But he has cleaned it up lately, far less often does he eat a surfer thinking they're a seal.

I said the same thing. He really wanted to.

Right?! You watch Josh enough and you can read his expressions and body language. Kinda funny.

There's still a little reckless abandon in this SuperStar qb.  He'll never stop making a play to help this team. We've seen it 100x.....

I heard all of WNY screaming no at the same time.

I had like 47 Josh Allen flashbacks all rolled into the two seconds where I thought he was going to pitch the football.  I'm not even sure he stopped himself as much as the Ravens stopped him from attempting it.

I wish he would have pitched it. It was there.

Yeah but the back would’ve been stopped at the same spot. It was going nowhere. There wasn’t space to run right or left.

I don't hate it, since he swallowed the ball. If he was 50% less wrapped up, and Cook was on the same page it could have been a walk in TD.

There was also the non-handoff to Ty Johnson that Josh got stopped on.  Ty walked untouched into the end zone.

First time watching Josh Allen Experience?

 

I'm shocked he didn't find a way to pitch it out there. 

I’m still so mad his ridiculous 12 yard two handed shotput td against Detroit got called back for a complete phantom hold…why do we get hit with phantom holds so often I just don’t understand it

Can't believe we didn't tush push to go up 31-19.  Instead, we go shotgun and put the QB at the 6-yard line.

It looked like a real long tush push…felt like they knew they wanted to kick the fg on 4th and for the tush push plan you really would’ve had to do it back to back plays with is a bit of a risk

That's why you do it on 3rd down.  Two likely outcomes - (1) you score a TD or (2) it's 4th and inches.  Less likely outcome - you get stuffed for no gain, and if that's the case, you still have the FG in your pocket.  If the Ravens tie it up and we lose in OT, we are coming back to that play and why you didn't tush push twice if needed.  Romo was all over that and I agree.   It almost cost us.
