The Silver Lining : Josh Allen is very good.

[Tatonka68]

Popular thinking is that it is "a tough spot" for Allen to start. These people want a seven pro-bowlers playing on offense against St Marys home for the blind for him to start. What game is really easy for Allen to start?? 

[Prickly Pete]

It's obvious that the team gets a big lift when he is out there. That is a big deal.

The whole team will play better, more inspired football with Allen.

 

It's a no !@#$ing brainer, and has been for the last 6 weeks.

Also, lucky he has broad shoulders which will help absorb the big hits he’s going to take as the pocket breaks down every single play. 

 

I pray he doesn’t get concussed, but I feel like it’s gonna be only a matter of time.

Way to be optimistic!

WAY too early to make that declaration.

 

Agree but he is infinitely better than Peterman. It is a week too late for that declaration.

Ya I thought Daboll was awful today.  Not that it mattered as peterman was beyond putrid today but hoping to see more creativity from Daboll going forward.

McDermott and his Coordinators are unimpressive working with with this roster... The GM and Coaches will take a fan beating if today’s performance is repeated... Frazier used to coach defense with Baltimore, and he still couldn’t prepare his group to stop them... If this is a rebuilding year, Beane needs to make a few trades... Shop Shady, Clay, and any other aging player who still has value...

Still a little slow with his eyes but we can cover for that if we can get WR’s who get open and an OL that can block.

 

We have neither. We need to invest heavy to maximize his potential.

[QuoteTheRaven83]

Considering he didnt get first team reps in practice this week, I thought he did pretty good. He's still holding on to the ball WAY too long and he had some great throws, especially the one to Benjamin. Peterman, McCoy, and Benjamin are gone after this year, that's for SURE.

[CEN-CAL17]

Need to build an Oline around him.

 

Priority #1!!!!!

[Steptide]

I dunno, they names Peterman the starter this year. It makes me really question their talent for evaluating qbs

I know that people are looking for a pick me up, but he didn't do anything special. He didn't show anything in garbage time that would justify this post. He made a couple of good rushes, but it made no change. I hope he starts going forward, but lets not get ahead of ourselves. This team is going to suck. 

Neither did peter peterman, if Allen isn't gwtting killed leave him out there.

i would say i saw signs of encouragement. there were some nice runs, nice throws, and he stood in there against some big hits. i liked the way he handled himself. i think it is really on the coaches to put some polish on this kid. he seems like he wants to win, he truly wants to be great. scheme it up, coach him up, and rip it up!

 

His biggest mistake as I saw it was keeping it on the RPO to McCoy. Could have been an easy score. He will learn.

The Silver Lining : Josh Allen is very good.   He has great command of the field and incredible arm talent.  We unnecessarily lost a weeks time developing him, but by seasons end, Bills fans will know they have a top 10 QB. 

 

Decent fan-fiction usually has to be based on some sort of reality to get off the ground. Wish you the best on your fantasy story though.

The game plan will be much different next week.  Open up the playbook, Daboll!

ummm, I think we saw his playbook.........

[Ray Finkel]

The OC needs to use 4 receivers and spread them wide like Chan did with a weak offensive line.

I think the consensus of nearly everyone who posts here is that your Peterman fetish is some sort of lunacy.

I think it was Tasker that touched on the subject, Allen has shown an ability to protect himself and he has for the most part IMO.

 

I love the way the kid works the pocket...

Tyler Eifert-TE

Ali Marpet-LG 

Daryl Williams-RT

 

1. DK Metcalf-WR Ole Miss 6’3 225

2. Dalton Risner-C Kansas St 6’4 308

3. Parris Campbell-WR Ohio St 6’0 208

 

We can’t go into next season without protecting our QB and giving him weapons

Which play was that? The end of game heave with 2-3 guys around Foster?

 

No.

Why are Bills fans so eager to throw this kid to the wolves (way before he's ready) and ruin his confidence? I get that Peterman sucks and you don't want to watch him anymore, but there has to be a bigger picture element to Allen's development, no?   

 

I don’t think poor play would ruin his confidence, I think poor coaching and lack of support would. If he has the talent let him take his lumps this season. He’s more mobile than Peterman and the threat of his arm should open up the running game somewhat. Spell him with Peterman for a series or two if you have to in order to let him collect his thoughts and to coach him up in game if he’s having a rough stretch, but the season would be completely wasted by continuing to start Peterman... and I personally don’t want to see him start another game for the Bills ever again.

Me supporting Peterman is the default because of the dumpster fire that is Josh Allen. If we had Rosen, Mayfield, Darnold or even Rudolph you could kick Peterman to the curb and I wouldn't say a thing about it. I watched a team gamble the farm on Ricky Vaughn and he's going to set this team back 5 years. We went from being close to contending to running an Al Davis strategy, and this staff and our team is going to pay for it.
