Formerly Allan in MD

It's something that never ceases to puzzle me. When Donahoe was GM of the Steelers, year after year he's lose top tier free agents and come up with solid replacements. With the Bills, he rarely came up with anyone top tier or really solid.

And it's only game 1.

Who cares about rankings. It's all meaningless comes post season.

Don't sign him until we've played the Jets again.

TGIM = Thank God It's Miami twice this year.

The true "beast" is Beane.

"Who's Josh Allen? He's from Wyoming and he plays in Buffalo."

Yes, I was worried about Williams. BB will put up with Brown only so long. Any word on Brown's new helmet?

This

Needs to hire Rex as Assistant Head Coach and we'll see who wins the fight.

We'll see how Shaq plays next season once he's been a free agent who performed this season because the Bills didn't extend him. Just a thought.

I thought this was a Top 40 thread.

Many of these "evaluators" perhaps are stuck on the reports that came out prior to the draft that Allen had some accuracy issues. Get over it; guys with tools improve with coaching and experience. If the Dodgers had bought in to what everyone was saying about Sandy Koufax's wildness his first few years, they would have dumped a guy who became perhaps the greatest lefty in MLB history. Johnny Unitas had already been cut when the Colts signed him. Hasek was dumped by the Red Wings because they felt they could do better. Etc. etc. etc.

When you're option is not picked up you have something to prove.

They can sign Williams off our practice squad. Perhaps we should sign him and put Foster or someone on IR, which I thought we'd do in any case last week? Please!

Allen really does need to slide. He started doing it late last season but needs to be reminded, and reminded.

He's rookie in his first NFL game. Jeez!!!

He's not weird, he's inexperienced. Playing only 12 games in the NFL does that to you.

Sweeney may turn out to be a major surprise of the draft. Obviously he still has a lot to learn.

And it's only the first regular season game.

Allen has a lot of experience to gain. It certainly showed today, as however did the other side of his makeup. I believe the guy will be okay, given his grit and determination.

Barkley will be but Bell today was a good test. For the past three seasons people have been saying that Eli was once a successful quarterback. Check the recent results. Plus, I believe he's lost a weapon or two.

Front offices may want to tank. Players, however, have reputations and careers to uphold. That's why the notion of tanking is ridiculous. Players in any sport will not buy in PERIOD And if one thinks bribes will work, you'll have another Black Sox-type scandal.

BB says to Brown "Then play without a helmet."

Good luck guys.
