A darn shame that Sam Darnold got injured this season and missed some games...as he was on a pace to break Peyton Manning's rookie interception record. Also, sadly it looks like Jets HC Todd Bowles might not survive the season. Again a darn shame that Darnold will need to endure a regime change that might stunt his development. It is also rumored that some unknown NFL team has contacted Jim Harbough's agent to see if he will stay at Michigan. Alas, Dolphins owner Stephen Ross has let it be known that should Ole Jim become available he will spare no expense to bring him to Miami. Nevertheless, the Jets do have something over the Buffalo Bills... as that at 3-9 they will get a better spot in the 2019 NFL draft.

Plus, Cam Newton had an actual NFL team around him his rookie season and that 2011 team only went 6-10. All Josh Allen has is adversity. Newton had WR Steve Smith, 79 catches for 1394 yards, TE Greg Olsen, TE Jeremy Shockey, RB DeAngelo Williams. Not to mention a solid offensive line. Allen had a supposed #1 lazy WR that was just cut...

What we all watched with Josh Allen this past week at Miami is almost exactly what you would have seen if you watched him in college at Wyoming in 2017. Just like in Buffalo Allen had a bad line, rookie receivers and not much of a run game. And yet because of his burning desire to win that Wyoming team went 8-5 and won their bowl game too. Josh Allen didn't have a 1000 yard receiver like Josh Rosen throwing those short dump off passes. Nor did he have top talent all around him like some of the other QBs in last years draft. Allen was a project QB and wasn't ready to start out of the gate like some of the others. From what I see Allen went into one of the very worst situations a rookie QB could start in as he was supposed to sit, learn for a year like Patrick Mahomes did in KC. The kid didn't even have a veteran QB on the roster from the start of the season. His experienced QB mentor was Nathaniel Peterman with all his experience in starting 2 games in 2017. And his QB coach had never been a QB coach previously before Buffalo as he was a WR assistant coach. His OC didn't have a history of calling plays for winning NFL offenses and in fact was 23rd or worse in all his five years as an NFL OC. Not to mention that he has never developed a rookie QB in the NFL. Allen's record is currently 3-4 and I can only imagine what this kid could have done this season if he didn't need to overcome so much adversity.

Exhausted is more like it in that heat. It was amazing watching that kid run around like Fran Tarkington (while Allen is at 6'5'' 240lbs) all game long. The total amount of yards he ended up running through the coarse of the game was crazy too. Hopefully at some point Beane finds receivers that comeback to Allen when he starts running around like he does and they actually catch the ball.

Nope, it was unbelievable watching the lack of effort and not caring attitude. That said, I don't fault Beane for bringing KB to Buffalo as he looked like just the player the team needed as that big, tall red zone target this franchise has wanted for a decade. Damn shame he wasn't even anywhere as good as a player like Mohammed Sanu. Like Coach said it brings in to question Beane's ability to evaluate offensive talent. This team will need top receivers, top O linemen and tight ends. Looks like he made another mistake with Nick O' Leary over Logan Thomas.

Beane has made some crappy decisions on wideouts this year... But hey, at least he attempted to bring in a talented big, tall red zone target unlike other past regimes that would just lament that they didn't have that guy. Who would have thought that so much player talent would just be wasted by laziness ... in a contract season no less.

It really was comical watching a bigger, taller QB run away from a supposed speedy linebacker...all game long.

When Beane traded for KB I was so very happy that the Bills finally had that big, tall red zone target AND he had a history of success at Carolina. This guy was playing like he just signed a 100 million dollar contact and turned into a complete bum in Buffalo while in a contract year...dunno why. Now I'm glad that overpaid underachiever is finally gone and was wondering why it took so long.

At this point I just want to see Allen survive the season... with no more running as these games are no longer important. Just work on his pocket presence and if the team gets behind in points don't leave Allen out there to dry by going pass happy all game. Protecting this franchise QB is the most important thing this team should focus on at this time. While Buffalo is still alive at 4-8, the realistic view is they have the Jets, Lions home, @ NE and home against Miami. Doubtful 8-8 gets a playoff spot. More then likely the Bills finish 7-9. JMO

Love the kid... and his burning desire to win. Basically a one man team with one good lineman, one decent receiver. What an exciting game. My favorite part of that Dolphins game was watching Allen (6'5'' 240lbs) literally run away from Kiko time and time again.

