Productive use of your time I believe that he will. I think his path to the NFL has left his QB skills undeveloped. It'll take time but he'll get there, he's highly coachable.

6-2 and following the process. Last year we were 2-6. I'm happy and do not feel the need to second guess everything.

Gave up 9 points. Made adjustments in the second half. I only experience your negativity for the 20 minutes or so a day I spend on this board. I can't imagine what you go through dealing with it 24*7. Yikes!!

What this team needs is time. There's so many new pieces you have to remember it takes a little time to learn to play together as a consistent unit. This team at times plays really really good football. That's the potential that we are building to. Just give it a little more time and enjoy 6-2 and counting.

Take the time to look into Josh's journey to the NFL. He's a work in process. We drafted a guy with high intelligence and athletic abilities that are off the charts but has never been coached at a high level before. He's survived solely on arm strength and athletic abilities. This coaching staff is catching him up on the fundamentals that are required at this level. Going into the season everyone wanted the completion % to come up which has happened. Be patient Josh is an elite qb in the making.

So you are taking points off the HC because of the lack of talent we had last year. Last year was always going to be a down year where we freed up money so we could bring in the right players that fit our culture. This year we are a playoff team, next year we are a contender. I remember the train wreck this team was after the Ryan brothers, it's remarkable what's happened in under 3 years. Solid A+ from me.

I think you could be 145 and this would still be a historically favorable schedule ?

I see him more as a John Randle. Once he learns how to break off and separate there'll be a big jump in sack numbers.

I think it's good, finally it's getting some attention.

Why is there a required field on the poll? Prevented me from answering. Maybe there so be a no one option. With out the illegal hit on Allen we win that game.

It's definitely a bye week ?

I think you meant Hairy Kittys. That's the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread ?

We are one of the better teams in the league.

I hate these discussions. If the score was different during a game then the plays called would be different. The kicker missed 4 FGs. All I know is that 4 out of 5 games this year we've outscored our opponents. Enjoy the bye week and hopefully we move to 5-1 after the Dolphins.

Not against our defense they haven't. Relax, as others have said they are still letting the offense gel. They are asking #17 to make plays reading defenses and not by overusing his arm strength and legs. Before the season it was all negativity (from some) about completion %. They've made improvements there. By playoffs time this offense will have hit another gear.

True, but that only makes me wonder if Ole Miss could beat the Dolphins ?

I'm not sure that it is a question of honesty. You can't expect to be successful in the OC role if you are telling people that you are ready to accept a HC job. He gave the answer that was appropriate. Daboll seems pragmatic though. He wont rush things. If reputational trends continue Daboll will be able to choose the right opportunity. Redskins ownership is generally regarded poorly. Jumping ship for the wrong opportunity is never good. You don't want to repeat the mistake Pettine made going to the Browns in '14.

I don't know if it's more than most but I think with the depth we have the players we're bringing up are contributing more than with previous Bills teams

The guy is a leader. Perfect guy to have around to mentor the younger "human beings" on the team. I loved this exchange he had with Allen from the Bengals game.

I think they don't move on from Zay. This staff likes to reduce guys workloads to get them hungry for another chance. Then if they don't step up when called upon they get rid of them. I think they hold on to Zay but his locker will be in the shed out the back of the facility. He can look in the window but can't come in the room. Then in a few weeks they'll give him another opportunity to show that he wants it. It he's not ready some other team is giving Beane a 3rd round pick for his @$$ ?

They are developing Allen. He's been under coached at the college level and has gotten by on his athletic ability against sub standard competition. At the start of the season the goal was to get his completion percentage up, it is. He's now reading defenses and making adjustment, starting to slide, beginning to throw the ball away. He's coming along as a quarterback. I believe that he's on track to becoming elite. I think by the playoffs he'll be significantly better but give it another year and he'll be a in the elite conversation.

I trust that Beane will do the right thing.

Why? We should continue doing what we are doing which is winning games.

The team is in one game at a time mode. They're not thinking playoffs until the playoffs. Not meaning to be overly simplistic but if they keep winning the next game they'll make the playoffs. I would say that other than the Patriots game (and the concussion) this season is going to plan. Put Allen in situations where he moves the chains without overly relying on hero ball play. Allen is improving. That was a great defense we played against and Allen completion rate was 71.8%. I think it's important to remember that in every game (that Allen has finished) that when we needed a score Allen went and got us that score. I expect the growth to continue and by playoff time Allen will be hitting his stride.
