Around 98% of the posters on this board wanted Josh Rosen over Allen. Some even wanted Buffalo to give up the farm to the NY Giants to draft Rosen at the #2 spot. Some stated that they felt like they were "gut punched" when Buffalo drafted Allen. One noted supposed board draft guru had a 3rd round grade on Josh Allen and most stated he will never be good because of his accuracy issues. This was the consensus from most of the draft pundits, save Mr Hair, Mel. https://www.buffalorumblings.com/2018/4/22/17267900/josh-allen-2018-nfl-draft-scouting-report-film-analysis-statistics-background-strengths-weaknesses "Allen will play well in an offense that emphasizes play action, moving pockets, and deep passing. He’ll struggle if he starts right away, unless coaches simplify his reads and emphasize his option to check down. He should head to a team with an established veteran so he can learn the ropes, otherwise his potential may never manifest on Sundays."

Oh, because one team has another teams number... then everything unravels...no! Ravens schedule, Washington, Cincy, Philly, Pittsburgh, Indy, NE, Tenn, Pitt, Dallas, Cleveland, Jacksonville, NY Giants, Cincy. This is a playoff team that will be there at the end of the season. The Chiefs almost lost to the Chargers in OT 23-20, their next opponents, NE, Raiders, Bills. Then Denver, Jets, Panthers, Raiders, Bucs, Denver, Miami, Saints, Atlanta, Chargers. Who knows what the season holds for each team. We shall see!

How's this for a reversal from the past years under McD, current Buffalo Bills offense #3 in points, #4 in yards... Buffalo defense #16 in points allowed, #21in yards allowed...#27 in passing yards allowed, WTH? The Bills line mostly giving Josh time to read a book while looking over the field. Not a point of concern atm. Although, notice how he reads the field quickly at times and makes a very quick decision to throw frozen ropes. Shades of AR!

We already know as he did play college ball at Wyoming! Kinda known for nasty cold weather. Ex NY Giants QB Phill Simms stated that there are about 9 NFL QB's who can play in Buffalo in that swirling wind and it gets far worse when the cold gets here. A tight spiral can cut right through a strong wind. But yea, the snow and cold weather is strong reason to have a good power run game too. All this talk of MVP is far, far too early as there are 13 regular season games to play. We'll see how it looks at week 10 or so.

While I do believe that Beane loves it in Buffalo and has very close ties to McD. Still, you need to consider what a huge promotion to team president it would be for a GM along with all that power goes with it. A huge payday along with final say over the entire side of football operations is what these men dream about. I dunno, perhaps it's just me. I just worry about losing the best thing this franchise has had since the mid eighties to early nineties. The Bills started their long slide into oblivion right after Polian left Buffalo in 1992. He then went on to help build two different franchise's into super bowl teams. Meanwhile the Bills were a skid mark for the longest time.

This! It wasn't the offensive play calling that bailed the Bills out of that second half debacle. It was all Allen in finding the right receiver and getting him the ball, 3rd down and 22 are you kidding me!! 3rd and 25... The play calling should have involved more run plays and that supposed interception most likely wouldn't have even happened. Owners are going to be looking around at GMs to rebuild their fallen franchise. (Like the Jets) Look at what Beane has done in his drafts and pickups, trades. Look at his pick of Josh Allen as he managed to get the best of that draft and got the star starting MLB too. I'd be devastated to lose Beane at this point. This franchise hasn't been even close to this talented since Bill Polian! Beane is looking like a younger, better version. Daboll can be replaced far easier than Brandon Bean.

