Rico Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 Big congrats to the other Josh, Josh Johnson with the big win today! If he started in London 2015, the drought may have been over 2 years earlier.

nedboy7 Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 I think people are overall more pleased with this garbage season over last years playoff season. Weird ha? 1

Because by the end of last year Tyrod proved we didn't have a franchise QB, and by the end of this year it's starting to look like we might. Which is far more important than one year sneaking into the playoffs.

Green Lightnings reaction was common in the threads following the draft and continued till the Vikings game.

But as soon as they picked him, I did my best to keep an open mind. 2
WideNine Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 1 hour ago, zow2 said: I figured Allen was wildly inaccurate based on scouting and would miss dudes by 10 yards, but he’s been solid. Even several of his misses are fingertips and *could* be caught. my only concern right now is that every week he settles into 50% completions. That has to get better next year Don't get hung up on completion percentage, it is a truly misleading stat. Does not take into account dropped passes, or times when the best play is to throw it away. On the flip side, there are guys with ridiculous completion percentages and QB ratings who will without fail take the easy dump off pass 4-6 yards short of the sticks on every 3 and long play. Sure they completed the pass - meaningless in the grand scheme of the game as you have to trot out your punting unit. Rather have someone with the stones to try to get the first down or more. Best thing you can do is see if Allen is making passes he missed the week before, is he throwing it away when he should, is he getting it into his WRs hands, is he pushing it down the field to move the chains... work in progress folks, but I am more stoked by this kid's play than I have been for a Bills QB in a long time and I am going to allow myself to have a bit of hope for this team. And sure, I may end up crying in my beer - been there done that enough, but why not enjoy the ride a bit. 2

formerlyofCtown Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 2 hours ago, Jasovon said: I had Rosen as my top guy and Allen as my second. Rosen looks awful, yes he has no talent around him but Allen makes guys around him better. Goff looked awfulhis first year. Im not a Rosen fan but my concerns are if he can keep his focus on football and can stay healthy.
leh-nerd skin-erd Posted December 17, 2018 Posted December 17, 2018 I didn't want Rosen, part of the issue was the history of concussions, and part as a result of his attitude based on some of the things I've read. Seemed sort of arrogant to me, i wondered how that would play out on the field, but had he been our selection that would have been fine. To flip that around a bit, I look forward to watching JA play. His enthusiasm is infectious (to me anyway, i know some posters here got the JA flu shot and dont see it that way), he lays it all on the line and seems to be improving as he goes. His interaction with his teammates seems excellent, he shows great leadership skills and seems to love the game. I wish the other Josh no ill will, and if he turns out to be a gelreat player and this Josh does not, well, sometimes that happens. For now though, JA is the guy.
