yeah, a rookie after his third start sure does look a lot like a 7 year vet. thing is, once allen gets the supporting cast around him and plays 7 years the OP can look back on how dumb of a comparison he used here.

it's self explanatory when it comes to your posts/opinions.

so, after a win. you felt the need to come to the board and spew your negativity with bashing the rookie? you're a real swell kid, real swell.

hats off to hughes though. he could of put #8 on his back and instead played safe knowing the risk of a 15 yd penalty, smart. it's up there for sure

where do you come up with this stuff? allen was responsible for the only touchdown today and he did it in gritty fashion. the kid is athletic and has potential to be good once all the pieces surround him. I don't know what some folks were expecting in this 2nd season of the rebuild but if you haven't the patience to see it play out you're either watching the wrong sport or team, or both!

yeah, he's pretty raw but not unexpected so I'm willing to except he's a rookie taking his lumps a long the way. don't think I'd go as far as to say brutal though, last week was brutal..

hey, it could of been you. but, here you are on a message board. enjoy the game.

maybe they should hire you? I know there are several on this board that surprise me with all there know it all football knowledge yet they're merely wasting it all on this board. GM, HC, scouts, all here folks when they could be getting paid for all that knowledge.

better late than never?

https://billswire.usatoday.com/2018/09/22/buffalo-bills-minnesota-vikings-experts-picks-expert/ The Buffalo Bills (0-2) haven’t given them much reason to, though. Meanwhile, the Minnesota Vikings (1-0-1) have given them plenty of reasons to. With that in mind and with the Vikings on-deck on Sunday, the Bills are a massive underdog according to the experts as well, per NFL Pickwatch. A whopping 99 percent of experts have picked the Vikes to beat the Bills. There’s only one national guy that’s taking a big plunge and taking Buffalo, Neil Greenberg from the Washington Post. https://thevikingage.com/2018/09/20/nfl-minnesota-vikings-week-3-win-bills/ Picking the Vikings Bleacher Report – Group Consensus: “Gagnon and Davenport believe a Bills team that has been outscored 78-23 this season is in for a blowout loss” Score prediction: Vikings 34, Bills 14 CBS Sports – Pete Prisco: “The Vikings win in a blowout.” Score prediction: Vikings 37, Bills 10 FanSided – Matt Verderame: “the Vikings (1-0-1) are going to lay a fierce beating on the Bills (0-2).” Score prediction: 34-3 NFL.com – Elliot Harrison: “This just looks ugly on paper. And it probably will on the field, too.” Score prediction: Vikings 34, Bills 9 Pioneer Press – Kevin Cusick: “we’d suggest (Vontae Davis) spending the next 14 weeks betting heavily against his old team, laying however many points it takes.” Score prediction: Vikings by 27 Pro Football Talk – Michael David Smith: “This should be the easiest pick on the board. The Bills just aren’t competitive.” Score prediction: Vikings 30, Bills 10 Pro Football Talk – Mike Florio: “While the Bills won’t win, they’ll cover (the spread). Barely.” Score prediction: Vikings 35, Bills 20 Sporting News – David Steele: “At this time, we invite the public to make its own “retire at halftime” jokes. Chances are excellent they’ll be appropriate.”Score prediction: Vikings 38, Bills 16 CBS Sports – Jason LaCanfora, Will Brinson, Jared Dubin, Ryan Wilson, John Breech, Dave Richard, Jamey Eisenberg ESPN – Bowen, Clay, Golic, Graziano, Kimes, Qerim, Riddick, Siefert, Wickersham, Wingo SBNation – RVB, Stephen White, Geoff Schwartz, Charles McDonald, Adam Stites, Chrisitan D’Andrea, RJ Ochoa USA Today – Jarrett Bell (27-13), Nate Davis (37-0), Mike Jones (35-12), Mike Middlehurst-Schwartz (38-17), Lorenzo Reyes (33-10) This is a game that is easy to pick the Vikings for. Not only are they 17 point favorites during the game, but it has the potential to be ugly early, with the stellar Minnesota defense taking on a rookie in his first start in his first NFL road game. _____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________ enjoy the game. I stay clear of this joint during a game. the gameday thread can become vile and full of whiners. bad enough you see it all week, no need to see or take part in that romper room thread. GO BILLS!!!

