I am still all about the development of Allen. I am really optimistic about his potential. I would be ok if they left the situation the way it is now. The only concern I have is if Barkley can be effective against a decent team or if he was taking advantage of an atrocious Jets team. I am not saying I want Barkley to start over Allen, but I do have that concern. I responded, but It did not load as a quote. I agree with you completely. I would live to see a proven QB coach with has been effective in developing young QBs. I never understood this hire.

If we can continue to improve for the balance of the season, who knows? Last year proved that almost anything is possible.

Yes for the remainder of the season. I do believe that Anderson is a good mentor for Allen. I would revisit the situation in the off season and see if the we have an opportunity to strengthen our backup qbs then.

As despicable as his actions were, I don't think he should have no chance for redemption. If he gets counselling, he is serious about it and works the process (sorry) maybe he will earn the right to play in the NFL again. He could turn this situation into a positive by becoming an advocate of domestic nonviolence. Maybe I am feeling the after affects of our Christmas party last night, but if he shows true remorse and turns himself around, why not give him a second change? I like your Avatar. That was a great movie.

I am ok with the backups we have on our roster. could they be better? sure. But it is getting a little late in the season to bring in a new backup qb to learn the system and expect to be affective. (or is it effective. I never know for sure.)

15 -29 for 247, 2 td passes. He will rush for 73 yards and 2 rushing TDs. Bill 31 dolphins 17.

I agree. Especially regarding Kyle and Lorax. They provide a critical veteran presence for our defense. Both are still effective in their mud 30's. Amazing.

I believe that if we can improve our oline, shady can still be effective. He has played his heart out for the Bills. I would like to keep him for another year

Lol. I believe I was attempting to type he is. I am not the greatest at typing on my phone.

5.5 dogs seems about right. The odds makers give 3 points for the home team, so tacking on 2.5 points is fair. We need to win this game.

I like and agree with everything you said. It is always nice to beat the Dolphins twice in one year. If we don't make the playoffs, it would be nice to rank 2nd in our division. This would be something to build on.

Really nice recap of the game and especially the review of Allen. Thank you for the time it took to create this writeup.

Hole is very inexperienced, but he show a lot of poise. Maybe in time.

That is hilarious!

Marone: Did you find my car keys in my old office? I can't find them anywhere.

This is silly at this point. The Bills have beaten three playoff teams from last year. Most likely any NFL team could handle Alabama. However, back I. The 60's and before, the NFL champions would play a game vs a team of college Allstars. The college kids would win every once in a while.

Yeah, not a Marone fan, but last year's run probably bought him another year. Firing Hackett may have helped to keep his job through 2019.

I am not sure why, but I feel bad for Hackett. He seemed over his head, he also seems like a likable person. Who knows, he may get a head coaching job at a small college. Best of luck to Hackett. Bortles' benching is over due. I am glad it came a week after our game. He has had some decent games, but to me he looks like a career backup. Maybe a couple levels up from EJ.

You are truly gifted. Squish the fish!

He could have 3 or 4 strong seasons left, but I believe the Bills will draft a running back in 2019 and spend money on free agents to fill higher needs. If we strengthen our online, that should upgrade our running attack without bringing in a high priced player like Bell. He would be a nice addition, but to me that move does not seem to be practical.

I believe they would need to win out. If they take care of business they could win four of the five. I am not convinced they can beat New England unless the Pats have nothing to play for in the last two games of the season. Wouldn't that be amazing if we make the playoffs two years in a row in similar fashion?

The refs really destroyed the flow of the game. Allen's numbers could have looked much better if some of his completions had not been negated by penalties. Early in the game I believe it was Milano that was called for defensive holding when he just put his hand on a crossing receiver. It didn't even slow down the receiver. That was an unnecessary call . I am sure there were others, but that one was very noticeable. I live the Mar. Levy quote. For Marvin, that was about a rough a language as he could offer. A really classy coach. He always does. He has got to be one of the lowest rated head refs in the NFL.

I agree. He has put together two very nice seasons. With Milano, Edmunds, and Alexander, I believe we have a solid linebacker group. Linebacker is always listed as a high priority for next off season. I am not sure why unless Alexander's age is an issue or they are looking to add depth.

If we can improve the online in 2019, shady will look much better.

Darnold does not have the upside. I prefer Allen's personality and upside. I am content with our pick of Allen at 7.
