Brown's TD wasn't even notable compared to highlights from the other games. It is a standard top 2 receiver play that every competent offense in the league can make on a weekly basis. I feel the same way about people criticizing Allen for the pick off of Beasley's hands. It is a standard NFL catch that starting receivers will make 99% of the time. There is this weird misconception from certain folks on here that every good QB is perfectly precise on every throw, and that they're running their offenses all on their own without help. It boggles my mind. If you asked any decent NFL WR about that play, he would say I need to catch that pass 100 out of 100 times, and be serious about it.
ndirish1978 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I'm quick to defend Josh, but he did have several "hero ball" throws that we got lucky with. We can't expect to win if he turns the ball over this much. That said, if he can eliminate the dumb judgement calls, he is looking like a franchise QB.

I don't doubt it. And I don't watch a ton of college, but in general I wouldn't expect college team execution to come close to what to expect from the execution of an NFL team. Over the course of 16 games I don't feel the Bills could survive/make the playoffs living like this. But I could be wrong!

The most Josh Allen play that I've ever seen was a play against San Diego State. SDSU brought a huge blitz and Allen scrambled around and then tried to be hero and threw an ill advised cross body throw that was picked off by Damontae Kazee (last year's NFL leader in INTs). Allen ran down Kazee for about 30 yards and lowered the boom knocking Kazee backwards flat on his ass and causing Kazee to fumble the football through the back of the end zone for a touch back and Wyoming's ball. Allen will make mistakes but he will make up for it and lead the team to wins. Stats are for losers. That play will go down as an INT in the stat book but was big momentum to Wyoming. 2
SloanBillsFan Posted September 10, 2019 Posted September 10, 2019 Since it all culminated in a win I'll chalk most of the few bone head plays up to bad luck and the fact that JA's still young with only a baker's dozen of regular season starts. Don't know if I could be so kind if we were 0-1 but after all is said and done I really think this group and its QB are destined for great things.

I love it, but I can never be convinced that's it's a realistic expectation to always successfully hit on the river in the NFL. Playoffs are single elimination.

If not, hey you can draft a QB who doesn’t look like a complete doofus I'm a Patriots fan ?

I dont know about "several" I would say there were like 2? I specifically saw him throw the ball away running to the sidelines instead of throwing back to the middle of the field.....a "hero ball" moment for him in the past. Not disputing you....just I saw him do some things correcty that in the past he has not.
