MarkAF43 Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Just now, The Final Word said: No, Allen is a project. They wanted Allen all along. He was rated number one on their draft chart forever. He has the intangibles that you cannot coach. Size, speed, and a cannon for an arm. He works hard and listens well. He will play later in the year. McDermott won’t lose the locker room before the season starts. We will be better this year than last year but won’t make the playoffs. We have an exciting future. If you have paid attention to the data points, bean and McDermott and have said over and over again, Allen won’t be rushed. Our line is not ready for him to start. I hope. That helps you Data points=connect the dots don, still as pathetic as ever. Just now, The Final Word said: Please don’t discount AJ. If AJ is healthy, he starts hands down Oh wait. You said the plan all along was to start Peterman.... 1

The Final Word Posted August 26, 2018 Author Posted August 26, 2018 We have some big decisions to make prior to our first game. We know peterman starts but the te position is up for grabs. I know people are down on clay and rightly so but he will be starting. Teller is a rookie and not ready for prime time. Look for Troy going to guard to replace miller. Davis has not played well either. I know McDermott doesn’t like him but frasier does. Will be interesting to see who wills that one. McDermott also down on Murphy
jrober38 Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Peterman has been great all preseason. He's in control of the offense, knows to take what the defense gives him to keep the down and distance manageable, he's accurate, and the ball comes out on time. His arm is obviously lacking when he throws outside the hash marks, but if we can game plan to attack the middle of the field off play action he can have success. Allen showed today he's not ready. The Bengals dialed up some pressure and he couldn't handle it. He didn't anticipate pressure, he patted the ball and took sacks when he could have harmlessly dumped it incomplete and put the offense in unmanageable 3rd and long situations. He needs to learn a lot about how to take what the defense gives him and avoid sacks at all costs because they're such drive killers.

You are correct in your conclusion but the brain trust at one bills drive already knew that as well. Thank you for your well thought out commentary
gobills1212 Posted August 26, 2018 Posted August 26, 2018 Ironically, although he knew before he waited until after to drop this on us. Can you tell us yesterdays future tomorrow?? 33 minutes ago, The Final Word said: Not true. Peterman was going to start game one period. They just wanted to give Allen an opportunity to see what a starting week looks and feels like in the preseason. McDermott has a plan and he deserves the benefit of the doubt. Since we were playing on Sunday, he didn’t want to give th e ravens anymore time to prepare for peterman. Very smart Coach McD here... Please get out of my head. I cant have you on here exposing all my secrets. They are mine, and they come from my head. Please stop reading my mind!!! -Coach McD 1
Over 29 years of fanhood Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 If Peterman is the best choice, 1-15

You can’t throw the ball away when you’re still in the pocket and your center is pushed into your face. That being said maybe if some of his early passes would have been caught maybe he wouldn’t have melted down. Peterman probably wouldn’t have faired much better, defenders are going to sit on his receivers, take his short game away. if the line doesn’t get straightened out, there is serious trouble ahead...

BigDingus Posted August 27, 2018 Posted August 27, 2018 If fans are still so delusional to think that Allen is ready to start after what we've seen with our O-line this preseason, they deserve the massive letdowns to come this season. I can easily see dozens of threads each week of fans whining about firing the HC or OC, or retroactively getting pissy about us not replacing our losses on the O-line, even though all off season they begged for Allen to start & made excuses as to why we'll repeat going to the playoffs.

Hes not. I’ve got news for you, Peterman is worse. He panics under duress. If he started tonight it would’ve been San Diego 2.0. trading Tyrod was dumb. Thid is going to be a a tough season unless the brass gets a decent guy in here.

The Final Word Posted August 27, 2018 Author Posted August 27, 2018 After a good night sleep, hopefully we have all regrouped and are able to look at the situation more rationally today. We are still not a very good football team yet. Our brain trust is truly one of the best in the league and they have a plan for the future. Making the playoffs was awesome but unfortunately for most on this board it has set an unrealistic but predictable expectations for the fan base. We all need to be patience. We are not going to the playoffs this year but we begin making progress of becoming a perennial playoff team. Our plan is simple, let Josh sit for five or six games which will get us past the rough part of the schedule. We will probably be 1-5 and then we will begin to salt josh into the line-up. This will give peterman some playing time, we see him as a frank Reich type player, you need a solid back- up and then Josh will take the wheel and this is the final word faithfully reporting the truth with perspective
