Only if Allen can’t go on Sunday. Barkley does do some things better than Allen, but not enough to warrant starting. I can support our backup while being objective. People writing him off are the ones being premature

Which should have been a penalty. The Bills were flagged for that in a preseason game against Carolina

Penalty would have given the Bills a 15 yard penalty and an automatic first down. That really could have helped for a win at that point

I listened to that earlier tonite on youtube. And yeah, he sounds quite pissed. Hopefully, it motivates the whole team next weekend

If I didn't come out and say it, then I didn't say it then did I? Forget your assumptions, I could really care less. One guy tried that on me and I made him look like a bigger fool than he already is. And after today and last week, Allen showed anything but being smart with his decision making. I don't know what Barkley will bring to the table, but I do believe he can read the field better. Give him practice and see what happens. When Allen is cleared, put him back in starting. That clear enough for you?

Happens to a lot of young head coaches. I can understand his frustration, but from what's been said here in the gameday thread, there were some penalties "given" to the Pats. Officials are getting far too much protection from justified criticism. I get that blown calls are gonna happen, but it just seems that more happen against the Bills at home for whatever reason. And that I imagine is even more frustrating when the offense isn't playing to their abilities

What was there to watch that didn't show Allen making bad decisions? Also, show me where I said Barkley should start over Allen. Don't be like Boca Bills and put words in my mouth, FOR REAL DUDE!!!!

It may not matter if people think it won't benefit him or not. If this hero ball crap keeps on happening, he will ride the pine. 4 picks from doing that

I really shouldn't put the Titans down that much, but living in Tennessee, I've seen quite a bit of them. That debacle in Jacksonville stands out more than anything. Mariota is as prone to mistakes as Allen is. If we can exploit that just a little bit and have this defense ball out like they did against the Pats, the Bills could absolutely embarrass the Titans on their own field. Barkley protects the ball better than Allen, but at this point who doesn't? Something's gotta give with his decision making

I'm really not getting this. Ok the only thing we have to go on Barkley is the Jets game, he played good. Everything before that I could care less about. He's been successful in this offense. This defense took Brady to the woodshed and now I'm supposed to worry about Marcus Mariota? We've shut down guys like Le'Veon Bell and Saquon Barkley, and there's no reason why we can't shut down Henry. Titans' defense is decent, but nowhere near the level of the Pats. We can move the ball against them, even with Barkley.

At this point, smarts may be exactly what's needed with a defense like ours. If Allen had been smarter, we'd have won today

Whoever is starting, for the love of god, get Knox more involved. If Williams gets called up and practices this week, Barkley may play better than a lot of people think

I won't go as far as to say he will right now. I wanted to blame the coaches for lack of preparation, but after watching the highlights, Allen isn't playing smart at all. So many times he could have had decent gains instead of throwing deep. He needs to do what the coaches want him to do, take what he's given.

Well it worked for Jason Peters, why not try Smith out on the OL ?

Yeah that's him

Oh yea, I barely remember his inept self too. Didn't that team have like an extremely bad HC back then?

A lot of today's Pats fans wouldn't know who you were talking about

With this defense that took Brady to the woodshed, that's pretty much all we have to do is protect the football. I believe Barkley is capable of putting up points

Props for the classy and non-ribbing post.

Again, you post this after I specifically tell you "YOU'RE GONNA SEE THOSE THINGS FROM A YOUNG QB". They're called growing pains for a reason. No reason Allen can't learn from his mistakes, that's all up to him. I'm not gonna ignorantly say because of those stats, he's a bust. My god, get on the booze and ridlin while you can, because when the Pats lose Brady, believe me, you're gonna be cellar dwellers every bit as long as we've been. Wentz and Goff got time, why can't Allen?

Oh stop with the tough talk, you don't even know what I"m talking about

Oh I'm pretty sure that and Allen's picks weren't the only reasons

Oh he won't bring his name up again, but not for the reasons you're thinking of

The stats agree with you considering the overall yardage gained by both teams. Only the final score has any say in it
