Ahh I see. I honestly don’t remember that. Thanks for the insight.

While right now I would rather Allen over Rosen, it’s still wayyyy to early to judge these young QBs. Everyone was saying Wentz over Goff for 2 years. Not so much anymore. This is not to bash Allen at all. I like him and Im happy he’s the Bills QB. Just saying it’s way too early to be comparing one another.

It’s too bad cause it was actually a good, intense game. Walt decided he wanted to be the star of the show

Fair points and I get what you’re saying. Logically I still think the rule is ridiculous though. Just my opinion.

Or you could just add a simple rule to it as well. If it goes out of bounds in the end zone, the offence keeps the ball and it should result in a loss of down and the ball gets moved back to the 5 or 10 yard line. Either way, the rule they have now is just dumb and they need to change it in someway.

It really doesn’t make sense though. If you fumble out on the half yard line, you get to keep the ball and have a fantastic chance to score a TD again. But if you fumble into the end zone, the other team gets possession and they get to start at the 20. How does that make sense lol

Typical Walt Coleman game. Just completely kills the flow of the game

100 percent agree. Fantastic player

Playing scared

So predictable. Run run. Play to win the game!!

Defensive picks/Signings have been brilliant by Mcd and Beane for the most part. Offence hasn’t so much though. Main moves: Allen- Way too early Zay- Terrible first 20 games but looks much improved Dawkins- Looks pretty good Trading a 3rd for Benjamin- Awful Signing boldin- Awful Peterman and naming him opening day starter- Absolute disaster Trading for Coleman- Didn’t work Bodine: Meh Teller- Way too early to tell although I like his potential Foster and Mccloud- Basically non factors except for foster against the Jets Defense has been great, offence is obviously very bad this year with a lot of poor personnel decisions to show. Beane and Mcd still got a lot of work to do to try and evolve to a modern 2018/2019 nfl offence. Defence? Hard to argue that they don’t know what they are doing on that side of the ball as it’s impressive to watch.

It really depends IMO. I don’t need to see them win 13-10 against lousy teams. But if Allen progresses and the offence looks promising, then that would be very encouraging going into next season

Fair enough sir. The way I see it: If a QB, whether he is in his 1st, 3rd, or even 5th year can't handle adversity, and if he's not mentally tough to get over that adversity, then he isn't cut out for the NFL. I am not a believer in QBs getting ruined. Like would David Carr or Alex Smith be All Pros if they sat for a couple years behind Brett Favre? The guy either has what it takes and is mentally tough, or he isn't. Just the way I see it. All good though! Some people would agree with me, and some would agree with you.

Fair points and thanks for your reply. I don’t see it the same as you personally though. I’m not saying there aren’t instances where sitting behind someone can’t be beneficial. But do you honestly think A Rod, Brees or Brady wouldn’t have as much success if they were thrown in their rookie year? I certainly don’t and I don’t think it has any factor at all. In my opinion

I disagree. Mahomes is a very special case. He sat behind one of the biggest class acts in the NFL in Alex Smith who apparently taught him everything as they went on, and learned from Andy Reid and Matt Nagy. 2 brilliant offensive coaches and 1 very smart veteran QB. Allen does not have that luxury needless to say, nor do most rookie QBs when they come in the league. Getting the player reps and letting them read the defences and learning from the mistakes is by far the best way to learn IMO.

What’s the point of wasting one or two games? They are not making the playoffs and running the table with a guy who couldn’t even beat out Jeff Driskoll for the backup job in cinci.

So in other words just waste more time for Josh Allen’s development? Just out of curiosity please answer the question.

Let me ask you something. The Bills are 3-7. So what are the odds the Bills make the playoffs starting Barkley the last 6 games? And what are the odds the Bills make the playoffs if they start Allen the final 6 games? In your personal opinion.

I get your point sir. But think about it. They are 3-7. There is probably a 99 percent chance they don’t make the playoffs. So you got to ask yourself. Is there really that big difference between Barkley and Allen at this time? Probably not much if any. So go with the young potential franchise QB. If Allen wins games and they somehow make the playoffs? Fantastic. If he doesn’t play well and they miss out? Extremely good chance they would miss the playoffs with Barkley as well so might as well get Allen the experience and let him learn

A quitters mentality? When did I ever say throw in the towel? Try to win every single game with Josh Allen. Not Barkley. The reality is they are 3-7 and the odds of making the playoffs are basically slim to none. So it would be very foolish to start a career journeyman over your potential franchise QB to have a prayers chance of getting into the playoffs. Sean McDermott realized that as well. You’re one of the few who hasn’t I guess. Try to win every single game, yes. But don’t be stupid and just waste 6 games on a journeyman, where you can get Allen more experience going into 2019.

No problem sir!

Huh? The poster was stating to start Barkley... If Allen starts all games and the Bills make the playoffs I would be ecstatic

Is there really any point possibly sneaking in (and by possibly I mean very unlikely) at 8-8 and then getting crushed in the first round by the Steelers or patriots? I would much rather play Allen and let him develop, and then head into 2019 with a more experienced Allen. And better draft picks at the same time.

Lol at first when I first read it, I thought it was Derek Carr that said that. I was thinking this guy has some nerve to criticize a QB getting overpaid lol

Jameis might be your best bet. He turns it over like crazy of course, but should throw for lots of yards and a few TDS against San fran
