  1. These are probably the sane fans that justified Gronkowski's cheap shot on TreDavious White. Patriots* fans are all *****.
  2. Then there are players we signed to 1 year contracts. Frank Gore TJ Yeldon Quinton Spain Jordan Phillips Lorenzo Alexander Should we re-sign any of them? Sorry if I didn't list all of the players. This was all I could remember. Was Andre Roberts a 1 year signing?
  3. If Josh Allen is cleared to play, play him. If not, Matt Barkley is capable of getting a win against the Titans. It would be great to have Singletary back.
  4. My thoughts.... I'm thrilled to be at 3-1, and we had a real chance at being 4-0. Offense: QB. Josh Allen is playing better than last season, but he still needs to make improvements. The turnovers are frustrating, but I'm confident that Allen will get better from it. Allen is a daredevil, and that may never change. It's great to see him get into a rhythm with his receivers, which is his biggest improvement. Let's see how he does as the season continues. RB: I was sad to see Shady go, but the running game is doing very good. Frank Gore is still an impressive runner and Devin Singletary has already made his mark on the team. Let's hope he gets healed up soon. It was great to see TJ Yeldon being used as a receiver yesterday, which is where he really excels at. Patrick DiMarco is a good blocker, but having him line up is a wide receiver is not what I want to see. WR: John Brown has been a great addition and Cole Beasley is very reliable. Isaiah MCKenzie has been a pleasant surprise. Now the bad. Zay Jones has shown little. He's had a couple of clutch catches, but he is not showing that he's the top receiver that we were hoping he could become. Yesterday's game did not help him at all, Robert Foster has disappeared. Granted, this is only his second year, and he's playing behind a pair of good veterans, so I feel that he still has time. This position is far better than last year, but still has room for improvement. TE: Tyler Kroft is nowhere to be found, and honestly I'd rather have Dawson Knox and Tommy Sweeney get all the playing time they can get. Knox is really coming on strong, and he has potential to be something special. Lee Smith is a good veteran player, and useful as an extra lineman, but sending him out on deep patterns is a waste of time. OL: What an improvement over last year's horror show. The run blocking has vastly improved, pass blocking has been fair, and I might be generous with that assessment. Mitch Morse, Jon Feliciano & Quinton Spain are the strength of the line. Fion Dawkins has been shaky and Cody Ford is much better as a Guard. Ty Nseke is adequate. It's clear that this unit needs more time to gel, but overall they have played good. Defense: DL: Ed Oliver has been a very good addition. I'm surprised at how much of an impact he has already made. Shaq Lawson wants a big contract and he is showing it with his play. Star Lotuleile is overpaid, but does his job. Jerry Hughes doesn't have big numbers right now, but again is doing a good job. Jordan Phillips has not missed a beat ever since he joined us and has shown his value. The season ending injury to Harrison Phillips is unfortunate, so let's see what Kyle Peko can do in his absence. Has anyone seen Trent Murphy? This unit as a whole has looked very good. LB: Tremaine Edmunds just gets better and better. You can see it in his play, Against the run and pass he is a strong player. Matt Milano is also playing good ball and he also covers the field well. Lorenzo Alexander does good as both a pass rusher and run defender. This unit has shined for us. DB: This is the strength of the defense. TreDavious Whote & Levi Wallace are a tough tandem at CB. Jordan Poyer & Micah Hyde are excellent as our Safeties. Siran Neal has done an admirable job filling in for the injured Taron Johnson , and Kevin Johnson has been very good depth for us. I love this defense/ Special Teams: K: Stephen Hauschka is doing very good. 2 missed FG's, one a desperation of over 60 yards, does not have me worried at all. P: Corey Bojorquez is adequate. We can get better. KR/PR: Andre Roberts has only played two games, but we've seen how good he is at this position. Very satisfied. Coaching: I like Sean McDermott, and I like the mentality he gives to the players. The one thing that concerns me about McDermott is that there appears to be no killer instinct. The Bills had many times to bury the Giants and they let them hang around longer than they should have. Same thing foes for the game against the Bengals. What he and Leslie Frazier have done for the defense is very impressive. It is clearly the strength of the team and one of the best in the league. Brian Daboll is an enigma. All the intermediate pass plays to john Brown and Cole Beasley is very good. Lining up Patrick DiMarco wide and sending Lee Smith deep, is confusing. I like Josh Allen running the QB sweep, but don't like the QB draw. My biggest issue with Daboll is how long it appears to take for the play call to get in. This was especially evident during yesterday's game. Several times the players looked confused as to what they were supposed to be doing. Meanwhile the play clock was approaching zero. This caused hurry up snaps or having to waste a time out. This happens too much, and I do not understand what the disconnect is. This has got to change. Overall, I like where the Bills are headed. We shall see what happens these next 4 games. Hopefully Allen will be alright to play against the Titans, and the rest of the season. It's early, but this team has all of the makings of a playoff contender. GO BILLS!!!
  5. Yep. As soon as Allen had a bad game, you just knew the pitchforks and torches would be in full force. It's the nature of this board.
  6. it will
  7. This is what frustrates me about intentional grounding and how it's called.
  8. They defended it by saying Tre deserved it because he was holding on the play. Cheaters fans are the scum of the Earth.
  9. He's definitely upset. Move on and focus on beating the Titans next week.
  10. Yes, I would love to bet on games with past outcomes.
  11. So he should be the starter?
  12. And had zero touchdowns
  13. See, Zay Jones
  14. There are also a fair amount of Bills fans who don't think Josh Allen will be a bust. That you don't just give up on a player after 1+ seasons. You take the bad with the good, you learn from it and move on and continue with development. If you're expecting instant gratification, then you will be disappointed.
  15. Regression? Yes, Allen has made mistakes, but I do not see anything to indicate that he is regressing. The more Allen plays the better. That's how I see it.
  16. I don't deny, that's why I wish he would have ran the ball whenever the pocket collapsed.
  17. You are not telling me that our O-Line was perfect in pass protection, are you?
  18. Allen had a bad game, no questioning that. I still place blame on our offensive line's pass protection. It was awful. Josh Allen had good reason to be scared today. I was yelling for Allen to just run with the ball when the protection failed. I agree with you on the play calling. Some strange stuff today. It was good to see Yeldon being used as a receiver, and he had a very good second half. But where was McKenzie today? I also noticed that we sent Lee Smith out deep a few times. Why?! Shouldn't we be using Knox for that?
  19. Look, Allen was awful. Brady was almost just as bad. Exactly! Crybaby was nothing special today, and he looked bad on the interception to Hyde. Honestly, the Cheaters offense was nothing special today. What a waste of a great performance by our defense.
  20. I have to agree with this. The INT is on Allen, but Zay Jones has to know when to be a defender.
  21. He could have gotten knocked out while he was being sacked, too. Yeah, I get what he's saying. I wish Allen could have been in on that last drive.
  22. What frustrated me the most today from Daboll was how constantly the play clock was running down and some of the players looked confused as to what the play was supposed to be. This happened far too often today. Anyone else notice this?
