Warcodered Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 b-b-but what if he breaks then we'd have to put Peterman in. So we'd better keep him safe and not start him so we'll start Peterman. 1
26CornerBlitz Posted August 18, 2018 Posted August 18, 2018 KRYK: It’s time for Bills to start rookie quarterback Josh Allen CLEVELAND – It’s time. It’s time for the Buffalo Bills to promote rookie quarterback Josh Allen to starter. Even before A.J. McCarron reportedly suffered a hairline fracture of the collarbone on his throwing right side Friday night, the Bills already might have been justified in promoting Allen ahead of both fifth-year McCarron and second-year Nathan Peterman. Now, with McCarron out and Peterman having mopped up Friday night’s 19-17 defeat of the host Cleveland Browns with the scrubs, there’s no strong reason not to do it.

Dude, we made the f*cking playoffs, drafted a franchise qb, and will probably have a top 10 d unit, WTF are you smoking?? 2017 bills were not a playoff team in my opinion. Sure, by definition, semantically speaking, they played a wildcard card game but if anyone here saw a playoff calibre team in the bills last year then that only shows how long it has been since we last had one. And other than JA showing himself to be special, a big upgrade at OC and also at backup RB I'm not sure the 2018 bills are any better than 2017. Not trying to be a downer - I'm hugely exited for a couple of years from now and also for next week's preseason game - but expecting playoffs with no oline is crazy.

But seriously, the Bills have been very unlucky in that 17 drought. A lot of subpar wildcard or even division winners in those 17 years. Last year they got things going their way for once. And you know what? It could happen again this year! And the Jags game was winnable for sure. The difference between winning & losing is often very small. Why do you think the Pats cheat so much? LOL

Ya know, we took a poll on this yesterday. You are not going to have much support on this sentiment. You should go vote.? 1
Billscowboy Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 Guys I can tell you that the reason JA % was so bad last year was a direct result of not having seasoned WR. Mostly all freshman and sophomore. Our offense had new OL all across the front. He took the team on his back and made the season which should have been a disaster in to another 8 win. He loves nothing better than a challenge and will show up every Sunday. 1
26CornerBlitz Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 NFL writer John Breech breaks down whether rookie QB Josh Allen should be the lead guy in Buffalo after McCarron went down with an injury (1:20) Peterman? 2
Juice_32 Posted August 19, 2018 Posted August 19, 2018 I've been thinking long and hard about it and here is my Allen take after camp and the first 2 preseason games. When you go as as long as we have without a real QB, you know what "not the guy" looks like. To me Allen doesn't look like that. There's something different about him. He is humble but there is some kind of crazy vet like presence he exudes in the huddle and in the pocket. I know the sample is small but it's hard not to notice. The guy is a gamer and he is only going to get better. I wanted Rosen, but I'm on board the JA train. Start him McD, let's go. 3

The OL play in particular was really rough.
