Josh Allen - week TWO report card

Recommended Posts

WEEK ONE: B+

 

WEEK TWO: A+

 

24/35 completion - 417 yards, 4 TDs - O INT 0 fumbles - 18 yards rushing

 

I will keep this one simple and to the point. I am 38 years old and this is the best performance by a Bills QB that I can remember. Here are some stand out moments to me:

 

1) His 16 yard rush where he actually slid to protect himself. I was so happy I even texted my buddy about it.

2) The missed TD throw late to Brown, it seemed he got on the same page with him and found it a few plays later.

3) For once, our offense took on the task of winning the game for us. It was always the defense bailing us out, but perhaps we finally got to the level where we can relieve some pressure from our defense and win a shoot out.

4) "Squeaky wheel" management - I doubt our team culture has/will have an issue but I liked how he distributed the ball to our WRs:

- Diggs - 8 catches 153 yards TD

- Smoke - 4 catches 82 yards TD

- Beez - 5 catches 70 yards

 

My main question after this game: will the national narrative change on Josh Allen? Will he finally get the credit he deserves?

 

GO BILLS!

 

**fun fact: Josh Allen is the first player in Bills history with 400 passing yards, 4 TDs and 0 INTs in a game!

Another fun fact: Allen is the 4th QB in NFL history to throw for 700+ yards with 6+ TDs and no INTs in the first 2 weeks of the season. The other 3? Manning, Brady and Mahomes.

 

Pretty good company to be in.

I think it was the very next play. You could see Allen motioning to go up the field and talking to Brown in the huddle. Reading lips I think it was something like "Smoke baby, you're supposed to go after that first move. Try it again, it'll totally work!" *

 

* I may be taking liberties with the interpretation

His physical gifts have been apparent to everyone (even those who don't like Allen). But his ability to accept coaching and to improve is seriously impressive.

 

The season is far from over. He will have bumps along the way. But we have a QB here that will evaluate himself and make changes to his game when it's needed for improvement. I just can't stress enough how important that is to any quarterback, but especially one as physically gifted as Josh Allen. He works his @ss off fixing the negative parts of his game.


I can't say enough good things about this young man. So impressed; whatever happens to his career from here on out.

He fumbled again so A and no +

Got lucky the play was blown dead.

 

So he  did NOT fumble. Play was blown dead, ergo NO fumble. So does he get the + back?

He was fantastic and our receivers. Dawson Knox had a brutal fumble but D picked him up. Travis Kelce didn't break out until his 3rd season. Dont be too hard on the kid. Gilliam otoh a great moment for him. Our coaching staff challenges our guys, doesn't call out anyone player but calls out a position group and they respond. Thats great coaching imho


Knox had the fumble then the drop on a catchable pass. I want to believe he’ll be decent but he gives a lot of reasons to think otherwise.

As a Bills fan I don’t want or need acceptance from the ESPN/Disney’s of the world. They talk out of their ass half the time anyway. We know what we have baby.
