Josh after his 6 TD performance: "I didn't play well."

[Sierra Foothills]

 

About 9 and a half minutes.

 

Regarding the recent and fairly unprecedented criticism of Josh after the Miami game, we all love him but also we've all seen him play better than he has this year.

 

The best is yet to come...

 

[Augie]

Yes, and yes.

Hard to imagine, but he could’ve wound up with 8 TD’s had just a few more reads/throws been on point…dude’s floor is others’ make believe career days! 😝

I knew the poster was right when he said we should have benched Josh Allen 

[Captain Hindsight]

I said it to someone in the stands, he was off on a lot of throws and still had that kind of day. Just wild how talented he is

[Sierra Foothills]

The throw he airmailed over Reggie on the 2 point conversion happened with 9 minutes left in the game.

 

I never felt Josh was in the groove against Tampa but he carried us to victory nonetheless.

This.  Which is why our Offense should be Josh Allen-centric with a mix of James Cook and not James Cook-centric with Josh as a game manager. 
 

So much more room for error. 
 

He threw an insane pick deep in our side of the field.   Missed wide open receivers down the field, multiple times, early.  Threw a pick on 4th down because he turned down the easy button throw for a 1st to try for a chunk play.   Wasn’t recognizing pressure looks early resulting in untouched rushers.  Airmailed a wide open 2 point conversion. 
 

Still went nuclear and put up 44 points. 
 

Just. Score. Points. 
 

And our best way to do that is to unleash Josh.. especially as we get closer to, and into, the Playoffs, where we’ll let him run more.  
 

The guy can have his B game and still nuke the opposing Defense.

I would absolutely love this version of Josh to be real.

Guess he watched the tape

You can win a whole lot more games if you prevent your opponent from scoring than attempting to outscore them every game.  Complimentary football gives you a much better chance to win. Case in point the 1990s Bills teams, we had Thurman and Jim as key cogs on the offense and we routinely beat Marino and Dolphins. Why? In part because the Dolphins let Marino be Marino and never give him a RB of Thurman's status to compliment him.

Wrong. Miami never went to the next level because Shula refused to call defensive time outs.

I’m not old enough to remember the intricacies of those years but I do know we had a guy like Bruce Smith on those teams. Cornelius Bennett etc. 

 

Josh has never had that guy. Feels like the equivalent would be if we traded for Myles Garrett?

 

James Cook, of course, has a role on this team. 
 

But when you can’t stop the run, and then on offense you want to establish the run.. you play a game on offense that forces your defense to stop the run all game.  Clock bleeds, possessions limited and Josh/passing game never gets in a rhythm. 
 

With this defense, the best way to help them, is to tell Josh to get to 40.

Imagine an “off” day like this with just one actual NFL caliber WR. 

[T master]

In some ways I would have to agree ! I've seen a few plays where josh had wide open people like the Gilliam play where he over threw him that would have been a TD and there was one I saw that Samuel was again wide open and Josh went else where if he had hit them there would have been no way the Bucs would have been close to a win .

 

I just hope with the new WR's they have used that Josh can utilize them better and 40 points a game will become the norm !! 

 

GO BILLS !!

My inner monologue is exactly the same as that after I do any basic household repair or open a jar of pickles for my wife.
