Great minds think alike. This game came to mind as I watched the MNF offensive explosion. I know people complain about the lack of defense, but like the LAR vs KC, that Bills vs 49's game was a lot of fun.
I was relieved when I realized that there had been a punt I. The game. I believe that the 1992 Bills/49er's game is still the only regular season game without either team punting.
Let's hope there are new glory days in our near future like the 90's Bills.

It's kind of funny that the particular s word you used is censored. I would venture a guess that it's used appropriately 90 percent of the time.
My point was had they gone the normal route and fired Whaley well before the draft, we may have taken a quarterback. And it's possible that the 17 draft was grossly underrated and the 18 draft was grossly overrated.
Time will tell.
That was funny. Talk about taking it out of context.

You make a lot of assumptions about Allen's development. You realize that your assumptions are your opinion and not fact, right?
If you look back to Jared Goff 's rookie year, many were declaring him a bust. We see how that turned out.
I believe Allen will be the qb we need. The Bills are right on schedule for following the NFL trend of which you spoke.
But thank you for your attempt to ***** defeat out of the jaws of victory.

Hi hope that Allen and the Bills ignore these comments and just kick their butt on the filed.

The best use for the remaining six games is to see what we have with our younger players. It is most important that Allen get as many reps in live game action as possible. Is he is on the bench this year, that means we will be playing a 2nd floor qb next season with only 4 career starts.
I am hopeful that the 2019 is when we start to see the offense and the entire team starting to develop into a contender.
Get Allen and our young players experience so they can hit the ground running next season.

Class was never the issue with McD...people just questioned if he was in over his head
He is not. McDermott is going to be the coach we need.

The offense looked better than capable under Barkley's command, but I have a serious case of J.A.W.S.( Josh Allen Withdrawl Syndrome).
I just wanna watch the kid grow the next several games. And oh yeah, Josh, make Ramsey look like a fool please?
I agree with you. Even though the Bills have struggled. I am looking forward to seeing Allen play again. I really do not like the bye week.

If what I have read is true, either one could be a game changer. I am leaning more for Bosa since the conventional wisdom is that he could be better than his brother...wow.

Ah, assumptions. If ya ain't for us, yer 'gainst us!
Check my post history. I actually started a forum post titled The Bills did not back into the playoffs. I repeatedly stated Tyrod was a mediocre QB, capable of elevating a bad team and dragging down a good one. When traded I said it was a good move for both teams and said he was just what they needed until Mayfield was ready. I said the Bills outgrew him, I never said any other QB would be an improvement. So, basically, all your assumptions are wrong, and the proof is right here on the board.
I understand, it's easier to write someone off as a hater, that way you don't have to address their points. In this case, Tyrod's tenure as Cleveland starter. You persist in handwaving that off like it never happened, ignoring it, insisting he would have played like the 2017 Bills Taylor, instead of the 2018 Browns TT.
Have a great day and Happy Thanksgiving.

Still a glibISH response without much effort. Nice.
I gave it all the effort that was put into starting this thread. Again ridiculous.

You keep avoiding the question. Lemmie spell it out.
Tyrod, putting up the numbers he did with Cleveland this season, would not have made us a playoff team. Period. So, what makes you think he would have done better with this season's Bills then he did with the Browns.
Sorry, 2018 Tyrod is not 2017 Tyrod. TT on this year's Bills, with the loss of three linemen and severe lack of offensive weapons would not have done as well as he did last year...and last year's Tyrod laid an egg against the Saints, and could only put up 9 on CAR. Not to mention that pitiful display in the JAX against a defense that surrendered far more to PIT and NE.
You're romantisizing, looking at less interceptions while assuming the remainder of the offensive production remains the same, and it just doesn't work that way. Go watch Tyrod's Cleveland starts this year, then look me straight in the eye and tell me he could lead this team to the playoffs.
Different team, different coaches. I believe our OC would have created game plans to better utilize Taylors strengths. You are obviously one of the Tyrod detractors. I find it hilarious when people in the 2017 season would whine about Tyrod not throwing for 300 yards, even though we would win the game. HE got us to the playoffs, and he was a big part of that.
Next you will say we backed in to the playoffs. there is no such thing. We won enough games to make the playoffs.
You are beating a dead horse. Tyrod is no longer on our team and he most likely never will be again. Let it go......Please.

