What a game he had Lamar played great, but I can't believe how soft the Colts were towards the end of the game. It was honestly pathetic despite them being shorthanded. What happened to the aggression that slowed him down for 2 1/2 quarters? Also lost in the outcome was Wentz of all people threw for 402 yards. Not much defense was being played on either side including the vaunted Baltimore unit. Edited October 12, 2021 by buffblue Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GunnerBill Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 (edited) Lamar won that game basically on his own. The Ravens have no running game, their defense couldn't stop the rush and despite fumbling at the 1 Lamar got himself up off the canvas and won his team the game. That is the best he has played since his MVP year. The book on stopping Baltimore has been stop the conventional run game (ie. the backs) and take away the middle of the field. The Colts did the first and did a reasonable job of the 2nd except in the redzone. This game showed signs of progress from Lamar as a passer.

Yeah, I will never understand this. It's like it takes too much effort to try on defense, so teams stop when they get big leads. Someone on the radio yesterday said matter of fact that the Bills simplified their scheme against KC once they got up in the game. I do not get it.

They also didn’t say he was down they said it was an illegal coward pass. IMO it was a terrible call and gave the Ravens the win. I saw the replay he wasn’t touched when the ball came out.

A couple of us have fun calling him Lamont (which I will now stop), but other than that what has anyone done aside from point out what every other analyst has pointed out...namely, that he has not shown development in his passing ability that can offset teams scheming to stop the run. He took a huge step towards changing the narrative with that 2nd half last night. If "Bills fans" (since you want to lump everyone together) feel any particular bias against Lamar, it's probably because for the better part of two seasons Lamar got all of the publicity while Josh was routinely trashed, and I think most of us believe Josh is the better overall QB.

The Ravens are their own HOF kicker and the Colts awful kicker away from being 2-3 I definitely disagree with nobody else being close. I think Dak, Kyler, and Lamar all have a case to be made ahead of Henry. I think if the season ended today, Brady would probably win MVP, but it's a really muddled group at the top right now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

colin Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 lamar reminds me of mike vick or jeff george where he will have some really sloppy lack luster games, and will always have a few series where he looks like he doesn't belong (bills did that to him in the playoffs) but then just explodes for video game stats and highlight reel plays. i wouldn't want to be my team's super bowl chances on him, i think over a long season or playoff he will turn up bad at some point and you won't be able to continue, but i wouldn't want to face him in an elimination game either, cuz he can just hit that stride and plays outside of the normal scheme of things and makes the D look silly. if he played w a back like henry he'd be soooooo bad to play against.

They are just really well run top to bottom. Yep. Ravens had no business winning that game. Colts were the more desperate team and playing like their season was on the line. Ravens hung in their long enough before Lamar put them on their back. Lamar is hard not to root for. Similar to Josh. So many doubters because they don’t fit into the cookie cutter mold of what a successful NFL QB is supposed to do. They just go out there and ball and do their thing. And they both got picked by exactly the right organizations. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DCOrange Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 1 hour ago, ScottLaw said: Still don’t get why Bills fans hate Lamar so much… I think at least part of it is that when they were both in the draft, there was a very vocal community arguing that Lamar was an elite prospect and Allen sucked, and then Lamar came out and won MVP in his first season as a full-time starter while Allen was still being ripped apart by most people at the time. I viewed Lamar as the best prospect in the class that year but I was also high on Allen and I think the similarities between the two made it weird that it turned into such a polarizing argument.

muppy Posted October 12, 2021 Share Posted October 12, 2021 I didn't care for Frank Reich taking the losers stroll after the game last night. I root for he except when it is adverse in any way towards the Bills. He pastored a church here in socal for a while and I was a patient of the Chargers team dentist and was hoping I'd run into him there. Shoot never happened. I think Id be starstruck from his time In Buffalo lol Im a fan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh is non-traditional, in that he is a throwback. But you watch him play and you go, "oh Cam" or"that reminded me of Favre or Elway". Josh also has a super non-traditional path through college, and pro progression. Anybody who said they knew Josh would be the guy he is now is full of poo. He is an absolute one in a million story. The fact that he is playing the way he is given how he played in college and when he first came into the league is remarkable. Teams should not try and replicate it, it is a waste of time and resources. The dude is all moxy, all guts, a total dawg, and I love that I am here for it. Lamar does not really have any peers as a QB in the NFL, I think it makes it tough for people to wrap their head around whether he is good or bad. Would I trade Josh for Lamar? No absolutely not. But the guy is a great player in the league right now. Maybe not to you, but to the board, it does seem like it has become popular to parrot, "but he's just a running back" or, "not a good enough passer", like he is Tim Tebow or some nonsense. The guy is a proficient passer. Edited October 12, 2021 by Mango 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And people do that to their own Bills players, but you have no problem with that. Just Lamar. I do agree that he is a top QB in his own unique playing style. I still don't think he is that great of a passer. I don't think he will ever win a super bowl.

Do I think you are more likely to win one with a Josh Allen or a Justin Herbert or a Mahomes? Yes. But am I going to say I don't think Lamar could ever win one? No. Especially not on such a well run organisation. Baltimore's path to a Lombardi is more narrow because their playing style is so specific, but there remains a path. For them to be 4-1 with the injuries they have this year is testament to everyone involved, including Jackson. The dude is balling. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of the plays you see him making today escaping pressure, insane throws, hurdles, etc - he was doing that in college as well if you paid any attention (which most Bills fan didn't). He was just far more inconsistent in college due to the non-traditional path you reference and lack of upper level QB coaching. But you paint a picture that his college tape is garbage, I would argue inconsistent. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
