Tebow used to light people up like that. You have to be accurate with it in the NFL because coverage is better. He played in a super weak conference too. I agree; however in college, he was hitting tight windows on his deep balls in traffic. Wasn't like WRs were as wide open as some of the Bills WRs have been on some of his deep throws. Coaches need to figure out why he's constantly overthrowing roughly 5 yards on most of the deep balls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luka Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) Still dealing with drops. Not as bad as last year but Knox took a TD away and about 30 yards today. Guys have seemed to step up when needed this year for the most part though. One of the big reasons for the improved completion percentage.

The coaches are probably coaching him to avoid turnovers. Put a little more on the throws is the safer play. I think he finds the balance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen just looked rattled the entire game. Big bounce back against the Titans. Other than the horrible Interception he was really good. Weird game against Miami but Allen is showing he's pretty clutch late in the game. F Grant Gordon from nfl.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought last year he was fairly accurate on his deep passes. This year he's just awful on them. Always overthrowing his guys. On the flip side, we've seen significant improvement on all his other passes. Knox needs to get out of his own head. Allen was inaccurate on 30+ yard passes last year as well. I just don't think he has developed that part of his game at the pro level yet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gray Beard Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 An aspect of completion percentage that may make the results a little biased is the inclusion of throw away passes. If the receivers aren’t open or the QB is under pressure, then throwing it away is often the smart decision. Josh is learning to throw it away, but he still tries to run for it or force it in too often. Today there was a screen play that the Dolphins had covered. A veteran QB would throw the ball at the feet of the intended receiver. Josh ran for it for no gain. By running, that play doesn’t add to his incompletion percentage, but maybe he should have thrown it into the ground and lived with the incomplete pass. Less chance for injury, and less energy expended. The flip side is that he might have been able to make yardage by running, but in this case there were many Dolphins in the area. It was unlikely that he would make yardage, and he might have gotten himself hurt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
transplantbillsfan Posted October 20, 2019 Author Share Posted October 20, 2019 (edited) And with Allen going 6/7 for 67 yards, 2 TDs and 0 INTs in the 4th quarter today, I think we'll all take that 4th quarter 146.1 Passer Rating. Curious where @jrober38 has been the last couple wins. Edited October 20, 2019 by transplantbillsfan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KD in CA Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 This is fine and all, but as someone pointed out in another thread, 62.4% is good for 24th among passers. Add in that he's 25th in ypa and he's still got a long way to go as a passer. 60% is the bare minimum in this era of the NFL, it shouldn't be considered a milestone.

If I had to pick between Allen or Tyrod to lead a comeback then I would pick Allen because he’s more willing to push the ball downfield for better or worse.

GunnerBill Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 2nd half he was 10/11 for 112 yards and two touchdowns. I hope the first half was just bye week rust. I keep saying it Allen needs rhythm. He needs to feel the ball is in his hands. That is when he is at his best. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But his teammates at the times he wasn't playing well were equally as bad. And yet in the end, I thought Walton ran all over them and he had 66 yards. They gave up 14,points and Fitz was the good Fitz 80-90% of the game. 2 minutes ago, Rob's House said: Completion percentage, without more, is a pretty meaningless statistic.

When you draft a guy with a college career completion of 56%, and his first year is 53%, the first questions are “why?” and “can he improve enough to be functional in the NFL?” When 6 games in, he’s improved his completion % almost 10% despite throwing it away more and having plenty of room for further improvement, it is a positive sign. If he finishes the year at that level it will be a milestone. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is interesting because the OC followed Flores from New England and that is pretty much what the Patriots did to Edmunds last season. Confuse him and make him make an early decision every play then use his aggressiveness against him. This year he had maybe his best game against New England but then was exposed a very similar way by Miami..... it was his worst game as a pro but that thread from New England to Miami gameplan wise is interesting. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You’re really looking foolish in this thread, which isn’t surprising. You are bashing Allen, but are too ignorant to admit that the defense was the real culprit in almost losing this game. Yes, everyone’s precious defense sucked today. Until Tre’s interception. Allen has drops from Knox that would have been 6 and Beasley. That would have changed a lot. All you are likely focusing on his missed deep ball to Roberts. Wake up and see the big picture... 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
