HappyDays Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I'll be the one to say it - what he did on the field was more impressive than what Worthy did on the field. Still not expecting him to be a dominant force or anything like that this year but you can see the raw skills that made him a good pick at that spot. Drawing two flags should count in his favor as well. 6 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dillenger4 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 He looked good. Nothing flashy, nothing "oh my god", just plain good. And that's what we need. Consistency. He will grow as a player and be good for this team. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RobbRiddick Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 I was really pleased with his game. The penalties he drew. That catch down the sideline. I think he'll have some games where he gets zero catches, but mixed in will be some spectacular catches that help us win games. I'll be okay with that from a rookie. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 There were some snaps in the second half with Hollins and Coleman being the only two WRs on the field. Were they doing that in the first half too? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freddie's Dead Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 The catch where the DB was all over him, pulling his jersey, no DPI call, and Coleman just said "MY BALL!!!!" Didn't wait for the refs, even though that was DPI all day long. I don't remember the last time a Bills receiver just ripped away the ball with such complete authority. That's my WR!!!! 3 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 1 hour ago, DBilz2500 said: Was pretty impressed with Coleman’s first game-4 catches for 51 yards with the big 29 yard catch in the 4th quarter. Thought he also blocked well on the few running plays I watched him specifically. I believe he also drew a DPI and a defensive holding penalty. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
billsbackto81 Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 40 minutes ago, GoBills808 said: The way he moved out there weirdly reminds me of Stevie Johnson Basketball background. Really knows how to use is body to shield off defenders. At first I thought he pushed off on his long reception but he didn't. He boxed out the defender like he was positioning for a rebound. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 54 minutes ago, thenorthremembers said: Happy he had a good first game. That said, he still will have to answer the question about creating space. Also it was a push off Well then we will have to just live with the one push off they call out of every 10 he does which is totally fine. Pretty sure that is about the rate the officials tend to call push offs on the offense. Fact is Keon was called for zero penalties today while he drew two flags on the defense. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Success Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 He's big & strong, great hands - and I think he actually looked kinda fast out there. Just what we need. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WhitewalkerInPhilly Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 40 minutes ago, Einstein said: The catch he made on the sidelines was better than any catch Worthy made this week, i’ll tell ya that. It was special. It got me excited. That's along what I was thinking. Yes, Worthy got the splash play TDs but they were on a trick play end around and a busted coverage. I haven't yet seen the nuances to be a WR at the highest level there Coleman's routes and body positions was perfect 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, he was actually being interfered with when the ball was coming in. The corner was tearing at the front collar of his jersey and it didn't affect Coleman at all. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sammy Watkins' Rib Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 56 minutes ago, Simon said: It was a skilled and intelligent pushoff though. He understands to make the motion quick and violent, before the top of the route while the ref is shielded and doing it without extending his arm. Very effective and will typically go uncalled. Yep, officials just are not that likely to call a WR for contact. Tee Higgins had a massive pull down (wasn't a push off but rather a big grab and pull) on Ramsey in the Super Bowl that enabled him to get position to catch the ball and it went uncalled for a TD. 2 minutes ago, WhitewalkerInPhilly said: Coleman's routes and body positions was perfect The basketball background really shows. He's comfortable with body contact. Probably part of the reason why he doesn't get a lot of separation. He's not really trying to get separation.

Bob in STL Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 (edited) Really good first game for a rookie. He led the team in targets, catches, receiving yards. Big contested catch. Drew two penalties. He looks like an impressive physical specimen that likes to play football. Edited September 8 by Bob in STL 5 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HappyDays Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 Yep he's our #1 WR. All the offseason talk was about slots and TEs, but ultimately Josh Allen's offense will always run through the boundary. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chris heff Posted September 8 Share Posted September 8 1 hour ago, Big Turk said: I mean that's a fair point, I guess I am questioning the logic of that play when the clear advantage would be for throwing short, having Coleman turn around and box out the shorter player. Allen has never been good inside the 5 yard line on passes...he was worst in the NFL the last few years Could that stat be skewed because Josh like to take off and run when that close?
