McCoy gets rolling than the offense may be onto something. Without any real threat outside Allen desperately needs a wr to catch a deep ball to back off the defense.

Buffalo has one of the better cap scenarios going forward and can afford a hefty contract. Buffalo is not a high FA destination for numerous reason. They may be better off bringing a guy in and selling him for a season. At the same time Pitts used Bell and a very high rate. He was a 2nd rd pick so he is not making top money for his position. Yes he would be making 14 mil this year only. If he gets hurt he misses out on a large some of money. The fact they offered him a 6 year deal with 10 mil guaranteed is laughable and Bell is right to hold out. He wants some security like anybody else would.

The end of the day you would hold the cards. You could franchise him with the intentions of a long term deal.

He is getting separation. That is half the battle. He makes one of these plays and his confidence rises he could become a threat.

He's getting in position to make plays. He just needs to start making them. He still is a matchup nightmare. Against smaller and weaker secondaries I could see him having big games.

That's the point. Against a playoff team when is the last time a Qb carried the Bill's offense? Success has been tied to the Rb in Buffalo for what it seems like 20 years.

Right but in years past Buffalo finds themselves in a game late in the 4th. Last year vs Denver and Atlanta, Fitz vs the Steelers, ravens or numerous Pat's games. With out anybody of Fantasy relevance on the roster The offense scoring 3 TDs in the first half was impressive. You cant watch the game and not come away with Allen carried the offense.

I cannot remember a time where a Bills Qb without much help on his side of ball put his team on his back and won a game going away vs a top 10 team. Without some drops and bobbles Allen has 3 or 4 passing TDs. Still early but doing that to Minnesota means they can beat anyone. Rodgers is great but Minnesota is a much better team than GB. Good defense and Allen making a handful of plays will result in W's.

Catching balls 30 to 40 yards in the air is a skill alot of wrs dont have. They need to find Allen a guy who can get down the feild and track the ball. That takes him and the offense to another level.

His athletic ability makes defending him a problem. He looks like a more athletic young Roethlisberger. Most likely blitz and have him make quick decisions. The ability to recognize the blitz and attack it will be Allen next step. He does that we found ourselves our Qb for 15 years.

2-2 after the first two weeks would feel like 4-0.

A 3rd and shady. 3 years 45 mil. 40 guaranteed takes it down. Out of the backfeild and between the tackles he is the best in the business. All the cap space the next few years and Allen on his rookie deal, makes Buffalo a realistic player for him.

I'm glad to see Allen playing well. I have been high on him since the end of last season. His performance today was why I was so against starting Peterman and continuing the competition. Allen clearly pulled even at Cleveland. That's a precious 3 weeks Buffalo's offense will never be able to get back this year. A good defensive effort some big plays by Allen is the receipe for success this year.

Green Bay is a winnable game. The defense is not special, their offense is predictable and simplistic. Get pressure on Rodgers and keep him from extending plays Buffalo should be in it to the end. Glad to see the team rebound and beginning to rally around Allen.

I cant stand the double talk. Allen played poor and Darnold looks like a franchise Qb. Get out here. Pretty similar stat lines. The only difference, the Jets are playing defense and running the ball effectively.

The real problem Buffalo had. They didn't just own the fact Allen was the most talented Qb on field at the very first practice. The offense and receivers should have been given training camp and preseason to learn Allen's strengths and weakness and how to take advantage of both. By given him the least amount of reps with the first team and then going to him after 2 quarters of real football creates a level of distrust for the direction of the franchise. The defense has played uninspired until Allen got in their faces. The fact it took a rookie in first start to get that out of them is impressive and startlingly.

He is here because no one has offered much for him imo.

It's very difficult to find a scenario where that has been successful in the past 10 years. In most cases you are better off drafting the better player.

Heard that a comp for Oliver is an in shape Warren Sapp. Start from the inside out. Good safety play. Edmunds in the middle and put a beast in front of him.

Oliver. He is going to be special. Sure up the middle of the defense.

Agreed, but everything around them is faltering. McDermott is a defensive guy. That unit has been putrid. The Peterman decision, the McCarron decision looks terrible. McDermott needs to bust out some tape and super glue to keep the boat a float or he may go down with it.

I expected the year to be a tough one. I thought McDermott would have a competitive team though. The team needs to make a major change in effort and performance or McDermott will be on a short list of coaches that could be fired. If Allen shows poise and fire in these games, Buffalo could have a top 5 pick. A franchise Qb, a freak Mike with 100 mil in cap space. That's near perfect to takeover as any. Look at LA with Goeff, Chicago with Trubisky. Defensive minded head coaches who fumbled the grooming of the young Qb.

Let's see if McD can keep a team under 20 in a first half. Buffalo Wrs need to learn how to uncover when Allen breaks the pocket. How and when to get behind a defense in those circumstances. Do those 2 things and maybe they can win a game or 2.

Baptism by fire for Allen. This first month or two is quite difficult.

Deep pass. Take off some steam and stress.
