If we contain Rodgers & shut down the long ball & don’t turn the ball over we will still be giant underdogs. Rodgers won’t turn the ball over as much as Cousins did pressure or no pressure. I’m more concerned about our offense moving the ball. We will need run the ball & so far this season we haven’t been able to do that. There’s only so much relying we can do on Allen bailing us out with his legs.

Kaepernick & Allen would be a good mix. Cut Peterman.

Pizza, wings & beer.

Come to Buffalo & smash a table

That sucks for them. Season over.

24-0!

Troy Aikman had quite possibly the worst team in the NFL around him & yet they believed enough in him to get experience. It’s kinda like Allen. We can play the what if and say we can fast forward through his development by benching him like Phillip Rivers or Aaron Rodgers their first 2-3 seasons, or we can insert him into the starting lineup and let him learn on the go. There is no proven formula on how to groom a QB. I understand your concern that Allen isn’t ready, and doesn’t have the college accomplishments of an Aikman. But the counterargument can be made that Ben Roethelisberger also was unproven coming out of MAC school Miami of Ohio. The Big Ben comparison is a better template albeit he had a Super Bowl caliber cast around him. Allen likely plays for the least talented team in the league. Certainly we all want as Bills fans to see Allen develop into a capable to great starting QB. I just don’t think that any of us know what the best approach is. If Allen struggles or is injured guys like you will say “I told you so.” To me that is unfair because he’s in an Aikman-like situation. No matter what he does this year or improved there will be no playoffs which is the metric of success many people put on QBs around here. It’s almost as if 50% of the board will be down on Allen if he has a season like Aikman did in 1989. I’d venture to say it’s better for us in the long-term for Allen to get game experience, learn and develop.

Troy Aikman had no one pitching in front of him in 1989. If the kid is tough he will stick around and weather the adversity and learn. It’s sink or swim for Josh Allen.

Baker Mayfield is now in the game. Sometimes it has nothing to do with race but taking a calculated risk to win.

Simple numbers: 1,500,000 high school players, 30,000 college players, 1,700 NFL players. There’s no college team that could stay with the Bills or any other NFL team. Too big & physical.

The process > The QB. The process > The fans. The process = McD & Beane.

I’d have no problem if they could run block. Oh wait is it McCoy & Murphy’s fault. Moving the goalposts of evaluating criteria skews objectivity. Also lost in all this how does PFF rank McD’s two challenges that were easily wrong, and his decision to take over playcalling & no going for it on 4th down?

Preston Brown was asked a question about one of the most unusual events in NFL history. Being he spent 4 years in Buffalo and obviously has ties it’s no wonder why he said what he said. Could it be Brown felt undervalued & is therefore jaded? Possibly. Could it also be Brown has friends in the locker room he’s communicated with? Probably.

Kid reminds me of a young Phillip Rivers. Happy he got to go up against him his first game as a starter.

Brady is old. At least we got a 22 year old who is 19 years younger. In 2-3 years we will be doing fine. RELAX! The end is nigh.

We’ve lost by 44 & 11, good for a 27.5 average, minus 11, and there’s your spread. Clearly a lot of folks will want to be banking on Vikings cover 16.5. I bet the spread approaches 18 to 20 by kickoff pending on how many veterans retire. ? I still think we are gonna get some injury news on McCoy which will only exacerbate the point spread. Hey maybe even the “heart & soul” Kyle Williams also quits on the team, or Leslie Frazier quits amid a story of racism. What bad news will happen next? The story of the 2018 season. At least Josh Allen looked serviceable.

I went with McD coz he actually took us to the playoffs. Marrone sucked. But McD is approaching such territory with his vapid ‘process’ cliches & platitudes.

Imagine if Allen had his 30 year old brain with all the experiences of 8 seasons transplanted in his 22 year old body.

Davis probably injured his pride.

The greatest Canadian football player since Doug Flutie, Peter North.

C Biscuit, but Vincent & Fletcher were just as good.

Someone tell me how Kaepernick wouldn’t be a great veteran to sign who like Allen was inaccurate sub .60 completions and had a strong enough arm to be drafted by the MLB due to him being able to throw 97 mph fastballs in high school. Both are atheltic and mobile with great ability to throw on the run. To me it’s time to cut Peterman and sign a competent veteran. At the very least take a shot at Derek Anderson.

McD equates everything he likes in a QB to what they can do to a defense. McV equates everything he likes in a QB to what it they can do for his offense.

McD has made the right move regardless of how bad Allen plays it can’t get much worse than Peterman. If they can run a simplified offense that features 60% run to 40% pass mix this could work. Where they will fail is when the OL gets stupid penalties. It’s time to let Allen play & see where he’s at.
