Why You Shouldn’t Feel Completely Dejected Over Josh Allen’s Poor Performance

Wow. Looked like Peters got it clean on the game broadcast replay.

 

Now sometimes still shots can be manipulated (not by you, just by timing a pause just right), but that does make me want to see it again.

 

I just rewatched it.

 

The ball isn't at Brown's hands in this shot.

 

In the next frame it looks like Peters knocks the ball away. 

 

He certainly celebrated like he got a hand on it.

Nah

 

 

Both receivers had to dive to try and catch the ball at full stretch.

 

This is supposed to show accuracy?

 

Now post the throws to Brown, Foster and Knox in the first quarter....

I posted the video from twitter in one of these threads somewhere.  It has like 3 different angles of the play.  It is very fast and hard to tell but I paused it a million times over and over on each angle.  He didn't touch the ball IMO.  Obviously they are paused shots but its pretty clear.  Maybe on coaches film we can slow mo it for a definite but I am unware of any way to slow mo a vid posted to twitter.

LOL. You are a caricature at this point. Both of these throws are exactly where they need to be.

Take your own advice and cut the hyperbole.

 

His mobility is good. His accuracy when he gets to drive the ball is good. His decision making has got better.

 

His deep ball is one of the worst I've ever seen. The ball routinely lands no where near his target. 

 

People laughed at EJ Manuel for throwing the ball out of bounds in a practice into a tent.

 

Allen had Robert Foster running free down the field for a touchdown and threw the ball out of bounds yesterday.

 

My hyperbole?

 

What you've said about him repeatedly is out there for all to see. You literally called him a horrible football player at Wyoming.

 

From "he's horrible" pre draft to "he'll never be accurate" last year to "he'll never beat a good defense" this year to "well his deep ball still sucks" now, you've seemed to have an agenda from day 1. In this very post you're comparing him to EJ Manuel. EJ. Manuel. Right here.

Oh FFS the Beasley throw is perfect.

 

You're out to lunch.

You can't honestly think this is true.

 

Right where they need to be would be in the bucket so the receiver can run after the catch.

 

They shouldn't have to dive for the football just to get tackled if they can hang on.

 

Now, please post the three deep passes from the 1st quarter. Be objective and post them all.

As a Wyoming fan, he did beat Boise State and San Diego State at home, both of whom were ranked at the time, in 2016.  He also narrowly lost to San Diego State in the MWC Championship Game.  Not the NFL, obviously, but they were big games- I was at all three of them!

I am sure those were great games and they are big wins for Wyoming. I was speaking more to the noise and excitement. I am maybe way off base but Josh seems so hyped up. Just needs to play inside himself. He looked great against Dallas when they were cheering against him. Who knows, I could be reading into it. Just want Josh to be the guy he has shown he can be for entire games. He won’t ever be mistake free, no QB  is.

The winning play in the first Pats game iirc was a very similar route from White against Milano, thrown by Brady in the exact same place. He made the catch and Singletary didn't. 

 

Only a simpleton looks at those plays and says 'QB isn't accurate'

Nah, a dude with a raging agenda could do it too.

Singletary wasn't even able to get two hands on the football.

Depends...have you used that adjective to describe everything about him since his days at Wyoming?

 

Because if the answer is yes, then it's going to be really difficult to have it taken seriously when you use it now.

 

Just an FYI after the Cowboys game that poster had two football posts the entire week.  He already has 30 football posts after yesterday.  One of few guys that don't like Allen but haven't really posted anything for quite sometime until yesterday.  Not quite sure what that means but....

Yeah cause he jumped too early and didn't run through the ball. Just go away, I realize you only post comments after losses but it's getting on my ***** nerves already

 

LOL

 

It's always someone else's fault with Allen.

 

Post the videos for the three first quarter deep balls.

 

I can't wait to hear the excuses for why those throws landed nowhere near the receivers.

I'm not sure two stills tell you everything about the play. 

Irregardless of that, the fact is, we see WR and TE make completions on those kind of accurate contested throws every week

We seldom see our guys make it happen though

Edit: here is a still with different timing.  It appears to me that Peters got the back of his hand under and in front of the ball and deflected it forward (2nd picture).  Based upon this, I believe the ball was defensed by Peters, but my point that other WR on other teams do sometimes manage to haul in these high DOD, well-defended catches, and I can't remember the last time I saw one by a Buffalo Bill player, let alone a WR.

Disagree.  Watch the video I posted somewhere around here.  There is a better angle of the play.  Almost a front shot of Brown.  Its Browns own hands that knock the ball away.  Even on this angle look at the placement of the defenders arm.  It is outside of Browns arms.  These screengrabs are after the Brown already pushed the ball forward with his own hands.  Its fast but pretty clear in the other angle if you keep pausing.  I could be wrong.  We will know for sure with coaches film when it can be slowed down but that's what I see.

 

If you look at this picture vs your shot you see the defender arm in the same position it is now with both Browns hands on the ball.  There is no way the defender in a split second brought his arm inside Browns hands and knocked it away...

There's a few that come to mind. Must be fun people to be around.
