This may not be the year he leads the Bills to the promised land, but playoffs are very realistic. Growing pains and learning moments...those typically come with losses. Bills are 3-0 despite certain issues. If they can correct some issues and get out of their own way, watch out. for my money , this is not the year. weak schedule weeks 1-3. expect to get spanked a little next week. hope I'm wrong, but the offense gonna have some problems next week. D will need to be huge Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D will need to be huge Yeah, but he's helping the Bills seperate themselves from the "weak" teams. Can't help who you play, just beat them. Bills need to be 5-3 at worst at the halfway mark to have a shot at playoffs. 6-2 is still posssible. Get in, riding high, and anything can happen, but you gotta crawl before you walk. The Bills are currently "walking" in the regular season, but have yet to crawl in January under JA.

GunnerBill Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 C B+ 1st half D+ 2nd half My worry is for the 2nd time in 3 games we saw a mistake affect Josh and scramble his head for a series or two. You could see how mad he was with himself and he needs to get that Brett Favre ability to just shake it off come back and play. Again there was lots today to be positive about for Josh. But it was a step back from his performance last week. Not helped by some awful execution around him. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillsFanSD Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Remove the interception, and it's an A. But the interception changed the entire complexion of the game and got Cincinnati back into it. So yeah, C seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solomon Grundy Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 Is Josh having trouble recognizing the blitzes? Is his receivers not recognizing them. In the second half he was holding on to the ball too long. I noticed that the Bengals were blitzing and he wasn't taking advantage of them. I'm curious to know if it was on him or the receivers 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob in STL Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 I looked at the replays and his good plays were many. He was under a lot of pressure today. The pass blocking was poor for most of the day. Most QBs would have had trouble today. He made the very poor throw for the INT and that changed the momentum. But he came back for another 4Q win. His last drive included several very good passes , several avoided sacks, and two very good runs. Look at the last drive. I give him another B. We won. He wins. The pretty wins will come, he is 8-6 as a starter. 2 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt_In_NH Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 He is very sloppy with the ball and I think that is just part of who he is. Hopefully with time, these things will occur less and less. He is like the complete Anti-Tyrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shout out to the two Cincy corners (both first rounders in their own right) I though they had very good games. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am okay however if it is a few bad plays during a quarter, followed by a game winning drive. I just donʻt want his "lows" to last entire games. I had him at a B-, however the INT is inexcusable... especially after experiencing the intentional grounding call. That should have been the light bulb moment. Heck, even the fumble should have been a learning moment where he realizes he just needs to settle in and put the nail in the coffin. All in all, he is still progressing along enough to prove that he can take over this franchise and lead us to greatness. Today just happened to be his worst game of the season thus far IMO. And he also made plays now other QB can make. That escape from a sure sack and 1st down was special. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted September 22, 2019 Share Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) Week 1: D+ Week 2: A Week 3: C- He took too long to make decisions and throw the ball on way too many plays today, including the intentional grounding play which likely cost us three points. The INT was awful. He had another almost INT on the long throw into double coverage in the end zone and a should-have-been fumble on our 30 yard line. There were some spectacular plays mixed in as well like the sack escape that led to short throw for a first down the left sideline. Very up and down overall. Like the Jets game, we need to be able to score more than 17-21 points vs. bottom five defenses. Edited September 22, 2019 by VW82 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And he just leads them right down the field. I believe all eight of our TDs have been 70+ yards. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
