rayray808 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 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+ WEEK 10: B- WEEK 11: A 21/33 - 64% completion rate - 256 yards - 3 TD, 0 INT - 56 yards rushing - TD (4 TD total on the day) "Play fearless" was the mantra heading into this game, and Josh Allen delivered. He had a few throws that were off, but he stayed poised the entire game and took calculated risks that helped spark our offense to put up 37 points. The great: We knew this game had tremendous pressure placed on the team, the offense and mainly Josh Allen. Twitter and FB boards had fans crying for a new OC, and to have Barkley take over our offense already. McDermott went in and had one request, "play fearless". Josh Allen did just that. He threw ropes for 40 yard TDʻs, rushed for huge chunks, and had that 3 TD game that had other fans using as a measuring stick that franchise QBʻs must be able to do. The good: 0 picks. 0 fumbles. As the playbook opened up a bit, especially after we established the running game, Josh was able to control the offense without gambling away possessions as we have seen him do in the past. This is yet another game with no picks since the Pats game, and most importantly for me, a game where he ran the ball well when it was available, AND DID NOT FUMBLE THE BALL. Although it seems like Singletary got the bug now. The bad: He had some throws that he needs to be able to hit and cash in on. The crossing route to Brown was one of them. Before the end of the half he also had a sideline through that should have been picked off. His completion rate was around 50% at one point, which isnʻt ideal, but he made the adjustment and got us a much needed win. In summary: he is a sophomore QB, and you have to train yourself not to get so low when the times are bad, and yet not get so high after a game like this. What we want to see is continued progress in various aspects of his role as our starting QB, and so far Josh Allen has been delivering. GO BILLS! 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

billsfan89 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 A+ offense put up 37 points that's not only good enough for a win but a comfortable win. A little tight when they were a 2pt conversion away from a one posession game but the shaky special teams was the main culprit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) I do think the Bill's playbook needs to have a 2nd player trailing the primary ball carrier by a couple of yards on every play to be right there to jump on all the fumbles.

Big Turk Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 All i know is he hasn't thrown an INT since the Tennessee game...might be one of the longest active streaks of passes without an INT in the NFL This week it looked like he found a much better balance of not making dumb throws but still being aggressive..the other 3 games it seemed like he was being a little too conservative... Now whether that was on Allen himself trying to limit the bad INTs or the coaching staff telling him not to throw those passes, Im not sure but today was a noticeable difference. I especially liked the aggressive playcalling and tempo after Miami made it 30-20 and the Bills responded with their best drive of the game for a game clinching TD. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ProcessTruster Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 Once defenses see he can be accurate, the whole offense opens up. Phins pretty short handed today, but he made some nice throws for sure. W. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marv's Neighbor Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 He did a Great job, BUT long term he will be injured by running so much.

Scott7975 Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 I can understand picking apart a couple throws Josh doesn't make when he has a bad game. I don't understand nitpicking a couple bad throws when he has a game as good as this one. Every damn QB in the league misses throws. Brady has thrown 3 dropped picks in that game already and at least missed on 3 other balls that he could have had. Every damn QB misses throws. Can we all please stop nitpicking about a couple throws. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSHMEAB Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 This was an A and it was all predicated on the fact that he went out there and....PLAYED football. He got away with a few, but in the long run, I am not OVERLY concerned with picks as long as the production was there. Had he thrown a pick or lost a fumble, yet performed equally well on all non pick possessions, guess what? That's fine. They went up-tempo, he wasn't thinking "I better not make a mistake." He was thinking, "I want to make a play." That is the only way he's going to succeed in this league. I even liked seeing them go uptempo when it ran counter to "running out the clock." That was Daboll recognizing that whatever it takes to get him to focus on "playing," that's what you need to do. Best overall game as an NFL QB. Very encouraging. 3 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelly the Dog Posted November 17, 2019 Share Posted November 17, 2019 A. 37 points. No sacks. No fumbles. No interecptions. 3 TDs. 1 rush TD (not even a sneak or short one). Excellent scrambling and 50+ yards rushing. How is that possibly not an A? 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
