SJDK Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 1. “Sixty minutes of Josh Allen playing football is an adventure. With a rarely accurate rocket for an arm that could dial up an in-stride receiver as easily as an unsuspecting fan in the first row, Allen struggled early before leading a full-speed comeback that resulted in the Bills avoiding an embarrassing loss with a 31-21 victory over the winless Dolphins on Sunday. Buffalo, off to a 5-1 opening for the first time since 2008, scored on each of its first three drives, but they were all Stephen Hauschka field goals. Often missing by a mile with touchless throws, Allen continued to play the only way he seemingly knows how: rearing back and throwing his hardest, running with no fear and ultimately playing with reckless abandon. Two touchdowns, a two-point rush, 202 yards passing and a 111.4 QB rating stood as Allen's final tally. But it's the fearless way in which Allen plays that makes every outing an adventure and has made him a leader of a promising Buffalo team.” -Grant Gordon NFL.com Eat one Grant. Josh was 62% today with 2tds and no int’s! I’m so sick of people not watching the games and making up some B.S. to fit their perception of “the narrative”. He’s about as accurate as anyone, sorry Grant Gordon... whoever the hell you are. 2 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ChattanoogaBills Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 That's a dumb take on today's game. Allen was accurate today except on some deep bombs. Im really getting sick of these reporters and their agenda against Josh Allen. Josh just needs to continue how he played today and we'll be 7-1 heading to Cleveland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mango Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 Don’t get the hate on this. Josh is hitting more receivers but still has difficulty with placement, and his touch is pretty bad. Josh had an overall terrible day today.

Dablitzkrieg Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 He didn't really play well. He missed blitzing LB's a lot. Inaccurate throws often. He needs to clean a lot up. People get so upset when some negative things are written. The defense sucked today also btw, but they get a pass right? Overall, everyone needs to be better.

Kelly the Dog Posted October 20, 2019 Share Posted October 20, 2019 The couple times he attempted "touch throws" they were fantastic. I can only remember two, the loft to McKenzie near the goal line that was great and the touch throw to Duke where Duke got hurt which was a great throw. Can't recall any other "touch" throws. He does need to be better on the deep ones. Missed two out of two open receivers. He needs to hit at least one of those. One he didn't put enough loft on and one he did but was still way too long.

I’m less than impressed with a QB who throws for about 100 yards in the second half, playing from behind. Let’s not forget, this Dolphins team is trending towards being one of the worst team in football history.

He’s the best QB we’ve had in many years. My point is that he is consistent and he is in his second year. Completion percentage, red zone TD percentage up with rushing attempts and yards rushing... both down. If you can’t handle a few mistakes by a second year QB who has us at 5-1 and who has vastly improved his play then how are you a bills fan. Don’t you remember the pain we’ve all had to endure??
