rayray808 Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 WEEK 1: B- WEEK 2: B WEEK 3: C+ WEEK 4: F WEEK 5: B+ WEEK 7: B WEEK 8: D+ WEEK 9: B+ WEEK 10: B- WEEK 11: A 21/33 - 64% completion rate - 256 yards - 3 TD, 0 INT - 56 yards rushing - TD (4 TD total on the day) "Play fearless" was the mantra heading into this game, and Josh Allen delivered. He had a few throws that were off, but he stayed poised the entire game and took calculated risks that helped spark our offense to put up 37 points. The great: We knew this game had tremendous pressure placed on the team, the offense and mainly Josh Allen. Twitter and FB boards had fans crying for a new OC, and to have Barkley take over our offense already. McDermott went in and had one request, "play fearless". Josh Allen did just that. He threw ropes for 40 yard TDʻs, rushed for huge chunks, and had that 3 TD game that had other fans using as a measuring stick that franchise QBʻs must be able to do. The good: 0 picks. 0 fumbles. As the playbook opened up a bit, especially after we established the running game, Josh was able to control the offense without gambling away possessions as we have seen him do in the past. This is yet another game with no picks since the Pats game, and most importantly for me, a game where he ran the ball well when it was available, AND DID NOT FUMBLE THE BALL. Although it seems like Singletary got the bug now. The bad: He had some throws that he needs to be able to hit and cash in on. The crossing route to Brown was one of them. Before the end of the half he also had a sideline through that should have been picked off. His completion rate was around 50% at one point, which isnʻt ideal, but he made the adjustment and got us a much needed win. In summary: he is a sophomore QB, and you have to train yourself not to get so low when the times are bad, and yet not get so high after a game like this. What we want to see is continued progress in various aspects of his role as our starting QB, and so far Josh Allen has been delivering. GO BILLS! 14

DefenseWins Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 Josh also had no sacks today I believe...
billsfan89 Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 A+ offense put up 37 points that's not only good enough for a win but a comfortable win. A little tight when they were a 2pt conversion away from a one posession game but the shaky special teams was the main culprit. 1
Ed_Formerly_of_Roch Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 (edited) I do think the Bill's playbook needs to have a 2nd player trailing the primary ball carrier by a couple of yards on every play to be right there to jump on all the fumbles.

Big Turk Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 All i know is he hasn't thrown an INT since the Tennessee game...might be one of the longest active streaks of passes without an INT in the NFL This week it looked like he found a much better balance of not making dumb throws but still being aggressive..the other 3 games it seemed like he was being a little too conservative... Now whether that was on Allen himself trying to limit the bad INTs or the coaching staff telling him not to throw those passes, Im not sure but today was a noticeable difference. I especially liked the aggressive playcalling and tempo after Miami made it 30-20 and the Bills responded with their best drive of the game for a game clinching TD. 2 1
CSBill Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 A, almost perfect--he did miss a few, but clearly his best game of the year!

ProcessTruster Posted November 17, 2019 Posted November 17, 2019 Once defenses see he can be accurate, the whole offense opens up. Phins pretty short handed today, but he made some nice throws for sure. W.
