  1. ....And did not play for a Power 5 team with a high powered passing attack, like Oklahoma or Texas Tech. He lacks experience, is raw but improving, and is learning at the NFL what some of these guys experienced in college. Let's give the player some patience, he has a lot of positive characteristics.
  2. If we go 4-3 the rest of the way we are almost 100% in, if we only go 3-4 it becomes 50-50 per NYT playoff tracker. We need to beat Mia, Den, NYJ and win 1 of the 4 tough games.
  3. Basically, as I understand it using NYT, we go 4-3 and we're in, go 3-4 and its 50-50.
  4. Scott Law, I mean Jerry Sullivan, fixed it for you.
  5. You give people one short leash, make an error and they're outside the circle of trust Mr. Deniro.
  6. 1 INT in the last 5 games when he was criticized for playing "hero" ball is a big improvement. He just needs to find the balance.
  7. Well Dalton is an old has been or never was, Kyle Allen is was an undrafted FA for a reason and his career sample size is crazy small, Daniel Jones is a small sample size as well and was widely believed to have been over drafted, Kyler Murray you can make an argument for. Bottom line is Josh was the number 7 pick in the draft and some thought would go higher. He has only 20 games under his belt, and has all the tools to become great. He was very raw compared to all the others who had more college experience at a higher level. He's basically doing the training they did in college in the NFL, and his pedigree is better than anyone except Kyler. In short he's a bigger, more intelligent, more athletic package.
  8. I'd be happy if we spread it out, only used Knox and occasionally Croft, No SMITH. And, let Josh be himself, give the ball to Singletary and aim for a 50/50 Run/Pass breakdown. We will run better and throw better if they do that. AND SCORE MORE POINTS.
  9. This is Nonsense and you know it.
  10. I think this is great! They've realized that he was bypassing open receivers because of the emphasis on avoiding interceptions. It's a constant back and forth with a young, raw QB.
  11. So you'd trade Josh Allen even up for Andy Dalton, Kyle Allen, Daniel Jones and Kyler Murray? I can't see an argument even being made about the first three, that's just silly.
  12. So are you trading Josh Allen even up for any of the highlighted players?
  13. Honest question, would you trade Josh Allen for Mason Rudolph straight up?
  14. And Hollywood Brown is the team leader with 4 rec/gm for 65 yds/gm (he was out 3 games). He and Andrews lead the team with 4 and 5 TDs. I would kill to have those 2 on the Bills.
  15. Disagree those guys you named are rising players.
  16. We have one of the worst group of skill players in the league. We have a young, raw QB and McBeane has done him no favors with the environment they've created for a QB here. Does anybody really believe Lamar Jackson would be doing as well here? I sure as hell don't.
  17. 10 to the left for me. I believe the Bills haven't done nearly enough to help him out. I get so jealous watching the skill guys on other teams. We have to have one of the weakest groups in the league. Most of these highly drafted QBs have the physical and mental capabilities to do the job with the right situation. I question right now whether this is the right situation. I'm not sure Lamar Jackson is where is he now in this environment McBeane has created. Hopefully, they see the errors of their ways and rectify the situation.
  18. Agreed. I think most if not all of these highly drafted QBs can do the job. What separates those who succeed and those who don't has much to do with the situation they're thrust into. Baltimore deserves credit for using Lamar in areas that maximize his strengths. I just don't see that creative side or moreso the ability to adapt by this staff. It's starting to become worrisome to me that the attitude is this is how we do things around here.
  19. The biggest thing he needs is experience and good coaching. He has the makeup to make changes and improve. And, quite frankly for a raw, young player he's pretty good.
  20. Unlike some who simply want Allen to cover up for everything by being Patrick Mahomes, I have a different view . We are better when we spread the field with McKenzie and open up running lanes and pick up the tempo. Our tempo is slow and the plays in our games are way down since the NE game. When we go "heavy" with Lee Smith and Gore running the power game we stink. We commit penalties, we get behind the stickS and we don't help our young, raw QB. JA seems to get into a much better rhythm as a thrower. I would get rid of Lee Smith, and go with only Knox and Croft. I would activate Duke as another option for different situations. Spread it out, pick up the tempo and run/pass balance. The coaching staff has done the Offense no favors recently, and with a dearth of playmakers, better smarten up.
  21. I'm happy with having Duke active instead of Smith so we have multiple weapons situationally. With Knox and Croft we should have enough TEs active if we spread out more and open up the running lanes more.
  22. I'm surprised you aren't getting more responses, maybe I shouldn't be. There are so....many people who don't want to objectively view things, and instead offer a flippant one sentence answer..usually Josh Allen isn't Patrick Mahomes or something. Keep up the good work.
  23. Good post! I disagree with the Duke Williams for McKenzie. I don't disagree if its Duke for Lee Smith. I'm of the belief we have had our best offense when we stay away from our "heavy, multiple TE" packages. And, in turn we have run better with the McKenzie motion and spread package. We have also gotten Josh into more of a rythmn passing when we do that. JMO, but when we go heavy and try to run with Gore it hasn't worked. We get penalties and put ourselves in a hole with the sticks because we can't push people around upfront. Our tempo has slowed to crawl offensively as well, Pick up the pace, spread it out and balance the run and pass better.
