Pirate Angel Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 Hoping he plays under center more, playing in the gun so much indicates he may have needed more help seeing the defense. Also handing the ball off that much deeper in the back field is part of the reason our running game wasnt as effective.

sherpa Posted June 3, 2021 Posted June 3, 2021 Knock off the wacky huge loss sacks and fumbles. Put the ball in the receivers hands where they don't have to break stride, reach too far, and otherwise disrupt their ability to run after catch. Thankfully, he seems to know that, as has mentioned it as an offseason goal, but it is an accuracy thing. That's one of the things about Brady. He puts it right on the numbers in the receiver's stride. Josh doesn't, but he usually gets it there. Weird thing, he usually nails the sideline routes like nobody I've seen.

mjt328 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 6 hours ago, gobillsinytown said: The major things I saw from last year: Cutting down on fumbles. Getting a little too "amped up" for the major games. I saw his emotions run away with him on a couple of occasions. Keep cutting down on the tendency to "hero ball" and expose himself to unnecessary hits. He's a young guy so these things are to be expected and will get better with time so long as he focuses on being more disciplined. Looking at the HOF QB's I see one trait that gets overlooked: Most of the time they take what the defense gives them. The best QB's will always find a hole in the defense, so it's rare for them to have to put the team on their shoulders. So the next step is to become the "field general" and I have no doubt that's exactly what he'll do. Good list. I was also thinking of ball security. He seems to fumble a lot when he's running. It's the only negative side to ability to run around outside the pocket. He also definitely hasn't played his best football in the playoffs, or against the other premier teams. I want to see him occasionally dominate (think Miami, Denver, San Francisco last year) when he's playing an elite opponent. As he mentioned himself, there are also some specific throws/patterns that he could stand to improve his accuracy and timing.

ghostwriter Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 • Complete mastery over our offense intellectually like the way Peyton Manning did in Indy. • Precision no look passes. • Connecting on the deep ball more regularly with more touch.
Ethan in Cleveland Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Turnovers. He threw 10 picks last year which doesn’t seem like a lot. However Rodgers only threw 5 and Mahomes threw 6. He still fumbles a bit too much but that did get better. He has had red zone fumbles but no red-zone interceptions - though I recall at least two dropped end-zone picks. Sooner or later it will happen. Will be interesting to see how he responds.

Tannehill and the Titans whooped Josh's a** and took his lunch money last year. Yes, and there was nothing weird about that game at all. It's not like the Titans had 16 days rest or anything while Bills didn't know who they were playing against until the last minute. Also, he never took the field at the same time as Tannehill or Mariota. A win is a win is a win, so you can't say a team has another team's number when you've won against them two out of three times and the third time was one of the most asterisky situations. I want the Bills to beat the Chefs, because they clearly have our number and are the team to get past to get to the Super Bowl. I want the Bills to beat the Titans b/c last year's game still leaves a bad taste in my mouth (don't like how they flouted the rules then acted like the victims) and I want the beatdown to be thorough so there is zero doubt.
Protocal69 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 10 hours ago, Hapless Bills Fan said: IMO this is a hurdle Josh can improve. It really comes in two parts. He developed a lot at not trying to win on every play last season. But he still doesn't see/take the checkdown at times, even when the player in question has a ton of green grass around him. But the other part is, I don't think he fully trusts the guys who are out there (Singletary, Knox) to be a safe outlet leading to a good play. So they have to develop too, or else give way to someone who can get it done. Hopefully he'll continue to mature here. The Bills had 3 games with 25 or less passing attempts last season (1st NE, Chargers, and 2nd Miami). We won all 3. The MIA game he only played a half, but seems to me he performed pretty well in the other 2 games where we rushed 38 and 30 times, respectively. He has made strides in that area but he still looks a little uncomfortable with that style if game plan to me. In the New England he was barely over 60٪ passing with a int. The 2nd Miami he had 25 passing attempts for the half so I definitely wouldn't count that game. Chargers game I will give you but again some work to do. I just want the team to be able to run the ball when needed but that will come down to team effort and not just on Josh

One thing I did notice is that he didnt play his best away with live crowds! JA also admitted that the KC fans were so loud and he would be a liar and say he wasnt affected. Wonder if his emotions are the next hurdle? is that even a thing? lol If you think he has to hop over a hurdle, it can't be that big
BigAl2526 Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 I think Allen still has some upside in terms of making quicker reads, having emotional self control when the play breaks down and overall consistency. We're talking about small incremental improvements though. 1
JPP Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 This kids play last year was not a fluke.....I for one can confidentially say we got our francise QB!
machine gun kelly Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Ramza, he’s won more than enough games with crowds. Don’t you think we may have lost not because of 6000 fans or so, but because our strategy which was smart to make them run worked but worked too well. We had limping Brown, White, Milano, and Edmunds. The second game we had four WR’s banged up, and again we were out coached and outplayed. There’s no easy excuse of crowds and no fear of fans. Josh will be fine with 73,000 fans. Besides he has Neil Sedacka and Elvis to keep him calm.
GreggTX Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 1. Ball Security. 2. Ball Security 3. Continue working on all other aspects of your game.
killshot Posted June 4, 2021 Posted June 4, 2021 Taking too many unnecessary 15 yards Sacks . He needs to not try to escape backwards every time he is rush from the middle , he needs to throw an incomplete or take a 5 yard sack to give your self a better chance for the next down.
