Simon Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 That strike to Knox early in the 2nd qrtr was my favorite of the game and showcased Allen's massive leap forward in a single play. Sell the inside handoff hard to hold both LB's, immediately move the safety out of the lane with his eyes and then a quick release 30yrd laser right on Knox's hands. It's a great example of the total command of the entire field he's been showing for a couple months now. https://www.buffalobills.com/video/what-an-arm-josh-allen-hits-dawson-knox-with-a-24-yard-strike-bills-at-patriots 15 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I just...don't understand how the ball gets to Knox's hands so quickly. I keep watching it and it doesn't make physical sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Running left, stops, throws a strike across his body to only where Diggs can catch it. I don't think anyone else in today's NFL can make that throw (yeah, I seddit!). 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gobills404 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Not to mention he had to get it up and over the linebacker without giving mccourty enough time to make a play on it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mykidsdad Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 The most amazing part was how well josh thre the ball considering how much stickum he had to coat the ball with for knox to hang on. 8 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 So much to love about what Allen is doing. I don't even know if he's hit his peak yet. The level of quarterbacking we're witnessing is something special. Command is such a perfect word for it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GoBills808 Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Mine was the TD to Diggs on slant. At top of his drop he reads safety shading Davis deep and immediately switches to throw into Diggs route for YAC and TD. Top level QB stuff 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Knox seems like last year Josh just starts off way too amped up. Once he settled in he had a good game. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Wiz Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 Josh Allen's development in 1 play is his 3rd TD to Diggs. Had pressure, running sideways to the far left and rifled it in there. The best part of that play, before taking that shot he took a 1/4 of a second to hop and rotate his hips to get is feet under him in the right position and then let it fly. That was the first thing I noticed when they showed the replay. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assumed he was just throwing the ball away and lo and behold a TD I live in LA so up until the last few weeks have not seen much of him What I see now makes me shake my head in disbelief - he is making throws look routine that are uber-difficult. He looks Rodgers or Mahomes out there 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rocky Landing Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 What struck me about that play was that it was shortly after Knox had egregiously dropped the pass in the end zone. It's a mark of great leadership (and I assume this is on McD, and Daboll, as well) to put this kind of trust in someone who had screwed up as badly as that drop was. The winning culture of this team is remarkable. They hold each other accountable, but they also trust, and support each other to move on from their mistakes. Such a strong team.

Success Posted December 29, 2020 Share Posted December 29, 2020 I wouldn't trade Allen for Mahomes right now. I'm not sure if that's homer talk, but I feel like Allen has a higher ceiling. Given the trajectory of his improvement and the skills he has, there just doesn't seem to be a limit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No it makes perfect sense the only thing we haven't seen yet is postseason play but I'm not worried. But it makes perfect sense not to trade something that's working great for someone that's working great somewhere else. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As soon as I saw that, I knew he saw something and was going to capitalize. Did you notice how long he kept his eyes on the post after he gave the safety that little pump? I swear he intentionally moved that safety with his eyes for almost a full second to keep him out of the third he knew he was going to lead Diggs into on the cross. He's not just reading it at this point, he's already progressed to that uncommon level where he's actively manipulating the field. It's a rare and beautiful treat to watch this incredible (and maybe even unprecedented) progression happening right in front of us every week. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a rare and beautiful treat to watch this incredible (and maybe even unprecedented) progression happening right in front of us every week. It's an incredible ascension. But he showed a lot of signs last year. He's just a unique player and talent. And his ceiling is equal to Mahomes, and maybe more because he's bigger, faster, and a better runner. Rolling out, Josh is insane now. Mahomes has won it all so we cannot say Josh is his equal, but this year, Josh has been as good. I can't even imagine how good he might be with Kelce, Hill, Sammy, the other WR plus the running game. He needs to play well in playoffs but there's no reason to think he can't or won't. He's been as good as Mahomes this year. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
