rayray808 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 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.

billspro Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I wish Daboll called better game for him in the second half. The throw to John Brown to win the game was special. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bferra13 Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 A bit too harsh on him last week. A bit to lenient on him this week. Solid B though for week 9. Good insight there. Thanks! 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BillsFanSD Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 They didn't ask him to do too much today, so there's not a lot to evaluate. The fumble was bad, as was the missed slant to Brown. But he had a brilliant play to escape a sack resulting in a deep pass that Brown should have caught. Good game overall. B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trogdor Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 We are undefeated when he doesn't have a turnover and at least 1 td. We only need Tyrod level with this schedule. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lurker Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 He still reminds me of a puppy. A lot of love. Rambunctious. And then he craps on the floor and hangs his head in shame. The question is when, if ever, he'll get house broken... 2 9 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VirginiaMike Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Josh played solid. As noted, the fumbles need to stop. Brown dropped one pass, but Josh missed him on the slant that would have been a TD. Still not sure how well he goes thru his progressions as he seems to lock onto the primary until it's too late to go to the next option. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ILBillsfan Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 Brown had a couple of drops but then made up for it on the 3 and 18 catch. Not to mention on that play that was all Allen, Norman had to drop and respect Allen rushing for the first and when he did Brown was open The fumble was why i grade him B vs B+ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought Daboll should've incorporated more of the playaction game with Singletary running the way he was. Josh is pretty good running it 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Victory Formation Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 He’s doing pretty good for a young QB, he’ll get there I think. Tom Brady wasn’t Tom Brady in his second year as a pro neither. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That long ball to Foster was another frustrating long miss, but I really don't care about those passes if he's hitting the other ones. What about the missed DPI by the refs on that 3rd down pass from Allen? And icing on the cake there was McDermott not throwing the challenge flag. Allen REALLY needs to work on protecting the football as teams now know he has fumblitis, but as a passer, Allen's been really good. My problems have been with Daboll and, to a lesser degree, McDermott. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bangarang Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) B He was solid. Nothing spectacular and nothing horrible. I still want to see us throw the ball more. Edited November 3, 2019 by Bangarang 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Blitz Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) 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. Edited November 3, 2019 by Big Blitz 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guys on youtube film room do nice reviews of Allen and they would disagree with your locking onto receivers in fact he doing a lot of good things moving the safeties. Pretty no homer review on the game from the eagles they area good watch after each game breaking down Allen 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boca BIlls Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 What happened to this guys long ball? Even the throw to Brown that should have been a PI he had to stop and come back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwistofFate Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 C+ Overthrow on deep shot, missed TD to Brown, fumble and sub 200 yards passing. He managed the game well and made a clutch throw at the end to seal the deal. It was an average NFL performance with minimal mistakes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted November 3, 2019 Share Posted November 3, 2019 I refuse to grade Allen today. The Bills gameplan was to hide him so I am not grading him in protest. Josh was fine. The gameplan was not. 14/20 for 160.... ***** me. This is not 1972. 1 3 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
