Where are this guys handlers? i.e. his agent?his girlfriend or his family? Even his older teammates? He is obviously impulsive and apparently enjoys getting blotto on occasion. Getting belligerent and fighting with people I can understand while drunk but it takes a special kind of physiology for someone to drink so much that instead of passing out they stay awake and continue barreling along, all the while they have lost all sense of bearing and inhibitions. I have a friend who got in this stage on a number of occasions when we were in our early 20s. It was for the most part amusing to see what he would do in this condition at a bar or at a house party but we would have to save him from fights, driving and especially wandering into other people's houses!! Chad Kelly needs a few people to protect him from himself!!

The only possibility is if Brady gets injured then the Bills might win. However with the new soft NFL rules on hitting the QB this year, that becomes an even smaller possibility. They may not light things up like in the 2007 Pats but they will crush us because we cannot score points.

What a game if you were a neutral fan. As a Bills fan it was a dagger to the heart. They found a way to lose a game that Dallas had handed to them on a plate!!

If they tinkered and it backfired why weren't adjustments made on the fly in the 2nd Q? I know the offense put the D in a bad position on multiple occasions but the D looked really bad on plays that led to scores. There were a few 3rd down conversions and plays that just killed the Bills and McD and co had no answers. Bad coaching to tinker with what worked and even worse coaching to not adjust out of it!

He looked pretty good yesterday. Shoulder looked fine and most importantly his decision making looks much better. We should have made a move when the Colts were doubting him after the injury. I think he could have been swindled off them!

No way would we have picked up Cooper, he's not from Carolina, he's not crap or washed up and never made the "All world Jesus" team.

in the 16-0 Pats season, Bellichick would leave Brady and a lot of starters in games right until the end. He would also have them score TDs instead of FGS and go for 2. He did this against us in that night game at the Ralph where they destroyed us. It always annoyed me that the Pats tempted fate so much by doing that throughout that season but were never punished by bad luck and having a player injured for nothing or were ever the victims of some embarrassed opposing player trying to get even with a dirty hit. Leaving your starters in like last night for the Broncos is a little different but equally as risky. If any of their players blew out knee or broke a leg the coach would have been gone by this morning.

That's where the Illogic part comes in. I have no problem with Allen being picked or trading up to get him. I do have a problem with no vet mentor QB to teach him being on staff in the summer. AJ McCarron was never going to be that mentor. If you were going to start him and that was your plan ready or not then they should have protected him with at least some competent O line or given him some weapons to relieve the immense pressure on his shoulders. They failed to do that which makes no sense.

Everything Beane and McD have done with the QBs in the past 2 years looks a lot like 2 guys who have an illogical plan, a bad plan or no plan at all.

Then SuperSub Nate comes in! Now if Nate gets hurt tackling one of the defenders on an interception that is when the fun really will begin!! Daboll will come out of the booth and finally show us how his offense is executed properly

Why haven't they traded for another QB just in case? Is there any Qbs on the practice squad? You are severely tempting fate with a 35 year old and this terrible O line. Anderson might get killed on Sunday and well "golly" who is the backup??

Singing Los Angeles SUPERCHARGERS just doesn't work. Chargers not viable in LA?? And just to make it more stupid they have built a 2.6BILLION stadium!!

I will swim naked in the shark tank of Ripleys!! Oh wait its been done!

He was pretty good for the Jets in the preseason if you can really reach a conclusion from the stats. Some Jets fans were not happy with the trade. As for your observation about the Jets trading him to the Bills or not doing so. You would think that might be the case that they wouldn't trade to a division rival but I would like to know if the Bills even inquired (which they should have). How in the hell did the Saints get him? Were the Jets shopping him around? Why wasn't Beane at least on the phone scrambling around trying to get another viable QB option? They had already seen Bridgewater perform better than McCarron in the preseason. Perhaps Beane should have been signing Bridgewater in March to try out right after they traded TT? I just don't understand the logic of going into the season with 2 unproven QBs when there were so many other options available that could be had on the cheap! Total mismanagement!

