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!


 

agree couple off target throws but all QBs have some. This was the best game of his year. Now Nosh start stacking them

Give me a B+. 

 

Tremendous game, but A is an elite performance and he didn’t quite touch that yet.  Left a couple throws on the field and he still needs to throw with a bit more touch

Wow - this makes so much sense.  Tremendous is a B+......genius.

A+

 

Who cares if a couple of passes were off.  In almost EVERY game EVERY QB has off throws. 

 

37 points; 4 TD's; over 300 total yards and the win.  Game changing drives and NO INT's or LOST fumbles.  This is the definition of an A+

 

As an aside did any of you read Sal Meanyiola 's article on today's game?  That guy is a flat out A-Hole!  I mean he has his own criteria about what constitutes good QB play for Allen.  The bias is stunning. 

 

And wasn't it interesting to see the other Josh on the Dolphins sideline.   I kept thinking "thank God we got the right Josh"! 

 

As an aside Allen is starting to generate some interesting QB stats like the number of games in a row scoring at least 2 TD's and the number of passes he's thrown since his last INT.

 

He's making progress.  Of that there can be no doubt.

Not if he ends up out of the game due to injuries from running.  He's going to get hurt, and it could shorten, or end his career.

its a big part of his game, you do know a qb can get destroyed in the pocket. i remember when we  had tyrod they used to say the same thing,and someone  did some research and the running qb getting hurt was no more than when he stayed in the pocket

A . His highest Passer Rating in a game 117.7 , plus the running and not turning it over.

He did a Great job, BUT long term he will be injured by running so much.  If he's our guy for the future, he's not going to make it if all the unprotected running continues.

You must be a hit at funerals
