  1. Veterans are important. We're having a youth movement but it's important to keep vets stashed strategically throughout the roster. Look at Lorax, lengthy career, it took til Buffalo until he became the difference maker he is. He honestly feels like a longtime Bill like Kyle W. They keep the 21yo kids on track, teach them how to be a pro. The problem is Atlanta will want two 1sts. No thank you. Age is not the problem, I'd love to have him otherwise.
  2. Zay Jones has been our #1 all year. This changes nothing. Hopefully we get Foster and McKenzie more involved that'd be great. Robert Foster hit a few big plays but I'd like to see more catches too even if it's just 10 yards. McKenzie is a guy Allen should be using more. I thought McKenzie was a great pickup by Beane. Give them another offseason to work on their craft, even without the draft our WRs in 2019 will be improved.
  3. How good is he? I don't watch Denver a whole lot. I watch every single Bills game but not every NFL game.
  4. Absolutely....... Hey, LeVeon Bell is available! What better weapon for Allen? 1,100 rushing / 1,000 receiving. As as far as the draft, the article, Brandon Beane drafting DL.......... Would not upset me if we drafted Josh Allen from Kentucky or Clelin Ferrell from Clemson. Greedy Williams opposite of Tre White is also highly palatable. If they can add a high end C and a RT in free agency we can go into the draft just needing guard, we have more options.
  5. Allen makes plays few can make. Allen just needs to master the short attack. He's gotten a lot better there but some of it is roster/personnel. When your RB gets dropped like a sack of potatoes every time you throw to him? Yeah, you look a lot worse than you are. If you were to upgrade that OL and gave him 2-3 backs he can throw to he'll look like the GOAT. Allen is so gifted he always goes for the difficult throw, there needs to be more balance. Sometimes you need to take the easy 5yds. Too bad there isn't a RB on the roster that can do that for him.
  6. Anderson you hope would never take a shot he's old, but as a 3rd stringer he should be safe from action. Barkley is 28 though, he can take a hit. If Allen goes down Barkley can hold the fort down no problem. Allen was extremely raw coming out, makes sense to have all that experience behind him. Wouldn't change a thing. I'd extend Barkley right now if I was them.
  7. One thing that has benefitted Allen is Barkley and Anderson. They've been incredible. I hope both of them come back.
  8. I had it: Mayfield Allen Darnold Rosen Jackson Wouldn't trade Allen for Mayfield for anything now though. If you think his adjustments post injury were great I think you're going to be pleased with Josh Allen year two.
  9. McDaniels will be the next HC of the Patriots. The Packers should go after Marvin Lewis from Cincinnati. He always makes the playoffs with a middling QB in Andy Dalton. Give Marvin Lewis a top 5 QB in Rodgers and he will wipe the floor with the NFL.
  10. Murphy can get you 8-10 sacks when he's healthy and I haven't given up on Lawson yet he was a 1st round pick. They can hold down that LE spot just fine.
  11. I'm fine with Hughes, Lawson and Murphy. Think we can get decent production there if we squeeze hard enough.
  12. No thanks I'd rather pay LeVeon Bell and draft Marquise Brown and a mid round guy like Parris Campbell. Add some OL in FA, add some OL in the draft. We need young unproven guys that are talented and on rookie contracts. Let's grow our own superstars in the draft. Save that money for Milano and Tre, they need to eat soon.
  13. This is the part of football nobody likes. When you see a player of LeSean McCoy's caliber decline. Borderline HOF back. With that said RB is holding back Josh Allen. Under no capacity do I want McCoy or Ivory back. Give me three 5th round RBs and it's a vast upgrade over what we have. There's no juice left to squeeze.
  14. I've never seen anything like Josh Allen. Out of all the scrambling QBs to ever play the game from Otto Graham up to now. Allen is the freakiest I've ever seen. Only other QB I've seen that can do what Allen does was Michael Vick. As a passer he's improved since coming back from his injury. Benefitted from Derek Anderson and Matt Barkley. People think he's inaccurate because of his completion %. The reason his completion % is down because he throws more difficult passes and never takes the easy dump offs. He's getting better in that area though.
  15. Liked Fitz. Liked Tyrod. Allen is an alien from space.
  16. He's also 6'2 with feet of a ballerina, he can be a red zone weapon. People did the same thing to Robert Woods. How he is nothing more than a #2 and he'll never be a #1. Guess what? He's one of the main guys over there on a playoff team. Same thing would happen with Zay. Slightly different skill sets, but similar draft position and similar labels were placed on them unfairly. Yes he can be a #1, he is right now and you can draft someone in the 1st round but they ain't going to beat out a 3 year pro. Just rejoice that Allen has a legit NFL receiver to throw to.
  17. It can take a couple years for a WR to find himself. Some dominate right away, others do not for various reasons. Zay never had a QB until now, that's the difference. What happened yesterday will happen again and again. Also, keep in mind we have an inadequate and impotent OL, that has effected our passing game. We are not the Pittsburgh Steelers the Buffalo Bills are coming straight from the gutter, the entire offense has to be built from the ground up. We did not have a 15 year veteran QB like Drew Brees or Ben Roethlisberger, we had Nathan Peterman and AJ McCarron. Of course other receivers have found success sooner but if you put them here they'd look like Zay.
  18. Never said he'll do it this year, next year most likely. I said Zay will have a few more big games over the remaining 4 games. This is his first year with our rookie QB. Got it? Half the season Allen didn't even play because his throwing arm almost got ruined. You expect Zay to put up 1,000 in 2018? Hahahahahahaha. That's not how the world works.
  19. His development is normal. WR is a position where there tends to be a learning curve and I think he's starting to shine. Season is not over yet, if it's stats you care about I think you'll be satisfied over the next 4 games of the season. Zay is ready to ascend. He's capable of being a #1. We did this to Woods, we did this to Watkins. Zay is good enough for me and he should be for you he's a good receiver. He is the #1 until you beat the 1. Also, I'm not sure your 1st round WRs this year can beat out Zay Jones.
  20. It's nice hearing the Phins players say nice things, but they were dirty af all game long. It was like they were trying to end Allen's career. Football is a brutal sport but the hits to the head and lower legs was *****. The three timeouts in a row before half was *****. Why go there? Just a classless organization. Hate them more than New England or the Jets.
  21. Robiskie has done well with Zay Jones, Robert Foster and Isaiah McKenzie. Those three guys will be core guys in 2019. Juan Castillo OTOH had nothing to work with whatsoever. He put out good lines in Buffalo before with Wood and Cog. Crossman though I agree needs to go.
  22. McDermott is also in his 2nd year. Year 3 I expect playoffs, possibly even win the division. Our defense is good, we got a franchise QB and we got 90 million dollars and 10 draft picks to shape our offense. Allen seems to like Daboll's offense so that's all that matters. Allen was a Brady fan, I'm sure he's studied him profusely, now he has a coach who worked with him and he can play in the same offense. Mike McCarthy belongs in Cleveland, not Buffalo. Baker Mayfield and Mike McCarthy is a match made in heaven. Anyways, OBD is sitting pretty. Three weeks ago I would have agreed but we're coming along just fine now.
  23. McD is so close to turning this around. No other coach on the planet deserves the job more.
  24. I'm a big fan of Caleb Wilson from UCLA, he's a projected 3rd.
