Wasn't really hero ball. I honestly believe he had no intention to try to complete that pass. That's why it was a low throw. Believe he was trying to throw at Cole Beasley's feet to try and correct his intentional grounding mistake. But when he threw off his back foot the ball floated a little to much and was able to be picked off. I do take some good from it tho. Yes he made a mistake but it also shows he tried to correct a previous mistake. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His escapability is underrated. The OL did not do a good job of pass blocking. He did it when he needed to. Every TD of the whole season has been 70+ yards I think. Eight of them. Then I don't know what the problem was. You want the wind in the fourth quarter if you are up, imo. He had an OK game. I can't call 23/36 for 243 yds with 1 TD, 1 INT a "good game" in today's NFL. But, he did come through when it counted. Edited September 22, 2019 by HalftimeAdjustment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eluding the rush, running the ball, were as important as his passing. The pass blocking was pretty awful. But the plays he makes when other guys are sacked don't show up in the stat. We had 3rd and 17 and he picks it up. 1st and 20 and his athleticism helps get the first. Then when we needed him he came up big and we got a TD drive. That's good. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Intentional grounding + loss of down < INT I like that he's trying to make up for previous mistakes, but don't make worse mistakes as a result. Hell, take a sack there. Just don't give it away. FTR, I've never been an Allen "hater", just call what I see. Edited September 22, 2019 by Drunken Pygmy Goat Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you do not include the running of the ball you are basically saying QBs who do not make effort have same value as those who do. 56 minutes ago, frostbitmic said: The Zebras were just making up for next week. I do not agree. I do not think they have a profit sharing agreement to split bribes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes he made a mistake but it also shows he tried to correct a previous mistake. If it weren't for all the plays in between & after, I might agree. But what I saw was someone who was rattled. He couldn't complete a pass to save his life for a long stretch, and he completely stopped progressing through his reads. He would lock onto one WR from snap to release, worried to even look away from his primary target. If his #1 option wasn't there, he'd get happy feet & start running around, and it lead to an almost entirely dead half for the offense. I'm sure he didn't want another intentional grounding call, but sometimes you just have to take the sack when you're beat. Keeping a play alive is one thing, but when you're already going down, don't try to float a pass just to avoid hitting the dirt with ball in hand. Fortunately, I think that part can be coached out of him. Seriously, I think this is one area that he can greatly improve & actually expect him to.

Outside of Gore and maybe Knox I don't think anyone on the offense deserves a game ball. We just made perhaps the worst defense in football look competent. By scoring 21 points?

I was talking about the 2 drives (where they scored 10 points) after they scored their 1st TD. The Bills defense was lacklusture during those two series.

The cutting of McCoy and now with the Singletary injury he’s getting more work and he’s coming through with very good production. He’s a very important part of the team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This forced Allen to often look for his hot read and they were bracketing Beasley pretty well. It is all part of forcing Allen to have to make quick decisions with the ball. There will be some good game film for Allen to study from this week to see what teams are doing to confuse him, and how he needs to counter that.
