Yeah, that 98 yard drive in the 3rd quarter on Sunday was embarrassing!? Seriously, though, the third quarter has not typically been that strong for the entire offense, not just Allen. I do feel they will become more consistent as the year goes on.

It actually feels even more pronounced in this fan base. Almost as if a number of fans are so jaded from the last 18+ years, that they are convincing themselves that this team is not really that good in order to say "I knew it" when (in their minds) they inevitably collapse or fail. Just my opinion

He actually didn't ankle takle him. He was coming in from the side and hit him in the ribs, he just wasn't able to wrap up. His mistake was not getting his helmet on the front side and hitting him a little more in the front than the side. I wouldn't characterize it as "one of the worst efforts of the game."

Please explain

Honestly, why do some fans feel the need to put an asterisk next to every Bills win - or to qualify it in some way?

B. He has had some head scratching moments (Still trying to figure out that NE game plan); however, there have been some moments when he feels like an upper echelon OC as well. Overall, the offense is moving the ball and Allen, although he still has a long way to go, has come a long way from a year ago. I think consistency and execution in the opposition's 40 - 20 yard range will result in more points - but, I put that more on the players than Daboll.

Maybe you are just angry with yourself and projecting it onto other people. It is clear you are having some sort of identity crisis. I can get you the good name of a therapist. It might help you be happier with who you really are.

Are you saying he doesn't have the cajones to post under his real username?

It's a lot of fun being over here on the objective, rational, and optimistic side of things. You should try it. Maybe you won't have to keep coming back under different user names.

I was responding to another poster in saying I hope in the next ten years he leads the team to some SB victories. Since I would hope the same thing for any QB leading the Bills, I'm not sure what your issue is. It certainly isn't homerism. It is merely optimism - oh, the insanity!

I'm pretty sure you equated him to "JP/Trent/Fitz/EJ/Thad/Tyrod" in the post I responded to. So, maybe in that post?

Another long time lurker, first time poster, who chose this moment -after a game in which Allen made no boneheaded mistakes, after a game in which he came through in the clutch when his team needed him, after a win, in a season where he is 5-1 as a starter - to join the forum and let us all know how bad Allen is...??? Or maybe you are just another previously banned or ignored poster...

Ah, and who were you in a previous life? Must be the day for reincarnations....

Let's hope, in ten years, those same folks are saying, "Yeah, he won 3 Super Bowls, but he should have won all four..."

Your son stated that he has been following this site for the last 15-20 years before joining today. Shouldn't that make him old enough to fight his own battles and to move out of the house?

Shhhhh...

I think so too - and, we can't expect them to be lights out every game. When they aren't, the offense has to come through.

Never is such a definitive adjective...so authoritative and unconditionally conclusive. You seem quite omniscient... Can you tell us what is going to happen in the stock market over the next few years?

Haahaa! Yeah, there are times I really wonder what is going on Daboll's head - there are moments I feel like he is demonstrating upper echelon OC abilities and moments wher I just go, WTF? Like you say, at least Allen can fall back on his youth and inexperience to explain those moments of not recognizing something or just making bone-headed mistakes

Will this never end...

I am absolutely with you on this. I was beyond scratching my head as the NE game unfolded. It was as if he chose to try to exploit NE's primary strengths rather than weaknesses. The gameplan he had in Tenn is exactly what he should have doen with NE. Early in yesterday's game, it was as if he wanted to be overly creative against a bad defensive team...

Actually, they were not very good yesterday - not by their standards. They gave up way too many long, time consuming drives.

Oh, for the love of God...

Of course you don't. Because you only see what you want to see. He proved you wrong in his ability to improve his short passing game, he proved you wrong in his ability to improve his overall accuracy, and he will continue to prove you wrong... and you will continue to focus on the negative aspects of his game...
