Normal to doubt the Bills. Have you read THIS board and the comments from (supposedly) fans? Thinks is, we don't know what the team is. They get blown out then they crush. Only the the 2nd half of the Chargers game was it even. The defense is really something. Between those first 6 quarters and the last 6, could it be more different? Let's hope the latter is the accurate play as it was fun to watch! Anybody recall that QB pressure from the Bills D in the last 5-8 years? As for Allen, IMO he has been the real deal since he stepped on the field. And his WRs still can't catch!

That's what I thought too. No fault on Tre, but the helmets did collide... Only way to avoid is to tackle low and then they can say you lead with the helmet...

Hard to say that caused a season ending knee injury!

I liked it. Varied plays, passes on 1st downs including long ones, small passes to the flats to Ivory, etc. At last it was creative. And quite obvious more "zip it" plays are what is needed for Josh. Cute plays didn't work. Some of his touch pass play were simply dropped. I didn't think we can judge if they were too conservative in the 2nd half. If the Vikings had sown life and they had remained like that, sure, blame them. But as they continued to beat themselves, perfect approach IMO. And think about it: no real running game to speak of and no WRs, again - drops galore and hardly relied on. Hell Benjamin got credited for a catch on what was yet another drop. Yet they scored 27 points! Touchdown reception by a TE and the long pass play was by a running back. The Bills' D won't deliver this field position time and time again, but imagine what that offense can do with a McCoy that gets his yards and some wideouts that finally catch passes!

And a groin injury slows you down. People are pathetic when looking for negative stuff Edit: and thread title is a great question. The pass rush in the 2nd half of last game and this game, compared to the other 6 quarters... I mean it's like two different teams. Yes schemes and playcalling matter, but to this extent?

I recall many "experts" putting him among the top picks. Some even at #1. And most placed him with the Top 5 QBs to go. It's a few that said "project" and "bust" that the gloom'n'doom posters hatched on.

I hope he does do it again! Just not when there are other defenders just after as in this case. In his postgame interview you can sense he would do it again to win. I prefer that to the QB sneak that was planned. No, not the goal line one, which was perfect, the other one. He was getting ragdolled. Overall he took very little bumps and he got them as sacks, not as a runner.

Oh come on now. Just as I was to write how great his gameplan had been. First half or course, but they weren't too conservative in the 2nd half IMO, not that we can say for sure. I'm sure they would have open it up again had the Vikings shown life... and they didn't need to. Think about it: no real running game to speak of and no WRs, again - drops galore and hardly relied on. Hell Benjamin got credited for a catch on what was yet another drop. Yet they scored 27 points! Touchdown reception by a TE and the long pass play was by a running back. The Bills' D won't deliver this field position time and time again, but imagine what that offense can do with a McCoy that gets his yards and some wideouts that finally catch passes!

On to the next half. I hope all the "Allen is a bust" downers WILL SHUT UP He'll have rough growing pains to come for sure but that dude is as legit as any other top pick

That kicker is MONEY And is there a better commentator than Romo? I hope Allen watches the game with all the advice he's providing him!

Hell yeah! Hughes, Kyle and Trent were all there! I love too that when they did the screen the secondary was all over it even if it did look well set up Let's give a shout to the coaches too!

Just imagine indeed! Still, keep thowing

2 rushing TDs so far from Allen! Let the dude run it too

Can.'t wait to see if McD wins his first challenge of the year! And as others have said, let Allen loose, cute and precise stuff, not his strength WHAT! Challenge not accepted!

What a show! I just love the kid! Big props to the defense too! Even the refs are on our side for once ha ha

Yeah but ALL running games and running attacks don't kill it every week. If McCoy is injured, fine, sit him, but to say he doesn't contribute, come on now. Anyway I feel we need to see some TWO backs sets on offense and use Shady more for the passing game, especially in the first half while Ivory pounds it. If, if, if, the OLine does run bock better then the defense should be softened up on the 2nd half to use him more down the middle. Why can't Daboll keep the defenses guessing a bit?

And the video game tournament killing. All the pics of the killer I saw in the media you saw him with the Bills logo wall in the background. And IDK if it's old news, but I only read recently that McVeigh lost it and felt pushed over the edge probably after the 3rd Bills Superbowl defeat! Seriously, all those stories in a few months! I've never seen this on any other team in any sport whatsoever. And the year is far from over! But as for THIS one, to me McCoy is innocent til proven guilty. He sure should pick his women better though, whatever what follows!

Besides the italics, I agree But I still see many good signs with Allen. It's crystal clear Mayfield has way better mastery of the game at this time, but if Josh comes even 90% close to him, with his physical attributes he will be a FORCE

I hear ya. Al the praise on Darnold while Allen is dismissed out of hand by the media. To all the Allen haters, didn't he look much better than both Darnold and Tyrod? Like way better? Mayfield is the real deal though. Much better mastery of the game. But who knows in time if Allen picks it up, he has more physical tools.

I was a TT fan for the first two years with the Bills. No tears for a guy paid $18M this year. Sure the ego is badly bruised but he had 3 years as a starter with the Bills and got hand delivered the #1 spot in Cleveland. All the while making millions and millions. Much better than being a backup in Baltimore and fading out of the game. He just didn't cut it. He can be a decent backup anywhere for years and collect some more $$$. Not the hardest of life on this Earth!

Would Palmer be interested in a two week stint? I mean NFL team can hire outside "advisers" too.

So, who thinks Allen is such a bust? So far, Darnold has certainly not looked better, many picks not taken by the Browns and bad stats overall even with a rolling running game that Allen hasn't had yet, and well, any of you miss Tyrod? Browns OLine can't run block at all, worst than the Bills. I like the Jets doing the quick toss to their RB running to the side, that'd be perfect for Shady (reading this Daboll?). And the indiscipline shown by the Jets, ouch. The wipe after the TD and giving the receiver the ball on the sideline on a 4th down, that's as undisciplined as it gets. The 3rd downs and 8-10-14 that seems so long for so many teams is just another short down for Allen. Yeah he has been inaccurate last game, but look at his strong points too will ya? I predict Mayfield will be damn good, if not in the second half, at least over the rest of his career. I watched him in the preseason and he's sharp as any rookie I've seen.

Yeah so dumb but you brainiac can't even grasp a damn post. I did put I'd take results like Packers or Saints over the Bills drought. And yeah, I'd take 5 out of 14 instead of 1 in 17, genius. The point of this thread, explained for you, is that many fans think if the Bills have at last a franchise QB, all is settled, while besides with Peyton and Brady, no team has been automatic for playoffs and legit contenders even if they did have superstar QBs. Keeping with arch-rivals, Marino anyone? And yeah I'll still take a franchise QB on the team anytime. Man you're dense.

I usually dislike all these so-called journalists that just want to dig dirt, real or imagined, and sell books like leeches and vultures. But hey, anything to attack the Patriots fortress ha ha. That being said, I want to see the Bills beat the Brady-Bellichick duo while they are strong. Not because Father Time hit them in the knees.

Drinking the Bills Koolaid? Watch out! It's addictive
