Governor Posted November 4 Posted November 4 (edited) The first play where he decided to run, he got tackled from behind, and got up holding his hand and was motioning to the sidelines like he needed to come out. Edited November 4 by Governor Quote
Einstein Posted November 4 Posted November 4 You know we are blessed when we are asking if our All-Star quarterback is hurt because he only threw 64% and three touchdowns (with a 4th touchdown called back by penalty). 2 1 1 Quote
PoundingDog Posted November 4 Posted November 4 I said Halloween party and Yankees game. We'll never know how much the Bills would win by if he had not, right? Good thing is it is still a W. Overall, not just Allen, the whole team seemed to be played a little drunk today, from execution perspective. Keon' TD turned into a pick, Cook could not catch an open pass. Defense consistently giving up big runs - we are not facing the Ravens! Coaching wise, McDaniel clearly found his cue (run and quick passes) and the Bills did nothing to force him to abandon his plan the whole game. Last week is probably the best game the Bills played this season. It is human nature to feel good ... I expect McDermott to keep pounding the message he said in the vistory speech today - "it is not easy to win in NFL." Quote

Allen is supposed to be that QB you want on your team at the end of the game when you need to score. Watching him bummed me out right there. Umm, it was a game-winning drive. That's what you want from your QB, game-winning drives. Not every one results in a touchdown as the clock expires. Not every one looks pretty. Not every one ends with a gimme field goal. The fact is that it's a team, and the team worked together, including Allen, to go on a nine-play drive that was enough for Bass and the kicking unit to make the play their teammates needed. 1 2 Quote

The drive when he dropped a pass in the bucket downfield forcing Poyer to commit a penalty? That's as clutch a throw as you'll ever see in this league. The final pass to Kincaid, I'm glad it fell incomplete. I don't know if Allen threw it low on purpose to protect the ball, but either way if Kincaid had caught that time would have run out. 3 1 1 Quote

Wasn't Kincaid wide open and at the sideline? I saw it as he would have just easily ran OB. He threw quite a few at receivers feet today. Quote
Buffalo03 Posted November 4 Posted November 4 Sometimes he doesn't step into throws. And he did that twice on the final drive. If he steps into that throw to Kincaid, it's a TD 1 Quote

I saw it as he would have just easily ran OB. He threw quite a few at receivers feet today. He wasn't exactly at the sideline. It's possible he would have caught it and ran out of bounds with a perfect throw but that's a scary proposition with 10 seconds left on the clock. All in all I was glad it hit the turf. He did not throw "quite a few" at his receivers' feet. When we ended up like 2nd and 30 because of phantom penalties he dirted the next two. Then the one to Kincaid at the very end. His accuracy was not a problem in this game, certainly it did not cost us any points. As usual the standards for QB are absurdly high around here. Every QB misses throws. Watch some full games of the Chiefs some time - Mahomes misses plenty. Allen should have had like 5 TDs today and made enough plays to win what basically became a shootout. And yet we have someone saying they were "bummed" watching him on the game winning drive. I really don't get it. To me this was an MVP performance and the last thing I expected to see was people questioning Allen after this game. 1 6 Quote

This was what should have been Allen's game winning 4th quarter TD pass that put the Bills up by 7 with less then 6 minutes to play in the 4th quarter. 26 minutes ago, Einstein said: You know we are blessed when we are asking if our All-Star quarterback is hurt because he only threw 64% and three touchdowns (with a 4th touchdown called back by penalty). And his only INT the result of a WR letting the ball bounce off his shoulder pads at the 2 yard line and our RB dropping a perfectly thrown pass that would have resulted in a TD right before half. It is beyond weird that we see these kinds of crazy & lazy posts snipping at Allen after a win in which he was the only reason we won. As great as the Bass kick was, if we had an average QB we lose today. Edited November 4 by CincyBillsFan 4 1 1 1 1 Quote

He did throw a couple passes in the dirt. Both can exist. He is the main reason we win most of not all of our games so no snipping here. Just bummed about some aspects of that last drive.

I get it. I understand all of that. I suppose since it's online that people read into it like I'm complaining after a win and sounding like a grump. It's not the case at all. Just made an observation (in regard to the topic of the thread) that had Bass not made a kick, that I'm sure we all had our doubts he would make, we'd be chatting about that last drive. Much like any game played. The issue with me saying anything is because it was a win and I get that. Edited November 4 by Goin Breakdown Quote
The Jokeman Posted November 4 Posted November 4 As bad as Josh looked at times today we scored the 3rd most points today. Imagine had Bass made the extra points and Coleman caught the ball. Quote
Big Blitz Posted November 4 Posted November 4 Josh was fine today - I thought protection early in the game stunk. This is nice 2 Quote

To me this was an MVP performance and the last thing I expected to see was people questioning Allen after this game. I don't think these posters are setting standards at all. They're just nitpicking and it's been going on for the last few years in the face of consistently elite play by Allen. I don't know if these people are still pissed off that we took the "wrong Josh" or that they were dead wrong when they predicted that Allen would be a bust. Like you said it's like these people don't watch any other NFL games. Quote

A few of his passes had players reaching at the their knees to get a ball. Again he had a fine day but some of his passes weren't is all I'm saying. Quote
