If Allen doesn't get hurt they are 3-3. Special teams cost the Bill's the game. The Nathan Peterman experiance should be over. I get it he is a nice guy but hes a terrible Qb.

Nate Peterman should not be on the roster. Whenever Allen is physically able to play he should. He doesn't get hurt they win the game. He found his rythem made his best 2 plays back to back. The one to Benjamin was called back and the other was a perfect pass.

Right but what was Anderson doing the previous 3 months? Why wait. After Cleveland it look obvious that Allen would give Buffalo the best chance to win. Double down on Allen then. Bring in Anderson give Allen the reps and precious time with the first team.

This is where I give Bill Belichick alot of credit. He has been able to run the same offense with multiple Co Ordinators in his NE tenure. He had as much a hand in the growth of Brady as anyone. Seems most of the time HC with defensive backgrounds want an offense that supports his unit. Conservative, heavy run depended and their offense lack aggressivness and creativity.

I would like to Allen and the offense resemble the one that played the first half at Minnesota. That game is the only one this year where Daboll got Allen in rythem early. It carried through out the game. The front 4 for Houston is ferocious. Get them going sideline to sideline with screens and quick passes early. Open up the middle of the field. This is one of those games Buffalo will need to get some completions early to move back the safties to better run the ball.

The trading of McCoy is not as big of a deal as some are making it out to be. I expected this to be his final year in Buffalo. Now I would want one of their young backs in return. Smallwood or Clement and a 2nd or 3rd. It's a situation that came calling and one I would consider.

In an Offensive league if Allen doesn't show progress and Buffalo flounders down the stretch it would be a possibility. Likely? Probably not but who saw John Fox, Lovie Smith, or Jeff Fisher being blown out for similar performances and outcomes?

If the offense doesnt improve he could meet a similar fate.

I agree with you. Imo they need to script getting Allen in rythem. They did it once this year @ Minn. It's not a surprise it was his best game.

Get the ground game going and play defense. Allen doesnt need to throw it 40 times a game right now. Get him experiance. Anderson signing imo will help with the little things of the position. By years end I think Allen will silence most doubters.

Speed. Buffalo needs to draft speed. Outside, inside everywhere.

Look at Goff, look at Trubisky. Both played similar to what Allen has done and have both improved in year 2 with better weapons around them.

A third a player. Maybe Clements or Smallwood and a 3rd.

Play Allen. Not matter how ugly it looks keep pushing through. The weapons around him are non existent. Run the ball easy reads. Times will come up when Allen will need to let it rip.

Look at Chicago last year to this year. I'm surprised it took so long to get here. Fullback, multiple Te sets and pound the rock. Buffalo cant win outside consistantly. The cant get vertical consistently.

Replacing him with a street FA would be an incredible blunder. Buffalo needs Allen to mature. Only way that happens is by getting experiance. I would like to see an effort to get him in rythem. Easy reads easy throws on early downs. This year Buffalo is going to have to win ugly.

Why wasnt this move done 8 weeks ago? The foresight with this team is alarming. Heck once McCarron was traded he should have been signed worst case. Having a veteran with a big arm who played at a pro bowl level, even though for just 1 season is valuable for a green player. I feel they were so high on Peterman it detracted from the larger picture and the development of the offense and Allen.

But you have to have both. Bad strategy and good culture is meaningless. I'm glad they all like each other while they get blown out by halftime every week.

That Seattle game Woods crucified the last year of the legion of boom. He should have been extended. A team guy, great blocker, kind of like Aaron William's for the offense.

I'm not delusional enough to think 1 player makes the 2018 Buffalo Bills anything more than marginally better. Put Aaron Rodgers on the field they may go 6-10.

Scheme and players matter in the NFL. Elite QBs make everyone around them better yes. Those QBs didn't start off doing that. Look at Goffs first year vs his second. If you look at the first 8 games last year, Alex Smith was a top 5 Qb by any measure. When it got colder and the weather turned so did his play. Just like every position you draft for ability and potential. To think situations dont matter, players you put around them don't matter, and coaching doesnt matter than good luck. Maybe the football gods will fly down and hand us another franchise Qb. Or maybe they build an offense around the one they drafted? Create a scheme that limits his areas of weakness and highlights his strengths. Put effective pass catchers and Weapons on the field that strain a defense horizontally and vertically?

No I would not. Why cant you create a good culture and create good game plans for the players you have? At the end of the day you need guys. Sometimes they are on the edge.

As the head coach he personally controls 2 things. The culture and the strategy the team employs. To say they run contradictory is pretty crazy. To me this is one of the worst quotes I have ever heard a coach say. This year needs to turn, and the light needs to be gleaming at the end of the tunnel for him to survive the season.

He was. A Qb that looks like Couch in college will be drafted in the top 10 every time. Mahomes would look no different than Allen on this team in this offense.

They spend almost a 100 mil on offense in the off season. Allen, Burton, Gabriel, Olineman. They were also in the mix for Watkins.
