This throw is so good, it deserves its own thread

[stevewin]

The biggest thing about this throw was Diggs was the first option - to go through that progression first, see it's not open, then find Knox and so calmly just drop it in the bucket with the distance, margin, conditions - just ridiculous

My favorite Josh Allen throw so far was in the Thanksgiving game against Dallas in 2019.  We were 8-3 but everyone in the world seemed to think this was the game that would humble us.  Down 7-0 and backed up at our 2 yard line on 3rd and 10 Josh evaded pressure in the end zone and then uncorked a 20-yard line drive to Cole Beasley directly between the outstretched arms of a CB and safety.  Literally anyone else throwing the ball and it's 6 points coming back the other way.

 

 

   Actually my second favorite from my favorite game.

   I can’t even remember the game two years ago where he throw that 50 yarder on a rope and drops it over a Lb or Safety. Craziest pass I’ve ever seen with one from Kurt Warner being the second craziest.

Was watching the game last night and said the same thing. I think that was his best throw of the game. Just flicks it over a bunch of dudes. Also kudos to Dorsey for the play design.

Yeah...and the crazy thing about it is the degree of difficulty is like a 8 or 9 out of 10 but he makes it look like it's nothing...just a routine play we have come to expect from him.

The bigger the moment, the better Josh is usually.

 

Except on 4th and Goal on the throw to McKenzie last week...but that was under extreme circumstances. I'll give him a mulligan for that.

Fatigued arm like a baseball pitcher after he hits a certain pitch count.  You could tell the heat, amount of pass attempts and running plays got the best of him by the way the ball wasn’t rocketing off his arm as usual.

That type of fatigue from the heat pretty much negatively effects everything you do both physically and mentally

There are a handful that can make that throw.  I suspect there are maybe 2 that can make it with their front foot pointed the wrong direction, no step, flat-footed, and a wrist flick.

 

The majority of NFL QB's can make that throw.  That really is not that difficult a throw with no pressure in his face. The plays he makes with pressure are what differentiates him and the elite QB's from everyone else.  It would be more of a surprise if an NFL QB couldn't make that throw than an NFL QB making that throw. He excels under pressure and while throwing into a tight window.  That throw probably is not even a top 5 in the game.

Flick of the wrist. I think it's new to his arsenal. He said he got it from watching Aaron Rogers.

1. Confidence in Dawson to catch it

2. Confidence in his arm get it there

3. Insane skillset that only Rogers has to pinpoint that throw 

 

The throw Andy Dalton made to put us in the playoffs against the Ravens a few years back was a much better throw than this one.  The majority of guys can make that throw.  Not  just Rogers and Allen.  It really is a throw they are expected to be able to make.

I saw the title to this thread and knew this throw was coming.  He got flat-footed when he pumped, so it was a pure arm throw.  In other words, it was one of those throws where his mechanics were wrong.  Didn't matted.   Just dropped it right in there like it was no big deal.   Amazing throw.

It's funny because when he made that throw I remember thinking the only other guy in the league who could make that throw so effortlessly is Rodgers.  Feels surreal to have a Bills QB possess such elite traits

Look at Shaw's post below yours to understand why that throw was so incredible

You're pooping me right now

If he keeps this up the NFL will have to let defenses play with 12 men on the field.

If that throw needs it’s own thread, this thread needs an Emmy.  Most unbelievable moment in tv history.

I really didn't like the tackle.  I thought Knox was going to get hurt on that one.

On the injury report and this hit might have been cause.

My son's and I felt the same way live.  "How great was that throw in that situation?"

I know Linen. 
 

This is all I think of when I see Allen make these throws.

 

Stronger than a locomotive, able to leap tall LBers in a single bound.  It’s Super Allen!

Maybe that is "his mechanics". 

 

If he doesn't make that throw the Bills are punting and probably a completely different conversation this week.

And this is my problem with analysis like Brett Kollman that I posted elsewhere.  He saw what the Dolphins did as far as stopping key plays, limiting deeper throws, and having half-a-dozen passes they should have intercepted - when it was 115 degrees on the field and Josh played 40 minutes with no shade when off, and he says "Ah Ha!"

 

But I see a throw like that and ratch back to the Dolphins game and say, half-a-dozen of those throws would have been completions only Josh can make if he only had a fraction more time to set and he weren't being run to the ground, physically

 

I have to say I don't know how Dorsey coached Allen as a QB coach and how Joe Brady is handling it, because Allen's technique is often all wrong and yet the result is All Right!    Kurt Wagner used to drive me nuts nitpicking Josh's technique but he's given up at this point and just throws in an occasional "Kids, don't try this on your home field" to point out that you have to be in a "room of your own" to complete some of those.

I’m not sure i’d really say that was an insane throw. A lot of NFL QB’s can make that throw.

 

But Josh has some throws that I think only he makes. The first one in this video is bonkers:

The one to Diggs for the two point conversion is my favorite.

As soon as I read the title I knew it would be the Knox catch.
