QB Bills

However bad he is at tackling, he's much worse at covering. Get this bum off the field and let Kevin Johnson play.

I've been his biggest critic this season, but outside of that terrible possession inside the Steelers' 10, I thought he played relatively well yesterday against the best defense in football (imo).

I liked it too. And at the risk of another team doing what we did to the Steelers, it has to be something that only works for the Bills. Would be funny seeing a predominantly white crowd singing the lyrics to this..

This thread is completely absurd. Collinsworth was drooling all over Tre for the whole game. He was very complimentary to Allen, pointing out how talented he is and that he just needs to work on the finer details - even the most optimistic fan would agree to that. He spoke glowingly about Edmunds and Phillips on multiple occasions. He lauded McDermott and the staff. What more do you want? It seems like many of you would only be happy if he also trashed Pittsburgh. Unfortunately, national broadcasts don't work like that. You're better off listening to the pompom-wearing analysis of Sal Capaccio if objectivity isn't your style.

Totally agree. Him and Frazier have done wonders on the defensive side of the ball. But I wish he had zero say on what happens with the offense. He's far too conservative for the modern game.

I disagree that he's not a #1 receiver. What is your criteria? No, he's not 6'3 nor is he a high draft pick. And he plays in a running offense with an inconsistent QB. What he's done this year has been remarkable. What more would you want out of him to consider him a #1?

Not sure you meant this as a compliment, but thank you anyway. As Robert Baratheon says, that's called "making the eight".

Such homers on this board. Collinsworth was excellent as he almost always is.

It was a rhetorical question, Paul Blart. Take it easy.

Only from when I started watching.. Levy Phillips Williams Mularkey Jauron Gailey Fewell Marrone Ryan Lynn McDermott Is this right? I'd be impressed with myself if it is.

The rare double triple negative. Impressive.

It's a 4pm start time. It'll be dark before halftime so of course the stadium will be lit, unless that rapscallion Billy B is up to some chicanery again.

This is the correct analysis of the play. Allen needs to get to this level of awareness and he'll be a force.

I didn't notice him, so you're right. But I just find that Kevin Johnson is "stickier" to receivers.

I'm surprised at that stat. I thought Allen would be way lower. What are the stats for total fumbles regardless of who recovers? Bad reindeer..?

BBFS has me now afraid of which anonymous Steelers receiver Levi Wallace is going to make a star this Sunday. Hoping McClappy keeps Kevin Johnson as the full time CB2 out there.

Thanks KtD. I will definitely be back there one day.

The Jets

This is kind of a late update, but just wanted to say thanks to those who suggested Busby's for the game Sunday. It was a struggle getting up after a long Saturday night but so worth it, even though the end result wasn't so great. And a special thanks to all the kind people there who were friendlier than I could have imagined. Scott, Jeff and a few others who's names I didn't catch. Not sure if you're on this board, but thanks for your hospitality. The highlight though.. Never change, Bills fans.

Allen has all the tools to be a really good QB in this league. And I think Daboll is a good coordinator for him. But I'm worried that McDermott's lack of balls is what's going to ruin his development. You can see he's been coached to not underthrow deep balls so there's no risk of an interception. What's the saying? To make an omelette, you have to crack some eggs? McDermott needs to play the long game here and take the bad with the good. Right now, it seems his plan is to okay the occasional overthrow to "keep the defense honest" with no real intention to complete it. In an ideal world he should have nothing to do with the offense whatsoever.

Good calls on here. One other guy I'd add.. Richie Incognito. That guy is scum

Awesome! Thanks so much for the replies, all. Any thoughts on what time I should get there? Do they stop letting people in if it's at a certain capacity?

Awesome, thanks! Does it fill up? Should I get there early?

Hey all, In LA this weekend. Just wanted to know if Busby's is still the place to be for the Bills game Sunday morning. I've never been but a quick google search said that was where I should be. Their site hasn't been updated since last year though (or I'm not looking in the right spot). If not there, can anyone recommend a good sports bar with a big screen that will also have the audio? Thanks in advance!

The NFL world is so reactionary. LJ is the latest "we've never seen anything like this before" flavour of the week. RG3's rookie year. Chip Kelly's up tempo scheme. Miami with the wildcat. Mcvay's offense just last season. All these coaches and players try to revolutionize the game and then someone (usually Bill Belichick) comes and sh*ts all over their plans and we have to see the Patriots make another super bowl at the end of the year. The same thing is going to happen this year. The Ravens aren't getting by New England in January.
