  1. I’m saying let’s see how durable he is.
  2. I remember someone saying this about RG3 until his leg was snapped in half. I’d like to see Mahome’s endure a few injuries & see how good he’d look on a gimpy leg like Aaron Rodgers. My thinking is he’d look pedestrian.
  3. Is it me or does this team need to run the ball 60% of the time? I’m talking smash the ball forward for 1-4 yards a time for the games first 3 Qtrs mixing in some play action. Perhaps only until a team is tired can we begin to switch over to the pass & relying on our opponents fatigue which would lead to separation.
  4. Tuel by a mile. For whatever reason Peterman thinks his arm is a canon. At least Tuel knew his limitations.
  5. We couldn’t even score 2 points yesterday so your point is don’t score as much as you can mmmkay.
  6. David Carr wasn’t “ruined” by the franchise. EJ Manuel wasn’t “ruined” by the Bills. Franchise level QBs rise above organizational failures. See Philip Rivers, & Matt Ryan. The Chargers are so bad they switched cities & the Falcons have largely ridden Ryan’s skills to sneak into the playoffs and make one super bowl run. Good franchises with good coaches don’t blow 28-3 leads late in the 3rd Qtr.
  7. There either is; no one open, the line can’t block, the quarterback can’t read defenses, the playcalling is predicatable and easier to defend. I speculate it’s a combination of All of the Above.
  8. Still have to wonder if this was stressed to him when they radioed in the play to him.
  9. When you can’t run the ball or throw the ball to open the run you lose. To me the biggest momentum swing was Allen’s pick which he will learn from. Take a sack or audible to a run and let the clock run out and call a TO to go into halftime down 3-13 instead of 0-16. That’s a 6 point swing that better QB understanding or coaching resolves and makes it a tighter game.
  10. Keep Josh Allen in and let him get some experience running no huddle 2 minute offense.
  11. This is a bad team w/ subpar WRs and a horrible OL
  12. Looking at Brady’s stats and drive charts they’ve been downright pedestrian on offense. One has to wonder how much it is on the talent around him or a decline in his own skills. I believe he’s averaging only 205 yards passing per game, which is weird because his running game has been far from productive. That means he’s playing from behind more and throwing more but getting little production. Now this could all change with the return of Edelman & addition of Josh Gordon to help open up Gronkowski. Time will reveal if this is Brady starting to deteriorate or simply an early season problem that resolves itself with the addition of more skill players.
  13. If they are dropping passes that’s better than passes airmailed to the defense. Bottom line get some stickum or new receivers willing to catch the ball & don’t short arm bracing for contact. Be brave WRs!
  14. 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.
  15. Kaepernick & Allen would be a good mix. Cut Peterman.
  16. Pizza, wings & beer.
  17. Come to Buffalo & smash a table
  18. That sucks for them. Season over.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. Baker Mayfield is now in the game. Sometimes it has nothing to do with race but taking a calculated risk to win.
  22. 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.
  23. The process > The QB. The process > The fans. The process = McD & Beane.
  24. 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?
