WEEK 12: B

 

15/25 - 185 yards - 2 TD, 1 INT - 56 yards rushing

 

Another week where Josh goes out there and fixes something that was broken. Gotta love that! The long ball TD finally arrives, and it was a beauty. 

 

The great: 69 yard, and 87 yard scoring drives. Sure it lead to FGʻs and we would love to see TDʻs however against a good defense like Denver, those long drives are exactly what is needed to wear down a team like that and most importantly allow our defense time to make adjustments and dominate games. Josh was poised, confident and in command. As the game went on, the big plays opened up and Josh capitalized with his legs, and his arm (Cole Beasley big play, John Brown TD).

 

The good: The John Brown deep ball. FINALLY. It does exist! Getting that on tape before Dallas was huge as now it shifts the game plan a bit for them defensively. I was happy for them as a duo also, as they have been practicing getting the timing and rhythm down. The key to remember is that our offensive is completely brand new, so taking time to gel was a given.

 

The bad: Falling in love with the hard count. It seemed to confuse our guys more than it did them.

 

In summary: Another week where Josh Allen improves and works on the holes in his game. Denver is a LEGIT defense, and our QB did what needed to be done to get us the win. Throw out the Broncos record. This was by far one of the toughest tests Josh has had to face in his sophomore year. Ladies and gentlemen, we might have our QB of the future.

 

GO BILLS!

Great game from Josh. Only had 2 bad plays by my count. The throw to Beasley which allowed a bunch of YAC, the TD to Beasley, and the TD to Brown were three of the best throws he's had all year. He had his best run of the year to avoid a 3 and out inside our own 10. He converted numerous 3rd and longs. The Broncos defense is no joke and best of all he has looked good two weeks in a row.

Spot on!

 

His scrambling to keep drives alive was huge. The throws you mentioned are big time, big boy NFL throws.

He should have been picked for the second time on that throw that went right through the DB's hands and hit his teammate in the back. But it was windy and Josh also made some great throws. He's so effective with Singletary running the read option. He gave us 241 yards in 34 plays and kept the offense moving. We can win playoff games when he plays like this.

the kid just possesses a certain amount magic. he is more often than not able to impose his will upon the opponent. all of the great ones have this quality. he is still just a babe in terms of realizing the depths of his potential. good times are on the horizon once again, it might as well be '88 all over again.

I would say A- due to one really bad pass/int.  A couple of huge TD passes and some huge runs.  Bills offense got confused on some plays which is not something that should be happening in game 11 but I'm not putting most of that on Josh.   There were a couple of passes that could have been better but every QB has that in every game. 

 

So one thing is the Bills offense is still going to have to take it up a notch for these final 5 games.  They can't expect the defense to continually force the other team to punt all game long.  I'm hoping the Bills coaching staff doesn't try to beat the Cowboys and Patriots with the same game plans they used against the Dolphins and Broncos.

B+ seems about right. Would be in the As if not for the int. The kid is a baller, never seems to get rattled and his arrow is still pointing upwards. He’s learning with each game.

I think B+. 

 

Bad INT but one of those plays that just happens sometimes. Not the sort of play anyone should have any long term concerns over. I thought other than that he managed the game well and made a couple of really nice throws. 

Really odd play right? I havnt seen a decent replay. Any solid explanation for it other than maybe just a complete communication breakdown or freak weird trajectory? Hard to get real upset about it.... just seemed real odd

Was an RPO and my view was he was just a little bit late getting to the read when his eyes came up. When Josh does that his correction tends to be to rely on his arm strength and put a bit more on it and I think that is what he tried to do and it just sailed in the wind. One of those things.

B?  That touch throw over one of the best CBs in the league to Brown for a TD merited an easy A alone...terrible evaluation 

The touch pass to Beasley was also a pretty throw.?

B

Clean game by him, he is looking more comfortable with the latest changes on offense, less Lee Smith & DiMarco, and more 11 personnel groupings and with Kroft seeing more playing time.  Keep feeding Motor and Gore and we're good.

 

He had a bad interception, but overall a good day decision making wise. Beasley and Brown had a drop each that could have extended a couple of drives in the third QTR.

Both TD passes were great, the one to Beasly, he knew he had to wait for Beasley to break the post route and took big hit while delivering a perfect ball.

The pass to Smoke was beautiful and it's something we were waiting for all year, I can't believe the refs ruled it an incompletion.

He’s right, he tried to high point it to Brown, it was against the wind and it sailed, but keep the hate going?

Hate? Because I said it was an awful pick, gave him full credit for shaking it off, and called it a solid performance?

 

If that's "hate," I just don't know what to say other than we live in a very sensitive society.

I'd like to think our own team would know the snapcount.

At any rate, going no huddle + Daboll in the box seems to be the way to go.

 

B+

The greatest thing that happened to the Bills is keeping Dabol from breathing down Josh's neck. Getting him upstairs was long overdue. The hard snap count should be used no more than once a game. We butchered time management to end the first half but I've sort of come to expect it. The defense still carries this team but Josh is making strides. Get this kid more weapons next year and the 2020 Bills will be deadly.

Hopefully thats something they work on some more.  Bills can't just expect every team they play to struggle offensively.
