So you aren’t emotionally invested in the Bills whatsoever? Despite spending thousands of hours on here and BBMB...

Yeah, I’m pretty cheesed about the entire situation. (Pardon the pun, it’s the only good thing I got from my trip to Green Bay)

It's the narrative that a lot of fans are taking, that the poor play by Allen is entirely due to the bad line and bad WRs. But watching the all-22 you can see that Allen is just as much of a contributor to the poor showing as everybody else.

Titans 27 Bills 0

If you switched the uniforms you’d swear this game film was from any year Allen played at Wyoming, it’s the same scenario; bad line, bad WRs and a bad QB. I need to stop watching and reading analysis of Allen, it’s too depressing to think about, especially when you consider McD and Beane’s future are most likely tied to this kid.

I picked this team to go 2-14, as it was pretty apparent that the stripped down roster has very little talent, so I’m not shocked at the poor showing on the field. My main thought is that “the process” looks flawed and poorly planned. Why draft a raw QB and put him in a situation like this? A system that doesn’t help him, a team that doesn’t help him, and put him in there... And the focus on the defensive side of the ball is also perplexing. This is a scoring league, yet this team seems to think building a good D is more important than building a solid O. Look at the signings, money was spent on the D at the expense of helping the franchise QB. And it also doesn’t help that the signings were awful...Star doesn’t even play half the game, Murphy gets little pressure and Davis quit.

We all know the issues Allen has to work through, but criticizing his inaccurate throws and inability to read a defence are fair game. What happened to the progress we were sold after his time with Palmer? Allen was missing throws by 5-10 feet early on. And being under pressure is tough, no doubt, but making the decision to throw it up on the run, across the field is laughable, it shouldn’t happen at this level. We all hope things change, but 1/4 of the season is over and Allen looks like some of the draft grades advertised, a 3rd round project. It’s not really the kids fault. Beane reached on a project and had no plan to help the young man progress.

Had a great time at Lambeau, very nice stadium, fans were welcoming. As for the game, it was an embarrassment. Allen was brutal, which is where the focus is. But I also think Edmunds struggled mightily too....again.

I was on that flight, tons of Bills fans.

Pregame meet up sounds great, see you all there. Go Bills!

It moves too quickly.

I’m too lazy to search through 100 pages of this thread, but why are Trumpers against an FBI investigation? Seems like the best way to get to the bottom of this.

Flying in from Buffalo Saturday and leaving Monday. Booked through a tour group that my Packers’ fan buddy has used before.

That was somewhat unexpected....more please

I just would have looked at him and said, “Bruce Smith, eh?”, shook my head and went back to watching the game.

Damn Mayfield is promising.

I am on the fence as to whether this particular situation (bad O line, bad receivers) will have a negative impact on Allen’s ability to improve his mechanics, I would assume it’s easy to fall back into bad habits when you’re running for your life. I hope things do slow down for him and he grows this year. I agree. I think it takes time to learn this scheme, so that should improve. Either way, it gives us something to dissect every week in a rebuilding year.

I agree that the game should slow down with more snaps under his belt, so he’ll be able to get through his progressions quicker. But what did you think about his accuracy? I am not really a believer that accuracy is a correctable trait.

I waited until I could watch this video to give my opinion because being at the game it was hard to see where every ball was located, and the video reinforces what I felt in person, that Allen was bad. Allen is missing RBs on wheel routes or in the flat by three feet, and underthrowing deep balls despite the big arm. I fully understand the context of being in his first start, and I'll give him credit for being poised, but this is exactly what Allen was in Wyoming...inaccurate, with no touch. I hope he improves and look forward to seeing if he can fix his accuracy, but as we have seen in the past, fixing inaccuracy is a tall order.

If you can guarantee wins, I'd really appreciate a 'W' in Green Bay...thanks.

Thanks Hammer and everyone else who was out for the tailgate, it was great to meet more of you guys.

This was what I saw too. The Chargers exposed Edmunds' inability to cover smaller/quicker backs and laid a blue print for every other team we are going to face. Coach Sal was also discussing this and seems to think it is a sign of his inexperience rather than it being because he is too big, but I have my doubts....Edmunds looked so bad I was embarrassed for him, he should not be starting in this league at the moment.

Says a lot about the state of the O when the release of Kerley is met with such scorn. But yeah, no idea why this move was made.

I don’t care if he struggles, the concern is he never develops good habits because he is too busy running for his life and getting crushed. This is incompetent management of a coveted asset.

I know. My point is that both Beane and McD thought enough of Peterman to not protect Allen with another QB, it’s very concerning the both of them had faith in Nate....twice. Our top ten QB is now set up to fail. Another issue, if Beane wasn’t going to protect Allen with a solid team or QB ahead of him to take the beating, why not draft a QB who was ready day 1 (Rosen)?
