Thank you both!

Agreed...but he was given that time. And being given that time is critically important for this O as some of their longer plays take time to develop.

I love the troll idea. What does the gif mean?

Josh’s throws occurred after an average of 3.2 seconds. That’s a significant amount of time.

He was on fire yesterday. He accounted for the vast majority of the Bills O output and stayed in command...never looked like he was rattled like last year. It appeared to me that he has begun to look at the postseason as ‘just another game’. In my opinion, that’s what he needed to do and he did it. I have loved and defended this kid since year one because of his very clear willingness to lay it all on the line. That’s a special trait.

So much can be attributed to field position. Our average start in the first half was our own eight. Terrible. If we start those drives beyond the 20, the playbook is opened back up. Love the win and love this team!

I’m not sure if you’re catching the point. Lee was simply saying that Josh is smashing all boundaries...and, looking at his stats today and the the year, I would agree.

It was but there were many points in the OP’s message that didn’t hold up to my watch and re-watch of the game. Crashing now so can’t elaborate.

Good Lord this seems like a negative thread after a playoff win. I disagree with a number of points but my takeaway is this: the Bills win! 🦬🏈 Learn and move on to 2-0.

From the Athletic (pay wall): https://theathletic.com/2312960/2021/01/09/josh-allen-buffalo-bills-first-playoff-win/?source=user_shared_article Josh is now truly elite. The type of jump he has made from last year to this has never happened before. On top of that, the players around him recognize it (and, I trust, those of us who watch do as well). “Josh is the best football player on the planet right now,” Lee Smith said. “Elite isn’t even the right word. He’s passed elite.” “Allen averaged 3.24 seconds from snap to throw. Rivers averaged 2.52 seconds from snap to throw. When Allen took more than three seconds from the snap to throw the ball, he completed 13 of 18 attempts for 204 yards and both of his touchdown passes. Rivers in that same scenario was 3-for-9 passing for 54 yards and a touchdown. “He gets us out of a lot of bad situations,” Jon Feliciano said. Said Cole Beasley: “That’s what makes us hard to contain. It’s him. He’s a big difference-maker. He’s the engine that makes this thing run. We just have to do our best to be as good as him.”” “He’s such a different player mentally this year than he was last year and he’s been it all year,” Beasley said. “So it’s still the same from the season to the playoffs. That’s who he is. We’re going to follow him everywhere he goes because we know he’s everything we need to get there. We have to protect him as much as possible and do everything we can to make it easy on him because it’s rare when you have players like that.” Said Dawkins: “If I could put it in one phrase, lasered in, dialed in, just extremely focused. He was like, ‘Nah, we’re not walking off this field with a loss.’ I saw it and felt it in Josh’s emotions, how he was calling calls, how his progression was. He went on the field with a ‘kill or be killed’ mentality.”

Reports said he was money in the offseason so it’ll be interesting next year.

Wilson has not played well in the second half of this season. He will need a great deal of work this off-season. Just not the same QB.

I don’t know, I’m an iPad guy and the resolution on it is astounding. I’m sure the MS Surface is similar. Plus NYC: I expect they’re looking at huge monitors.

I attribute it to field position. Totally changed the entire first half, what plays were called, etc. Plus all the other solid answers above.

How’s this for positive: I think they needed this type of win a’la the Cards game. Butterflies? Yup. They managed them. D collapse? Yup and then they saved the day. No run game? Yup, what’s new? Turn back to the pass and let Josh do his thing. At the end of the day, however, the manner in which they pulled this out may be the exact perfect timing! Super Bowl or bust!!!! 🦬🏈

He’s connected to NY while reviewing. And low-res? How would you possibly know or assume that? Terrible call nonetheless.

My TWENTY THREE YEAR OLD son literally cried. So glad yet another monkey is off the back of this team and our kids & grandkids can see how fun this team can be!

Seriously?

Why are they running????

Why flipping run it? Pass the ball!

Time to double dip and flip the field position battle. Do that and Bills win.

You didn’t.

There have literally been many multiple people here who, during the beginning of the year when out D was poor, that were calling Beane a dolt for letting them walk. If you didn’t see that, no worries...doesn’t change the fact that it took place. I’m not digging through post game posts as I operate on an iPad. That, however, does not change reality.

Nothing says ‘championship’ like throwing potatoes! 😃 Just kidding...I consume all things Josh and had not seen this, either. The kids LOVES to be a winner and so he will be! He is strong enough to will things into reality.

I recall, literally, individuals saying Beane and McD should be gone. I tried to make this point earlier. Treatment day so thoughts get a little whack-o on this end. 😃
