His first couple years were wasted because we had a QB that couldn’t utilize the entire field. This year, our opening day QB was Nate Peterman & Clay’s clock ran out. Clay never had the opportunity to reach his fullest potential here and his body broke down before Allen could develop

True.
... and there are many posters on this board who repeatedly will be apologists for ANY QB the Bills bring in, until he too is on the scrapheap of poorly selected Bills QBs.
Josh Allen has little potential that I can see, as his accuracy is just so bad: they selected a QB with a number of attributes and measurables except the ability to complete passes.
I think Allen showed more potential then most people thought. I think Allen survives McDermott, we have been so out coached in so many games, I have little faith in his ability to develop a QB. Allen might not be the answer but McDermott certainly isn’t.

Super Bowl championship will always get him consideration. I would bet that Harbaugh has gotten blown out in less games during his career in Baltimore then McDermott has in his 2 years in Buffalo.

Allen, Dawkins, Foster, Jones & Teller are the only players on offense that should be on an NFL roster next year
-
McBean gets 2019, but should start with a warm seats. In 2 years they have bought in 0 impactful veterans and no meaningful offensive touchdowns against the Pats. There’s just been too many games where we didn’t belong on the same field as our opponents

I wish they would mix & match. Blue jersey, red pants, white socks

Did anyone catch the post game? Baker thanked Drew Stanton in his development, helping him read defenses and go through progressions. I thought it was weird that he was thanking the 3rd string guy & not Tyrod. Then i remembered how Tyrod couldn't go through progressions or read defenses, so happy we get to see Allen play instead of Tyrod

McDermott gets 2019. This regime needs to show they can bring in good veteran talent (Bolden, Vontea Davis, Phillip Gaines, Kelvin Benjamin, Trent Murphy, Star, Marshall Newhouse, Bodine, etc have all been huge busts) and show they won’t have the 3-4 games a year where we don’t belong on the same field as our opponents. I like what he is building but he might not be the guy that gets it done, ala Tony Dungy

So ***** how the refs are influencing charger games to try and get them fans. It’s impossible to watch NFL game and think they are called subjectively anymore

Didn't Nate openly hate on Buffalo in the past?

The bills should have come to the placekicker defense. Somebody on the bills should have shown some toughness and go after that idiot from the jets.
Our players need to learn the flag isn't coming, we get hit with so many ticky-tack or fathom calls that we might as well start fighting the other team and taking cheap shots. ***** them, we're not above that. It worked against Jax, what was the convo that got caught on the mic:
Ref to McDermott: "You need to control your players"
McDermott to Ref: "You need to call it both ways"
Ref walked away with his tail in between his legs and we started getting some calls. It's not the refs fault, they are just doing what their bosses tell them to do & the league doesn't respect us because our fan base will always support the team, so we will never get the benefit of a call going our way.

Lions 20 Bills 9 in the Hall of Fame
sorry to interject actual facts, sport....
Should have been more clear. How many HoF’ers since the merger? You are right. But Detroit’s success is much like the Montreal Canadians, there were only like 6 teams so of course, they won championships and had HoF’ers before newspapers were printed in color
-
The Lions are the Bills, with much less Hall of Famers & zero Super Bowl appearances

$53k for the season.
I thought the average salary for refs were $250k w/ full benefits, plus they are in a union
-
I really concerned with the level of talent this regime can bring in. They have killed it in the draft but their pro scouting must be the worse in the league. I can't think of a single valuable player McBean has brought in

There was nothing blatantly missed by the refs today.
Sometimes there are calls that can be considered the "gray area" - and unfortunately we had a bunch of those in the last couple drives of the game.
- The Milano pass interference was ticky-tacky. But he DID use his body to impede the receiver's progress, before he turned to defend the ball.
- The Phillips personal foul was ticky-tacky. But he DID forcefully throw the runner's foot to the ground, while mouthing off at the Dolphins sideline.
- On the sack, he didn't grab Allen's facemask or horse-collar him. His neck and helmet got twisted, but it really wasn't due to an illegal grab by the defender.
Holding the end zone should have been a safety was a big one and when the defender touched Allen’s helmet, by the book it’s an automatic penalty.
Refs were really bad today and I’m glad Hughes made sure he called that ref a b1tch, in a 4 point loss those calls made the difference.
It’s really not the refs fault, they are instructed how to influence the game by the league, so technically they are doing their job

Another bad look for a kneeler

no way you watch the NFL the same as pro wrestling
I don’t, but there are such things as lookalike audiences.
The difference between NFL & WWF, is football is not completely fixed, the refs are just instructed to influence the game, it is possible for a team to overcome & a game that is not going to be called in their favor.

