Juice_32 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I'm in the minority but I loved the lateral when Josh tried it and a still love it. Maybe I'm just too tormented by the ghosts of Edwards, EJ, Tyrod, etc. Gimme a QB with some balls. It's entertainment. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There you go getting agrees I’ve again. If you don’t think there’s a difference between Pat Mahomes missing a no look pass badly and Josh Allen missing that pass to brown badly I don’t know what to say. It’s NOT the same thing. If Mahomes was looking, we wouldn’t be talking about it. It would’ve been a TD. He’s the best player in the league. He can do whatever he wants. He’s completed no look passes before. He’s a magician with his arm. When Allen can reach Mahomes greatness, people won’t be bashing him either. Mahomes has earned it. Josh has not. Don’t be so butt hurt because people bash your QB and don’t bash super bowl mvps and league mvps Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Should allen have done it? No. But if Knox catches it and runs it down to the five, Allen is a hero. dude if Knox gets to the 5 he’s not going down 😆 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brady threw into triple coverage and it looked obvious to me that it was a throwaway. Mahomes was closer to his target and he was looking the other way. I’m not bagging on Josh. I’m just saying, that the comparisons aren’t viable imo. Oh, I didn't mention Allen. I was only talking about Mahomes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ngbills Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Jackson has won an MVP. Mahomes threw 50 TD's in one season. He threw for 5000 yards in a season. Josh has thrown 32 TD's and ~5000 yards in his career and sub 60% completion rate. And we are crying he gets criticized for bad plays more than those guys? That is how it goes in any sport. Tre White gives up a TD he is given much more slack than Levi Wallace right? If it is Levi this board would be screaming to bench Levi. White gets some slack because he has earned it. And it actually is warranted. I can guarantee in many less attempts Allen has missed open WR at a much higher percentage than Mahomes, Brees, Brady, etc. Josh has a decent number of those in many less passes. So yes, they will be pointed out until he is not that guy anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DabillsDaBillsDaBills Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 Others have already pointed out the game situation: 0-0 in 1st quarter of week 1 vs down by 3 with 1 minute left in the 4th quarter of a playoff game I'll point out that the play itself isn't all that similar either. Ingram is a Running Back, and was pretty clearly an option for Jackson to pitch to on this play. Knox is a Tight End, and was never an option to pitch to. Last point: Jacksons lateral hit Ingram in the hands. Josh completely missed Knox. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 2 hours ago, Protocal69 said: In the Browns Vs Ravens game on Sunday Lamar Jackson attempted the SAME type of no look lateral pass Josh Allen attempted to get to Knox in the playoff game. It was not the same type of play at all. That was a designed option from the moment the ball was snapped and it was the RB's fault for not being ready. If he had been executing properly, he probably would have scored. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mat68 Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 He the wild inaccurate Qb. He may never get past the narrative around his draft breakdown. A few weeks throwing the ball over the yard and winning helps. I think it comes down to the 4 primetime games. He puts on a performance like Sunday without the fumbles the overall media may change there toon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mykidsdad Posted September 15, 2020 Share Posted September 15, 2020 I think Lamar pitched it on an actual called play.

What that has to do with Josh yesterday I have no idea. But when you have a paranoia about the world having an anti Buffalo agenda maybe conflating points helps these guys feel better. I have said it numerous times this offseason but Bills fans are really gonna have to get used to what it is like to be a fan of a team that is actually good. The BBFS is real.
