Josh Allen - week THREE report card

[rayray808]

23/36 - 243 yards - 1 TD, 1 INT - 9 carries for 46 yards

 

WEEK 1: B-

WEEK 2: B

WEEK 3: C+

 

Today we got to see "streaky Josh" and it is my biggest fear about him. I am okay however if it is a few bad plays during a quarter, followed by a game winning drive. I just donʻt want his "lows" to last entire games.

 

I had him at a B-, however the INT is inexcusable... especially after experiencing the intentional grounding call. That should have been the light bulb moment. Heck, even the fumble should have been a learning moment where he realizes he just needs to settle in and put the nail in the coffin.

 

All in all, he is still progressing along enough to prove that he can take over this franchise and lead us to greatness. Today just happened to be his worst game of the season thus far IMO.

Report card should read 3-0.

I didn’t like his game today and I have been a Josh supporter. On to weeok 4

One thing that's overlooked is when a QB establishes an early track record of clutch drives and come-from-behind wins it reinforces itself. If you go out and win you become a winner. The team will also come to believe in that QB, that he's one possession or one play away from taking the game away from the opponent.

[Drunken Pygmy Goat]

Hard to disagree...

 

BUT, he's still young and inexperienced. This may not be the year he leads the Bills to the promised land, but playoffs are very realistic. 

 

Growing pains and learning moments...those typically come with losses. Bills are 3-0 despite certain issues. If they can correct some issues and get out of their own way, watch out.

[LeGOATski]

Agreed. Not a great game, but he made other throws that needed to be made and he found a way to win. He helped dig them out of the hole he put them in.

Report cards are always letters, bud.

 

I never got a 3 in math

I didn't like a few plays, but overall, he did enough to win. That's all that really matters...for today anyways. Those issues need to be corrected if we're ever going to compete with the big boys.

Allen may have some issues, but its still early in his career. 

 

Some of his issues he's made strides in improvement, some not so much. But he's already checked off a few boxes, and one very important box is the "gamer" box. He's been more clutch at QB than we've seen in a long time.

Get's no extra credit for that clutch first down run breaking out of several sacks to set-up the game winning TD?

Tough class, doesn’t even get credit for a game winning drive.

A.

Completed over 60% of his passess

Accounted for almost 300 all purpose yards

Stayed calm as could be while leading the team to another 4th quarter comeback

Won his 4th straight NFL start

All in his 14th NFL game

[Kelly the Dog]

I say B. The last scoring drive is way, way, way more important than the inexcusable INT. It's a win. Down with five minutes to go and they went right down the field. Plus he doesn't get enough credit for avoiding the rush and running. The first down he got running late only a couple QBs make if that. 

[Bill Murray]

Agree he forced a number of plays such as the INT which you hope he grows out of soon.  That said, last year this was a regular occurance and this year I think he has shown good progress limiting those plays.  He still hasn’t played 16 games mind you.

 

on the plus side, I think his patience in the pocket is good.  He is becoming very comfortable extending plays w his feet while still hitting WRs down field (Brown and Beasley on 3rd downs in the 1st half).

 

he has command of the offense and everything is still headed in the right direction so I’m willing to view the couple mental errors in the context of still showing steady improvement.  B.

I hope you liked the part where he led the team to a game winning touchdown. I thought that was pretty nice.

Passing grade thanks to the win. But he was poor all day long.