What? So now every game of every week has to be the same as every game the previous week otherwise it means the NFL is manipulating games for Parody? Come on...you cant really believe this stuff? So its all offense one week then NFL intervenes to slow it down next week...then intervenes again the week after to raise scores, and so on and so on?
Real question...why do you watch sports then? Because no sport can be legit, its all a big lie if what you just said is true.
If the NFL carried about competitive balance, it wouldn't be a discussion.
Millions of people watch the WWF, when they know it's fixed, same with the NFL. It's still entertaining & half of the entertainment is figuring out how the refs will influence the game.
Ratings & narratives, i don't understand why this is so hard

So let me get this straight...you think that rather than it being a game where a team with a strong D played well and defended their home field, its MORE plausible and definitive even that the NFL risked its $100 Billion Dollar property to manipulate and interfere in a regular season Thursday night game with nothing significant even on the line, so it would be a low scoring game to counter what is essentially the NFLs wet dream of a game that was Rams vs Chiefs?
Hahahaha come on man, maybe you need to put a tin foil hat on your X-mas list. I mean seriously, how can you think this? First, everyone says the NFL is changing the rules to CREATE high scores. So why would they risk the credibility of the entire league to manufacture a low scoring game, especially one with one of the best stories in the NFL this year...MVP front runner, ideal NFL poster boy, future HOFer, and all around good guy Drew Brees and what was a near perfect season so far. I mean for them to do this, there has to be something to gain...and there is literally ZERO gained by any result of last nights game. Doesn't matter if tis low, high, lop sided, medium scores etc. You could EASILY make a case that its better for the NFL for Drew Brees to have shined in that game, not struggle and lose a low scoring affair.
Just being honest man, but these kinds of statement lack any kind of commonsense to them. I mean its a rather unimportant game to the NFL, its a regular season Thursday night game. This would be far fetched even if this was a playoff or Super Bowl game, but off the charts far fetched considering it was a Thursday night game with nothing at stake for the NFL. I get general corporate greed and mistrust, but there is just no logic or common sense that supports this theory about last nights game.
Have you watched an NFL game before? There’s a narrative that the league wants to push & the refs help execute that narrative. The last 2 weeks every talking head was talking about how all the rules only benefit offense and that defense was afterthought. The NFL wanted to say “Hey, defense is important too” on a prime time game and instructed the refs to make sure defenses shined. Like are you just looking at box scores?

that's why I've determined for at least 20 years not to let calls get to me
I don't watch replay reviews any more, i PVR most games and fast forward to the start of the next play
they are going to do in the booth whatever they want to do irrespective of what everyone can plainly see on the replay
a total farce
2Unless we start holding these refs accountable, by starting fights on the field (last week) or something like 2001 bottlegate, they will continue to the call the games the way they were instructed to.
-
All that matters is how the refs are instructed to call the games. This game they wanted an emphasis on defense to counteract the Rams Chiefs MNF, where they wanted the emphasis on offense.
If you think refs go out there, objectively, and try to call fair games, you are mistaken

I’d take O’Leary over Croom or Logan Thomas any day

The Guy has thrown for nearly 1500 yards 11 touchdowns (and 2 more rushing TDs) in 6 games and in 4-2 (one loss was that clown Rex's fault) against them. Something about playing Miami always bought out the best in Tyrod - he turns into Brady against them.
Or the Dolphins suck. Averaging less than 2 TDs a game, is why he's a backup

Clay told he will be released this offseason?
in The Stadium Wall Archives

Star, Trent Murphy and McCoy might give him a run for his money. Clay could still kind of block
