We need to focus more on offense. This is 2019.

I got a great idea! Let’s spend another first round pick on a defensive player! Problem solved...

Nobody EVER wants to blame the defense, but you are right. Up until Tre’s INT, they absolutely sucked. Period. it’s hilarious to me no matter how bad the D is at times, they always seem to get a pass. The lack of any competent quarterback over the years has made us all gun shy. Even when we do have a guy that is 10-7 as a starter it’s not good enough. Some of you should be ashamed.

Really? You’re really looking foolish in this thread, which isn’t surprising. You are bashing Allen, but are too ignorant to admit that the defense was the real culprit in almost losing this game. Yes, everyone’s precious defense sucked today. Until Tre’s interception. Allen has drops from Knox that would have been 6 and Beasley. That would have changed a lot. All you are likely focusing on his missed deep ball to Roberts. Wake up and see the big picture...

Except that he’s NOTHING like Tyrod...

Excellent post and I completely agree.

Stay with me here... I really believe some of Josh Allen’s deep ball inaccuracy can be blamed on not getting enough arc under the ball. He just doesn’t “drop the ball in the bucket” so to speak. I think his arm is almost TOO strong. He has the ability to fire the ball on a straight line more than just about any other QB in the league, while most qbs have to get more air, or touch, under the ball to throw deep. By throwing on a line, the ball usually arrives in the defender’s face mask assuming our guy has him beat. This is also why he often overthrows. It became clear to me this past Sunday when I saw Darnold drop one in Robby Anderson’s arms from near the end zone. Darnold has to throw that bal with nearly all he had and had perfect arc under the ball to drop it right on Anderson. Allen would have fires a missile with ease and likely have overthrown his guy. Either that or the defender would have made a play due to the lack of touch. I think a lot of this can be corrected. Much has been made about Allen’s quick learning this offseason with short to intermediate throws. I expect this off-season to refine the other area Allen struggles with and you will see a complete qb in 2020.

My gut tells me they let Spain walk. He’s on a one year deal and I’ll bet they try moving Ford to LG. Feliciano will need a raise though.

He will probably be more realistic that Lamb. Lamb is too good to last until the 20’s...

CeeDee Lamb is the apple of my eye right now. He’s a dynamic playmaker that could really change this offense.

This is absurd. When the Chiefs took Mahomes many mocked them. Mahomes was considered a late first project at best. Ah, the benefit of hindsight...

I would say he’s more like Dez Bryant in that he’s not very fast but he’s a hands catcher that should fight for the ball in traffic...

My guess is that Beane is looking to draft a DE in the first next year. If he was at Iowa, I’m sure Espensa was at the top of his watch list. If he was at the Penn State game, Yetur Gross-Matos is a stud and could be there in the 20’s. Dang it...I was hoping for one of these stud WRs but this is certainly trending towards DE being on the top of their list...

I know exactly what you’re saying. I said before that Allen is like Rothlisberger where he will make you scratch your head for three quarters but then have you in a spot to win a game you have no business winning. That’s exactly what he is right now. I love Allen. I think he’ll be the guy for the next decade, but it would be nice to see him be more of a manager until he needs to be different in the closing minutes. This kid has it. He just needs to harness it more in the early stages of the games.

The backup QB is, was, and always will be the most popular person on the team for any fan base. Especially one as dysfunctional as this one. Heck, people even claymores for Frank Reich when Jim Kelly was here. It really shows the impatience of the fan base when they don’t get instant results. We have a 23 year old who is basically a wild stallion that needs tamed. He’s got all the tools. Now it’s up to the coaches and him to put it all together. One thing that can’t be argued is that he is a gamer and you can’t teach that. It’s instincts. All the great ones have it. Matt Barkley doesn’t have it. So you can sit there and whine all day long that Barkley should be the guy, but you’re not going to win that argument. Not even close. Josh Allen is this staff’s guy and has a winning record even with what he was given last year. There is something to be said about that. He’s not a game manager. Never will be. He’s a Favre/Rothlisberger/Cam type qb that will make you crazy for 3 quarters but win it for you in the fourth. Get used to him. He’ll be here for a long time.

Exactly. People have sniffed too much glue to think that Allen is going anywhere anytime soon. He’s their guy. Period. It’s laughable to think otherwise.

I agree. Check out highlights of Antonio Gandy-Golden from Liberty.

I’d say 4. I think we have less than an average chance of winning this game. I mean let’s be honest guys...they are the Patriots and we are still learning how to win games. Going forward I will like our chances more, but I fear that the Pats will teach us who still has control on the division today.

I honestly thought Gruden would get fired after The last game. Keenum looked like crap and the team has been mediocre for too long. At 0-3, I think their season is done and they are staring a top 5 pick square in the eye. Fire Gruden and let Haskins start to see what you have. This is a good year to need a qb with Tua, Herbert, and Fromm, so the more you know about your current qbs the better.

Win...A+...

This. I’m just hoping the offense doesn’t struggle today because I feel really good about the defense. If Allen struggles that will be all this board will talk about all week.

What is it that tells you he “isn’t it”?

Last year?

I can handle losing for a year if that means changes are coming. Let’s be honest...there have been WAY TOO MANY seasons that felt lost before the games began.

Exactly! We have competent people all across this organization and I can’t remember when that was the case. I’m very excited. No more hoping for draft position for me. This team is headed in the right direction for once.
