transplantbillsfan Posted January 28, 2021 Author Share Posted January 28, 2021 I'm obviously a disappointed with the way the season ended, like all of us. But in the end, we accomplished more than I hoped we would at the beginning of the season. I just wanted a playoff win and to know that Josh Allen is our next Franchise QB. Well, we got 2 playoff wins and we look like we'll be a legit contender for years to come because not only is Josh Allen a Franchise QB, but he was an Elite QB this year and there's still room for growth. I think we just ran into too many obstacles in our last game. Buffalo wins or loses with Josh Allen and all of his weapons were injured. Davis with the ankle, Diggs with his "oblique," Brown with the lingering knee injury, and Beasely with a fractured fibula. Would we have beaten KC with a completely healthy WR corps? I don't know. But I really do think the injuries played a role as KC's CBs blanketed our entire WR corps with tight, physical coverage the entire game. I wish Josh Allen would have scrambled more in that game and this year, honestly. I've said it many times and I'll say it again: cut out the designed QB runs, keep the RPOs, but encourage Allen to scramble if he breaks the pocket and his WRs aren't open. He so often makes fantastic plays outside the pocket passing the football, and he should continue to do that, but there were a number of times this year (and in the KC game, in particular) where he had the opportunity to run and forced the ball into an area he shouldn't have. I understand I'm being nitpicky. It's also nice to have a QB playing at such a high level we can be that way. I really hope Beane gets creative this offseason with Allen's new contract so that we can also make sure we upgrade our OL, TE and RB corps, which we definitely need to do. Kansas City showed us what can happen when you have TWO Elite weapons on the field at the same time on Sunday. Let's get another one somehow to complement Diggs. Is it September, yet? 7 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the first off season since 1995 we go into a season knowing we have a franchise QB that gives you a chance every game. With room still to grow. The first one since 1995 we aren't worried at all about the position. Literally every WR he's played with have now had career years with him. Remember the nonsense Joe B was stirring in August? "Bills may move on from Allen if real progress isn't shown." Lol. Look I believe you have to prove yourself every year.....every game you need to want to win. And that's what I think separates Josh from almost everyone. He is the hates losing more than he loves winning guy. That's the Kobe/Jordan/Brady gene. Please don't ever lose that Josh. Keep tweaking the O it's going to be unstoppable. Get the D right and we'll be back in this championship game. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This point needs to be repeated over and over again. Beasley AND Diggs had the best seasons of their careers. Gabe Davis, a rookie, catches a boatload of TD's. A guy the Bills lose on waivers catches a TD in the game that clinched the Bills a division title. When looking at who is and who is not an elite QB talent the ability to improve the play of others may be a distinguishing factor. In Allen's rookie & second seasons he showed he could do that (Foster anyone) but this year he took it to ridiculous extremes. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed with the vaccines ramping up, I don’t see why they wouldn’t increase significantly next year. Josh is pretty special with one correction from one of the attachments. He had 46 TD’s as he had a receiving TD in addition to the 8 rushing and 37 passing. Isnt nice to know we won’t be one of the teams calling Houston for Watson. I haven’t felt that way since Kelly.

I don't know that I want him throwing it so much the way Russell Wilson does because I think those wildly lofted balls can get Allen into trouble in the Buffalo winds, but his "Go-route" pass definitely needs work. The funny thing is his "intermediate" passes are fantastic and a lot of those passes for any other QB would be considered deep balls.

As to your first point, although a bit dated and deep form writing from 2015, you & others here may find the article from Peter King interesting where he walks through Arians and Palmer (Jordan’s brother) with their game plan prep and install for a typical week, which also utilized the VR headset system called STRIVR, allowing a QB to get additional looks from practice, a tech that I wonder if Josh also uses now in the way you describe? https://www.si.com/nfl/2015/11/18/nfl-carson-palmer-arizona-cardinals-inside-game-plan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted January 29, 2021 Share Posted January 29, 2021 2019 - Allen wasn’t good enough and this team was carried by its defense. 2020 - Allen did everything I wanted to see in franchise qb. Won games with his arm. Came back and won games when the defense struggled instead of 14-7. He shown the most improvement of almost any athlete I’ve ever seen in any sport. I had very real doubts on Allen and would on the next similar prospect. I truly believe Allen is a complete unicorn and McBeane are absolute geniuses for finding him. I’m beyond thrilled that he is my team’s qb. Great leader and guy who became a beast this year. He has all my respect and I will not spent a second criticizing him. The Buffalo Bills have a legit franchise quarterback. Only in a pandemic!!! 2 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was one of those people that have been on the Josh Allen bandwagon since draft night. Ridiculed many times for pointing out all the significant improvements in short bursts. I never understood why others just didnt want to see what was right there in terms of all the significant improvements Josh kept making in short windows. The jump just in the work he put in leading up to the draft made a dramatic difference. His second half of rookie year was leaps and bounds better than his first half before he got hurt. Last year, his deep ball was atrocious first half the season but started to significantly improve second half. And if not for so many dropped passes he would have been a 60% passer last year, not to mention the early season deep ball woes had not been there when he was like 1-30 on deep passes. The kid just kept getting better and better in front of our eyes, but some wanted to hold on to the doubts to the bitter end I guess. I mean his accuracy took a big jump all over the field last year except for his deep ball. This year shouldn't have been a surprise, many of us said all off season he was going to be well into the 60's this year, especially after trading for Diggs. At least I am $100 richer as one poster bet me he wouldn't break 60% this year and he paid it a week early even with enthusiasm as he was thrilled Josh proved his doubts wrong. The kid is just special...cant wait to watch his career blossom even more next year and every year after! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One other thing: I would hope J commita fully to a fitness/nutrition pgm worthy of an elite-level athlete. Do it now: it will be $ in the bank as he gets older and the athleticism diminishes a bit. Do I have evidence there is a lack thereof? Not a ton, but his body looks like it could benefit from plus 5-10 lbs of lean muscle mass. Nutritional evidence: mostly anecdotal, such as discussion w HP when they were driving to West Herr; what I've seen him eating, etc. And no, I don't want a TB12 plan which, in any event, was "stolen" fr Steve Gundy and his unproven (imo) lectin theory of inflammation. Otherwise, not a bad player. I suggest a low-ball new deal, just to keep him around the facility to help Barkley develop. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FeelingOnYouboty Posted January 30, 2021 Share Posted January 30, 2021 Inexplicable bad sacks because he’s trying too hard to stay alive and the occasional fumble are the last two things he needs to clean up. He can still be confused pre-snap with some coverages but he’s come on leaps and bounds in that department and he’s starting to beat teams with his brain too. I fully expect this part of his game to develop too as he’s such a young QB in his development. Spags and the Chiefs kind’ve owned him with the late disguises but he’s shown an ability to see things a few times and then solve it. He had no idea how to play v zone teams earlier in the year and by the end he was calmly throwing 300+ yards v those teams. We have a special talent and I don’t think he’s the type of guy that is going to just rest on his laurels after a great year. Another year with Daboll and Dorsey will do wonders for him. He was a Top 5 QB in the NFL by Year 3. A top 3 MVP candidate by Year 3. Even the biggest homer couldn’t predict that. And he still has room to grow. I’m in awe. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
