If Allen is afraid of overthrowing so his correction is to routinely under-throw, he is not elite. Had Diggs wide open, no need to hang onto the ball that long. Ok your the man 👍.. go enjoy the elite qb’s playing 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So maybe people are just trying to talk in a way that will allow some level of conversation. Josh did not seem to be the problem in this game. He played well. As far as if he should have hit those deep throws, maybe it does have some merit. When is the last pure deep ball Josh has hit in stride? Pittsburgh last year? It seems like he is often late on these. He's also a viable MVP candidate. Even if he misses some deep balls. Thank you. You get it obviously 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shemp Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 I think it's a chronic problem that for some reason, Josh doesn't have a good ability to lead his receivers. 1 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So all the other elite passes he makes means nothing because of the 2 he threw today? Is that how it works now? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Is that how it works now? no, he cannot make those passes almost ever. When is the last in stride TD pass he has thrown over 20 yards? He makes lazers in short windows for sure, but he needs to make the routine ones also. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JMM Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 It is weird, I've noticed that this year. Used to be the opposite! He would sail his long passes..🤷♂️ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ALG1130 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 Total offense today was 388 or something like that. Josh had about 360 yards, 3 TDs today. I am so mad at myself for even being involved in this thread. My bad. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Generic_Bills_Fan Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 1 hour ago, mrags said: Careful there. I’ve brought this exact thing up in the past. And people just keep telling me that the throws are amazing and not many in the league can make these throws. Still doesn’t take away from the fact that he seems to consistently underthrow passes when his WRs are streaking deep for what should be walk in TDs. he’s done this since he started in the league. His first few years he had quite a few of these to Foster and Brown as well. Lol it’s clearly under thrown but an impressive enough play given the circumstances. No one is telling you the throw was perfectly on target but when he’s dancing around in a collapsing pocket to buy enough time to make that play you’ve gotta give him some benefit of the doubt I think most of it is negative bias where he hits a deep throw in stride and people just take it for granted and when one is slightly off target it seems like he’s missing them all Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bills11 Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 It's Josh overcompensating for his arm strength most likely..in the his first few years Allen would at times over throw ( not enough arc) john brown and diggs the first season he came to Buffalo so he tends to leave them a bit shorter at times. But in alot of these cases its just him missing because hes unable to step in due to pressure Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am so mad at myself for even being involved in this thread. My bad. That’s kind of a misrepresentation of todays offensive performance though. Nearly half (43%) of the offenses total yardage came in the last 3 minutes and 41 seconds of the game. For the vast majority of the game, we could not move the ball. Our drives prior to those final 3 minutes were: Punt Punt Punt Punt Touchdown Punt Punt Interception .

Our receivers aren't waddle or hill so yes Josh is taking velocity off to make sure he has a higher chance of completing it. And so far in all reality it's working.

HappyDays Posted October 8, 2023 Share Posted October 8, 2023 35 minutes ago, GunnerBill said: He didn't have the momentum. He was trying to come back to the ball. The DB was attacking it. Just the laws of physics favoured the defender. Would have been an incredible grab if he came down with it. I've seen Diggs make that exact catch several times. Two that I can remember off the top of my head were against Oakland and Miami in 2020. Allen was giving his WR1 a chance against a 5'9 CB with pressure all around him. Diggs knows he should have had that one... But I won't get too mad at him, he was the only offensive player other than Allen to show up consistently before the game was out of hand. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like the game was ever out of hand. Good defense by The Jags, sus calling on offense(trying to get Cooks run game going when it wasn't working), dropped passes, egregious flags and a half dead defense, yet we had a chance, mostly because of Allen and Epenesa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
