Agree. Home field advantage should be based on record. Period.

Don't leave us in suspense

Not to mention they had just dodged a bullet on a Tennessee drive and they are playing against a very good defense. It was the right decision There are times to be aggressive and times not to be aggressive. That was not the time to be aggressive

It was definitely the gameplan that should have been run against the Pats*

And, if he did, in fact, have that much confidence his offense could score a TD, then why not leave them on the field to, you know, score a TD?

And then fire himself...

Yeah, you could be right. I watched it a number of times trying to figure out if he was going to Beasley or Yeldon. I still believe it was Yeldon based on where the linebacker caught the ball and where the ball would have been, about two yards closer to the LOS, had Yeldon continued running. It will be interesting to see the all 22. Either way, you have WRs trying to adjust to a QB trying to evade a sack, and a QB trying to react to the WR's adjustments. I do not look at this as "hero ball" ( a term I personally hate) as much as the QB interpreting the adjustment of his WR and putting the ball where he thinks that WR will be. Not to mention, it involved a QB and 3 WRs who have played 5 NFL games together. It might be on the receiver or it might be on Allen; however, this constant beating of the drums by a minority (but a loud minority) of this fan base on every mistake or bad play involving Allen that it is an indication he is regressing, does more harm than good, can't read a defense, is wildly innacurate, can never learn from his mistakes, constantly tries to play hero ball, is an awful QB, will never be an NFL quality QB, hasn't improved at all since coming into the league, should be benched for Barkley (Just a few of the things that were said in the gameday thread), etc, etc. etc., gets a little ridiculous at times. How is it we can all agree that it is a team that has so much room for growth, yet, some of us have little to no tolerance for growing pains.

I love where this team is headed, from the front office, to the coaching, to our QB, etc. There is so much room for growth from all those perspectives, yet, there they are: a 4-1 team going into the bye - a good team - a playoff caliber team - one that I believe they will only continue to get better. Enjoying my coffee this morning with a big smile on my face. Good post and Happy Birthday @Chandler#81 from another old man!

Nonsensical. Josh is trying to evade a rusher. He can only choose to move in whatever way he can to avoid the sack. It is up to his receivers to adjust to him, if they can. He avoided the sack and put the ball where Yeldon could make the catch if he continues to run across the field. Believe what you want, not what you can actually see. He makes his share of mistakes, you don't need to create ones that he didn't make.

Honestly, I couldn't figure out what was going on. Knox and Cole end up in the same spot and Yeldon coming to a complete stop, not once, but twice on his route. WTH?

I have no idea - it was really strange.

It was not a bad decision and, if Yeldon actually keeps running on the route, it was probably a completion.

He was throwing to Yeldon, see above video.

If we are talking about the interception today, Cole was open; however, the throw was to Yeldon - and the INT was completely on Yeldon. If you watch the video, Yeldon, lined up outside at the top of the screen, stops twice on his route. The second stop is while the ball is in the air to him. If he continues, it is a good throw and probably a catch. It certainly was not "hero ball," as so many posters want to scream every time something bad happens This interception was not on Allen. I give him an A for his performance today.

I'm not sure an 8-6 NFL record is considered great; however, carry on with your crusade....

Just when I start to believe some of the posts on this forum couldn't get any more superficial in their analyses of Allen, you show up and prove me wrong. Well done, you...

Don't bother. jrober38 only comes out when Allen loses or plays poorly...

Absolutely. Completed over 70% of his passes, moved the ball against a very good D on the road, answered the interception with a touchdown drive, and, oh yeah, led his team to its 4th victory in 5 games. Yet, it doesn't seem to matter to a segment of Bills fans. Every play he makes is analyzed to death - and If he makes one mistake, it overshadows everything good he does.

He will be our francise QB EDIT: For a long time

Other than, maybe, a fine...you know, what this thread is actually about?

Probably not in the 5th game of his rookie season...

Your assessment of posts by the vast majority of Bills fans on this topic is as flawed as your assessment of the actual play on the field. Not surprising.

I would rather the league be consistent in its message and desire to protect all players. Why is this so difficult for you to understand. You are in a thread about the league's position on protecting players and the role of fines or suspensions - yet you seem so oblivious to to the actual topic matter in a thread you are choosing to participate in. SMDH....

And the officials do not hand out fines - which happens to be the TOPIC in the thread you are responding to. Are you being deliberately obtuse or is it your natural state of cognition?

The league didn't do that, the officials during the game did that. If you can't understand the distinction in the discussion, then, perhaps, you should explore your own cognitive dissonance. Of course, it would all be a moot point if we had a QB who played like your idol:
