DRA3196 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I am happy with the way JA is progressing over all. I especially happy with his overall production in the 4th qtr. I would like to see the gloves come off when we have a 10 point lead at any point of the game, to see what Josh can do. Josh I making plays moving the ball and learning what it takes to play winning football. I hope his progress continues and he can get some invaluable playoff experience at the end of the season.

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I do question how much of the game plan was due to the wind? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BITE ME Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Hard to judge Allen when the Bills did not really need him to do anything because the opponent was garbage. He did what he needed to do. We will know all we need to know about him when they hit the Cowboys-Ravens-Steelers-Patriots in weeks 12-15. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh was fine. The gameplan was not. 14/20 for 160.... ***** me. This is not 1972. Yup. McD didn’t want Tyrod but he’s coaching Allen to be just like him. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Barbarian Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 31 minutes ago, rayray808 said: WEEK 1: B- WEEK 2: B WEEK 3: C+ WEEK 4: F WEEK 5: B+ WEEK 7: B WEEK 8: D+ WEEK 9: B+ 14/20 - 160 yards - 1 TD, 0 INT - 12 yards rushing, 1 TD The good: I felt Josh Allen had total control over the game and establishing the run helped that. He never had to do too much or get into "hero ball" mode. His ball placement was good, and he spread the ball out. Zero interceptions. Not even close ones. Gotta love that progression! The bad: We are still awaiting the deep ball. Many factors are in play here however the fact remains that he has yet to hit one, and him being athletic enough to beat the cold weather in Buffalo was one of the main reasons he was drafted. Concerns are beginning to also surface regarding the inability to hit vertical routes. The ugly: Fumbles. They must stop. Sure we didn't lose the ball, but it doesn't mean that their is an issue regarding him holding on to the ball. Overall: As a sophomore, I love where Josh Allen is along his progression. He is leading the team and winning games. The people who are low on Allen need to stop expecting Mahomes level explosions of yardage and understand that it takes time for a QB in this league to get to that level. The people who are high on Allen need to understand that there are elements to his game that must be corrected or else we basically have Mitch Trubisky/Andy Dalton leading this team. GO BILLS! Would have had a deep ball if Brown didn't let it slip through his hands. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaCrispy Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) C+ for me... - missing a wide open slant to Brown inside the 5 - missing the wide open deep pass - 2 more fumbles Edited November 3, 2019 by JaCrispy 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILBillsfan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 kind of on subject but where is this TE we gave a little bit of money too. It will be interesting to see the number of snaps he had today and I do not think he was targeted one time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I thought he played very good situational football today. The sole exception being the sack he took in the red zone. That's an unacceptable mistake but he'll fix it. This is the kind of game I wanted to see from him. He wasn't given a ton of chances to make plays but he made plays when he has to. He had 3 incompletions that should have been 20+ yard gains on each. Converted a critical 3rd and 18 to essentially ice the game. I still refuse to put a letter grade on Allen but I'm very pleased with his progress today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zow2 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 11 minutes ago, Big Blitz said: Just having an overall solid sophomore season. The fact the most glaring issues are the fumbles (easy fix) and taking an occasional bad sack is very good. Doing what he's doing with only 1 real recieving threat. And fyi I think EDIT 1 INTs since New England. I don’t even mind the fumbles that much. Obviously don’t want to see them but when QBs run it happens. What I don’t like are the deep overthrows...and not completing the safe out passes that should be an automatic for 7-10 yards. If the primary receiver is taken away he needs to read the outlet quicker or take off and run. Their record is great but When Allen gets better the Bills will be a serious playoff threat.

Even the throw to Brown that should have been a PI he had to stop and come back. Honestly think the one to brown was back shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was absolutely a back shoulder and if it wasn't then you should question every single other back shoulder throw you see around the league as underthrown bc that looked perfect.

LABILLBACKER Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 What is he now? Like 0-13 on deep throws. We won't know what we have in Josh until we get rid of Dumboll. This was not the right guy to mentor him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hebert19 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Btw on his deep passes...I'm still convinced it's a simple fix. Trajectory. Put more air under it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) B+/A- 111.6 passer rating(not his fault the coaches are playing Jauron Ball) that is not C/C+ material like some seem to think. When you throw in he was our best short yardage threat and he won, it has to be higher. No Ints in 3 straight and 7 TDs vs 1 Int in last 4 games. Edited November 3, 2019 by D. L.

Tesla03 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) did his job today. Daboll for some reason didn't let him throw that much but it was nice to get the run game going playcalling was abysmal at times but not Allens fault. anyone else wonder what this offense would look like with Jay Gruden? He made Cousins and Dalton top 10 QBs Edited November 3, 2019 by Tesla03 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John from Riverside Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I gave him a B today....interceptions are down.....protected the ball for the most part....avoided negative plays for the most part......scored points both passing and running.......

CheshireCT Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Question, does anyone know how many of the fumbles came off designed runs? It seems to me that he's much more likely to fumble in those scenarios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
