Happens to a lot of young head coaches. I can understand his frustration, but from what's been said here in the gameday thread, there were some penalties "given" to the Pats. Officials are getting far too much protection from justified criticism. I get that blown calls are gonna happen, but it just seems that more happen against the Bills at home for whatever reason. And that I imagine is even more frustrating when the offense isn't playing to their abilities

What was there to watch that didn't show Allen making bad decisions? Also, show me where I said Barkley should start over Allen. Don't be like Boca Bills and put words in my mouth, FOR REAL DUDE!!!!

It may not matter if people think it won't benefit him or not. If this hero ball crap keeps on happening, he will ride the pine. 4 picks from doing that

I really shouldn't put the Titans down that much, but living in Tennessee, I've seen quite a bit of them. That debacle in Jacksonville stands out more than anything. Mariota is as prone to mistakes as Allen is. If we can exploit that just a little bit and have this defense ball out like they did against the Pats, the Bills could absolutely embarrass the Titans on their own field. Barkley protects the ball better than Allen, but at this point who doesn't? Something's gotta give with his decision making

I'm really not getting this. Ok the only thing we have to go on Barkley is the Jets game, he played good. Everything before that I could care less about. He's been successful in this offense. This defense took Brady to the woodshed and now I'm supposed to worry about Marcus Mariota? We've shut down guys like Le'Veon Bell and Saquon Barkley, and there's no reason why we can't shut down Henry. Titans' defense is decent, but nowhere near the level of the Pats. We can move the ball against them, even with Barkley.

At this point, smarts may be exactly what's needed with a defense like ours. If Allen had been smarter, we'd have won today

Whoever is starting, for the love of god, get Knox more involved. If Williams gets called up and practices this week, Barkley may play better than a lot of people think

I won't go as far as to say he will right now. I wanted to blame the coaches for lack of preparation, but after watching the highlights, Allen isn't playing smart at all. So many times he could have had decent gains instead of throwing deep. He needs to do what the coaches want him to do, take what he's given.

Well it worked for Jason Peters, why not try Smith out on the OL ?

Yeah that's him

Oh yea, I barely remember his inept self too. Didn't that team have like an extremely bad HC back then?

A lot of today's Pats fans wouldn't know who you were talking about

With this defense that took Brady to the woodshed, that's pretty much all we have to do is protect the football. I believe Barkley is capable of putting up points

Props for the classy and non-ribbing post.

Again, you post this after I specifically tell you "YOU'RE GONNA SEE THOSE THINGS FROM A YOUNG QB". They're called growing pains for a reason. No reason Allen can't learn from his mistakes, that's all up to him. I'm not gonna ignorantly say because of those stats, he's a bust. My god, get on the booze and ridlin while you can, because when the Pats lose Brady, believe me, you're gonna be cellar dwellers every bit as long as we've been. Wentz and Goff got time, why can't Allen?

Oh stop with the tough talk, you don't even know what I"m talking about

Oh I'm pretty sure that and Allen's picks weren't the only reasons

Oh he won't bring his name up again, but not for the reasons you're thinking of

The stats agree with you considering the overall yardage gained by both teams. Only the final score has any say in it

I guess you meant Peyton. I don't want Allen to be like anyone, I'd rather he make a name for himself. Bills fans can be impatient when it comes to developing QBs. But those fans and you talk like Allen hasn't done anything at all but throw picks and incompletions. You're gonna see those things from a young QB, not every QB drafted is Tom Brady. That'll never happen again although Mahomes is making a strong case. I know you'd rather we toss Allen aside like we did with the QBs you mentioned. We do that, we deserve mediocrity. Say what you want, this coaching staff isn't that stupid. But on the flip side, pick any of those QBs you mentioned and tell me who you'd rather have than Allen. Hell I direct that question to Bills fans too

Wow, all this Barkley hate. The guy hasn't played in a regular season game in almost a year, and gets shredded because he didn't win the game for us.

I find it amusing a former NFL QB that couldn't cut it in the league feels he has a place to laugh at a player's injury. There's a reason you're not in the league anymore Scott and why you weren't in the league that long to begin with. I actually had to strain my memory to remember who he was

Facts?!?! Guesses that you got lucky with aren't facts. The majority of your fan base saw this game as a blowout for the Pats (don't even try telling me otherwise), and I wouldn't be surprised if you thought the same thing. But even if you did, it's a FACT, that you won't admit it. Those Bills fans that are labeling Allen a bust already were probably the same fans that would label him a franchise QB had we won today, please don't be stupid enough to lump me in with them. Nothing about that is fact, and you need to learn the difference between fact and fiction. Many successful QBs had rough starts to their careers that went on to win super bowls. As I've said, I don't know how Allen is gonna turn out but to just toss him away and start all over is just contiuous mediocrity at best. The problems on offense aren't just with Allen, and even some Bills fans are blind to that, apparently you are too

That's been my take on it all day. Would have liked a win, but after hearing we were gonna get blown out by a douchebag pats fan who has yet to show up (go figure), and we almost win even with Allen stinking up the building, I actually feel ok

No make no mistake about it, it's arrogance. The Patriots have made that name for themselves over the years, and people like you have proven it's rubbed off on it's fanbase. Why else would you and the other 2 come in here talking like you're "knowledgeable" when everyone sees right through it? Neither you or them fool anyone here. And I'm far from saying Allen's gonna be the next Montana, our offense is defnitely the weak part of the team, but NEWS FLASH, it doesn't take a "knowledgeable" Patriots fan to see that. You think were that blind? You think the rest of the media doesn't see that? If there's any insecurity anywhere from any team's fans, it's the Patriots. You're on borrowed time now as it is, and if any part of Brady's subpar play today was because of his age starting to show? Then yeah, you have plenty of reason to be insecure
