Josh's best throw

[Ethan in Cleveland]

I think the most impressive and crazy athletic only JA can do throw was the 20 yard dart to Cook while running to his left and throwing it at least 5 yards back to his right.  

 

The throw that was the most professional was the modified wheel (ran through the o-line instead of around the outside of the o-line) route over the shoulder arching pass to Johnson.  That was just perfection.  Probably the best touch deep throw he has ever made.

That first pass to Johnson is so beautiful.  However the route design is even better. Most up the field pass patterns like that by a RB go outside the OT and up the sideline.  This one Johnson goes between the OT/OG and up the seam while angling toward the sideline.  This keeps the LB flat footed at first and then allows Johnson to keep running away from him toward the sideline.  Just a killer design.  Not sure I've seen that route before.  If other have let me know.

I read Josh was running 16 MPH to his left when he hit Cook in stride running at least as fast in the opposite direction. Phenomenal throw that even he probably couldn’t do twice in a row.

I picked the throw to Cook.  Some QBs would need to come to more of a stop and square their hips to make that throw to even a stationary target.  That lets the pursuing defender close and maybe affect the play.  Josh makes that throw without slowing down, side arms it like a shortstop to first base but Cook is moving to the right and Josh hits him in his chest.   Don't see many throws like that even attempted.

Yeah that one does look even more impressive from that angle.

I think Allen to Kincaid on 4th-down was the most important catch in Kincaid’s 27-games as a Bill.

I thought that throw to Ty Johnson between 3 defenders as he rolled out, dances back and then throws a laser low almost 30 yards downfield for him to go get was one of the most unbelievable throws I have ever seen.

 

It looked like one of those crazy plays you do on Madden that you are like "well I'll never see that in real life", but then Allen actually does it in real life.

 

But I mean the sicko throw to Cook across his body running left throwing back right and he puts it on a line perfectly in stride and the Coleman throw are almost equally unbelievable.

 

It's just crazy how he has a season+ worth of highlights for most QBs in a single game.

My personal favorite was the Kincaid BB pass that didn't count. His best pass was the rocket to Keon. Ty & Dawson bailed Josh out by catching 2 overthrows.

I’m going with all of the above, just sayin…,

The really crazy thing is that he’s gone hyperbolically Favre-like with off schedule throws all while protecting the ball *better*.
 

This is a guy who’s figured out exactly how many pixie sticks to eat pre game.

I know this won't go over well, but he actually reminds me of prime Aaron Rodgers.  He always made the difficult throws look so easy.

The fact that there is as many as 8 to pick from, is pretty incredible. What a time to be a Bills fan. I don't know if we'll win the SB, but I'm making sure to enjoy the ride.

I voted for the one at 0:57 in this clip. The amount of subtle absurdity to pull the ball down to drop the defensive players arms, then put it right over his helmet with a quick release, right into the middle of 3 defenders hitting a second level receiver dead in stride that he shouldn't even have been able to SEE. I don't think even Madden lets you do stuff that.

I'm taking the 3rd and 4 corner route to Kincaid. Two reasons:

 

1) The difficulty of the throw. That pass has to be dropped in a bucket with the CB in decent position behind and a safety closing. Kincaid doesn't even have to put his hands up to catch it, it drops right into the breadbasket. This is a throw that takes more than just Josh's natural physical talents, it is the culmination of all the work he's put in to fixing his mechanics. The definition of "uh oh, Happy learned how to putt."

 

2) The difficulty of the moment. It's easy to forget now but this was a critical play in the game. 3rd down, a punt here would have been devastating and let Detroit right back into the game. It doesn't get more clutch than making that throw in that moment to take all the wind out of Detroit's sails. As a DC you just have to shake your head and accept you aren't stopping this guy.
