He is already being pressured to start. bills fans are going to ruin another rookie QB i'm so sick of us doing that! 1

Even if it is, I’ll consider it ‘the Learning Curve’ season. I’ve seen enough of Allen already to know he’s better than any other QB we’ve had this century.

On the plus side, we're playing at home, which will be huge. We're only 3 - 9 against the Chargers since 1985, but 3 - 3 at home in that time against them. Much preferred over traveling across the country. You're forgetting we beat the Chargers last year, their QB tossed an incredible 5 picks, and our d line was ferocious and created pressures and mismatches all game. It was a bloodletting. I think you have us confused with a whole nother team.
PromoTheRobot Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 I don't know about the rest of you but Allen just looks a cut above every QB we've had here since Kelly. Guys on WGR are warning everyone that EJ had the same stat line after two preseason games, but EJ never had the skills that Allen is showing.

Homey D. Clown Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 I don't care who the QB is, the Bills historically don't play well against the Chargers. My prediction: 0-2, QB: doesn't matter.

Might as well just start the national marketing campaign now. Why wait.

I think the Bills will start out 2-0 if the Bills have Allen as their day one starter. Prediction Bills 24 Ravens 20 - CB Jimmie Smith of the Ravens is out , Game 2, Bills 27 Chargers 26 Shootout with Rivers with wild home crowd getting the Bills over the top. I also predict Allen will be rookie of the year. I actually very much think both games are winnable. Chargers D is over exaggerated here because of the atrocious play of NP. Tyrod came in and the D went back to meh, people forget that. Ravens are nothing more than a mediocre team IMO. While I expect them to be maybe a little better than last year since they added a better WR in Crabtree, they still don’t scare me and now their best defender is suspended the first 4 Games. I think both games are just flat out winnable, not just because Allen may start. Not saying they are easy wins, but I’m certainly not afraid of them. I think we will lose the Minny game for sure, as I think Minny is a top 2 or 3 team in the NFL right now, but these two can both be won. Honestly, I don’t care if we start 0-4, I love the direction of the team right now, the potential of the D, and the long term prospects of Allen. OL and WR positions are huge question marks as well as having a young unproven QB (which is true no matter which of the 3 QBs win the starting gig), so I think its hard to predict our wins and losses right now nor will I gauge the status of the team heavily on our record if we regress. But neither SD or Balt look insurmountable to me. Edited August 23, 2018 by Alphadawg7 1

BmarvB Posted August 23, 2018 Posted August 23, 2018 Giving him experience at preparing himself to start. They're developing him the right way. If all goes well, we'll have our franchise QB
