How could that ball have been more perfect? Hits Davis exactly, precisely, in stride, where the safety had no chance at it, despite being draped all over Davis. And the throw was, what, 55 yards in the air? It also happened to be not just an amazing throw, but also an amazing catch and amazing defense. How often do you see those three amazings line up? I agree. Thought this was his best throw of the game. The first throw, yes, he has to anticipate Davis coming open, but on this one Davis never really was open and he drops the ball in perfectly. That was an amazing throw. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually watching the replay Josh threw the ball from his own 32, and Davis and Minkah get their hands on the ball at the 6, so 62 [18+44] yards in the air, with the runner and db in full stride. the 98 yard play was "only" 48 yards in the air. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Might not have been his best long throw of the day. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShakAttack Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 This would be a good time for a Top 10 highlight reel. Especially Ever since he learned to throw the deep ball, Allen has had so many ridiculous throws I’ve lost track. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will have to go back and look at that throw. I thought it was just a tad behind (which allowed the defender to try to fight for the ball).

DanDrasticHill Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Josh said he saw the safeties moving outside, so double coverage, and the corner looked a little flat-footed so he put it up. HOW? The way he sees the field is incredible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
H2o Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 The 75 yard TD in the Playoffs last year to Gabe Davis has to be up there in the top 3, if not #1. The ball was 65 yards in the air and dropped right in the bucket, in perfect stride, for a TD. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LabattBlue Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I can't decide if on the 2nd TD, it was a great effort by Davis, or a terrible one by Fitzpatrick. 😂 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I still think Allen's best throw ever was the long TD to Robert Foster in his rookie year, against the Jags, I think. He was under extreme pressure and fired a missile that Foster plucked out of the air perfectly, then cruised into the end zone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
US Egg Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Allen has thrown so many great long passes it’s become a pick your favorite more than pick his best. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WideNine Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 So many jaw-dropping JA 17 throws to choose from... What a problem to have. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobbRiddick Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I always loved the one as a rookie vs the Jags, just because he was being hit simultaneously by 3 or 4 players as he flicked it to Foster 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This throw was sensational. Maybe my personal favorite. It's only buried because of the hail Mary that followed. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubes Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Slightly off topic, and I know a lot of people can’t stand Jim Nantz, but I can’t get enough of the way he excitedly pronounces Gabe Davis’s name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethan in Cleveland Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 2 hours ago, Big Turk said: It was a good throw, but I don't think it was his best. The two that come to mind for me in terms of best throws are the one against the Pats in 2020 in NE(38-9 beatdown) where he runs right then doubles back left, is being chased by a Pats DLineman, stops, flips his hips and then throws a missile while of his back foot to Diggs who makes a diving catch in the EZ for a TD. Put it in a perfect place where only Diggs could catch it with a defender in tight coverage. A throw only maybe one or two other QB's would even consider throwing. The other was the back foot laser to Diggs against the Cards that gave them the lead late in the game in 2020 where Diggs smoked Peterson, Allen didn't even step into the throw and threw a freaking 25 yard laser to Diggs for a perfect throw to the front pylon for a TD. But I mean honestly there are a plethora of other throws you could choose from...it's like every game 3 or 4 throws that just make you shake your head in terms of how could that throw be possible. Agree. I think the Diggs TD in the Cardinals game was his best. Heck just yesterday the second Davis TD and the Shakir post pattern around three guys may have been better throws.

Maine-iac Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 Trying to find a rookie heave to Foster for a long TD but I'm not sure it's a better throw it's just a throw that comes to mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LOVEMESOMEBILLS Posted October 10, 2022 Share Posted October 10, 2022 I'm not sure if it was his best pass of the game. The 2nd td to Gabe traveled 64 yards in the aid and was placed perfectly away from Fitzpatrick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
