Pine Barrens Mafia Posted November 7, 2022 Share Posted November 7, 2022 Give it up, he's not the MVP 56 minutes ago, Alphadawg7 said: There are people in here declaring that the man (Allen) leading the NFL in total yards and touchdowns, and on pace to break the NFL record, who is the number one seed in the AFC and already beat Mahomes in KC is now done and out of the MVP race. Hasn't looked worthy of it for two consecutive weeks. The standard is high 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nah... they aren't going undefeated Beckam is a UFA The Titans? I missed them as a team with a winning record, but not sure they're a tougher out than the Cowboys or Giants. The Eagles are so multi-dimensional that I think people are really underrating them. Hurts may not be Peyton Manning, but he doesn't need to be. They have a solid offense 8th in rushing, 15th in passing and a very good defense #2 Passing, #13 rushing, #4 points. They may not have the dynamic offense of the Chiefs or Bills but they deserve their record. They haven't fallen on their face the way the Bills have, and that's worth something. Allen has had 4 good games, 3 bad ones, and 1 where despite showing up well on the stat sheet, it wasn't good enough to win against a barely conscious opponent. We got lucky against Green Bay and Baltimore, but not so much against the Jets and Miami. Allen can't keep piling up picks and poor outings if we're going to make an argument for MVP.

This play was indicative of the kind of stubbornness Allen has been putting on display when things get tough.

I hope that his elbow is good to go because I would not put it past him to play injured. Having a physical ailment to go along with the mental issues is not a great combination when trying to get out of a funk. His OL and OC are also letting him down. Mental issues? Really? Where were all the mental issue concerns when Brady threw 4 INT in a game, or when Brees did that, Rodgers did that, Manning did that, Montana did that, etc? Our offense was out of sync in the 2nd half of two games against 2 great secondaries. Allen made a few bad decisions and some errant throws...now all of a sudden he has having "mental issues"? And we won one of those games thanks to Allens big first half, and should have forced OT in the 2nd one at the very least had Davis not dropped a ball right off his face to end the game on what was one the greatest throws of the season by any QB...or had Bass not missed another FG. The amount of unrealistic perfection people expect out of Allen and the Bills this year right now is so crazy. Mahomes has had more bad stretches this year than Allen...where are all the concerns over his mental issues?

ChronicAndKnuckles Posted November 8, 2022 Share Posted November 8, 2022 13 hours ago, Gene1973 said: Yes. Allen is trending down while Hurts and Mahomes are standing pat or ascending. There is time for Allen to reverse the downward trend, but it can't wait weeks, has to happen now, as in the next game. Come on.The Chiefs barely put up 20 points in 4 quarters + overtime against a team we dropped 41 on. Lucky for them they got bailed out by the **** officiating. Meanwhile, despite all the BS Allen still hit Diggs on a sideline route that would’ve put us in position to win the game, but got called back on a mysterious holding call.

Did you not see Davis slam on the brakes at the 30 yard line in order to not outrun the ball? That brought Garnder back into coverage. The ball landed at the 20 and if he wanted to hit an open receiver, it would have had to go to the 10. Asking that is ridiculous of course, but it is what it is. He should have thrown the ball 5 seconds earlier if he didn't want to have to sling it 80 yards. Better yet, he could have thrown it underneath for a 1st down.

BullBuchanan Posted November 9, 2022 Share Posted November 9, 2022 (edited) This is what I saw live - here it is in video proof. Davis has three steps on Gardner at the 50. If the ball is thrown then it's complete at the 30 and davis runs in for a TD. Instead Allen holds it another two seconds and by the time it gets there Davis has to slow up to try the catch at the 20. By the time Allen threw, it needed to hit the 10-15 yard line to have a chance at completion 3 minutes ago, transplantbillsfan said: You're insane.

Josh rolled out to the right and sees Knox 5 or 6 yards in front of the LOS. Ya know what else he sees and is probably the reason he chooses not to throw to Knox? Not 1. Not 2. But 3 defenders right around the 1st down marker... which was 15 yards from where Knox would have caught the ball. Plus there's another defender 11 yards beyond the marker. If you really thought a 1 on 4 scenario on 4th down was a better option on 4th and 21--literally an unthinkable 1st down scenario for most QBs--than the throw Josh made (which was a catchable ball that would have immediately put us in game-tying field position with the opportunity for more) then you don't know football.

Again, The right play was not to roll out to the left it was to step up int he pocket and throw the ball to Davis when he was wide open before the 50. Once that moment had passed, Davis was a dead option - as the result showed. At that point, the throw was a 0% chance to be completed unless one of the top CBs in the league in Gardner makes an unforced error - not a good idea to bet on that. Once Allen decides to extend the play beyond what his arm can handle the only choice is to fling a hail mary and hope for a DPI or to target an underneath player and hope they can make a play to get a first. Of the underneath players, Knox was in the best position to make a play. 4 players on the defense were engaged at the line and 6 were on the Davis side of the hash, leaving one player in between Knox and a 1st. Diggs was upfield to block the only other player on Knox's side of the hash. It wouldn't be my first choice for a decision, but Josh boxed himself in to the point where it was the only reasonable decision to make. instead he either deluded himself into thinking he could throw the ball 85 yards for a completion, or that he'd put Davis in a position to get a call thrown his way - neither of which came to pass.

You're being ridiculous and apparently also need glasses. Even if you extend that play all the way up until the moment Josh throws the ball to Davis there are 2 players on Knox's side of the field. One is at the 1st down marker and 1 is 12 yards beyond the 1st down marker. Knox is about 15 yards away from the 1st down plus another defender who was spying Josh and followed him to the other side of the field but was still only on the hash at the time he set up to throw. Throwing to Knox at that point was stupid and would have been a much worse decision than the throw to Davis (which was a great throw that was very catchable) considering that it would have been a throw across the field, how short of the stix Knox was and the 2, probably 3 defenders who could have gotten to him even at that point.

transplantbillsfan Posted November 13, 2022 Author Share Posted November 13, 2022 Josh is in a slump. This is pretty frustrating. The good thing? We've still got 8 games and a QB who takes winning, losing, and screwing up so personally that (I'm pretty sure) he was laying on the field crying... or at least despondent... after his first INT.
