Batman1876 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I see lots of comments about how Josh should have had more INt's but I thought he threw the ball on the one that was called back after the defensive holding flag came out. Can anyone confirm or refute that for me?
Ramza86 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Would be nice if he did. Cause he seemed pretty confident about that flag. 1

However I still do not like the decision because those flags in the secondary can get picked up, unlike a offside free play. 2
Kmart128 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Well for defensive holding it has to happen before the pass... So I'm sure he saw the holding and took the free play risk and see if he could squeeze one in.
golfball323 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 this is a very optimistic thread... I don't think he saw it and made a bad read/decision. All 22 will be telling 1

All 22 will be telling Reason I think h did is Beasley was the First read, (that is what the hold was on) and when he pulled the ball back down I think that is when he saw the flag and decided to try and get a bigger play. Could be optimistic there but watching that play a couple times it looked to me he saw the flag on Beasley his initial read. 2
RyanC883 Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 He looked off the safety, so I'm not sure he saw the flag on the play. I think he was intending on hitting JB with Beasley as a 2nd option. Perhaps too optimistic there, but I think it was just a great play.

Even if he knew it was a free play, ref'ing in the NFL is too quirky and inconsistent to rely upon it. It's also a habit thing. He needs to build a habit to not take those chances. 1
co_springs_billsfan Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 If he knew he had a free play I LOVE the decision. We see elite QBs do this against us all the time (usually Offside) but I can't remember the last time I saw a Bills QB take advantage. The likelihood of the flag being picked up goes down tenfold when not playing the Pats*.
Freddie's Dead Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Smoke said it was designed to go over the top, but JA threw it short because the DB took away the over the top. I'm going with John "SmokeY" Brown on this one.

Real McClappy Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Regardless if he knew it was a penalty or not I just hope he understands the mistake and learns from it. You don't get too many free learning lessons in this league.
1ManRaid Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 Watching live, I got the definite impression he was taking the free play.

ILBillsfan Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 He had the TE early but as mentioned looked like he wanted one of the middle hook routes Ge got moved off his spot by the rush and picked up the TE late. I just like that he is reading progressions and looking to make plays down field this game was dominated by the Bills imo with the ball bouncing the Jets way for three quarters 1
John from Riverside Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I was wondering the same thing.....you see vet savvy qbs do this...when they know they have a free play they take a shot
buffalonian Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 (edited) The flag was thrown after JA released the pass. The pass is intercepted before the flag hits the ground. So JA did not know there was a penalty when he threw the pass. Edited September 9, 2019 by buffalonian 1
billspro Posted September 9, 2019 Posted September 9, 2019 I would like to hear Josh talk about the play. It almost felt like he wanted to throw to know but switched to brown last second when he saw the hold.
