He had 2 in 2022 and again, both big wins. You’re mistaking cause and effect lol 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Virgil Posted September 17, 2023 Share Posted September 17, 2023 I have nothing to back this up, but I think the first drive and play calling was McD’s way of putting Josh in timeout after last weeks game. Coaches were making a message and Josh was trying to listen 2 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's more Josh being less selfish and more accountable to his team. I’ve never seen that side of Josh as “selfish” necessarily. It’s kind of how he’s always been wired and it’s an internal battle for him to play the way he did today and just take what the defense gives him. He’s a slinger at heart. He’ll get those opportunities again to sling though if he can prove he can consistently make defenses pay by taking the shorties but they’ll actually be good opportunities instead of forced ones.

I think it's more Josh being less selfish and more accountable to his team. I probably know which play that was, he looked short first then long then went back to short. If he would have went short first the play would have gained more. But baby steps I guess, at least he didn’t force the long one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

reddogblitz Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 (edited) Love the new run game. It does though seem that we are now throwing a lot of short passes to guys standing still and to guys 5 yards behind the line of scrimmage. Coach Gailey type stuff. Not sure what's up with that. With a win like that however, no complaints. Edited September 18, 2023 by reddogblitz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 Couple of times he could have run and gotten good yardage, but didn’t. They shouldn’t stop him from running when needed.

Kmart128 Posted September 18, 2023 Share Posted September 18, 2023 My issues with with the offense is that it seems to be all deep balls or all check downs. I always hear annoucers say Josh Allen needs to take what defense give us. But i felt there were times last year at the end where teams wouldnt give us the underneath stuff but Josh was trying to force it cause he is always told he needs to play smarter. Yesterday seemed like all short passes... and while it was successful. Those passes werent working against the Jets. A much better defense. I really believe we need to find a good mix of deep and short passes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
