rayray808 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 WEEK ONE: B+ WEEK TWO: A+ WEEK THREE: B+ 24/33 - 73% completion - 311 yards - 4 TDs 1 INT - 8 yards rushing - 1 rushing TD - 1 fumble Before the pitchforks come out regarding my grade let me make one thing clear: Josh had some really bad plays that could/should have lost us the game... we still won, but it does not erase those head scratching, game crippling plays. You take those away? He has another A+ game. All I ask is you don't let the flashy fantasy scores blind your assessment of his play this week. With that said, here is what I loved: - Flawless first half of football. He was in command at all times and showed franchise qualities that he is indeed the dude. - Trusting his WR's and spreading the ball all around the field - a mix of fastballs and loft change ups - his touch is unreal right now (Diggs laser in the endzone vs Ramsey was amazing) - He is our offense. 5 TD's total most importantly... - when things were bad, and we knew it was Josh Allen time, deep down I knew he would somehow pull it off. It reminded me of watching Brett Favre back in the day, or even Rodgers now. The 3rd down and long to Beez was just amazing. Then to follow it up with a game winner was must see TV! As Josh progresses and starts becoming weekly MVP talk, we need to be more critical and hopefully clean up the head scratching moments. Yes, maybe the INT should not have counted, but it did and lead to a complete snowball effect of a Rams comeback. Yes, when he avoids the blitz he sometimes makes nice throws down the field however yelling at a ref after a play and taking sacks in moments where we absolutely cannot allow it just cannot happen if we want to win playoff games. Need proof? Watch our last playoff game. Overall, Josh is playing at an incredible level and as a Bills fan I could not be happier. I invested tons of $$ in his rookie cards 3 years ago and right now those prices have absolutely sky rocketed. People are starting to believe, and I am sure networks are calling the league right now trying to get more Josh Allen on TV. B+ vs A-, who cares. We should all be celebrating as Bills fans. We have waited a LOOOONG TIME for this. GO BILLS! 4 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Penfield45 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) A+ bailed us out. without Allen this is a total blow out. shouldn't even have had an interception. this is a game we get dominated in last season.

Bangarang Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 (edited) A 5 TDs and a game winning drive are the biggest factors here. The INT was complete crap. The only thing I’ll ding him for is being shaky in the pocket towards the end. Edited September 27, 2020 by Bangarang 11 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

VW82 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 A He's been the same player every week getting off to a good start, then making a few mistakes in the second half before a strong finish. 3-0 and Josh is biggest reason. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rigotz Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 A+ Fourth quarter comeback. Five touchdowns. Overcame an awful call and a momentum shift. Bailed his defense out. Oh, and his O-Line was getting absolutely destroyed at the end of the game and he still made it happen on several third and long plays. Did he make a few mistakes? Yes. That doesn’t invalidate all of the points above. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Numark3 Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 To explain why your grades are so bad. If Allen replicates these performances every week, he is the undisputed MVP. If your performances are on an MVP level, they shouldn't be Bs. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bobobonators Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 Ill say this: Allen in a 2 minute drive to win the game and i have full confidence he’ll do something. Thats all that matters. We have our franchise. No point in grading him anymore. Hes not being replaced. Sit back and enjoy the next 15yrs. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

loveorhatembillsfan4life Posted September 27, 2020 Share Posted September 27, 2020 I’ll give him an A. Came through when we really needed him and that’s what matters. Made some Josh moments and I hope he continues to learn. I will forever asterisk the int. Now I may have crazy thinking here but the one run near the end of the game were josh tried to toss it to McKenzie was it ? instead of him dropping to the ground, I think our guys need to be better ready for playground ball. Coach these guys up to understand josh May attempt something this at any moment lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Again, your grading system is objectively wrong if you are grading someone on average below an A when he is pacing for a record breaking season. Obviously, he won't keep up with pace. Just funny a 5 TD game where he carried the entire team on his back, is a B+ because of some bad plays. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
