Well Allen's first half was about as ugly as it could possibly be...looked terrible even for a rookie. Wasn't handling pressure well, wasn't accurate, and made bad decisions.

Rookie mistake. It happens.

 

Another half to play today but that 1st half was beyond normal rookie stuff he looked like he didn't know what to do.

Rookie mistakes will happen, but that last throw across his body to the middle of the field was a terrible decision.

Unfortunately I have to agree.  Even throwing out all the **** throws earlier....if he just throws it away on last drive it MIGHT be 13 to 3.  Just has to be smarter.  I get he is a rookie but that was stupid.  Also the O game plan just seems to be nonexistent.  Not sure what they are doing.

How about those ACC EJ Manuel spin moves. You can't un-teach so much stupid. We made these excuses for everyone else and how did it turn out. Today was what we saw him do in college.

He has to learn by doing. 

 

If that's the case, expect a bunch more blitzes. From the article you posted:

 

"According to ESPN Stats & Information research, Allen was sacked or put under duress on 19 of his 43 drop backs Sunday. He finished 1-of-10 passing for 2 yards and an interception on those plays. Allen is now 5-of-27 passing (19 percent) with no touchdowns and two interceptions when pressured this season."

 

Ouch!

He simply has no one to turn to with OL issues in both the run and pass game and no receivers who can beat coverage with regularity.  Helluva way to do OJT at the most difficult position in professional sports.

I tend to agree. If Allen flames out this year, some of that needs to fall on McBeane, and not just because they made the pick. This is an almost impossible situation for an extremely raw QB who needed time to watch and learn. 

 

That said, he can't tank the game on the team like he did today. We can point to Oline and WRs and play calling, but a huge part of it was just Allen playing bad. He made zero good things happen. A good QB, even an inexperienced one, will at least make positive plays here and there even if he has little help. Allen did none of that today.

What we learned so far from Sunday's Week 4 games

 

3. Bills quarterback Josh Allen failed to build on Week 3's performance, and the ups and downs of a rookie signal-caller were on full display Sunday. A week after guiding the Bills to a stunning 27-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings, Allen snapped back to reality with an inconsistent performance against the Packers' defense.
 
Allen's first half was one to forget, as he entered halftime completing a dismal 5 of 19 passes for 58 yards and an INT, while posting a 17.9 passer rating. The seventh overall pick of the 2018 draft didn't top 100 yards passing until the fourth quarter and was consistently under pressure, as the Packerssacked Allen seven times. Allen finished the game completing 16 of 33 passes for 151 yards with no touchdowns and two interceptions for a 36.3 rating.
