Mango Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 13 minutes ago, MAJBobby said: We took the Route Concept he was hitting on "long balls" out of the game-plan. We dont have that deep dig that we ran last year. Essentially every deep ball is a "Go" Route which is a low percentage pass to begin with. Did you watch the game? Or just look at stats, because most of his Balls where screens and short throws. (ie Winds not effecting as much) I am so confused. So far today Bills fans (not all you) are: - Blaming the OC for neutering Josh Allen. Playing the short and underneath routes rather than too his strengths - Wind kept Josh from playing well - Saying Josh Allens crappy comp % is OK because he took more shots... - Needing Julio Jones and Gronk 2.0 for Josh to be successful.

Returntoglory Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 That's my analogy of Josh Allen. He arguably has one of the biggest arms in the league, but he rarely throws the deep ball. We need to spread the WR's out and let JA THROW THE BALL! AMIRIGHT ?? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just pointing out that the GO Route is the lowest % Deep throw in Football. And Josh has had issues with it this year and last. Where he excelled with Foster near the end of last year was the 20-25 yard Digs, and those are not in our playbook it seems right now. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he needs to improve decision making. I think he second guesses himself. Agreed. We had a perfectly capable game manager in Tryhard. I liked watching Allen the back half of last year more than now. Yes yes I understand he's 'making better decisions' or whatever the current excuse making track is, the cold hard reality is nobody (meaning other teams D coordinators) is worried about him in this offense. The worst he can do to you is run for a first down, but he's not going to attempt any throw more than 10 yards, which is exactly what we all got so frustrated about with Tryhard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn’t share the same hatred of Tyrod some did. But fair. How about when he stops winning game with big TD drives? Or or if he stops improving?

I agree with you 100%. Because he can fire frozen ropes to this areas. Deep balls with air under them- he’s not apparently mastered that yet. BUT- I content some of that has to do with the WRs too. JP used to seem like he threw the ball as far as he could and Lee Evans made all the magic happen... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lamar isn't playing lights out for the record, but your point is quite valid. The reality, IMO, is that they're all good young QBs that are going through the growth curve right now.

Only one deep ball was attempted yesterday, and I suspect it was limited to one because of the 40+mph winds. Every other game Josh has attempted multiple deep balls a game and has yet to complete one this year. He overthrows open receivers on almost every attempt. How many more times a game do you want to see a wasted down trying to stretch one downfield? sorry, the deep ball is not Allen’s strength right now. He is much more successful throwing intermediate routes to brown and beasley this year. That’s what he’s good at currently. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You are (inadvertently, perhaps) making a good point. For all the hype of last year's QB class, not a one of them looks like Deshawn Watson did in his second year, just as a recent example. Or certainly not Patrick Mahomes. I'm going to withhold judgement for now but for all the happy talk of Allen having "The Best Game of His Career" against Miami, i'm just not seeing it, unless your measuring stick is "how well QB compares to Tyrod Taylor" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
