TPS Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 11 minutes ago, Logic said: I re-watched the game and came away even MORE impressed with Allen. Why? Because he was making off-schedule plays just as regularly and effectively as on-schedule plays. He ran the offense with command, poise, and precision, and on the few occasions where the 49ers called the exact right play and/or had him stopped dead to rights, he just rolled out and made something happen. He did this again and again and again. Must be very demoralizing for the defense. The smoothness/efficiency with which he ran the offense when things went right on a given play, combined with his effectiveness in improvising time and time again when things DIDN'T go right, made me feel that this was his best game of the season. The caliber of opponent and opposing defensive coordinator and the late season, primetime slot add to the impressiveness of his game. 32/40 for 375 and 4 TDs isn't just a good game. It's an absolutely AMAZING game, and it came against a good defense in a big spot. If you have the chance to re-watch the game, I suggest you do it. It's a real pleasure. Very, very optimistic about the present and future of Josh Allen after that game. Another thing about this game was his start. There have been times when he is visibly nervous at the start of big games and it shows in his throws. He came out confident and shmokin! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in his brain obviously but im not sure nervous is the right word...I think he comes out jacked up to have a big game and gets a little overexcited when hes got a guy open and is about to make a big play. Dude looks as confident as anybody to me even when he's making mistakes lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LABILLBACKER Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Last night against a top 10 defense he had his best game of his career. I've never seen him so locked in. Hey John Brown, hurry up and join the party. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He pointed at his backfield mates like they were supposed to be there. But I think that was a blown coverage on Sherman. That was one of my favorite plays in the game. Sherman didn't blow his coverage. That was just a great QB toying with a great CB. Sherman was trying to fool Allen into throwing the ball to Beasley so he could break on it. Allen saw that, hesitated for a second, and made Sherman think he was going to Beasley. Then when he moved underneath Allen just readjusted and tossed to a wide open Gabe Davis. If anyone blew the coverage it was the safety. But Allen made the play happen because he immediately understood how to manipulate Sherman. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Allen fixes his accuracy by fixing his mechanics and somehow he can actually throw it harder now, it's ***** ridiculous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One of our best players would come out way too amped up, and coach one time said he looked like a horny pony. He'd take a couple of good hits and then settle in and score 5-10 goals. 42 minutes ago, Warcodered said: Edited December 9, 2020 by DrDawkinstein 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Phil Simms on PFT said that Richard Sherman was a "QB peeker"! In that now that he is older he watches more film and the QB during games so he makes a move when he sees what the QB is gonna do. Stating he got an INT from Rams QB Jared Goff by doing that. Josh Allen faked him outta his cleats with that little shoulder fake pump and he just stood there as Gabe Davis caught that TD. Just awesome a 3rd year showing that much Moxy! Speaking of Fake outta his cleats... kinda like Stefon Diggs does nearly every play to opposing DB's. What a great Buffalo offense. I don't care how many catches Justin Jefferson makes as I doubt he will ever be as good as Diggs is with his routes and ability to juke the DBs attempting to cover him. It's almost comical on how badly he makes them look. What an awesome trade for Buffalo! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hapless Bills Fan Posted December 9, 2020 Share Posted December 9, 2020 Didn't see this elsewhere. On Hyde's INT off Aiyuk, Klein played a key role. He basically enabled the pick. Aiyuk goes down for a catch and deflects the ball, juggling it. He had Tre'day beat, but Tre is right there to tackle and hinder his catch. Then Klein comes roaring in and punches the deflected ball up in the air with arm, then makes an athletic leaping roll to avoid Aiyuk and White. Hyde says "Come to Papa!" and tucks it away like he knows what he's doing. Hyde then has a great evasive run, reminding us why he was our #1 returner until Roberts. Hepicks up some good blocks from Zimmer (2x), Epenesa, Klein and others, and makes alert use of them. That pick and the subsequent return was really a bunch of alert, heads-up play from the entire defensive unit. 5 hours ago, K-9 said: Low man wins every time. That was textbook. But I’m still sorry to see him playing the 1 so often. He's not playing it that much, that I've seen. It's usually Butler or Harrison Phillips at 1TDT (from what I've seen). But Frazier is doing a lot to mix things up, shift DL around, and create confusion about who each OL gotta block and how they gotta block them.

LOL Josh has said that he listens to Elvis and other low-key songs to try to keep himself calm before games. He said in an interview with Mark Sanchez on "Fourth and Forever" that he likes to take a few hits early in games and that steadies him down.
