No matter how poor a loss, it's still just 1 loss. Very similar to the game in LA last season, or vs NO. The stretch is difficult, if Allen survives it he could steady himself and team for a late season run with the way the schedule is structured.

The Offense is desperate for speed. McCloud is going to get alot of playing time inside. Kerley, Benjamin and Jones cant separate. Perriman though a bust should be brought it for at least a threat of someone getting over the top.

Most teams can hold up when your offense can not get a first down. Very similar result to what happened vs NO last year. For me the defense was not a sive yesterday. 2 bad drives but the stats and score board isn't a complete reflection of their performance.

He is just not a NFL caliber Qb. Preseason vs vanilla defense and sub NFL talent is not the same as faces a team schematiclly designed to attack your weaknesses. Allen is, was and always should have been the guy when he replaced Aj McCarron at Cleveland. The offense should have had 3 weeks of molding to Allen's strengths and preparation for a tough first month.

He needs to take his lumps and get used to the NFL game. Peterman is not and should not be a starter or contributor to an NFL offense. Allen is going to have poor performances but also have great plays. A few tweaks and the defense will be pretty formidable. The offense is a concern for me. Get a power run game going. Pull with Miller and Groy. Allow the offensive line to move forward. Use a fullback and put Allen under center. Ugly it up offensively and get some chunks plays of PA.

The best thing out of the game is that Edmunds is going to be a stud. He was all over the feild and is already close to be being out best player. The Nate Peterman experience should officially be over. Game plan around Allen and get him ready.

You cannot just put him outside and hope for the best. He needs to be moved around and use him like a flex TE. Kelce, Gronk, down the seem over the middle.

The Ravens are a team I hate to play when they come in unharolded. They are being portrayed like some juggernaut that they are not. Their offense has 0 playmakers and their Qb hasnt been good in 3 years. If Peterman doesnt heavy up some arm punts like he is in LA, I expect Buffalo to easily cover and if not win the game out right. Qb Ravens by default Backfield Bills Wrs. Push Te Bills Oline Ravens Dline Push Lb Ravens Secondary Bills

This is wrong. He gutted an underachieving expensive roster void of any franchise players. Turned some nice players into assets that landed a possible franchise Qb and Middle linebaker in year 1. Year 2 with money and a foundation I'm curious to see how he chooses to build it. I expect draft heavy on the lines and Fa on the perimeter.

Landing a franchise Qb is the hard part. You get Miami with Suh, as well. That's the model though. Money is finite, however home grown all pro talent should be retained if they are healthy in their prime.

The Raiders need a complete roster rebuild. Carr is making 20mil. Very difficult to pay 2 20 mil contracts. Also, Davis is the most cash poor owner. Paying 80 mil out of pocket might not be option. Best case is to get a franchise Qb on a rookie deal. Than you have the urgency to win now with an expectation of a Superbowl run. Seattle, Philly, and Rams all used that model. Once you have a franchise Qb price tag rosters usually change and more resources are allocated to protecting that guy. Defenses are cheap and young. Imo Trubisky and the Bears are alot closer than some believe. That defensive front 7 can now rival any in the NFC. They have a great running game. Brought in loads of pass catchers. If Allen becomes something next offseason Buffalo will do something very similar. Outside of a pass rusher, Buffalo will add weapons and lineman.

With a good running threat in McCoy, multiple formations with Clay, croom, Dimarco, the offense should be much improved. I like the idea of fB 2 te 3 te sets with the ability to split or run heavy. LB on Croom Clay and Thomas is a miss match. I think Benjamin also will be moved around alot in the passing attack similar to Gronk in NE.

Yes it is. He looked the same vs the Jaguars as he did vs the Chargers. The Ravens have a very good defense and will be playing aggressive. A pick 6 and some bad half of football could lead to Allen entering the game.

I hope he plays well and Buffalo wins. I can not help but think Buffalo is about to do what Houston did last year with Savage. First half cant move the ball multiple sacks and picks and then Watson moves in at halftime.

Over under he makes it 6 quarters.

10-6. Trust the process.

He either plays the whole game or doesnt play.

Vs a tough defense, tough pass rush only one Qb on the roster has the ability to escape the pocket. That's Allen. Under similar circumstances I trust Peterman the least. Off platform, off rythem passes will be turnovers with Peterman. Baltimore, San Diego, Minnesota will have a feild day with a Peterman led offense. Pack the box stop McCoy, third and long jump the outside routes.

Let Allen take his lumps and learn from them. He showed poise under pressure. A few miscues but has some negative that can be corrected. Allen give Buffalo the best chance to win games. Peterman's arm has 0 chance vs Baltimore, San Diego, and Minnesota. I understand that is a gauntlet to throw a rookie into but what better way to learn. Some good defense, good running game and Allen only needs to make a few plays for Buffalo to be competitive.

Peterman is named starter. What happens when he throws more pick 6's then TDs? By halftime week 1 do you do what Houston did with Watson? Going to Peterman is delaying Allen what 2 or 3 weeks. Just give him the reps and let him improve and learn from his mistakes. He showed vs Cincy under pressure he will not be sloppy with the football. Under a similar scenerio last year Peterman had the worst half by any Qb in 40 years.

I think Allen gives the Bill's the best chance to win real football games. I dont think we have seen Dabolls offense yet, and having McCoy in the backfield changes how a defense will attack. If Peterman starts I see that going down hill fast and Allen plays sooner rather than later. Peterman doesnt have the arm to challenge down the field or outside the numbers. His front side throw to the boundary hangs and is a pick six waiting to happen.

Yes. Only been here 2 weeks. He is by far the fastest wr on the roster. With Allen's deep ball ability he is at worst a decoy/gadget wr.

You could see improvement from Carolina to Cleveland. Against Carolina he missed on the 3 50 yard passes. Besides those his short and intermediate accuracy has been fantastic. His accuracy was told to erratic. Make great passes and look terrible on simple ones. That has not been the case at all. He has had fantastic ball placement and his velocity on shorter passes allows for more yac. He easily gives Buffalo the best chance to win. Getting the start Sunday is the last dotting of I and crossing the T to him winning the position.

Better Dline, and secondary depth. Better wrs corp with a Healthy Benjamin, Streater, and Coleman.

Allen is coming into a playoff team who I would argue improved in the offseason. We dont need Cam Newton or Andrew Luck rookie seasons to be successful.
