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.

Amen to that. Allen outplayed Tannehill by far.

Allen played well enough to win the game. We need to surround him with receivers that play with the same heart as he does. Benjamin and Clay have to go. Allen started out slowly, but finished with respectable numbers. 18-34. 231 yards. 135 yards rushing. He had 2 ints but the first one was on a haul Mary. He is showing improvement. That is what we need to see. Even though I worry about the hits he takes with his running, that is part of what makes him such a dynamic player. Some mobile qbs had long careers and racked up significant rushing yardage. I think we found our guy in Josh.

Agreed. Clay and Benjamin for sure.

Allen played his heart out like always. He extended that play. Clay makes a half hearted effort and comes up short. Let's package Clay and Benjamin and trade them for a vintage Yugo!

That one was on Clay.

This one hurts.

For sure. His running makes up for his miss throws.

Come on defense.

I would be ok with cutting him after the game. We don't need players like that.
