  1. Everyone knows the long term plan at QB is for Josh Allen to take over.  The bigger questions are at O Line, WR and TE.  I have no idea why the Bills have wasted so much time this year with Vlad, Benjamin and Clay.  All three of those guys are clearly done, or are playing like they want to be done.  If Allen needs time on the field, can't the same be said for Teller, Foster and Croom?

  2. What's most interesting is that the Defense is built around a bend but don't break zone coverage style.  With that philosophy they "shouldn't" be sitting at the top in Yards Per Game.  They 'should' be giving up a ton of yards, but not as many points.  Very strange.  But for those who think it's a statistical mirage, you really don't get those after 10 games.  Those things occur much earlier in the season when you haven't played enough games to bend the average.

    I would play Barkley Week 17 and see if he can play well again...

     

    If he can sign him as the backup next year...

     

    I guess I'd wonder why/if the Jets wouldn't call him up this afternoon.  McCown looked horrible and the Jets have their own injured first round rookie...and Darnold went to USC, so he has that in common with Barkley. And if you're Barkley, would you rather play in New York City or Buffalo NY?

    Barkley was excellent on Sunday. Pretty much a perfect game considering expectations.

     

    But he could follow it up with a 5 interception game in his next start. That’s usually how this works.

    It's pretty much the same if you haven't been bowling in years.  Your first game is great, but then muscle memory gives way to thinking too much and it's a mess.

    He certainly looked viable yesterday, but he did get away with a couple of bad passes that easily could have been picks.   I hope he sticks to give the team a reliable mentor/spot starter who can fll in for Allen.

    Come on people!  Yes, he got away with a couple.  So does pretty much every starting QB in every game!  Give Barkley a break.  I'm amazed he even knew enough of the plays to run an entire game worth of offense.  It sure didn't look like a short leash to me.

    You must not pay attention to what NFL teams do once they realize they aren't making the playoffs.  Younger players get chances to get on the field and it's especially important for Allen yo acclerate his learning curve. You capitalizing words isn't making your point any stronger by the way. 

    Keep your shirt on. Caps are simply easier than underlining text. And, I’d still start Barkley. The team looked like they were having fun with him, and he looked like he was having fun too. It makes a difference.

    3-7 record. They are done for the season with regard to 2018 playoff aspirations.  The players know Josh Allen is the future of the franchise and you will see more young guys getting chances as we did today. Playing Barkley makes no sense. 

    This is a TEAM sport played by men. The other 51 guys in the locker room want the best player to play at EVERY position EVERY game! They are NOT putting their bodies on the line for the development of a future anything ...and Allen knows that. And, if you’re right, with six games still remaining there’s more than enough time for Barkley to stink and then Allen will get his chance to return.

    The league in its greed for expansion has watered itself down. There just aren’t enough elite QBs or HCs. 

     

    IMHO The ‘problem’ is not that aren’t enough elite quarterbacks. The problem is that right there are a handful who simply won’t retire even while playing at an incredibly high level. We’ve really not seen this before. Those half dozen guys know more about the game and the play than the coaches on either sideline do. That generation can’t play forever...or can they?

    I think I can win you over...

     

    Its hot here, the hotter the weather the less clothing on the hot women. Not to mention Westgate is right there and they just opened a Top Golf so there's a lot to do in the area after the game. 

    Well...there is that! 

    Out of curiosity, have you been to Dallas or Minnesota? Unbelievable.

  10. I'm guessing there are a lot of starting interior lineman that were not taken in the First Round.  With this season pretty much in the crapper, I'd like to see the Bills try out as many of their youngsters as possible.  What more do we have to see from Vlad to know that he's terrible?  And for that matter, what do we need to see from Benjamin?  Put the kids in and let's see what they can do!
