Josh Allen Quotes

Like I always say, it's not how many great plays you make; it's how few bad ones you make. I know fans, and even some losing coaches, are enamored with long pass completions or the great run plays, but that doesn't offset the interception or the fumble.

Rick Neuheisel was recruiting me, and he told me something, and I'll never forget it: he said you make your money in the red zone. If you're down there, that's already three points, so don't turn the ball over. I kind of took that to heart, and I'm always very careful in the red zone.

It's just boring to see a team punt the ball and have the returner fair-catch the ball all the time.

You better not kick a field goal if you have a lousy defense.

I'm not a 25-interception quarterback, I know that.

Nobody I ever broke bread with, and I see players all the time, talked about using their head running the football.

I'm a high-risk taker on the court in the sense of trying to squeeze things in there.

The Bears treat offense as if it's bubonic plague.

I have matured in my shot selection but will not discard my style. I don't believe in wasting balls.

I have a lot of confidence in my game. I love to play with confidence, be aggressive, and that's just how I've always done it.

You can't score if you're turning it over. It's like a punt. If you go out and you punt 12 times, you're not scoring points. That's not good. So, when you turn the ball over and throw interceptions, you're giving the other team more opportunities and your team less opportunities.

My career has been defined, in a good way, on the option route. And a lot of times, it's a bang-bang play. It's a great play because it can convert first downs. But at the same time, you don't get a lot of those opportunities in the open field.

We will never play for a draw, as it doesn't make sense. Come on, you make a 0-0 plan, you get one goal after five minutes, and it's finished. The players look and say, 'Now what?'

Third down is a big thing with a quarterback: pinpoint accuracy, making good decisions.

When you take shots downfield, you want to be good at them.

Any time a quarterback can protect the ball and not throw interceptions, that's huge.

That's the most important thing in football: you need to take chances when you get them.

Really, you don't want to think about yards after the catch when the ball is in the air. You want to think about catching the ball. And then let the rest play its way out.

Football is open; it is not only keeping possession of the ball and making more passes.

As we play, I just kind of make the best decision and try to move the chains.

I play a lot quicker, in quite an attacking style, play a few little crazy shots sometimes that other players wouldn't take.

It comes to the point where, if a midrange shot is there, I'm going to take it. If I'm open, I have to shoot that shot. That's a great shot for the team and myself.

You've got one football and a lot of times, defenses dictate where the ball goes.

In golf, you keep trying to score well when you're ahead. In basketball, they don't quit shooting when they're ahead. In hockey, they don't quit shooting the puck when they're ahead. And in boxing, you don't quit punching when you're ahead. But in football, somehow magically, you're supposed to quit playing when you're ahead.

When you play against a Spanish team, especially Madrid, it is quite an open game.
