Going into 2019 you would rather be Buffalo. Jacksonville's defense is more talented then Buffalo's, but Buffalo is getting similar production out of their defense for 40 cents to the dollar compared to Jacksonville. Buffalos cap is significant. Who does Buffalo bring in? But seems to me Jacksonville may crash and burn.

Let's hope he brings the same confidence to the field.
Agreed. He does that Buffalo could be in for a good game.

Maybe I'm looking way too far into this, Allen walking in with swag and confidence. Every other time there was video of him walking in he seemed nervous.

Jonah Williams would cure some ills on this team immediately
He would. Imo if Oliver slips Williams goes higher. I dont think you can pass on a difference maker. I dont care the position. Who is going to be the best guy in 5 years. Who is the best player.

I’m excited for Allen’s return. I’m glad it’s against the jags, and glad their defense played pretty lights out most of last week.
Time to step up and be the franchise guy.
No excuses. For me anyways this game is very telling for his future. Zero reason he shouldn’t show progression from what we seen earlier this year. More than half a season in, been studying behind other quarterbacks for weeks. If he’s the guy I expect him to lead this team to a victory.
Jacksonville is still one of the best defenses in the league. Probably the most talented at all levels. I think you will see him play similar to how he played vs Houston. Going to be the same kind of game. I think Mcdermott will be able to make Bortles uncomfortable. Any performance that results into a win for Buffalo is an improvement for Allen at this point. Buffalo doesnt have the players to look like KC, LA, or NO on offense. It's going to have to be a bit of an ugly game. Whichever Qb makes a few big plays will win the game imo.

This allows him to fall outside of the top 5 right to Buffalo. He is one of the few difference makers available.

Go .500 plus. I would personally like to see a solid 4 quarters of offense game sprinkled in.

Highly unlikely imo. Damaged goods when brought in.

Josh Allen's game against Houston? He had 84 yards passing and accounted for zero touchdowns.
Did you mean Tennessee when he had 82 yards passing and accounted for one touchdown?
The 2 passes to Benjamin were his best of the season. They score on that drive and they win the game with Allen at Qb imo. His performance vs Minnestoa wasnt bad either. Yeah Marriota was worst and Buffalo beat a playoff team. Barkley completed 15 passes, 2 dropped interceptions, obviously the future lol.
-
He is simply a better player. He is more accurate, more athletic, and a better arm. Allen is the leader of the offense. Against a tough aggressive defense Allen will have to make some wow plays for Buffalo to stay in the game. His game vs Minnestoa and Houston are easily forgotten.

Have to play within the rules of the game. I'm not saying you abandon "where" the linebackers play but you replace them with safeties that can tackle and it turns into a basketball strategy where you have man coverage on everybody. You just get carved up in zone anymore. Too many gaps.
Linebackers are too slow and heavy to play that short area in a man/man scheme. Safeties and corners are going to have to evolve in tackling and the new generation of these players will have to enjoy tackling a lot more than the current crop does.
I understand what you are saying. You play small they will run power all day. Defense would much rather give up a 70 yard bomb vs 10 runs for 70 yards and that same td. Both lines and backs would do that vs small fronts.

IMO, the game illustrates the "Brandon Spikes" problem that plagues the modern NFL defensive schemes. They are all (including Wade Phillips) concocting defenses for an NFL that's on its way out. I was surprised at how easily gashed the Wade Phillips defense was last night, personally.
Last night was essentially the Maginot Line versus German armor in World War II. A defense brilliantly designed for combat of the past up against the combat of the future.
The defensive mindset has to adapt to what you saw on your televisions last night. No more linebackers. No more zone coverage. No more lining up your four pass rushers on the line of scrimmage. Somebody will come up with something radical to countermeasure.
That's a wrong observation. If Kc or La went zone and played 1 or 0 Lbs. Hunt and Gurley would have ran for 200 yards. They are both well balanced and dictate personal to the defense. No different than the 90's Bill's, greatest show on turf Rams. The difference is the rules have changed. No contact down the feild. No real ability to hit wrs in the air. However, no matter the era what Reid and Mcvay have in terms of talent and play calling would be dynamic anywhere.

My answer to the question? Allen shouldn’t be starting against Jacksonville. I would start Barkley and see how it goes. Putting Allen back out there looks to me like the Coaching Staff doesn’t want to embarrassed by Barkley doing well again and then having to answer questions about their early and offseason decisions.
What advantage does Barkley have at Quarterback over Allen? None. Who is the more talented player? Allen. Allen gives the 2018 Buffalo Bill's the best chance at winning. Getting Allen on the field for development is important but when he is the best player as well, not playing him is lunacy. Do different than the Peterman dumpster fire over the summer. Play the more talented guy. Period.

I must have missed Mariota sitting 5 weeks to have it heal.

Wasn't Allen throwing fewer bad picks as the season went on?
Yes. And Minnesota was more impressive than than the Jets. It is like most think Allen's play was the reason they lost to the Ravens, Colts, Patriots, and Bears. Allen made his best 2 throws of the season right before getting injured vs the Texans. He gives Buffalo a better chance at beating Jacksonville.
-
The bottom of the AFC is trash. Allen puts a few wins together here Buffalo could have an interesting holiday season.
-
Barkley completed 15 passes. He wasnt Aaron Rodgers. The Jets are a dumpster fire. Allen healthy gives Buffalo the best chance to win. He led them to 2 victories over probable playoff teams. Imo he was on his way to beating the Texans before getting hurt.
-
Allen showed promise. Allen should have been the starter since May. That cant be undone. Healthy after the bye you start Allen. Allen has the better arm, is more mobile and has more potential than anyone Buffalo has. Beating the Vikings on the road vs beating the Jets on the road is 10X more impressive.
-
The season at this point is getting Allen experience and enough time under center to evaluate him as a player. He showed flashes of being very promising. If the next 6 weeks Allen looks good and Buffalo can win more than lose they are set up perfectly for next year.

This incident allows him to fall outside of the top 5 right to Buffalo. He is one of the few difference makers available. This is a case where the coach acts insecure, and less mature than his athlete. Buffalo is at the point where they need talent.

I dont totally agree with this. He does win them he just doesnt maintain possession to the ground.
He is bottom half in the NFL in contested catches. For a slow talk wr that's all he has. The plays he doesnt make the catch the defense wins.
-
The talent is not top 25 on offense in the NFL. I will say they have have some complementary pieces now. Mitchell could fit a Tarik Cohen type role. Match up nightmare and stretch the defense horizontally. Foster flashed the ability to stretch the defense deep. Zay looks like the best underneath Wr. Benjamin drops big plays every week. He plays football like he is 6-1. For his size he is not winning 1 on 1 jump balls. The offense should be able to move the ball and pick up first downs. They have no margin for error. If they catch balls they are ok. A few drops will kill drives.

Maybe they dont care if he wins right now but gets the game experience under his belt.
Not saying you're wrong, just saying.
Was Barkley beating a terrible jets team more impressive than Allen vs Minnesota? No. Is Barkley a franchise Qb? No. Why when you are 3-6 would you go with a guy on the team 3 weeks over your first rd draft pick? Its lunacy to have the discussion.

The defense is pretty solid overall. With the money Buffalo has to spend this offseason, the rest of the year needs to be used to get Allen ready to go. If he looks like a guy in December 2019 could be a huge year for Buffalo.

I agree. If Foster can make even 1 play this week color me impressed. Allen and the wrs will have to be on point. Ramsey and Bouye are 2 of the best. Toughest defense Buffalo played all year.
