It looked like Dawkins chose the wrong guy to block as Ducasse was blocking air. O lines fault. 

 

The announcer is full of crap as Allen had no time to make any throw

That's just patently false.

 

But if you want to tell yourself that, go ahead.

Peterman ran up the tunnel bruce/Kaitlyn Jenner like....maybe he has to look at some film quick and line up in the second half?

If I am the Pegula's............. I'm fuming.

 

Outscored 75-6 in the first 6 quarters and not even looking that competitive.

 

Guys they have given up 10 TD's in 6 quarters. 

 

Let that sink in.

 

I agree. The Pegulas must be really upset.  I always had the theory that Whaley threw Rex under the bus and the Pegulas mistakenly listened to him.

Crazy talk here but I wonder if Rex had a "process".  I mean he put some pretty competitive teams out there.  Maybe he really just needed another year to get the secondary together.  At least I could see his teams turning a corner.  No way in hell this dumpster fire we have out there on the field is doing anything this year or next I would imagine.  To many holes and I don't believe in the coaching at all.

 

Rex should have been given more time.  He also should not have been thrown under the bus at the beginning of his only second season and then during that season.

 

The historic franchise losses under McCoach are embarrassing the Bills, and I cannot imagine that the Pegulas are happy with these pathetic performances.  

 

To make matters worse, McBeane have made it very difficult for the young QB whom we drafted and in whom we have invested so much.  How can we even evaluate the poor kid's performance given what we have seen?!?

Allen is playing okay, but is missing a lot of opportunities as well.  That is to be expected.  Progress will be measured by how well over the season he sees the field faster and understands where his hot reads are and begins to hit the receivers the announcers are illustrating.  Game experience is key.

Looks better than Peterman looked in any game.

That's not saying much, but it is correct.

Glad to sit in the brutal heat for this gem.  The stadium is just listless right now.  We can't be this bad.  Can we?

 

Could be worse.

the thing that worries me the most is that we're the 7th oldest team in the NFL. it would be different if we were super young like cleveland.

I thought Woods would come up with that Holmes non-catch. Also if Zay had any Randall Cobb in him and could catch the ball first time around and look for the end zone.. that's another TD. He doesn't look good. But he's making a handful of "I can live with that throws" coupled by missed 5 yard passes.

What a pathetic bar you’ve set.

He's also surpassed Tyrod's last game passing as a Bill.

 

So there's that.

These are not the right guys to trust with a rebuild 

Don't worry, they defer to the big man in the sky for all major decisions anyway.

We're in God's hands now.

Beuerein is really taking it Allen with all of shoulda coulda woulda BS.  Easy to see the perfect play from the announcers booth.  Allen is a ROOKIE, Steve, and he's learning on the fly behind an abysmal Oline.  Sheesh.  8 of 14 with no picks and 125ish yards is not as awful Steve B is calling it.

Did they pass on Lynn, or did he say thanks but no thanks?  

 

 

I was thinking the same... weren’t the rumors that he was the favorite a week before they signed mcd

[Codyny13]

This is epically bad, our first round picks are not ready. Only thing we can hope for is these kids developing through the fire.

Did you expect something different?  Rookie making his first start, no offensive line, no weapons, and a defense that can't stop a nosebleed.  Not sure what you would expect going into the game.  There is going to be a ton of these this season.  I'm honestly not sure when, or if, we will win a game.

[WMDman]

I thought Allen has looked okay for his first start....

Which aspect of his talent are you seeing?

 

He has huge accuracy issues and has left throws/yardage all over the field so far today.

 

 

I havent seen the accuracy issues minus a throw or two where he needs more touch.

 

I guess the fact he seems calm behind a terrible line is what I see. He is not dropping back and firing poor passes into the dirt. He is taking sacks rather than forcing something( probably should throw the ball away though)

 

Also maybe when you get compared to peterman you look like you have talent lol

[Maine-iac]

I mean in all honesty, and some really rose colored glasses, if the defense didn't completely suck this might be a ball game.  If they actually stopped the Chargers and gave Allen the ball a few more times this might be a 14 - 9 game or something manageable.  Something that doesn't make you fell ill.  The offense so far I can live with the growing pains.  The defense is unforgivable though.
