So right. We have a site where we can make our opinions known and post threads. I am not a lemming, nor do I buy into the excuses the FO & Coaching Staff makes. I watch football to be entertained and the Bills are my team. They are painful to watch and are so far behind the NFL trend it is pathetic. The Bills couldn't throw the ball then too...... The defense played takeaway and a lot of short fields..... In terms of passing yards they are in the bottom 3 the past 4 seasons and thankfully 2014 saw Kyle Orton light up the league and the Bills ranked 18!!!!!

Can anyone objectively watch a Bills game and enjoy them? Actually surprisingly the Ringer only had the Bills ranked in the bottom third in 2017 (scored high in Turnover & Takeaways). https://www.theringer.com/2018/9/7/17830476/nfl-watchability-sunday-viewing-guide Please no more saying Wins are all that matters, as that is false.

Again the point is the Bills drafted Allen as the future and need to develop thus. 19 pass attempts/game, no creativity, minimal talent and putting him in bad situations is not helpful. Only an idiot would not acknowledge the need to have an offense that people respect and are concerned to play against. It took Sean McVay's hiring to turn Goff into a QB, so lay the blame where it belongs on the Coach & FO.

Please no more winning ugly. Yep 1-2/yr is okay, but every week to watch this offense struggle, no creativity or wanting to move the ball downfield is makes it almost impossible to watch. 85 yards passing, 19 attempts and 1 TD in two weeks is unwatchable. I feel sorry for the fans who pay money and am thankful I can tape the game, have Picture in Picture on, switch to the NFL network and watch while on a bike getting exercise and reading too..... Does the Bills front office & coaches pay no attention to the fact that every winning team does it with an offense capable of moving the ball, throwing for 350+ (used to say 300, but 400 now easily done)? Yep before I get the stoopid responses "Then don't watch", unfortunately the Bills have been my team for 48 years and I will keep watching, however I am now having nightmares of Joe Ferguson and his 15 pass attempts/game..... This is 2018 not 1973......

What if Steve Beuerlein called the Vikings game
Billsfan1972 replied to Billsfan1972's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well then do that when Brady misses reads & open receivers & I'll agree with you. The issue is that almost every play has one receiver open and it comes down to whether the QB was given the right call, made the right decision and executed the play. Bueurlein went relentlessly after Allen on it seemed every play. I saw mistakes, but also 245 yards passing, which the Bills accomplished all of 4 times last year. Yesterday he threw for 170 in the first half and all of 7 pass plays in the second half. -

He didn't play bad vs. the Chargers (or maybe the last 17 years of watching the Bills play may have coloured my opinion). -

And he threw for 245, completed 60% of his passes and was competent in his first NFL game. Yes this week was easy, but Beuerlein continually was nothing but negative. Darnold walks on water by comparison. -
I really hated how negative he was with respect to Josh Allen vs. the Chargers. I though he nit picked and expected him to make every correct read an d touch passes in his first start. Compare that to Romo yesterday and one wonders if the roles had been reversed. What I am finding is with these rookie QB's I'm paying very close attention to how they play and maybe more so how the commentators react.

Every throw from Josh Allen’s 1st start

Anyone watch Trubinsky last night....... A couple of good passes and many bad ones too..... -

Seeing a lot of conversation as expected about his play, but that TD pass was a beauty and been a while since we've seen one zipped in like that. Again I'll be an optimist until proven otherwise as he was a high first round pick and can't afford for him to be a disaster. Would be nice if he had some receivers. -
In 2017 the Bills had 3 games with more passing yards...... The Bills have no receivers and we are trotting out a rookie. So after a decade of the Bills refusing to play Football the way it is being played by the majority of NFL teams (i.e. with a passing game), 245 seems like 350+ to me..... An easy comparison is Jared Goff and the putrid rookie campaign he put up and now with weapons and coaching that emphasizes the Offense is looking pretty good. I for one was okay with what I saw and hope that there continues to be progression (though concerned with the schedule). My biggest fear is an injury and the Peterman fans return on mass....
