Big Blitz Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 If he threw for 350 yards it'd be "but it was against Miami! Do it against a real team!" So clearly based on the 1st half....and a decent chunk of the 2nd, our defense sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The offense overcame a below average defensive effort today imo. To be fair I expect more from the defense because we have a lot more talent on that side of the ball. The defense was not good and the Dolphins offense is bad. But their defense is quite possibly worse and was really thin in the secondary. Allen failed multiple times to find the open target despite outstanding protection. Those are just the facts. All the credit in the world for rebounding in the second half, but that first half was BAD. I don't know that it's reasonable to assume an OUTSTANDING defensive performance every single game. I think this team really has the makings of something special; Allen is going to have to get better at some point soon if that's going to come to fruition. I'm thinking big here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoPar_v2 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Allen, considering the level of opposition today, gets a D. Nice to have a guy with a rocket for a right arm and can’t hit the broad side of a barn from 30+ yards. Good win. Tre’s the MVP. Allen is frustrating as hell.

My tentative hypothesis is that while our depth is better, being down 2 LB was hurting us a lot (Milano and the one who is is backup and has been out recovering from surgery) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rayray808 Posted October 21, 2019 Author Share Posted October 21, 2019 curious if the Josh doubters on here would have rather had this stat line: Bills win. Josh Allen - 9 for 20 - 143 yards - 0 TD - 0 INT - 14 rushes - 116 yards - 1 rushing TD (what Lamar Jackson did today) I personally would rather have Joshʻs stat line from today as I do not find what Lamar did as sustainable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigK14094 Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 He is developing....and, I think, at least on schedule. He isn't a complete QB yet folks, and it may take a year or two more.....but, he is progressing. It just won't all get done this year. Yes, I know, you want a Super Bowl every year. Josh may not be ready to deliver that baby yet. Has a second year QB ever won a SB? I don't know....... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched that game and Jackson was a big part of the Ravens win as were two defensive TD's. Both Jackson & Allen are winning games in an unconventional manner. I'm with you in thinking Jackson's way is not sustainable. But who knows. Conventional wisdom is only wisdom until it isn't. Both young QB's are in different ways CLUTCH & PLAY MAKERS.

Take a deep breath, you’re doing it all wrong. 5-1 brings the tears ?????? all right then let me expound: Allen, again, looked excellent on intermediate routes and made clutch throws when needed. He looked very good on the designed runs even though i’d prefer Daboll not dial those up that much. he hasn’t completed a deep ball all year, and he’s so far off on all of them i doubt they even attempt many going forward. He took a sack in the 3rd where he held the ball for 8 seconds. His awareness is, lacking. But he still makes enough plays to win and has an all-world defense to bail him out most days so it’s all gravy. If you think this kid, as currently constructed, is going to win your team anything of substance, you’re mistaken. that’s the last one for you btw. You’re a bully poster who needles anyone who slightly disagrees with you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Okay if you don't like that comparison how about this one against the very bad Pittsburgh Defense: The Ravens beat Pitt 26 - 23 in OT and Jackson was: Passing: 19 - 28 for 161 yards, 1 TD & 3 INT.

If you guys want to play everyone gets a trophy participation awards thats cool you guys can hand out all the above average grades you want. it wasnt good. Multiple times during the game the showed wrs open and him not even looking that way. Over throwing brown/roberts by 10 yards was bad. Had a nice throw to brown on the td and a good throw over the middle to knox which he dropped but that was above average. maybe it was above average for josh allen but not for the NFL in 2019. Happy they got the win but that wasnt above average. A couple of things. First of all, if the other 10 offensive players we're all perfect then you would have a point blaming Allen for the offense's performance. Of course we know they weren't. Secondly, I know there is one person that agrees with you , and that is Josh Allen. The leader that he is, he takes 100% responsibility for all of the mistakes and credits his teammates for the successes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Having said that, he had good numbers despite some terrible drops. I’m a Knox fan, but the rookie did the team no favors today. The one drop was just horrible. Another would have been a very nice catch. The penalty didn’t help either, but he wasn’t alone there.... We expected the offense to be a project, and that’s the case. Josh didn’t turn the ball over, even under duress where he used to make the knuckleheaded throw/pick. I think you are dwelling on the past a bit. I’d give at least a solid B. Hit a long ball and that goes way up. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Making the same dumb mistakes over and over again why take a sack when you are well out of the pocket. Throw it out of bounds for God's sakes he is two yards from the sidelines and he takes a sack Yeah because it's easy to throw out of bounds after breaking 4 tackles and still have a 5th guy to deal with. At what point did he actually have position and time to throw it away? You probably like Tyrod Taylor and had no problem with him walking out of bounds for a 2 yard loss. Allen has clearly shown the willingness to throw the ball away so I think I will side with him in that he just didn't have a good moment to do so while trying to avoid all of the defenders. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I watched the half-time show of that game but not the game itself, and by the tone I thought he had been killing them and then I see 5 for 12, 100 yards. WTH. His 3 highlights (2 passes and 1 run) were amazing though, no lie. But he must not have done that much more in regards to his stats. And at that time it was 13-13, which their defense scoring a TD. So it's not like the Ravens was killing it yet they keep praising him. I am aware Lamar had a better second half but both he and Josh win "differently" yet for some reason mostly Jackson gets the praise & attention, and so many Bills fans on here badmouth Allen more than anyone in the media. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
