Allen is the Bills QB for many years to come. Is he a "finished product" just yet? Of course not. But he has already shown us that he is at least the 2nd best QB in his draft class. And lets remember that Wyoming is not exactly your ideal QB developmental school either. But he is progressing nicely. As I have said many times before, Kelly had 2 yrs in the USFL and then another 2-3 yrs in a Bills uniform before he became the QB that we all remember him as. I have no concerns about Allen's development. He wants to be the best he can be and he wants to be the Bills QB. He'll be fine. As far as "signature wins" are concerned, Allen has already had a few in my book. He's walked into Dallas and Pittsburgh just in the last few weeks alone and come out victorious. Those are not easy places to win consistently. We need to continue building this team around him.

Congrats Tre! A Well deserved honor! Hopefully though you will have to decline though as you will be preparing for a game the following weekend!

John Brown 2019 Stats: 71 receptions 1007 Yds 5TD's https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BrowJo02.htm

The Bills "Came To Play"!!

In 3 years with the Bills Tyrod had a total combined passing and rushing of 10,432 Yds and 65 TD's. He had signed a contract in 2017 paying him $15million per year. In 2 yrs with the Billls Allen has a total combined passing and rushing of 5881 Yds and 43 TD's with 3 games left to play. He is making $5.3 million per year for 2 more years. Assuming Allen throws for another 700 Yds and rushes for another 150 Yds and accounts for say another 7 Total TD's these last 3 games, that would give Allen approximately 6731 Yds and 50 TD's over his 1st 2 NFL seasons. Also during Tyrod's tenure here he had 4 comebacks and 5 Game Winning Drives during his 3 seasons here while Allen in just less than 2 seasons has already had 5 comebacks and 7 Game Winning Drives. https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/T/TaylTy00.htm https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/A/AlleJo02.htm Cost being a serious consideration clearly seems to show that the Bills are getting slightly more production out of Allen in his 1st 2 seasons at a cost savings of $10 million per year.

Wrong. Roberts is not a problem. He's made very sound decisions all year long. Just because he hasn't broken any that have gone the distance (yet, anyways) doesn't mean he should be cut. He got the majority of his money on his 2yr deal this year and is signed through next season at a very reasonable price. And he still has 3 games and playoffs to make an even greater contribution this year. https://www.spotrac.com/nfl/buffalo-bills/andre-roberts-6596/

Ok, so how bout a compromise here guys? How bout a relatively inexpensive 10" tablet? Or even a small laptop PC? You could easily mount one inside your truck. Just resist the temptation to play "Candy Crush" while driving!

I wouldn't exactly refer to them as "jumbled up stats". I posted the actual links to the Pro Football Reference page which has a wealth of more info on it for those who are interested in such things. Each to his own I guess. Some fans want more info while others want less. No harm either way as far as I am concerned. The essential thing here is that McBeane have a promising young player on their roster at a very affordable price for the next several years while the Jets seemingly overpaid and in my view could have used that money elsewhere (like their offensive line) to strengthen their team overall.

All contracts for drafted rookies are now a mandatory four years in length and no such contract—even for young players who are dramatically undervalued—can be renegotiated until after three years have passed under the contract. ... As of this writing, several teams have their entire rookie class under contract.May 14, 2019

https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/S/SingDe00.htm https://www.pro-football-reference.com/players/B/BellLe00.htm Compared to what the Jets have paid Bell, Singletary was a real bargain! Another great move by McBeane!! And to think the Bills will have him cheaply for another 3 years!

I also don't recall anyone making such a racially insensitive remark about Donovan McNabb when he was playing for the Eagles, who wore dark green jerseys either. As I recall he was a fairly decent running QB at that time too! PS. You might consider taking your own F'd up advice!

I was born in mid 1950s... Went to H.C. Technical HS (AKA: HUTCH TECH) Grad class of 1971 Went to my 1st Bills game at "Ye Old Rockpile" (AKA: War Memorial Stadium - Where they actually grilled the hot dogs back in the day!) Go Engineers and GO BILLS! Yeah - That's the right song... He's OUR Guy!

Using that rationale shouldn't EJ have had a more successful career playing with the Raiders wearing Black uniforms? Dumb thing to say!

Bah Humbug! Just tell that GF/Wifee of yours that she'll have to wait till the game is over!!

The Bills are done eating Turkey. Time for Duck!

Cutting Star is a possibility. The cap hit would not be that bad and can be spread over the next two years if that happens. Murphy has had a quietly good season. Star helped himself though with the deflection of the Dallas FG try at the end of the 1st half on Thanksgiving. Depends what happens the rest of the way and who the Bills draft early in rds 1 and 2 this offseason. I'm not expecting any big name signings in FA either. Allen and Edmonds are just in their 2nd seasons. Lorax will no doubt retire and Hughes will be gone by the time we need to extend Allen and Edmonds. Bills are in fine salary cap shape.

Watched Cleveland @Pittsburgh at 1pm. Now watching Oakland @KC. Tonight New England @Houston.

I think the Bills end up keeping Haushka unless he misses another "gimme" FG the rest of the way. There are no guaranteed better kickers out there right now. Haushka did make a longish FG against the Cowgirls after all. And Haushka is familiar with kicking in the wind conditions at New Era Field.

After this weeks Cleveland@Pittsburgh matchup both those teams play Baltimore and @Arizona. Cleveland plays the Bengals twice in addition to Baltimore and Arizona. Pittsburgh plays @Jets and home against the Bills in addition to Baltimore and Arizona. So I guess we root for Pittsburgh to beat Cleveland assuming Bills can beat Pittsburgh when we play them...

Maybe a better question is "How many other NFL teams would Brandon Beane trade Josh Allen to, for their QB straight up"?
