Both he and Raymond were but there was pressure. Josh Allen would habe anticipated that and lofted it to Zylstra though. Chark was clearly the wrong read though.
The elephant in the room is simply Goff and pressure.
With all the options available and in reality two that could have likely produced TD’s I am not sure I can hate the call…I do however hate the execution.
That play could have easily netted is 7 and put us in a position to win so how is it a bad call?
Any QB in the league will say pressure from the middle is the hardest to deal with. Our guards were getting abused
When they played Stafford this year he threw three picks with a 63 RTG. Goff was well above the average QBR the Bills have been holding QBs to this year. Even Mahomes had two picks in a loss with an 85 RTG
There’s valid criticisms of Goffs game but some people here oddly complain rigorous of anything less than perfection. And no QB is perfect
Not at all, nobody is perfect. And in fairness Goff is a perfectly acceptable bottom 1/3rd of the league starter. Too good to be a back up, not good enough to truly be a contender when he’s the number one. There’s nothing wrong with that, he’s still a pretty solid QB. It’s just not who I’d tie my rebuild too in an ideal world.
Literally any and every option was open except Chark. Even then if he throws a good ball something good can happen. When you see Goff fail THIS miserably against the blitz - no wonder teams are coming after him all the time. He panics and loses his reads and becomes wildly inconsistent and his already bad pocket awareness gets to the point of being a statue
Well statistically and realistically he’s a top 3rd of the league starter. Good enough to truly be a contender. There’s nothing wrong with that. You’re welcome to feelings and impressions but that doesn’t make it true
I mean Goff outplayed Allen today behind two practice squad guards against a top five defense. Allen threw a pick and almost another to the worst linebacker on the worst defense in the league.
So Goff is garbage and we need a rookie project QB to win
Maybe. But ww saw time and again where Josh Allen understood spacing and lofted the ball into to open foeld and allowed his player to run under it. To
Hit Zylstra that’s what have needed to happen given the rush.
I still think St. was the right read. He had a step. He’s our best weapon.
