If he was, we would score more points but we are again, not able to put points up. I think the bar is set low if you feel he's "way ahead" of what anyone expected. This isn't 1995 anymore. This is a new league where the rules in the NFL make it a passing league and we still can't do it. For someone who has fumbled 11 times and thrown 7 INT's....10 passing TD's and 26th in passing yards per game isn't enough.

You know who else gives an awful press conference? Belichek. Rex gave great press conferences. Maybe the best ever. It was just an observation not a criticism. And this is exactly why I never watch his press conferences. It's like watching paint dry only not as exciting. I figured this out about 5 minutes into his career as the Bills HC. But I really don't care. Just win on Sunday or Thursday or Saturday as the case may be. Go BILLS !!

Jpsredemption Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 It was a great question and glad we have atleast one media member that pushes the envelope a bit in this town.
Mr. WEO Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 3 hours ago, GoBills808 said: Unreliable. Much like the other takes on Allen recently. What was the criticism of Allen in the offseason? Needs to up his completion % and clean up the short/underneath stuff. Worked on it in the offseason and did it. Then through first 4 games it was: stop throwing INTs. Worked on it. Done. Now it's 'he can't hit a deep ball'...all you want to do is complain about what isn't working without looking at what is. It's beyond repetitive, it's just lazy at this point. Completion % vs Browns: 53.7. Completion % vs Eagles: 47.1 That's 2 of the last 3 games. Still sub 60% for the season so far. 18 minutes ago, reddogblitz said: He nailed it like he nails all questions by waffling around and tossing out tired football cliches and not answering the question. Yeah, not sure what he nailed other than saying he wasn't going to answer the question. 1

Just an indicator that Sullivan knows what he’s doing as far as stirring the pot and generating clickbait. Put “Sullivan” or “Schopp” in a thread title and watch it take off. Some of you guys make it too easy for them. We love to talk about those guys here, but the question is whether any of this talk actually causes people to go read Sullivan or listen to Schopp. For me, the answer to both questions is "no." I don't go to them because they simply are not good at what they do. They don't inform me, either with information or with insights, so I don't bother. 1

Granted I don't know what happened in Detroit talk circuit in Stafford's early years, but there were definitely fewer questions about Eli's ability to be an NFL QB by the local or national press.

Please tell me you aren't using messageboard traffic and local and national press as your basis for quarterback comparisons. That's only marginally more hilarious than STATZ
PromoTheRobot Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 You had to let Jerry back in, didn't you.
Bigantall Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 I for one was glad to see the reporters ask him some real questions instead of the regular crap. Hey we are all frustrated with the coaches and the players! 1
US Egg Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 (edited) If the QB situation were to look like this a year from now, then yeah, The Josh Allen Experiment will look quite dubious. Edited November 13, 2019 by I am the egg man

Chill Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 Hard ball questions are good. Keep it up reporters. Sean has to do a better job.

billsbackto81 Posted November 13, 2019 Posted November 13, 2019 47 minutes ago, Royale with Cheese said: It's a combination of the questions and I think he's still pissed about the Cleveland game. He's not happy with the run defense, he's not happy with the lack of scoring on offense. And he's the coach. Imagine how upset he'd be if he was a fan and TSW member.

That's only marginally more hilarious than STATZ No matter how much disdain you show for what the average fan sees, at the end of the day, bad players can't outrun their critics. The conversations surrounding Allen are very similar to EJ, who also had a promising start. When Allen can show that he can read a defense and defeat a blitz, then the converstations will end. 1

I do agree with where your going in this. Allen separates himself from Tyrod with those comebacks. I really wanted to see one against the browns. I don't put the last drive on him so much actually. The rest of the game was the problem. Edited November 13, 2019 by london_bills

Until then maybe you can bring up how similar Allen and Vince Young's first two years looked again. 1
