There are Bills fans that want to trade Allen. SMH.

 

not intelligent ones.

[Dukestreetking]

Despite JT's (small) critiques noted above, his analysis comes down to this money quote, found a few minutes in:

 

"...this might be the best [QB] performance I've reviewed all year."

 

Not bad, 17.

And the INT wasn't an awful play either, just a great play by the corner in the end. He completed a similar contested ball to Diggs for a touchdown. That was what I would consider a true gun slinger kind of pick. 

One theme was that JT hated throwing a wet ball and was amazed that Josh showed no signs of struggling with the rain.

There’s a reason he’s 0-6 in OT.

The reasons:

 

*  The defense playing bad in almost every one of those games.

 

*  A head coach that is overwhelmed by the pressures of OT.

 

*  Nobody else makes a play.

He played phenomenally. But it wasn’t enough. He could’ve did a little more to secure a win. Elite QBs score TDs in OT when they get the ball first in most cases. Allen is certainly elite. But he hasn’t shown the ability to do this. That’s all I’m saying. 

Do we have statistics to show elite QBs score TDs at a higher rate than average or is this a qualitative statement?

Yeah and he scored a TD before the end of regulation that should’ve won it too…or does that not fit your narrative here?

He gave the Bills the lead TWICE on his last 2 possessions, it’s weird that people want to pin the loss on him

 

 

This is a team sport and there is plenty of blame to go around.  The net is that the Bills have not this season, played up to the strength of their QB or roster.  They now sit in a position where missing the playoffs is a very real probable outcome.  

 

It’s an absolutely abysmal outcome for a season that could have been much better.

I compare Allen to only 1 other active qb and that’s Mahomes. Think Allen is better than everyone else. There’s no need to dig into statistics. Just use your eyes watching them play. Mahomes with 13sec tied us in regulation. Got the ball first in OT and scored to end the game. Allen needs to learn how to do that.

13 sec IMO was more the work of Kelce who changed the route and told Mahomes he was changing it because of what he saw in the defense... pretty easy throw and catch once he was told what to do.

I am not saying Mahomes isnt the best, I am just stating in this instance

Ya he does a great job

 

Yes JT does a great job and knows his stuff being a former NFL QB. He does these every week and covers Josh a lot. 

Not as much as other QB’s though.  He doesn’t have an Allen section on his channel which implies he was not a fan of him and probably one of those who thought Allen would be a bust in the pros.  

[EmotionallyUnstable]

Interesting hearing his comments on Gabe’s sloppy route running. Another reason he very likely won’t be back next year. 

[Bob Jones]

Davis ran the route correctly in OT, and it should have been an easy walk off win. Unfortunately Josh chose wrong, which is surprising, cuz I'm guessing he saw that the CB had inside leverage there, so dunno why he threw the ball inside. Oh well, no one's perfect.

Yes if Davis ran the correct route

Who cares about a pick? Did he leave the field with a lead late in the game? In OT? He played great. 

 

I care about a pick, particularly because it was on Allen and flipped momentum late in the game.

 

And yes, Allen left the field in OT with the lead - after another bizarre miscommunication - and handed the game back to his defense. Hurts ensured the game-winning TD.

 

Overall, Allen had a great game. But there continues to be that nagging undercurrent allowing big stats and flash plays but without actual success.

Did it really flip momentum though?

Even if bills punted, eagles were scoring from wherever they were on the field.

 

their own 10, 25, or the bills 30. It didn’t matter 

 

Bills defence had absolutely no answer in the 2nd half/overtime and the only way for the bills to win was for Josh to be perfect. That’s a pretty unrealistic expectation to have

Momentum in the game was flipped when the Eagles marched down the field to score a TD in response to the Bills having gone up 24 - 14 late in the 3rd quarter. That got the Eagles crowd & D fired up. If you look back over this season and last season this has been a common refrain from the McD D - allow a team to score a TD at critical points in a game to either grab momentum, take momentum back or win the game.

 

And for the record Allen left the field TWICE with the lead at the end of the game and BOTH times the D could not hold.

 

The nagging undercurrent you throw out is the FACT that beyond Allen & Diggs the Bills don't have much in the way of clutch play makers on offense.

But he won coz he’s got a better coach and kicker. Josh has zero room for error. Time to consider a trade. 

[Since1981]

How many different ways can we say he needs a WR2 and O coach? It seems we fixed the OC coach part. 
 

dear god people. The poor guy needs a WR2.

Did you even watch the video here? Davis DID run the right route. The guy doing analysis here, and the video, makes that clear. And even a HS QB could see that the CB had inside leverage on Davis, so Davis' best option was to go left, AWAY from the CB, which he did. JA17 made the wrong decision. Like everybody says with JA, you gotta take the bad with the good, and this was a bad.

and yet an NFL QB said Davis ran the wrong route.
