No. Look at all the HOF franchise quarterbacks. They all had multiple offensive coordinators. This team was on an upward trend carried by the leadership and the defense of McDermott. Daboll is doing a great job and I'd hate to lose him, but I don't think it's the death of the Josh Allen Buffalo Bills.

It's all part of the maturation process. And someday we will look back and miss these insane, yet dynamic plays. I choose to enjoy it for what it is.

Josh is it! After 24 years we are finally among the NFL annointed. Going to be a memorable decade. I am drunk. 😁

Herbert absolutely reminds me of Josh, but way ahead of where Josh was as a rookie. This kid is looking like a stud. Could be some great AFC wars over the next decade with Mahomes, Allen, and Herbert.

Bill Barnwell, another Allen hater, has finally had his come to Joshy moment as well (from ESPN): "Bills fans who expected Josh Allen to come good after struggling earlier in his career have every right to crow about what they've seen through three weeks. After taking a step forward in 2019 and improving his decision-making, he has taken an enormous stride this season. In 2018, Allen was a hindrance to the Bills' chances of winning. In 2019, he was good enough to stay out of the way. In 2020, he is driving Buffalo's success. This team would not be 3-0 without Allen playing as well as he has.... Although Allen missed a pair of open receivers for touchdowns against the Jets in Week 1 as a product of footwork issues, his accuracy is undeniably better so far in 2020. His CPOE has improved to plus-3.7%, the eighth-best mark in the league among quarterbacks. He looks more comfortable in the pocket and has done a better job of repeatedly setting himself to throw before making accurate passes. On Sunday, when pressured by the Rams in the second half, we even saw him drop down and attempt some nearly sidearm passes to get the ball out before Aaron Donald & Co. could get home, often successfully. The other big problem was that Allen wasn't an effective deep passer. In 2019, on throws traveling 16 or more yards downfield, he ranked 29th out of 32 passers in QBR (67.0), 30th in completion percentage (37.1%), 30th in yards per attempt (9.9) and 26th in passer rating (74.4). His misses cost the Bills dearly at times, and his infamous throw to fullback Patrick DiMarco became the symbol of his panic when he needed a big play. Right now, Allen is the only one laughing. Through three games, he has 14 completions on passes of 16 or more yards, more than any other quarterback. Last year, he had 36 such completions across a full 16-game schedule. He's completing 70% of his deep attempts and averaging 20.6 yards per attempt, both of which rank in the top five. He has a 99.9 QBR on deep throws, trailing only that of Wilson and Jared Goff through three weeks.... What is also true, though, is that one bad game from Allen doesn't erase or reset the progress he has shown through the first three weeks of the season. If he has a disastrous start against the Raiders on Sunday, he'll still have the Bills at 3-1 with much better passing numbers than we saw from him in 2019. What he has accomplished so far shows that he has the ability to reach what appeared to be an impossible ceiling coming out of school and that he's a lot closer to realizing that potential on a regular basis than I expected after last season. If he can be this guy week in and week out, the Bills have a credible case as one of the three or four best teams in football."

I thought the NFL was pretty stupid not to add additional league-wide bye weeks to this season. Have a league-wide two week break at midseason for make up games and another two weeks before the wildcard games kickoff.

I think we'll see some regression to the mean for both the offense and defense. Assuming this Josh Allen sticks around, given the rest of the talent on this squad, we should win a minimum of 10 games. I'd readjust our over/under to something like 10.5 wins at this point.

Yep. I was 11 as well. We had seasons from 87-95. So many great memories, but that game really stands out for me.

Watching him play now, it's pretty clear what McBeane saw in him. They looked past the numbers and saw his otherworldly natural physical gifts, will to win, superior intelligence, likeability and leadership qualities.

Cam Newton said something similar, but it was about the owner instead of the receivers.

Raiders? I see them as a 6-8 win team. We can definitely lose that game, but I'm not any more worried than I was during week 2 against the Fins.

One of the most memorable games I attended as a kid. Not sure I remember Rich Stadium ever being louder than during that 77 second stretch. All of the fans just hugging and high fiving. Great times.

I feel like we are pretty solid at the position right now. Kroft is an all-around solid player when he's healthy, and Knox is a tantalizing project who's only in his second season. I fully expect Knox to make some head turning plays as we progress through this season.

What about Mahomes and Aaron Rodgers? Is our weather that much worse?

He's been a great compliment to our big three. Gets open and has Velcro hands. Guy looks legit.

He is Favre on steroids. I can't believe how lucky we are to have this guy leading us for the next decade.

I think it's more about the need for the opponent's offense to play more aggressively when Facing a prodigious offense.

We played well for a half and then its like we hit a wall and had zero in the tank. I'm guessing a conditioning issue with the truncated training camps? Our line applied zero pressure in the second half and Goff had forever to pick apart the secondary. The d-line appears to be a serious issue.

Josh singlehandedly dragged our carcass across the finish line today. Lol.

Getting dominated now

Blatant holding on every play

WTF!!!

Feels like 1990 all over again

Lol. Tim-may! Tim-may!

I'd love to see the guy get a chance to start a playoff game. Would be a great story if he came in as a backup and led a team to a Super Bowl win. Not likely, but it would be a fitting end to the ultimate underdog story.