WATCH: Andre Reed on Josh Allen: 'He's showed he's a leader' On Friday, Reed appeared on The Rich Eisen Show and discussed the state of the Bills and their current QB, rookie Josh Allen. While coming off a tough 22-0 loss, Reed told Eisen he saw some good qualities in Allen during Buffalo’s 27-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3. “Two weeks ago he showed he’s a leader, he’s got confidence, and they just have to get everyone around him to play better,” Reed said. GO BILLS!!!

whelp, there's another notch in the Beane/McD belt of failure...

no, I would not. time will come not too far down the road where I'll be tired of this world. a world that in the last 25 years or so, has went south to the point that I'd rather see what's happening on the other side...

Bills killer Frank Wycheck would've liked to play in Buffalo Frank Wycheck needs no introduction in these parts. But Bills fans may be surprised to learn that one of their biggest villains harbored a lot of respect for fans in Buffalo. "I'm a blue-collar guy. I'm from Philadelphia, just growing up from humble beginnings, and I just feel like that I'd be a guy that would want to play in Buffalo," Wycheck said of why he congratulated the Bills on making the playoffs last year. "It's the same type of situation, the same type of people that I feel like that I grew up around. I pull for cities and teams like that." . Buffalo Bills vs. Tennessee Titans: Preview, odds, predictions for Week 5 The Tennessee Titans come to town this week and bring one of the best defenses in the NFL through the first month of the season. They sacked Carson Wentz four times and hurried him 12 times in a win last week. Buffalo has been without a consistent running game all season. Star running back LeSean McCoy has yet to eclipse the 100-yard mark... for the season. The Bills secondary is beat up. Safeties Micah Hyde and Rafael Bush are questionable for Sunday and that could mean rookie Siran Neal will make his first start after playing just seven snaps all season. Odds The Bills opened as a +4 1/2-point underdog but have gone u to + 5 1/2, according to Pregame.com How to follow the game The game will be broadcast on CBS at 1 p.m. Sunday. NYUP.com will have you covered on social media during the game and on the website at the final whistle and throughout the rest of Sunday.

they'll come down off their cloud sunday.

Video Preview: Buffalo Bills vs. Tennessee Titans The Bills look to bounce back at home against the Titans Will the Bills be able to score? After the shutout in Green Bay, the Bills now rank 31st in the NFL in scoring. On the other sideline, the Titans have allowed the 7th fewest points in the league. It appears that former New England Patriots player and coach, and rookie Titans head coach, Mike Vrabel has his defense humming. Can the offensive line get it together? The Bills’ offensive line is ranked 32nd in the league after their week four debacle. The coaches have only made one change to the line this season. They replaced Ryan Groy with Russell Bodine as the starting center in the lead up to the game against the Minnesota Vikings. Will they make any more changes after a brutal game in Green Bay? Terrible offense has killed Bills during a mostly miserable first quarter of season ► Patience needed with Allen. He played a nice two quarters in Minnesota in helping guide the Bills to a 27-0 halftime lead. Otherwise, the No. 7 overall draft pick has looked every bit like the raw rookie quarterback he is. The worry with Allen was, and still is, his accuracy, and the Bills have to hope they can improve that through better coaching and drilling on his mechanics. Next Gen Stats calculates expected completion percentage (passes that should be completed) against actual completion percentage, and Allen is currently minus-7.5 percent, meaning rather than his current 53.4 percent rate, he should be at 60.9. Part of that is drops, but also his misfiring. Only Blaine Gabbert (minus-16.7) and Tyrod Taylor (minus-13.9) are worse.

GO COLTS!!!

with a 31st ranked offense you shouldn't expect much scoring from the bills and the titans 24th ranking is not saying much more. both defenses are close, bills 16th and titans 15th. hopefully they don't allow 400 yds (423) like given up to the pack last week? titans have played well enough to have a 3-1 record only losing to the fins. beating the jags on their turf (9-6) and the win at home in OT (26-23) against the eagles is nothing to look past but they come back down to earth where the 3 game winning streak ends at new era. first week I believe I've picked the bills to win. at home and following an embarrassment last week, I say they turn it around on sunday with a much needed conference win. no blowout for either team. 26 20

this went well...

niether KB or injury prone watkins can stay healthy, so that comparison is bogus. as for MD, he is clearly making more than star and they did right by trading him and his contract to the jags. spotrac links star MD

not around this joint, so good luck with that OP. I mean didn't you know that some here know more than the coaches and GM? I mean they all have this idea they know how to run a franchise or coach a team yet, where are they? not working for the nfl but on this board.

raise a glass for the fluke.

"mommy"

this off season? takes time to "rebuild"