The Jets traded Bridgewater on Aug 29th to the Saints who really didn't need a QB. But the Saints were smart enough to have a bargain and competent plan B. The Bills on the other hand signed a completely unproven QB in McCarron who disappointed in the preseason and was injured. Then traded McCarron on September 1st when they had an epiphany that McCarron sucked. Bizarrely they went into the season with 2 QBS who were completely unproven and the predictable results happened. They had to know that McCarron was a bust by at least the last week of August and a good GM should have begun a desperate search at point to secure a competent QB as a starter or backup or mentor to Allen. They could have had Bridgewater for a 3rd round pick but they completely bungled any attempt to rescue themselves from this salvageable situation and went steaming full speed into the season with 2 qbs. 6 weeks later the Bills find themselves in a dire situation of their own making.

Yes the lack of talent is huge on this team but that should be clearly obvious to all concerned. The coaches game plan should be adjusted to who is on the field and not vice versa. In the Minni game the offense executed things really well but all the other games it looked like Daboll tried things which were too complicated for Allen and Peterman to orchestrate. Unfortunately like so many NFL coaches Daboll is a little slow to change or simply wont adjust the game plan if things are failing. Its like these coaches are playing an old school electric football game from the 70s. Just point the players in the right direction and hope for the best.

That was an astounding stat. 11.7% completion!!!

Here are the "epic" hilites !!!! http://www.nfl.com/videos/nfl-game-highlights/09000d5d81357980/NFL-GameDay-Browns-vs-Bills-highlights Wow that punt muff from Parrish was incredibly dumb. I loved going down memory lane and seeing Jauron's corpselike visage and his 1000 yard stare.

I agree, let him sit and dare I say learn (if that is possible) from Anderson. Or perhaps he can learn how NOT to play from watching the inevitable upcoming starts of Nate Peterman. One other benefit of sitting with this horrendous turnstile offensive line is that at least Allen reduces his chances of a devastating injury. Finally I did observe Allen looking kind of angry when he was on the sideline after his injury. Almost like it was killing him that Peterman was in and he was not in charge of the offense. That to me is a good sign. We need that kind of hard lesson to motivate Allen for when he does come back. He has to be better!

Peter King is right the whole Peterman vs TT debacle last year was lunacy. Peterman simply wasn't ready to play esp not vs the Chargers last year. The fact that Peterman "won" the QB competition vs Allen based on useless preseason performance is lunacy. The fact that they did not have a veteran mentor for Allen is lunacy. The fact that they even trusted Peterman to be a backup to Allen or anyone is lunacy. The fact that they thought they would be fine with THIS Horrible oline , a raw rookie QB backed up by a QB who performed that horribly is lunacy. I just cannot understand how Beane and McD can even try to justify this mismanagement. At the very least they have to man up and admit they have completely sh*t the bed on this entire QB file. I just wonder how Pegula feels as he watches this slow moving train wreck???

The easy answer is that the preseason has become entirely irrelevant as a means of evaluating talent. Teams are now benching their starters for whole games or not even dressing them at all. Peterman does great when he is picking apart rookie defenses or practice squad defenses. Not so much vs savvy vets in real games.

If he played for the Panthers he would already be here and starting Sunday.

Having been a Bills fan for this long I should not be surprised about this absurd situation the organization finds itself in but yet when they brought in these guys last year I really thought they had a turned a corner. Finally a competent coach and a solid GM who will wisely guide this team for the next decade. Then came the Chargers game last year. I had serious doubts after that about Beane and McD's ability to evaluate talent and their lack of a plan B and even their sanity. The only thing that slightly evened out my doubts was breaking the drought and getting into the playoffs. Everything that has happened this year just gets me right back to the way I felt after the Chargers game. I have lost all faith in Beane and McD to actually figure anything out going forward. They bungled the McCarron situation, they still have Peterman on the team (for no sane reason). They completely failed to provide a mentor to Allen. They are playing Allen with a terrible O Line (which was likely to get him hurt and surprise, it did), they have given him no weapons to help on offense. Then they bring in an old journeyman QB Anderson to do what exactly? Play? not play? Mentor Allen? and their excuse for Peterman still being on the team after his horrendous career here? Well Nate knows the offense, Nate's a good Christian boy? Seriously??? That is it?? A situation that is so unbelievably preposterous that could only happen here (or perhaps in Cleveland). Just shaking my head.

Who said that?? where was that reported? If Daboll allowed Peterman to change the play he should be fired. If he didn't understand that Peterman could not (and should never) throw that pass and still called that play (he should be fired) . If Peterman went rogue and changed the playcall which I find highly unlikely , he should be cut ASAP. Actually Peterman needs to be cut no matter who called that play.

"How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt. No doubt in my mind."
