You need to sell out to get into field goal range at end of half/game...get a 1st down/touchdown or game is over. by all means. But you have a 8 point lead in the second quarter. And your doing a play like that that makes it appear that it’s the end of the game. No way dude. It’s just not a smart play. And look what happened...he ran to locker room. It's all part of the maturation process. And someday we will look back and miss these insane, yet dynamic plays. I choose to enjoy it for what it is. Edited October 5, 2020 by TheBrownBear 2
Bills Fan of St Augustine Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 Well, it was an incredibly stupid play...That could have been the difference between W and L. One bonehead play.... Panic... He didn't run either, was this a mandate or just the way the game went? Other than one bonehead play, great game and I believe he will continue to get better!

I totally accept his hero ball and never want to stifle or censor him in any way when he tries to make a play to win the game. The risk reward is 90% in his favor. The bonehead play people are talking about was not that. It was plain dumb. No I agree the sack was dumb and Allen admitted it after the game but it was his only mistake. The guy has thrown zero red zone interceptions in his career. If he once in a while takes 3 points off the board we'll live with it. 1
Doc Brown Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 If there was something between an A- and an A I'd go with that. He deserves a TON of credit working his tail off in the offseason during Covid. I don't even see the usual arrant throws anymore. Just now, HappyDays said: No I agree the sack was dumb and Allen admitted it after the game but it was his only mistake. The guy has thrown zero red zone interceptions in his career. If he once in a while takes 3 points off the board we'll live with it. The play calling was horrendous. Run the damn ball. Eat some clock. Kick the field goal to make it a three possession game. Daboll just got too cute.
Abill in Denver Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 You know you have your franchise QB when your arguing over what level of "A" he's getting 3 1

The guy has thrown zero red zone interceptions in his career. If he once in a while takes 3 points off the board we'll live with it. No question. Again, I hardly ever criticize his hero ball. I think we expect too much out of a guy like him. He escapes trouble 90% of the time. He holds the ball way too long and THEN makes a great play on a regular basis. It's incredible. People want to take all of the good on those with few or none of the bad. This particular play though, was an outlier. It was criminally dumb because of FG range up 14 mid fourth quarter.

Buffalo716 Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 It's an A+ hands down He the AFC opoy at this point 2
Doc Brown Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 4 minutes ago, Rico said: Another A+, nothing to quibble about. In college an A is the best you can get. I see an A as perfection. Maybe we should get our metrics straight. 3 minutes ago, FireChans said: Devin averaged 3.1 YPC. We weren't particularly cooking on the ground. We were in field goal range.

I mean reading your notes, you would think for sure it’s an A. Agree 100%. This grading ‘system’ is arbitrary and useless...save creating dialogue here. That was a home run...I’ll give it a C. 😃

Penfield45 Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 solid A. sack was poor but why are we even passing in that situation. His ability to return from the shoulder injury and get 2 TD's to close the game out was massive.

A- Agree. Love Josh but he has to be better than that. It’s his third year and for all practical purposes you throw the ball away, kick the FG to put the team up three scores. GAME OVER. Again great game but he has to recognize in that situation, no turnover and no sack.

Orlando Buffalo Posted October 5, 2020 Posted October 5, 2020 It is nice that our argument can be whether he earned an A not whether one of our former QBs earned the B when we really know they deserve the C. 1

Ha. "It was a C+ because of that one 9 yard first down!" "You're nuts! D-! On that 3rd and 8 he got 7 yards! They should have gone for it!" 1