You saw what Tyrod did in Cleveland with the personel there. I reiterate, what makes you think he would have done better here, with the offensive personel we have, then he did there? You can't handwave away his performance as a Brown.
TT would Have given us a chance in all of the Peterman debacles with many fewer turnovers. The Colts and Texans could have been wins. 5-5 record at this point with TT would have given us a fair chance for a playoff birth.

Look at Buffalo's current offense. Look at Cleveland's. Look how "well" Tyrod did in Cleveland this season. Tell me why in the name of all that's good and holy do you think Tyrod would have done better here, with the Bills, then he did in Cleveland.
Or, to be more concise...no. Hell no. Nope. Non, nix, nay, nun-uh...

I was going to write something glib, but what is the use. .....this is a ridiculous thread.

Excellent article! This is what many "rational" posters on this site have been saying. Maybe this article will get some of the agitated posters off the ledge.
Thank you for starting this thread.

I am a solid advocate for McDermott, but come on...that is a stretch. We have been in every game except Baltimore???

I understand why they brought Anderson to Buffalo to help with Josh Allen, but with Matt Barkely here shouldn't Allen be learning from Barkley now? In Derek Anderson's last 3 years in the NFL he has been absolutely terrible. He has throw 2 touchdowns and 6 interceptions and has never looked good. He is not a good quarterback and you have to wonder why you would want a bad quarterback teaching your future franchise quarterback how to play. The NFL Anderson grew up in is nothing like the NFL of today.
Isn't this like asking a bad student to tutor your child?
You know the old saying: those who can, do. Those who can't, teach. I am not meaning to diminish teachers. The point is just because he can't play well does not mean he can not teach.
The reverse is also true. Just because an athlete plays at a high level does not mean he or she can teach. Mike Singletary comes to mind. He was a great linebacker, but he was terrible as a head coach.
Michael Jordin is another example. He admits that he would not be a good coach. He would expect the players he was coaching to be able to do the things he could do and would get very frustrated if they fell short of his expectations.
Anderson seems to be taking to his mentor role very well. Let's see what happens.

Best kicker in the league. Why did Seattle let him go?
Thank you Seahawks. (they also stole the 12th man recognition from us)

I am just taking the season as it unfolds. I believe in McDermott and Beane to turn this team into a consistent winner. McDermott has a way to refocus this team and not let them give up in the face of adversity. He is a special coach.
Beane has made some mistakes. But he has had a good draft and has made some good moves as well. We just need to endure this season and there will be better days ahead for our beloved Bills.

The Bills will:
- Win each remaining game (with an emphatic win over the Pats in their house)
- Josh Allen will average 250yds 1-2 td passes a game
- Defense remains #1
- We go 9-7 and make an even crazier entrance into the Playoffs than last year
- We win a game in the play-offs but lose divisional game
- Greatest in-season turnaround in Bills history is complete
Now you have done it. I am all in!!!

It amazes me with how bad we are at the position how fast we get rid of a freshly signed WR. Yet we still keep KB. Go figure. I know he didn't do anything and I am not upset about it or anything, but still. They aren't giving these guys any kind of chance and yet sit there keeping an obviously heartless bum that drops pass after pass, td after td, making no effort.
I like McDermott as a coach, but he seems to have a blind spot for certain players. Unfortunately KB is one of them.

I think what the Jets game showed us is that if we have a quarterback that can play at an average NFL qb level, our talent on offense can be better than we thought. Yes, we do need upgrades at wr, and the oline, but we may have underestimated this group's abilities.

I think it is legit for what it is. Given the number of turnovers, 3 and outs, and the general lack of ball control the offense has experienced this season, for our defense to lead the league in the fewest yards allowed is an amazing accomplishment.
Who recalls this game from Thanksgiving in 1976?

I do remember that game. My entire family were bills fans. My mom scheduled our thanksgiving meal around the game. Is was an awesome game. In was incredible.
