    I just looked at the TV guide for Rochester and it looks like it's not on here (or not updated).  Gonna have to turn the antenna toward Buffalo this weekend.

    I'd wait until the coverage map comes out later in the week before you start making plans. It's been years since they haven't shown a Bills game in Rochester, and have to believe that this one will be shown as well.

    ROCKPILE REIVEW - The Bills Don't Have Quite Enough

    No, I don't think it's the offense.  I think it's Allen.  He's young and inexperienced.   He doesn't know yet how to read all the defenses, to get the team into the right plays, and to make the right decisions.   The Pats, of course, are the ultimate example.   Yes, you can argue they have elite offensive game planning, but if you have mediocre players at a lot of positions, game planning only takes you so far.  In the final analysis, on the field you need a QB who understands what's going on and executes, a QB like Brady.   Allen isn't there yet.   It takes years to learn and master all the concepts and to make the split second decisions that are necessary. 

     

    I think Allen has the talent.  We already see how calm he is in the huddle and at the line of scrimmage.   We see that he has good pocket presence and awareness.  And we see that, WHEN HE SEES WHAT"S GOING ON, he executes very nicely.   He has all the skills.   He just has to keep learning the game.   He was 22 for 41 on Sunday not  because the offense sucks - he was 22 for 41 because he didn't see a half dozen opportunities to change the play or throw to a better option.  A half dozen opportunities is half dozen completions at 10 yards per completion, which is a 300-yard passing day and probably the difference between a win and a loss.   

     

    When you're throwing to Jarvis Landry as your number two wideout, it isn't so difficult - the guy is going to get open a lot.   But Allen isn't throwing to Beckham and Landry; he's throwing to two guys a notch below.   So he has to be better technically - Mayfield can get away with not understanding because he has those receivers. 

     

    Allen's still learning.  He works hard at his job.   I think he'll be fine.   But it takes time.  And a top notch receiver wouldn't hurt. 

    I agree with all of this - I'm a total Allen fan-boy. What I don't understand is: Allen with his high Wonderlic has trouble making pre- and post-snap reads quickly - how is it that Lamar Jackson with his low Wonderlic score does not, or does Jackson's scheme not require him to make these reads.

    Ty Nsekhe v Ford yesterday

    I looked it up - Ty Nsekhe had 17 snaps yesterday. Anyone notice if he was appreciably better the Ford when he was in? That was always my impression leading up to Nsehke's injury, but it's hard to judge O-line performance watching the game once on tv...

    Pretty cool.   He gets another year to bulk up and follow Terry and Kim around so he'll be ready to transition into the ownership team down the line...

    He's the Bill's version of Tom Branson of Dowton Abbey - sorry, wrong board...
