine catches look hard because he always leaves his feet and is either leaping or diving to trap the ball. I think he just does not trust his hands and that's a problem with a qb who is going to throw passes on a rope in front of his receiver and away from the defender trailing him.

Just looked - I think Zay was the primary read. But I still think it isn't a drop. That is a really difficult catch to make and as I said before Josh doesn't quite set himself. It is a really tight window the window between throwing it where the defender can't undercut and where it is properly catchable by Zay. It doesn't hit Zay in the hands more like Zay manages to get a hand to it. I don't blame Josh for the throw but I don't blame Zay for a drop either. It just wasn't quite there.

I don't agree. That is a catch even the top receivers in the league strike about .250 on. 

 

I get why people don't want to give Zay the benefit of the doubt. I have criticised him as much as anyone - but people are seeing that play through the prism of Zay's career. He has dropped too many balls he should definitely catch. That was not one of them.

I am sorry no NFL receiver makes that 8 or 9 times out of 10. In fact I saw a very similar play (not in the endzone) in the Texans - Saints MNF and Hopkins didn't manage to come up with it and he is the best in the business.

All good, and I agree it wasn’t an “easy” catch.  But I disagree on it not hitting him in the hands as it looked like it hit him in both hands to me, but that’s really just splitting hairs.  

 

While I give it to him that it wasn’t a routine catch, it still was catchable and an important down in the game.  I just want WRs on this team who make that catch more than they don’t.  And Zay is more of a guy who routinely won’t make that catch.  

 

For example, I think both Cole and Brown more often than not make that catch.  Cole has already made catches like that and Brown may not have had to even dive for it with his speed.

I don't think either of them makes that catch. As I said above I saw DeAndre Hopkins not come up with an almost identical one last week. What makes them so difficult is that as a receiver you get no chance to slow yourself down before the dive and hence you have minimal body control. I honestly think that is a catch even the best make 1 in 4.

I also saw Cole make a harder catch than that from Allen.  All good bud, I just don’t see that catch quite as difficult as you do.  All WRs don’t make every play, but I bet if you threw that play 10 times in a row to Hopkins he makes it more than he drops it.

I agree with you completely on all things Zay, but I think it's ridiculous to compare anyone to Hopkins who is just a freak. It's not fair to anyone to say, oh, deandre Hopkins makes that catch. It's like saying a DT isn't good on a pass rush because Aaron Donald makes that play.

And to clarify, I said I thought Cole and Brown will make that catch more than they won't.  Gunners counter point to that he didn't feel they would and cited that he saw Hopkins drop a similar one...and I was just responding to him saying that I still think Hopkins more often makes that catch than doesn't.   

[GunnerBill]

I think if Brown or Beasley fail to come up with that ball - and I think both would have failed to come up with it - I think this is a different conversation. 

 

Zay has done nothing to earn any benefit of the doubt but people are seeing that play through the prism of his career to this point. 

 

I think Zay Jones's time on the Buffalo Bills is drawing to a close. His playing time is already down on last year, but it won't be because of that play on Sunday. That would have been an outstanding catch if he had pulled it off. It isn't his failure to make the outstanding plays that will end up costing him. It is his failure to make too many of the routine plays.

 

To end this discussion on a more positive, one would hope consensual, note. The impressive thing about the play on the all22 is that what I thought from the broadcast angle was Allen going through his progressions before he gets back to Zay was actually him trying to look off the corner with his eyes. That is high level stuff and more reason to be encouraged.

Fine, 6 or 7 times out of 10. Better side of 50%.

 

I call bull on the idea that NFL WRs would only catch 25% of any passes similar to that.

 

Cole did actually make a similar catch earlier in that game extending his arms and catching with his hands, which was what Zay had to do.

 

That ball hit him square on his hands. It was a difficult catch, but he made it.

 

You're also right, though. We scrutinize the play because it's Zay. 

 

I genuinely can't think of a time in the last 2 years where I thought "that was a great catch by Zay!" Can you?

 

We scrutinize the play because it's just another pass he could've caught, but didn't.

Watching the Play - God I love having this type of video available now.

 

I think this incompletion is actually more on Josh than Zay.  Watching the above I think Josh is late on the throw making it much harder to complete.  Josh hits his drop at 3 seconds in the video and Zay has cleared his defender and is at a much better angle to make a catch.

 

Josh takes a small hop forward and then throws a ball low and away that Zay is able to get his hands on, but that is a very difficult catch - especially for guys that are not number 1s on the team.  I think Cole catches that most of the time - as we saw with his earlier catch.  I think Brown struggles with that catch, but makes it half the time.  Zay that just is not going to get caught except maybe 1/4 of the time or less - which is why he is not starting.

 

The other part of this that I blame a bit on Josh is that they worked similar plays in Training camp this year and once he cleared the middle of the field - the throw they had the QBs work on was the touch pass to the corner of the end zone and dropping it in so the WR could go get it.  That was the throw needed there. Over the top of the defender to the back corner/sideline and let Zay go get it.  Throwing a low throw on that angle is a safe pass, but is much lower completion percentage and we saw that in the work this training camp.