No question as the kid is amazing with a burning desire to win. A one man team with one good receiver and one good linemen. Now imagine what he will do with a solid offensive line and receiver corps.

The announcer stated it looked like he slipped going for the catch...should have been caught!

Exciting, isn't it !

what an arm

Nice stop!

They are giving those smelly fish the win

I did, he is bigger in weight, taller in height then Patrick Mahomes...and also faster in the 40

My fav is when Allen runs away from Kiko

A one man offense...

You have no idea... The Bills didn't win a game against the Dolphins for the entire decade of the 1970s. I still hate them and always will.

Refs trying to give the game to Miami

JA...how ya like me now!!

Holding, Mills...

Good lord, thank you. Bills fans seem to be myopic of sorts in that the team has been so devoid of scoring so that when the team finally does make some plays and score they seem oblivious to all else. The Bills play calling worked for three out of ten series and managed to beat two teams on downward spirals that have worse records at 3-8. So Bills fans seem deliriously happy with the OC and blame the lack of talent for past losses. Good to great coaches make the best out of the talent on hand and do not force their players into attempting to make their scheme work, regardless of the situation. Especially when you have such inexperienced young QBs who don't know what they are doing. I can't even imagine what the last two games would have been like had the Bills not taken the lead or had the Jets, Jags a semi competent QB behind center. The Bills play some bad teams ahead 5-6 Miami, home against 3-8 Jets again, Home against the 4-7 Detroit Lions. The 8-3 New England Patriots are the only team the Bills play down the stretch with a winning record and its @ NE. The last game is at home against the Dolphins. Four out of five of those games have somewhat competent QBs so those wins won't be as easy as the Jets, Jags. Kinda funny Bortles was benched and Hackett was fired after that loss to Buffalo. The end result could be as good as 8-8 or even 9-7 should the Bills manage to get McCoy over 20 touches per game, 100 plus yards in each of those games. This will help take the load off the rookie QB. The Bills defense is good enough that with help from the Buffalo run game they could win the rest of their games.

What my problem with Bills OC Daboll is, and the Bills QB coach is that both are very inexperienced in coaching rookie/inexperienced QBs. A QB coach who was never previously a QB coach but a WR assistant coach. How exactly that helps those two very inexperienced QBs at the start of the season with no veteran QB on the roster is a wonder to me. Daboll has been calling offensive plays from day one like he has experienced veteran QBs behind center! What they weren't, were two QBs who knew how to read a defense and set protections. They weren't able to find the open receiver quickly and get the ball to them before the pass rush can get to them. This is why Barkley looked so good and Peterman, Allen not so much. Those first two games the Bills defense started slowly and allowed the team to get behind in points. What happened then... like so many other games the team got behind in... was a very pass happy offense that nearly got those inexperienced QBs killed. Lets not forget that this team is still 4-7 and not the other way around. 7 losses and 5 of them blowouts. The run game has been dominate at times usually when the team has the lead, Vikings game 38 rushes for 128 yards, 2 TDs. Titans 43 rushes for 144 yards, 1 TD. Jets game 46 rushes for 212 yards, 2 TDs. Those numbers rushing the ball look pretty darn good to me and two those three defenses aren't that bad, Vikes #3, Tenn #10. So it goes to prove a point that the talent on the line isn't historically bad. With Barkley at QB Jones had 93 yards, Foster had 105 so the receivers aren't historically bad either. When you have a play caller calling complex run plays with not so great players on the line it doesn't always go so well. Except for the times when the team had the lead the OC called far more pass plays then run plays to boot. When you have a play caller calling mid to deep pass patterns with some very inexperienced QBs...especially when the team gets behind in points so those young QBs are forced to carry the entire offense it doesn't always go so well. This last game against the Jags it was rookie QB Josh Allen with 99 yards rushing, 1 rushing TD who made some big plays. That deep bomb to Foster for a TD was also a big play by Allen as he was swarmed by three Jags defenders milliseconds after releasing that ball. While I do give credit to Daboll for calling that second series which resulted in five plays for a untouched TD run by McKenzie, which was brilliant. The Bills still had seven series which resulted in punts. I want to see a whole lot more of those second series type plays AND see the team not forget the run game and go pass happy when they get behind in points before I start heaping praise on the Bills offensive coaches.