I think you guys are misconstruing between what Brandon Beane has done and Brian Daboll has done. Beane built that offense for Josh Allen, drafted RB *Devin Singletary, traded for Diggs, signed Brown, Beasley. Built that offensive line so Josh has time to throw it all over to all that talent. Honestly, I'm more worried about Beane getting stolen away by a team offering him to be president/GM. The New York Jets are a mess all over the roster and Daboll would be a fool to that that job when so many others will be better with better rosters. Like Atlanta with Matt Ryan to think of one. JMO

Lets go back to the 2019 Dallas Cowboys game shall we? Daboll was looking to be a head coach last year as Carolina was interested in him. Then the Ravens game happened and Allen was eaten alive by their constant blitzing...all the while Daboll kept calling for pass plays. The only team that interviewed him were the Cleveland Browns. Daboll has "always" called more passing plays like he has a veteran QB behind center with a top offensive player core. Well, now this season Allen is looking like an all pro QB with Beasley, Brown, Diggs and even rookie Gabe Davis he has a top receiving core. You can even throw RB Singletary into that mix. In my view Daboll should still be running the ball more and particularly in the second half of that Rams game as that interception sparked the Rams 29 point comeback. Motor only has 10 more carries then Josh Allen at this point. Daboll has the Patriots playbook and yet he doesn't utilize the run game like the Patriots have done. Look at what they did against the Raiders this past week. The Bills need to build their power run game enough to take over a game when needed IMO. Yes, Josh Allen has looked brilliant the first three weeks of the 2020 season and yes Brian Daboll has called some great games, so far. #4 total offense! @Raiders, @Titans, Chiefs, Patriots, Seahawks, @ Cardinals, Chargers, @ 49ers, Steelers, @ Patriots yet to play. Anyway, like others have mentions I think its a bit early to be thinking end of season just yet as so many things could happen. For my take, I'm gonna sit back and enjoy the next 13+ games and then think about what might transpire after the season. P.S. Ole googly eyes is probably gonna be fired before the Bills play them again in week 7. Gregg Williams will also probably take over...unless they really want to tank for Trevor Lawrence. Jets fans gotta be crying big time that they could have drafted Allen and chose Darnold. Come to think of it, 5 other teams are probably crying too. Texans are 0-3. Jags are 1-2. Denver is 0-3. Dallas 1-2, Eagles 0-2-1. Detroit 1-2, Minnesota 0-3. Atlanta 0-3. Gonna be lots of HCing jobs after this season.

That final Buffalo Bills drive 3:21 to go on the Bills 31 yard line, 3rd down and 22 to go for a first. (Buffalo was 4 of 8 for 3rd down conversions) I honestly thought the game was over at this point. BOOM, Allen scrambles a bit and hits Beasley over the middle at the Bills 49 and Cole manages to make a first down with 7 Rams defenders closing on Cole at the Bills 53. Freaking awesome! Honorable Mention, 3rd down and 25 to go with 31 seconds to go in the game on the Rams 30, Josh hits Diggs at the Bills 15 yard line with two defenders on him. So, It's now 4th down and 9 to go. Who makes that throw into that tight a window? Next play Allen throws to Gabe Davis for a PI and it's first and goal, then hits Kroft for a TD. I have no idea how Josh Allen can scramble like he does with Balls as big as boulders...no fear too! Three Rams defenders try to take him down as he grabs the face mask and pulls one Rams defender down to keep from getting sacked... he takes a personnel foul for it. The announcer states "that is a strong man" and the other says, "Allen plays QB like a defensive player"... way to make Jim Kelly and Bills Mafia proud! What a win!

With 25 seconds to go in the game that huge call on 4th down against the Rams kinda made up for the refs bonehead interception call...almost.

Game balls, Allen Daboll Beasley Motor Gabe Davis Poyer HM Kroft 2 Tds, really?

WTH happened to that #3 defense from last season ?

Heart in my throat about to burst... this is the 7th 4th quarter win for Allen

Good feeling left as quick as it came.

Okay, good feeling starting to return

all the momentum now on Rams side Bills need a strong scoring drive.

Rams owning Bills...

OMG how can he be that wide open, this defense is far from the #3 defense of last year.

Someone mentioned 3rd quarter doldrums. Let's hope we pick it up in the 4th quarter and find a dagger.

Run it down their throat and kill some clock

Here is hoping all that good feeling about this game doesn't go down the ceramic convenience when its all said and done.

W T F, getting nervous..

Gotta stop the run now.

BS call

Starting to get nervous now...
