SoCal Deek Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 As of right this minute he needs to have his feet up on the ottoman tomorrow, Monday, basking in a 6-2 record. As for today, Sunday, he needs to not have ANY turnovers!

But maybe that's just me. Absolutely, I was talking about him playing great for 3 & half quarters and being on the bench late in the 4th as we have a comfortable lead

That’s just too self-absorbed for me, I guess. I just want my team to win. I think he is just responding to the question at hand that helps up get a W. We all want to win ?
quinnearlysghost88 Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 this is a good game for him to clean up his play and move the ball.
BisonMan Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Better and faster decisions is all I need to see from JA. He needs to recognize where to throw the ball sooner and get it out of his hands. Many (most?) of his fumbles were caused by holding he ball too long because he didn’t read and recognize the coverage soon enough to find the open receiver. I don’t care about total yards, completion percentages or INTs provided he’s making the right decisions fast enough. Everything with him is driven by his decision-making. Read and react sooner and he’ll fumble less, throw fewer picks, throw “on platform” more with greater accuracy and....complete the long ball! The good news is, I think he’ll get there. The signs of improvement are there but they’re coming slowly.

mead107 Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 I hope he has a great Monday. that is tomorrow.
SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 According to the Washington Post for the Skins to be successful Make Allen throw. say waaaa?
Rocket94 Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Just win this game move forward and shake off the Philadelphia "incident"
Rock'em Sock'em Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Team: Win. Allen: 10 straight completions, complete one deep ball.
thebug Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Just be part of the reason we win, not part of the reason we lose.
Olympus Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 I'm big on the eye test when it comes to football players, especially quarterbacks. I have no statistically expectation because I often feel like stats fail to show the true picture of the performance quality. What I want to see out of Josh, firstly, is the moment he's in the pocket before he throws the football, does he have the calm, still, set stance that Tom Brady does so well. The few times I've seen him do this, good things tend to happen. Josh having that calm still moment in the pocket shows me that he isn't panicking, and he's able to calmly asses the defensive coverage to make his decision. Secondly, I want to see a touch throw over the top of a defender. There was one throw to Duke Williams this year where Duke hurt his shoulder, which may be the only legitimately good touch throw Josh has thrown over the top of the defender. Everything else I think Josh does fairly well. Turnovers are more of the luck of the bounce than anything else in this league, and while some of Josh's come on preventable bad decisions, his red zone efficiency shows the ability of Josh when he doesn't need to stretch the field vertically, and can attack the field horizontally.
SoTier Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 It's time for Allen to start demonstrating that he's a franchise QB. He does that by making good decisions ... by making the correct reads quickly as well as finding open receivers ... by not making stupid plays ... by connecting on a downfield play or two.
Big Turk Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 Honestly probably not a whole heck of a lot.

Wins are meaningless. I kid. Just win the damn game. Exactly. I’m beyond sick of hearing these comments. The guy has a winning record as a starting qb. He had 5 wins last year with a crap roster and has had numerous comeback wins. What more can he do? Has he been perfect? Nope. But people need to stop acting like he’s supposed to be at this point. He was drafted as a project with enormous potential. So far he has played like it. 1
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted November 3, 2019 Posted November 3, 2019 (edited) Break Norm Van Brocklins' record of 554 yards, while going 27-41 with 5TDs and no Ints. If he throws for 555+ and goes 42 for 41 with 6 TDS and a pick, JA haters will focus on the pick as a sign he is erratic and inaccurate. Advanced metrics people will say he should have only had 154 yards(lotsa YAC) and been 20-41. Edited November 3, 2019 by D. L. Hot-Flamethrower
