Recommended Posts

WEEK ONE: B+

WEEK TWO: A+

WEEK THREE: B+

WEEK FOUR: A-

WEEK FIVE: B-

WEEK SIX: D

WEEK SEVEN: D+

 

WEEK EIGHT: A

 

11/18 - 61% completion - 154 yards - 1 INT - 23 yards rushing - 1 TD

 

The good: We beat the Pats and Josh Allen was the reason. We ran the ball well today but that is because the Patriots had to respect the pass and the arm of our franchise QB. His audible play call to John Brown for that quick pass was awesome next level stuff!

 

The bad: The INT was a miscommunication with Diggs, and Stefon was event seen on the sideline telling Josh "my bad". That game swung the momentum and brought the Pats back in it, but again it was not Josh Allens fault at all so it shouldn't count.

 

The ugly: Gabe Davis not being able to catch what should have been the game winning TD. Josh threw is right on target but Davis couldn't catch it. Maybe the wind caught it towards the end but I will just chalk it up as a rookie mistake that he will learn from.

 

Glass half full: We beat the Pats. We are 4-0 in the division and sitting pretty nice in the standings. I am guessing NE goes to Stidham next week and honestly I think the Dolphins are better with Fitz so let's see how they take the rest of the season. The division is ours for the taking. Let's just get better each week as we head into the playoffs.

 

Glass half empty: Schedule gets tough from here. Real tough. Can we make it out while improving in the games we lose?

 

GO BILLS!

Will go B as the O stumbled a lot in the first half. Josh wasn't asked to put the entire team on his shoulders but executed when he had to. The INT was on Diggs but the induced sack sucked and was Allen's bonehead play of the game. Solid day and another W. 

 

 

Yep that was probably his worst play of the day, and it stood out because he's usually really on the ball knowing his situation and surroundings.

OK I really don't understand your grading now. Usually I argue you are too hard on the grading or I agrees with you I think one of the weeks. Now you give him an A? I mean he wasn't terrible but you think he played his second best game this week? Entirely disagree.

I would say C. Great second half but a suspect first half. At a minimum the Bills should have had a 10 point lead in the first half with the ball to start half two. But this team just couldn't put much together other than the one TD drive and then the one other time the offense got deep it resulted in a turnover.

If we’re striving for “A” performances from Josh Allen and if this was one of them then we need to look for another QB. 11-18 for 154 yards and that’s an A? No way. He was a C at best today. 
 

I still think he’s the franchise, but he was average at best today. 

The narrative was supposed to be that he "made a huge step in the offseason" and the single most important thing that occurred with this team in our first 4 games was the offense.  Finally, we had the elite passer and high power offense we have wanted since Jim Kelly was around.  And it felt good!  

 

That's all gone now and it's been that way for a month.

 

Is it going to come back?  When?

 

 Which Josh Allen is the rule and which is the exception to the rule?

im not sure if its josh or daboll. They need to develop the underneath / dink and dunk game / quick hitters/ crossers  more. Youre not going to hit long balls in bad weather. Especially against pass rush / blitz / 3rd down.
