The Red King

Think the Saints would give us something for him now? I kid, I kid! ?

Tone isn't conveyed over the internet, so if you're trying to use sarcasm or such you need to add extra effort to make the tone known, if you're not being literal. A snarky comment at the end, going over-the-top with the sarcasm as such. I took the OP as serious initially, though after hearing it was supposed to be tongue-in-cheek, and re-reading it, I can see it. Tone, or loss thereof, has lead to many internet misunderstandings.

A thrilling showdown of rookie first round QBs each trying to show they...wait...neither one is playing? The starters are who? Oh...this is just gonna be a barn-burner...

It was a rebuild year anyway, now we have two injured QBs and have to start the guy nobody in their right mind would start under any other circumstance now. Traded away a starting o-lineman, had another unexpectedly retire due to health, and a third go outright bat-poop crazy. Yeah, I think there are reasons the offense is this bad, and not all of it could be predicted by the front office.

I think the title is wrong. I think if were titled "Everyone that thought anyone would be better then Tyrod, we told you". I don't think anyone would argue then. Not everyone that wanted Tyrod gone thought he was the worst option at QB. Just...not good enough either.

Wait...we're talking about Tyrod "9 point vs. JAX" Taylor, right? How many did he put up on CAR? Yeah, let's assume he puts 20 up on Chicago this year with less offensive talent.

Also, to be clear, just because some of us wanted TT gone, and loved the trade, does not mean we wanted to go into the year with Peterman as starter, Allen as backup, and no other QB on the roster.

The Browns gave us a nice pick and took Tyrod's salary off our hands. He then promptly started 2.5 games for them. I...still think we fleeced them. Did the Bills mishandle the QB situation? Horribly. But getting rid of TT was not a mistake. If the guy was lighting it up in Cleveland instead of holding a clip board, I'd be more open to OP's argument.

Is it bad that I want this as much as I do? XD

Allen has two wins, against 2017 playoff teams. Rosen has two wins...against the 49ers. Allen had a comeback drive, for all the marbles, against the Titans. Rosen had a comeback drive against the 49ers. Think OP's trolling us all. I can't think they'd make this post in seriousness. If so, ?.

Anyone else's skin crawl reading these weasel words?

Lead the charge? Kenny Davis starting RB confirmed! ?

Hate to break it to you, but if you think Tyrod was single-handedly responsible for them making the playoffs, you're delusional. The Bills made it in spite of Tyrod, not because of. I offer the JAX playoff game as evidence. Also, Tyrod was out the Indy game and played the JAX game, so the Bills' record with him was 8-8. Baseline, just like him.

The offense sucked with Tyrod. The offense sucked with Peterman. The offensive sucked with Allen. The offense sucked with Anderson. Maybe, just maybe, QB isn't the only/biggest concern with the offense. Tyrod is Tyrod. He got benched in Cleveland for playing just like he did in Buffalo. Nobody here that wanted Tyrod gone is eating crow. The mistake wasn't getting rid of Tyrod, it was in not bringing in a FA to start and mentor Allen. That's where the fault lies, at least at the QB position.

I still think Allen will work out in time. That being said, this train wreck is on the staff for not bringing in a quality vet QB to start while Allen learned and provide mentoring. Going with Peterman and Allen to start was a complete disaster. I can't yell at Anderson. Given how little time he had to acclimate, and his age...I knew he could have a game like this. Never should have been in this position.

And how well has throwing behind the sticks worked for us? Like watching Tyrod again...

Who goes in at QB if Anderson goes down Sunday? Honestly, I think that's the only reason Peterman's still on the roster. Once Allen is healthy, Peterman is likely gone.

I think you misinterpreted my post. Rereading it, I can see how. I think Tyrod is a passable backup, nothing more. I think Cleveland keeps him for that reason. I was glad to see Tyrod's mediocre play continue in Cleveland, so the people here that blamed the players around him no longer have that excuse.

As Buffalo is demonstrating, you don't start a rookie QB without having decent backup. Taylor's not getting traded. Some bit of validation in seeing Tyrod continue to be Tyrod after changing teams.

I think a lot of people are missing the original point. They were arguing that Eli did terribly his first season, but a lot of people were willing to give him a pass that season, yet four games in, people are already willing to write Allen off now. The original post has nothing to do with Eli or the Giants this season. It was comparing Eli and Allen's first seasons, and how people reacted to them.

I think this would be a horrible mistake. I still think there's a chance they'll do this, though. "The Process".

Homestly, with our WR corp, I say kick the tires. Even if he just matches our current receivers, maybe he'll have some chemistry with Allen. It also sends a message that what's going on right now at WR isn't acceptable. Everyone drops passes. I think most of us remember a certain Pittsburgh game and a not-to-shabby Bills receiver dropping a wide open game winner...

If the Bills take care of the Texans, they are back in the AFC East race.

So...lemmie be sure I got this. Allen: After three games is definitely, without fail a bust! Three games is enough to evaluate a quarterback. Rosen: Sure he doesn't look good now, but you have to wait a few years before you can judge him!

People already writing Allen off obviously never saw Aikman or Eli's first seasons. Back on topic, Rodak is an idiot. This is a guy that last year said the Bills' season was over before it started, then we broke the drought. That being said, as much as it pains me to admit, I agree with him. Benji is a waste, and we're not making a championship run, so why not give Shady a chance elsewhere, assuming the price is right. Buffalo's offensive line is an outright tire fire that is not helping Allen or Shady, and it's not getting fixed this year.
