Capaccio: Bills at Panthers Arrow Up/Arrow Down

‘The Bills second year quarterback was calm and poised in the pocket. He made good decisions, and was on target. Just a really good game overall from Allen, who finished 9-for-11 for 102 yards. Of the two incompletions, one was a drop by LeSean McCoy and the other was essentially a throw away that landed at the feet of the target as he was heading out of bounds.’

Bills beat Panthers 27-14 in second preseason game

‘Quarterback Josh Allen and the rest of the Bills starters only played two drives and capitalized on both, giving the team a 10-0 after the first quarter. Allen completed 9-of-11 passes for 102 yards while LeSean McCoy, who made his preseason debut after he sat out in week one, carried the ball four times for six yards and a touchdown. Cole Beasley led all wide receivers with five catches for 44 yards while tight end Tommy Sweeney, who is taking advantage of extra on-field time due to injuries, had two catches for 47 yards.’

Josh Allen shows poise & progress in Bills win

‘After a few steady days of practice, Allen shined in the Bills second preseason game, completing 9 of 11 passes attempted for 102 yards. His day included two pretty passes to tight end, Tommy Sweeney for 47 yards. The first completion was floated perfectly over a defender, dropping right into Sweeney’s breadbasket. On the next drive, Allen and the rookie tight end connect again — this time on a laser up the seam. The completion set up the eventual one-yard touchdown from running back LeSean McCoy.’

‘“Coming here coach McDermott came up to me before the game and said, ‘I called the coin toss. We want the ball.’ I said, ‘Okay.’ And we won the coin toss and from that point on I was ready to go,” Allen said. “The first couple of throws we were still trying to find a rhythm. Ball placement a couple of times. I wish I could front pad Cole there on the underneath route and let him run and get some more yards. He caught the ball and made the first down. We made some first downs. Offensive line held the pocket really well. It was good to see looking at the pictures and having a clean pocket. I made sure they knew I appreciated that too.”’

‘“That was a part of the plan was to take a look at some of those guys and see what they could do,” McDermott said. “I thought we achieved some of our goal of watching them play with Matt, some of them with Josh, so I was happy to see Duke play strong and Isaiah. There was some good competition there.”’
