Barkley didn't have a great game, but he wasn't awful, either. There was one sequence where he threw three low but catchable balls that were all dropped by Jones, Brown and Beasley. He was coming off the bench against the best defense in the league. I think I'll wait until I see him this Sunday with a full week of preparation before I decide that he sucks. Last year he put up the Bills' best QB game of the year against a not-terrible Jets defense. I'm not sure why people think he can't do that again. He reminds me of Orton, with a slightly weaker arm.
Demonstrably false, as he proved last year against the Jets.
Wrong.
The Bills had a 17 point lead before Barkley threw a TD.
The game was over by 2 minutes remaining in the 1st Q....14-0 and never looked back at a bad Jets team. He was 4-9 passing to that point.

Here's a zoomed in screenshot.
Not only stopped in his tracks, leaned in, and pushed that left leg out, but he's also looking RIGHT at him.
*intent is 9/10 of the law
I think "possession" is what you mean....

Goodell is the problem. The game has consistently gone downhill since he’s been Commissioner.
32 owners, several networks and countless advertisers might find this statement very silly. Players, for all of their moaning about Goodell (really, they are moaning about the owners), have seen their compensation grow through the roof since he took over...so they can't complain either. In 2005, the season before he was hired, the salary cap was 85.5 million. This year, it's 188.2 million. It more than doubled the past 14 seasons in a league celebrating it's 100th season.
All fan bases always complain about calls/noncalls/reviews all the time. Yet they cannot stop watching--even the ones who constantly predict (with no apparent sense of irony) the demise of the NFL.

You're comparing a Bears stint on a tanking team and you're blaming him for the Bears defense allowing points?
I was refuting the claim that he can put point up when needed. He can't.

They haven’t released the video, but I’m guessing that Kraft’s episode involved soft contact. Very soft.
which meant she had to work harder...

Barkley was once touted as a Top 10 pick, and got knocked down for his arm strength. He was then tossed into bad situations. But there's nothing in his career that suggests that he can't be a quality backup and put up points when needed. Why is his his 4th round draft status used as a knock, when there are other guys drafted 4th and below who are doing well enough?
If we get a Derek Anderson in his prime, I'm perfectly fine with that as a back up.
The Bears needed lots of points when Barkley had a 6 game stretch as a starter. He tossed 8 TDs over that period. And 14 INTs. Fumbled 4 times. He once beat the Jets. Half of his TD passes as a Bill went to Dion Dawkins (1).
He doesn't put up points. He's demonstrably worse at protecting the ball than Allen.

That's pretty funny.

It's more about using your eyes and watching how he plays. It seems patently obvious to me that he gets through reads faster but suffers in the athleticism department.
Your eyes must be better than mine to see all that in one Q of play this year.
But is also "the eyes" that supposedly saw that the Bills gave up too soon on JP, and ruined the development of EJ, etc...
18 minutes ago, K-GunJimKelly12 said:Do people realize that Matt Barkley has had half the starts Josh Allen has had in the league? He looked pretty good in his last one. If he has to go this week, I think he will do well.
Everybody realizes this. And most realize why that is the case.

This is his 5th year in the league, with less games than Allen.
You're right. 5. Less games than Allen because he is the guy each team that hired him hoed would never have to play.
30 minutes ago, reddogblitz said:I don't know. I watched him a little when he played for Cincinatti and he was horrible. He has played way better for us than he did with them. And from the highlights of him dropping dimes on Sir Duke, I think he's improved.
Again, not saying I want him to start, but I don't buy that he can't improve on anything and is all he can ever be.
He didn't play for Cincy. Duke is on the PS. So we are now making conclusions based on how a backup QB looked in preseason with PS guys.

Not saying Matt should start, but what makes you so sure about that?
The data to this point. Six years in the league.

How is the flag not thrown real time? That’s the bigger question. It took a slow motion replay to see that there wasn’t contact. Real time you’d think that you have to throw a flag there.
Not for the ref standing there...
Look, if a DB throws a "boo!" and waves his hands as he is closing in on a WR and the WR changes his route or falls down or whatever, it's not a penalty either. If a Bills TE had done this move, everyone would be applauding his effective and legal fake out.

You mean don't do the things you did 4 times AFTER your offensive coordinator was screaming at you on the sidelines not to do?
Maybe the next time he will listen.
Maybe. But that means there is potential for improvement.
We are seeing Barkley as a finished product.

Can't call a "rub" with no contact. Just ask Kraft...

My guess is he will protect the football better.... maybe. That's the only advantage in starting Barkley. Bills will struggle to score a TD with him starting, IMO.
Over 6% of his passes are INTs! He has 8 fumbles. The ball deserves better...
Here's all they have to do to fix Josh: "Josh, never take a sack on the run. Never throw downfield on the run when avoiding a sack".
Fixed.

After how many years did the NFL give up on EJ? He was still on a roster until this offseason......
GM's aren't universally celebrated for their brains either. JP took a while to convince the dumbest GM's he wasn't fit for the league as well.

At this point in time, running the offense that Daboll has installed, I think that Barkley will put up more points.
17 minutes ago, dave mcbride said:Daboll's offense presents qbs with a lot of options (the scheme is good and aggressive), and I do think that Barkley gets through progressions a lot faster than Allen at this point.
Lots of conclusions being drawn from a body of work that includes 7 starts (2-5) and only 13 total appearances in 6 seasons on 3 teams. He has 10 career TDs against 19 INTs (6.2% of his throws!). He's fumbled the ball 8 times.
He' s completed 24 passes for the Bills. He's played one full game. In nearly a full Q yesterday, he led the Offense to 2 punts, turnover on downs, fumbled (recovered) and a game ending INT (his arm was hit after a 2 step drop as he stood like a statue staring down his receiver while Van Noy was barreling down on him.
And from this data anthill, some have determined that Barkley is "better prepared to run this offense"?

This is the absolute worst take. Manuel was too dumb?
yes.
As soon as he got to Buffalo, he famously claimed that the BIlls playbook was easier to learn than Florida State's. He had no idea what he was looking at---that carried over onto the field.
Nice guy, but JPL dumb.

I think it was stupid how early we gave up on EJ. You draft a guy in the 1st, you need to ride with him. I think Allen is a lot closer to EJ than Tom Brady at this point.
that said, a big part of EJ’s problem was he played like a robot. Allen, who I have been critical of, lays it all on the line and goes down firing. I respect that.
Everyone in the NFL gave up on EJ.
A big part of EJ's problem was that he's too dumb to play NFL QB.

None of the picks were gimmes's. Great catches. But questionable decisions by Josh.
