njbuff Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 We can only hope Allen learns from these hard lessons, otherwise, what is there to look forward to?

PIZ Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 I know this is rebuilding, but it seems like so many of these guys are not going to be a part of the future. Make some trades for some picks? Cut some guys and give some other teams practice squad guys a shot? Cut Benjamin...sign Tanner Gentry. So many other guys (OL and WR) that are not going to he here in a year that could get cut.

Coach Tuesday Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 I would’ve pulled Allen. Not because I think peterman gave them a better chance to win - peterman is he worst QB in the league. But the protection “scheme” was getting Allen pulverized and at some point you have to worry about the investment you’ve made in him long-term.

Allen took too long to release the ball. O line kinda blows and the receivers ? anyone notice Josh played like Tyrod a bit ? arrghh Edited September 30, 2018 by 3rdand12

Add in overmatched, inexperienced, and unskilled players, and I’m not surprised at the outcome.

Overprotective of his secondary who were not in position enough. Last week Bills look well prepped. this week they missed all over the place. Rodgers always has quick release from any spot and after the first run Frazier knew his knee was fine.

McCoy with so few touches and not sticking with Ivory longer. Poor game all around on offense. gotta look at the tape though ....

Buddy Hix Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 Had a great time at Lambeau, very nice stadium, fans were welcoming. As for the game, it was an embarrassment. Allen was brutal, which is where the focus is. But I also think Edmunds struggled mightily too....again.

I disagree that Allen was “ rattled beyond recovery” as I got more of a sense that he was trying to make something happen rather than his nerves getting the best of him. Pettine kicked his ass, pure and simple, imo. Your point about making a change is understandable, but there is also a benefit to having your young QB play adversity and getting reps, regardless. I’d like to share your optimism about Peterman, but I just can’t. Imo, it would have been far worse and we would truly have seen a QB get rattled beyond recovery as we’ve seen from him already. I think the only time we will see Peterman is if Allen gets hurt.

I don't agree as near the end of the game when Pettine stopped blitzing Allen had time in the pocket he looked very stable, confidant and threw with zip on a few throws. Besides, pulling a rookie QB for any reason other than he is injured could destroy that QBs confidence. Will he then be looking over his shoulder with every mistake? We fans knew this preseason was going to be a very rough year with players on the O line that needed replacing, lousy WR corps. So many predicted 4-12 and yet are bitching anyway.
NoHuddleKelly12 Posted September 30, 2018 Posted September 30, 2018 (edited) So I just read this barrel of laughs by our intrepid Pats fan who doubles as the ESPN Bills beat guy—my question is, what personnel moves could he possibly be referring to?? Our roster is what it is and I don’t know how you do anything major in the short term (unless by eventual he means next year) as it’s not like we are about to enter into a free agency signing fiesta this week. Mike Rodak ESPN Staff Writer The Bills seemed to move closer to eventual personnel changes around rookie QB Josh Allen after being shut out by the Packers, 22-0, for the first time since 2008. Allen was sacked seven times and received little help from LeSean McCoy (five carries, 24 yards) or Kelvin Benjamin (one catch, 34 yards on six targets). Allen finished 16 of 33 for 151 yards and two interceptions, including an ill-advised heave late in the first half. Buffalo gained only 145 yards, their fewest since 2006 and only the fourth time they have gained 145 or fewer yards since 1980. Edited September 30, 2018 by NoHuddleKelly12
