Grading beyond the stats tonight...

 

On a Sunday Night Football game, where all sorts of records and trends showed that we were not supposed to win this game, Josh Allen helped overcome various obstacles, stayed poised, and lead this team to a W.

 

He had one bad throw that Chris Colinsworth just picked apart, and yet there were many bad drops that could have extended drives.

 

The INT was off Coleʻs hands. Was it high? Sure. Was it catchable? Sure.

 

Fumbles from Devin, Duck throwing prayers and having them answered... none of that seemed to rattle Josh.

 

He was a man on a mission and tonight it was mission accomplished.

 

We are in the playoffs bay bayyyyyyyy!

Yeah I would go around the C to C+ 

But I give him respect he’s got a real knack for making the plays in the 4th and sometimes that’s all that matters. 
He is literally his own worst enemy almost every game. If he ever gets a grip on that footwork and the easier throws his game will go to a whole new level

C+/B-
 

Positives: Clutch, never rattled on a big stage and overcame poor plays around him. 
 

Negatives:  A couple inaccurate throws and a coaching game-plan that took the ball out of his hands.

A-

 

When it mattered most, Allen came through big. 

 

With this offense and considering where Allen is in his development the stats mean nothing. 

 

Two drives earned him the A-.

 

1)  After the bad punt we faced 3rd & 20 and Allen gained 12 yards on a nice run.  Then on 4th & 8 he had a perfect throw to Brown for the 1st down.  That kept the drive alive and we got a TD.

 

2)  After tying the game Allen had 2 fantastic throws midway through the 4th quarter to take the Bills 70 yards for the winning TD. 

 

Playing on the road against an elite D is not going to boost your stats.  What matters is what happens at key moments in the game.  And again, Allen came through.

 

He now has 27 total TD's and 13 total TO's.  That's really good.  And those are the numbers that matter.  Yardage, not so much.

That's crazy.  The defense gets an A.  Allen gets a C+. 

 

The pick was all on him and wasn't his only bad throw of the night.  Brown saved him on back to back deep throws, once catching it and once preventing a pick.

 

 


Brown did what most WRs in the NFL do for their QB.  You’re just not used to seeing it.  
 

The pick was 90% on Beasley.

I'll go B-

 

Drops by the WR's early were really bad. Yes, high ball to Beasley but that's a ball that many WR's catch. Receivers need to make plays for their QB.

 

Did enough to win. Looked pretty effective at times.

The pick wasn't all on Allen.  I would say it was 75% on Beasley and 25% on Allen.  Was the ball thrown high?  Yes.  But so what.  That pass is caught most of the time in the NFL.  I like Beasley and think he's been a great addition to the Bills but size matters and in some situations we just have to live with the disadvantage that his size brings.