 

All that being said - Josh put the ball in a perfect place to allow Zay to make a catch and ensure the DB had no shot - good for Josh.  Now Zay needs to get his head together and make that type of play or all the blocking in the world does not keep him on this team.  

 

The problem is even with not making that play - Zay is doing a ton more on this roster than Foster - so for everyone suggesting that they cut Zay and bring up Williams - I think Foster goes first - so I still do not think you are getting what you want - unless Foster really picks it up at some point.

I know people will not like this..... but I actually think his run blocking is what is keeping him on the team. It is an area where neither Brown nor Beasley excel. But it does raise questions about what he is bringing that someone like a Duke Williams wouldn't.

at 7.6 YPA after being told for months that Allen is what he is: a sub 60% passer.

 

I argued all offseason accuracy wasn't really his problem after actually watching and rewatching all of his passes along with several of his peers. I really thought he'd be over 60% this season and got a lot of pushback.

 

Well, we're only 2 games in and today there were definitely some throws he missed (John Brown wants his Td Josh!!!) but, yet again, also throws that were missed by his targets: Knox for sure with a perfectly placed ball and couldn't tell what happened with the pass to Jones in the EZ, but looked like a drop. Last week we all saw the drops from Beasely.

 

We as Bills fans are probably catching on that Allen can be an accurate QB.

Taking it a step further we should be optimistic about that play.  In the NFL this is probably a TD 50% of the time so yes it was not an easy catch.  But on the positive side of things Allen got the ball there and Jones was open having run a good route.  This is an example of how both Jones & Allen have elevated their passing game.  That this was in the red zone is even more encouraging. 

 

I suspect in the near future we'll see the same pattern run where Jones will get a bit more open and Allen will put the ball closer to chest high with the result being a pretty TD pass.

I am doing this to a large degree.  And I understand that.  

 

It's a ball he could have caught and it wouldn't have taken Herculean efforts.  He has never come up with a catch like that in the NFL, to the best of my recollection, and when he was drafted he was basically advertised as the guy who catches everything.

 

When we kept him on the roster, I was open minded he'd take a big 3rd year leap.  I'd still love to see it.  But it's going to take a catch or two like that one that he actually makes.

I think you're being a bit liberal with the word "outstanding."  OBJ's one-handed catch on Monday night against the Jets was outstanding.  Zay's catch (if he made it) in the EZ wouldn't have been outstanding.

I don't know about this.  

 

Foster missed a block I saw highlighted on offense a week ago I think, but he does play on Special teams.  Plus...

https://theathletic.com/1219528/2019/09/17/bills-all-22-review-how-the-week-2-film-shows-josh-allen-set-his-new-gold-standard-and-grades-for-each-player/

5) Fear not, the deep shot to Foster is on the way

In 2018, wide receiver Robert Foster became a late-season gem after he turned everything around with the help of his teammates. Before training camp, some of those high expectations were still in place. Now, Foster has settled into his role as the fourth wide receiver and has zero receptions with only two targets to his name thus far. While the passing volume of last season won’t be there for Foster unless there’s an injury, a splash play is likely on the way.

 

After reviewing the coaches’ film, the Bills and Allen had three designed deep shots dialed up for Foster, but none came to fruition. In the following video, you’ll see three separate plays that show Foster as Allen’s target upon winning his deep route against the defender. On the first, Allen was looking Foster’s way initially, but the Giants flushed him from the pocket. On the second play, Allen reared back to lead Foster to the end zone, but the Giants deflected the ball during his throwing motion. On the third example, Foster won his route and Allen ignored the open receiver over the middle of the field to attempt to buy time. He wanted to let the route develop and step into the throw, as the end zone angle shows — only to get sacked.

https://cdn.theathletic.com/app/uploads/2019/09/17213005/0917-Robert-Foster.m4v?_=3

 

 

 

That link is to the video, which actually shows the 3 plays designed to Foster.  The link might not work, though.  It's a subscription story.  And he's open on all 3 plays.  They just didn't work for the reasons highlighted above.

Ha, you're gonna be at Busby's?  I used to go there all the time when I lived down the street 11 years ago.  I only live like 15 min away now down on the beach in Playa and may actually be there with my neighbor too this weekend!  Lets do it!  

 

And to clarify, I said I thought Cole and Brown will make that catch more than they won't.  Gunners counter point to that he didn't feel they would and cited that he saw Hopkins drop a similar one...and I was just responding to him saying that I still think Hopkins more often makes that catch than doesn't.   

I'm there every week. Go to the back bar and ask the short cute girl bartender (Lauren) for Pete. It should be crazy this week. or message me here before you come and I will give you my phone number to text. That would be great.

He's basically a bust.  If he were not one of McBeane's guys, he would likely be gone by now.

 

 

 

 

The thing is, Beane didn't even draft him, but he's the one who talks him up all the time.

So, about that...

 

 

 

Soooo.... 

 

not much longer then? 

 

Is that what the reposting of that thread is supposed to indicate?

 

Not remotely hiding how much I hated the Allen pick when we drafted him.

Transplant hates every QB not on the Bills until they are on the Bills. Then he loves them. ?

 

Not true.

 

Go look at my posting history regarding Peterman.
