Including last night. ? But seriously, how is Mills still employed? He looked like that the entire game against San Diego last year. I thought he did it on purpose because of Tyrod, but now I see he is just complete garbage.

Because everyone on defense knows where Peterman is going with the football. With Allen, as a DB you have to respect every route, the moment you jump a route he is going to make you pay. Look at the TD in the Carolina game. Little pump fake, corner jumps, ball goes behind him for the TD. Yea Dabol might be one of the biggest offseason hires in the history of the franchise.

O' Leary is a gamer. Period. He won't wow you in practice. He's not going to be on any Youtube videos for high jumps and things like that. But you can bet your ass he's going to make that clutch catch on third and medium.

Aside from the QB battle going on, which is now 1 man down. I think the question the staff has to ask themselves is, will Allen represent an improvement at the QB position over last year? If the answer is yes, then you start him. I've seen posts that say he should be third string while he develops. Guess what, third stringers don't get reps, they get clipboards. I've seen posts that say Peterman should start while Josh is 2nd string and develops. Guess what, backups don't even get a third of the reps in practice during the regular season. Peterman's arm hasn't gotten any stronger, his pocket presence hasn't improved. Dabol obviously recognizes these shortcomings, his play calling has consisted mainly of quick throws and 3 step drops. Peterman's another Fitzpatrick at best.

Jalen Ramsey also thinks Colin Kapernick is a top 10 QB... it's called being a racist. He hates white QBs and gives black QBs respect.

He needs a lot of work on his footwork. His throwing motion is all upper body.

Accuracy is not equal to completion percentage. Amazing that it even has to be said after watching Tyrod for 3 years. He deliberately placed that touchdown pass. It wasn't a mistake. He pump faked to pull the corner and threw a laser. But he saw Prohel as well, or at the very least, his coaches already had said hey, you had Prohel for an easy one over the middle. His completion percentage isn't high because he is taking shots. How many passes traveled less than 12-15 yards downfield? Not that many. Maybe none. That's the part of him that McDermott and Dabol probably want to tame ever so slightly. It's situational football. If it's 3rd and 3 we are going to need him to take the 5 yard out if it's open. There comes a time in every game when you need that big play and what's exciting to I think most fans, is that he looks more than capable of delivering. Something we haven't seen since Kelly.

He gives you goosebumps sometimes, with the way that ball leaves his hand. That TD I mean he absolutely rifled that ball. Crazy. I'd love to see him with a clean pocket. People are really overlooking his pocket presence. He's got guys tipping the ball out of his hand, guys all over his feet, in his face. Still making plays downfield.

Why do people talk about Allen's accuracy still? He looked on the money for the most part. Foster screwed him a couple times, not finishing routes. Prohel and Ray Ray dropped a pass. And he was under a lot more pressure than Peterman or McCarron. Once he gets some protection and gets comfortable with checking the ball down once in awhile, his completion percentage will go up. Because that's what we're actually talking about, his completion percentage. His in game ball placement is just fine.

I dunno but Peterman would throw him the ball if he was quadruple covered. Probably what he's looking for.

I feel like you are overly emotional. I'm not hating on the guy at all, he obviously played great. I'm just not ready to anoint him football Jesus in a league with guys like Brady, Rodgers, Rothelisberger, etc.

Well too be fair, Foster was playing the 3s, I'd hope he'd be able to blow by a 4th string DB. I don't think he has the same luck if he plays the first half.

4 games, 7 games. Still wasn't a whole season with defenses game planning against him. I've seen his story one too many times to immediately jump to conclusions. Great example. Now he's battling for a backup spot after being out of football for a year.

Watson is elite already?? Dude has played 4 games. Remember that time we drafted a guy that was on Sports Science with the quickest release ever? Endorsed by Hall of Fame coaches? He had a couple good games in his trash heap of a career. Watson could be elite but you and everyone else need to pump the brakes just a little. I'll be more convinced when he plays a full season.

I don't think we're thinking of the same play. EDIT: It was Foster I was thinking of, but it wasn't a drop, he was wide open, looked like he didn't know which route to run and was kind of just jogging as the ball went to the sideline. I guess you might be able to put it on Allen but judging from Foster's performance, I'd say Josh knew the play and Foster didn't. So Prohel drop, Mc Cloud drop, and Foster being terrible all over the field.

Coleman is that guy. Probably why we traded for him.

You're right, it was Foster again. Is he cut yet?

If you count the two drops (Reily and Mc Cloud) and the two massive screw ups by Foster (1 ball through his hands, stopped running the route on the second deep ball) he'd have been 13 - 19 with 3 TDs. Just like in Wyoming, his teammates really let him down last night. He needs time with 2s at least.

I have to guess that beat reporters have no idea what they're talking about considering they aren't scouts, position coaches, etc. Pretty much just paid forum post writers.

Says is too early to judge... judges anyways. ?

You must be new 'round these parts... ?

I just came here to pour some out for Lorax's ankles.

This is Buffalo fans. We could win the damn Super Bowl and 80% of the hot takes here would be that it was a fluke and we're tanking.

I have no idea how Rosen is doing. But I do know that Allen looks lethal from the pocket. Hopefully the line can give him time.

Exactly.
