If Gabe Davis could figure out how to line up properly he would have had a TD.

 

Allen didn't play great but a D+ is ridiculous. Last week was a D+ maybe...

 

This week was maybe a B-...if he put the ball on Kroft a little better he walks in for a TD. There was nothing but green grass...instead he did his impersonation of Daniel Jones but from further away...

 

Other than that Allen played clean and made mostly accurate throws and good decisions. Red Zone inefficiencies were not good but Bills are among the best in the NFL over the last 3 years at RZ TDs so I won't panic. 

 

If Tyler Kroft would have kept his feet when he was all alone Josh would have had a 2nd TD

The fumble wasn't his fault. The pocket collapsed immediately. He didn't even have time to secure the ball.

 

I agree but the almost fumble on the series before was a little lucky and so were the dropped picks.

WEEK ONE: B+

WEEK TWO: A+

WEEK THREE: B+

WEEK FOUR: A-

WEEK FIVE: B-

WEEK SIX: D

 

WEEK SEVEN: D+

 

30/43 - 70% completion - 307 yards - 0 TD - 0 INT - 61 yards rushing - 1 fumble

 

I will address the elephant in the room first - yes, he has a D+ despite throwing for 300 yards. First and foremost that 300 yard thing was mainly a "Bills" stat that we were all obsessed with and frankly in his 3rd year we have to move on from that glorified marker. Josh Allen gets a D+ today because he made way too many mistakes in the red zone and our offense relied on a rookie kicker to SCORE ALL OF OUR POINTS.

 

The good: there were drives where Josh took what the defense gave us and drove us all the way down the field. He also had 3 potential TD passes that didn't end up happening: the first to Gabe Davis which got called back because he wasn't lined up correctly. The second one to Beasley, but he didn't establish position to get back in before the catch, and lastly, the one that hurt me the most, the beauty to Kroft which would have been such a cool moment for someone who just welcomed a new child into this world.

 

The bad: I'm sure I was not alone in receiving text messages from friends that Josh had that "panic" look in his eyes again. It reminds me of when someone studies for a test, shows up in the classroom confident and ready, and then opens the page and realizes that the teacher switched the test questions. He simply refuses at times to take what the defense gives him and always tries for the hero ball play. Wide open receivers underneath only to be forcing it into windows that don't exist. He needs to be better.

 

The ugly: Red zone decisions. The fumble was just terrible and sadly, was somewhat expected after he got away with that first fumble but luckily his knee was down. The 3rd and short where he decided to selfishly keep the ball rather than give it to Moss was way too obvious and has become an instant read for defenders.

 

Glass half full: it's a road division win and they usually never come easy. Vegas set us up for disaster with such a huge point spread, and coming off 2 losses to face a 0-6 team had trap game written all over it but we did what was needed to get the W. The offense got Bass in FG position and he delivered. The defense made key stops and had essential turnovers to bring Darnold back down to reality.

 

We are 5-2 getting ready to face the Pats. We are in good shape and I have confidence this team will continue to rally through these injury bugs (missing John Brown is huge for Josh) and win this division.

 

GO BILLS!

 


You’re the guy who claimed to have a cousin who said Bell was signing with Buffalo.  You haven’t owned up to it.  Were you lying?

Do the mods ever ban someone for just having a horrible opinion? 


No but he could probably get himself banned for making up false stories a week and a half ago.

It wasn't an almost fumble. He hit the ground and the ball popped out. That happens all the time, it is never considered to be a fumble. The first almost interception I am 50/50 on. I don't mind throwing the ball to your big WR in single coverage but he needed to throw it higher. The 2nd almost interception was his worst throw of the day for sure, totally misread the defense.

If this was a game against anyone other than the Jets it's a loss and Allens' woes in the red zone are a problem.

They covered well today in the red zone. Gannon broke it down multiple times. He's also not the one out there throwing the flags or getting penalized. Three of those flags pushed us back in the red zone and one took a TD off the board.

The dropped picks I can live from time to time.  Goes with the territory IMO. Same way I could live with Jim Kelly for throwing a pick. Allens football is coming at you faster then anything you have ever seen DB. You better have good hands. Comparing the two Allen is already much better at protecting the football in the air then JK IMO.

I didn't see much panic.  He was forced (not chosen by him) to scramble a lot today and did pretty good scrambling too.  My opinion anyways

Lol. It’s his fault Gabe didn’t set himself. Also his fault Kroft did a face plant in open field. O shot themselves in the foot a lot of the time today. You don’t see many games where offenses don’t punt. Game definitely could of been a blowout but a D+ is ridiculous bud.

My best understanding of the game is that the Jets managed to take away the intermediate and deep parts of the field while trying to heat him up with the blitz. The gameplan seemed to take too long to catch up to that. Once we started running, playing the short game, and getting josh out of the pocket things went our way.
