RoyBatty is alive

What do you mean it was a canard, it certainly wasn't, it was a bona-fide concern, if it wasn't he would have been pick #1, his athletic superiority to the other QBs was/is undeniable.

Normally I would agree with your but so far it sure does pass the eye test.

So does anyone think or world famous QB coach for the Bills David Culley is going to try to improve and change Allen's footwork...lets pray not.

If Allen continues to look as good as he does, Palmer s going to be in very high demand, he can coach multiple QBs and get paid a lot, lot of money. I recall Palmer interview talking about how great Allen could be, i thought it was self serving but everything he said seems to be coming true and more so. Very impressive interview and the results so far back him up.

Great read. Amazing the difference in such an incredibly short period of time.

I HOPE you are right,home opener, when was the last time new England lost a home opener. And Brady looks as good as he ever has, his performance vs Philly was top notch, they sure dont look like they are going to start out slow this year..

Sucker bet on which side.

What shocks me is New England is only a 7 point favorite at home,l Texans played them tough last year, if a Texan db didn't drop an int they would have beat them.

Whole thing is a waste of time. There is no way they would retry

Manafort jury tells judge they cannot come to a consensus on one count Tremendous waste of money and the entire trial is meaningless to Trump and/or the lection.

That was great thanks Pretty much blows Chris Charters thesis out of the water.

Drop into coverage, was it Rex that had Dareus dropping into coverage? LOL

He has been outstanding. I think he was misused at Stanford or not up to his potential, the Bills are discovering he can be a penetrating DT and cause havoc in the backfield instead of just standing his ground. I saw him run down a scat back in the Carolina game about 12 yards downfield. I think he is going to be a steal just like K Williams was as a 5th rd pick.

Combined with that deep nasally voice he is hard to watch on commercials. The commercial when he cuts off a price of his neck hair, wont even call it a beard, then sprinkles the hair stubs on the guy and says "here is some Luck", I damn near puked.

I dont think his arm will lever be what it was. They are going to look back on this draft as an extraordinary blunder. They picked up a guard, yes a guard, could have had Allen or Rosen?

"And then …, and then there was that touchdown pass against the Panthers in the Bills’ first preseason game. We watched it over and over. Did a Buffalo quarterback actually find THAT receiver and make THAT throw?" THAT play and in particular that throw that changed my mind, i probably watched in 20 times. I was wondering if he knew how tight that would be, did he get away with one? It is hard for me to recall a throw that was that good. How many NFL QBs would even dare make the throw, a handful.

They are plenty of low IQ sports fans out there, they proudly call themselves "clones", self iincriminating themselves they are the mindless followers they are. Rome was entertaining for the first few months but his shtick gets old but hey, some peole listen to him year after year.p

Great write up as always Shaw but the shameless plagiarism from the Maltese Falcon, ".... caught me wistfully looking at my Jim Kelly bobblehead. He asked what it was, and all I could say was “the stuff dreams are made of.” I have NEVER been this excited for pre-season in my life, not even close. What J Allen has demonstrated thus far stuns me. Yes it is only 2 pre season games but this is the most hope I have had since the Kelly years and it is even close. I think we have a POTENTIAL QB that is going to match the greatness of Kelly. After this long long drought it really does fell like it is almost a dream. And thank God Kelly has already annointed Allen as the new franchise QB for the Bills, he has done that multiple teams, last one was EJ and look how they al worked out.

To the OP, who was more annoying of the three, Gregg Williams, Doug Marone, Dick Jauron..you really think McDermott is more annoying than this group, we have the Devious, the surly and the walking dead but McDermott it he most annoying of people.

Bill Belichek, works fine for him. McDermot also claps too much. I think he should hold pressers al the time to discussions upcoming game plans. This is a ridiculous thread.

Well you can if that is all you have (Jeff George) but thus far, two pre-season games there arent glaring weaknesses in his game...poise, ability to move in the pocket, looking off DBs, deceptive mobility, and that cannon of an arm. His accuracy had been good if you account for some miscommunication with receivers and dropped balls and players giving up on routes. All things to work on in pre-season. I for one am truly stunned, thus far how good he looks.

Wasnt he Offensive rookie of the year and in a few more fizzled out. How about Vince Young, he was offensive rookie of the year and look where he landed, even JP Losman once healthy and had his best year when he had a ful season under him. Bad Qbs can get lucky and have some incredible early success until DCs learn how to game plan them.

Good post but if after all these years 5 super bowl rings and people kissing his ass as the GOAT, if Ton Brady still is motivated from the draft almost two decades ago the man will never be happy. I think this entire "chip" nons-sesne is wildly blown out of proportion.

i have a good friend that is a Cleveland Browns fan, i would LOVE to see Colemen have a great night tonight. Great story line for Hard Knocks of which the Browns ineptitude seems to be a never ending supply of.

Its also ok to wait til the end of the season to see who wins the Super Bowl, i mean why waste valuable time speculating on the future.
