Magox

The irony is that he used to be the biggest homer of the board and as soon as we got a coach who took us to the playoffs and FO that dumped the lousy attitude flashy underperforming players he went all scrooge on the Bill's.

It's just the sense I get watching him that anything can happen. He has the potential to be the most exciting QB in the league. He can make all the passes and his physical running capabilities are at an elite level and his ability to improvise are exhilarating. I have no doubt he'll still have a couple stinkers but he gives me a lot of hope.

You can guarantee all you want but it wont take away from the fact that the Rams decided to go with Cooks over Watkins for about the same money and that Watkibs was a sub 600 yard performer last year and was 4th on the team with receptions and is now set for around a 700-800 yard season and be 3rd or 4th again this year. The Bill's would have been idiots to try to sign him at at that price. A) it doesnt make sense for this team and B) he is nowhere near worth it based on his production

The real world is we are the Buffalo Bills and our situation isn't anywhere near the same. Not to mention that they are paying $17 million a year for him to be somewhere around 750 yards receiving by the end of year when he just came off a sub 600 yard season. That's the real world

It's like we are living in 2 alternative realities. You have the delusional Bills fans who believe that Sammy Watkins "Potential" is his actual worth, believing he is some sort of 90 receptions 1400 yard 12 TD per year receiver who deserves to be paid $17 million a year. Then there are the Bills fans who actually are living in the real world and see a guy who has had a lousy attitude, often-injured and has averaged 50 receptions, 700 yards receiving and 6 TD's per year throughout his career who think that you'd have to be a complete moron to believe that the Bills should have paid him elite WR money.

It's an overthrow. You can see Foster really accelerating and pulling away from the DB, hard to imagine how he could have gotten much faster than he had already been running. And man, I always knew Foster was fast but over the past few weeks I've been very impressed with Fosters game speed and acceleration. I dont think his 40 time does his game speed justice.

That's a quality point you make there.

Either Kiko Alonso runs in the low 4.8's or Allen runs in the mid 4.5's. Allen clearly is a whole lot faster than Alonso. He was pulling away from him on his runs. It's not just Allen's speed but his acceleration, it's at a phenomenal level not just for a QB but for most players.

That was his most inaccurate pass of the game.

No one said anything about that I saw and I just happened to watch it a few times and I noticed, "Holy crap! That's a flat-footed throw on a rope, super accurate"....

The more I really look at this throw the more amazed I am. The guard is being bullrushed right into Allen, he has no room to step into the throw and basically throws a flat footed throw 30 yards in the air on a rope and accurately. Only a hand full of players in this league could make that throw.

I didn't know McD/Beane lost the locker room. Anyone have a link of that?

Next year he will have 2 years on his contract left and I think he could be had for 2nd and a 3rd rounder.

I also actually believe that they will try to make a run at Julio. I am certain that Beane will do whatever he can possibly with reason do to get him elite talent at the pass catching level.

I think people are just thinking to themselves " What sort of a retard could possibly think that was a bad throw considering the circumstances?"

I didn't even realize til now. He doesn't even step into that throw...It's basically flat footed. Holy crap!

That would be surprising. I think he's been better than what most believe but he hasn't "earned" it.

I started a thread right when Allen was drafted saying that it was completely overblown the criticism regarding his lack of "accuracy". That although it's true that he does miss some easy passes and that I completely chalk that up to mechanics but he actually can be pretty damn accurate. He is an exciting QB and he is showing that he's even more athletic than we had all anticipated, I knew he was athletic but the stuff that he's doing right now is jaw dropping. He's a highlight reel waiting to happen. I feel like if the ball is in his hands anything can happen. And even though he's had 2 incredible rushing for yards performance that isn't what's going to define him. I said it in that thread, what is going to make him special will be his ability to extend plays out of the pocket and make plays down the field. If we can get some weapons who know how to make plays down the field and recognize that with Allen they need to learn to put in the extra time to make plays outside of the intended route down the field we are going to see some real fireworks. He's going to make his name throwing the ball outside of the pocket. He'll never be a top 5 pocket passer but if he can become average in the pocket and elite outside of it then that's our franchise QB.

So multiple Miami players, coaches and beat writers were showering praise of Allen. They all believed he has a very bright future. I cant remember a game after a loss that I felt as good of the future of the Bill's as this last one.

I tend to think this is right.

We can debate whether Zay should have kept running through the play or sat open in the endzone but it appears that this wasn't an inaccurate pass as much as miscommunication between the two. In retrospect maybe Allen should have lobbed it in there, the play was so wide open that no one would have made a play on the ball. Lobbing it would have given Zay time to adjust. They will learn from it.

Considering the circumstances, escaping the rush, running for his life, throwing against his shoulder 45 yards in the air. 99% Clay's fault. Not only could he have caught that he absolutely should have caught it. He didnt even have to fully extend his arms for that catch. Great play by Josh

That's exactly what I thought had happened. It was a miscommunication, Allen thought Zay was gonna slow down and he didnt. It wasn't an accuracy issue as much as a miscommunication one.

Go away

He said it because hes a leader. That's what you want from your leaders. Most reasonable thinking people understand that Clay should have made the catch, specially with the sort of escape of the pocket and throwing against his shoulder to the other side of the field. This was not Allen's fault. At all
