This is funny. We need to let Josh be Josh. This board was lit up during the Tyrod era lamenting that he never threw down feel. We draft a qb with a cannon of an arm, and now he is throwing down field too much? This is why TBD is so entertaining.

Whoever we draft at wr, I hope this board gives him couple of yeas to develop. It normally takes two seasons at wr and ol to truly see what we have.

I thought of that, but it would have been about the same distance as an extra point.

I hope that 3 points we left on the field in the 3rd quarter doesn't come back to haunt us.

Just a wild coincidence.

If tickets are available I would love to go. Living in Las Vegas has its perks.

January 2, 2005. The last game of the season with Drew Bledsoe at QB. We were playing a Steelers team that had clinched home field throughout the playoffs. they were playing second and third sting players in that game. If we won that game, we would have gone to the playoffs. We lost 29 - 24. That one hurt

That brings up a good question. Did McKenzie hire Gruden? I was thinking Davis went around McKenzie and hired him directly. I agree. Gruden is not the answer.

That Raiders situation is really sad. McKenzie has worked his but off to build a very talented team and get to the playoffs. I believe in 2016 they made the playoffs with a 12-4 record. Chuck comes in and dismantles the team. Then McKenzie gets fired. Gruden may have a plan, but it does not seem like it. The next big move will be for Gruden to bring in a host of quarterback candidates and replace Derek Carr. It is going to be a long 10 years with that ridiculous contract. I also feel bad for the Raiders fans. Mark Davis promised the fan base that he would do all he could to win another Super Bowl before they moved to Las Vegas. I have never been a Raiders fan but this has to be tough for the Raiders Nation.

Josh has shown enough on the field and an incredible work ethic off the field to commit to him for another year. We can use the draft picks to help build an o line and give him more skill players to use. Clay needs to go the way of Benjamin. It was like night and day seeing the efforts of our young receivers and watching Clay. He looks like a slug out there.

I hear you, but I am never ok with a loss when the game was there for us to win. This season losses are mitigated by the thought, "at least we will get a better draft pick". I hope this is the last year for a while where our draft position is the most positive outcome for the season.

Conceptually, I would be ok with this. If we could get 2 first round picks and maybe a second, that would help fill our positions of needed with a good infusion of talent.

You got your wish. Now our line has to give Allen time to throw. You got your wish. Now our line has to give Allen time to throw.

One more stop. Never mind

Exactly.

This sucks.

We needed that stop

This reminds me of the Miami game. Not a good feeling. We need a turnover, NOW!

At half time I left the house and went to buy new tires for my wife's car. I was watching the start of the third quarter on a TV at Firestone. I started to get optimistic so we rushed home and caught the 4th quarter.

Lorax is still playing at q very high level. Linebacker is a position that lacks depth. Keep signing him to one year contract as long as he is affective.

With Josh, I have taken the opinion of just enjoying watching him play and develop. He is showing why Beane was so high on him. Many national and local sports journalists are now believing that he has the highest growth potential of any qb in this year's draft. I was upset on draft day when they picked the "wrong" Josh. I now could not be happier. I was wrong. As for Beane, some of his moves were difficult to understand at the time they were made. But Beane is looking at the big picture and a three to four year development plan. Most of his moves have worked out, but not all of them. He is not perfect. Likewise for McDermott. He is still learning on the job to be a head coach. He has had his struggles, but he has shown me he can coach. I am the most optimistic that I have been in regard to the Bills future since 1999. I believe we have a bright future and new glory days are just around the corner.

The first I can remember is Brian Moorman. He always held for field goals and extra points. Prior to that I only remember backup quarterbacks doing this job. Not sure why this changed. Maybe because it is more likely to have a backup qb injured than your punter. I don't know, just a guess.

Your analysis is amazing. Thank you for the time you spend developing these incredible posts.

I hope you are right. He has a skill set like no other quarterback the Bills have ever had. Flutie could run, but did not have the cannon of an are like Josh. I look forward to watching him each week. I am already pumped up for next season. Go Bills!!!

Allen deserves all the credit. His protection broke down. He somehow avoided the rush with incredible mobility, and made a strong off balance pass that clay should have caught. This is completely Clay's responsibility. He should be gone.
