Throwing it away on 3rd and 10 at this point is absolutely terrible.

Jets may have made a mistake starting Darnold in game 1. You can't pull him out now even though it might be better for him.

Darnold looks a bit antsy in the pocket.
I notice the same thing. He's really been "brutally bad" tonight, I'm sure Jon Ledyard will let everyone know about it tomorrow.

I won't lie this game makes me feel better about Allen. A good reminder that it takes time for every rookie QB to settle in. And defenses are always adjusting.

Ward reminds me of White. Great instincts and knows exactly how to go for the ball.

Mayfield is certainly fun to watch

I dont get Hue. It should have been an open competition from the start. Yet he just declares its Tyrods team. Nothing againt TT but it made no sense. And now three weeks in Mayfield is starting.
I honestly think all 4 QBs would have been better off on the bench for the whole year. I'm starting to think no rookie QB should ever see the field regardless of how bad the offense looks. But fans aren't patient enough to let greatness develop.

Mayfield already has more passing yards than Darnold.

Do we know if McCloud is back yet? I think he could be sneaky good with Allen if he can play. He genuinely might be our #1 receiver right now.

I have a 4 year old. Stories like this punch me in the gut. God bless their family.

It's a fair evaluation of how he looked in his 1st ever game. By the way I like Daboll's scheme. Players are getting open. Allen just needs to progress and start seeing the field better.

Billy Price would have been nice!
Billy Price has been disappointing so far. And he's currently out with a foot injury.

It wasn't a great performance but QBs practically never look good in their first games as rookies. Watson in game 1 came in the 2nd half and had a 60.4 passer rating. Game 2 he was 75.9. Game 3 he was 90.6. Pat Mahomes got his first start in the last game of his rookie season against a bad Denver defense with nothing to play for and had a passer rating of 76.4. All I want to see from Allen is steady progress.

Our 2nd string, Peterman included, would blow out Alabama if every one of their drives started at the 50 and every one of our drives started at the 1. This is nonsense.

Mahomes has been very impressive with his pre and post snap reads. He throws to a lot of wide open receivers but part of that is him diagnosing the defense. It isn't like Watson last year who literally was just throwing jump balls to Hopkins and Fuller and converting through pure luck. Unlike Watson last year I don't have anything bad to say about Mahomes's success so far. I mean he isn't going to throw 6 TDs each week but he's shown a lot.
It reinforces my belief that QBs are better off sitting on the bench for a year and I am back to worrying that Allen shouldn't be starting right now.

I waited until I could watch this video to give my opinion because being at the game it was hard to see where every ball was located, and the video reinforces what I felt in person, that Allen was bad. Allen is missing RBs on wheel routes or in the flat by three feet, and underthrowing deep balls despite the big arm. I fully understand the context of being in his first start, and I'll give him credit for being poised, but this is exactly what Allen was in Wyoming...inaccurate, with no touch.
I hope he improves and look forward to seeing if he can fix his accuracy, but as we have seen in the past, fixing inaccuracy is a tall order.
I rewatched it and accuracy isn't my main concern. I only counted 3 passes that were too inaccurate by NFL standards - the miss to Murphy, the 2nd interception, and the Dimarco catch. I'm much more concerned about his pre-snap and post-snap recognition. He is slow to read the field IMO. That will hopefully improve with time. Like on the deep completion to Zay he was open long before Allen threw him the ball. The pass protection wasn't that bad in this game - I would only put 2 or 3 sacks on the OL. He held the ball a little too long and sometimes stares down his reads. He needs to recognize blitzes better too. Not trying to nitpick, that's just what I saw in his first ever start.

I don't know if McBeane are the guys to build a winner, but the Bills have their qb.
Unfortunately we won't really know until next season. I do think McDermott is a good coach in the sense that he makes good halftime adjustments. You saw that more than a few times last year and again this past Sunday. I am not sold on his game planning in general just yet. But this season we have over $50 million in dead cap so it's just hard to say. They've set themselves up beautifully for next year with $80 million in cap space and 10 draft picks, 3 of which should be quite high. They have to deliver though.

At this point it looks like a throwaway season. It's going to be hard to create a winning environment for Josh Allen like this. A QB's confidence is a fragile thing. We need to become the kind of organization he will want to stay with at the end of his rookie contract.
I don't think Allen is like that at all. Hes already been through the ringer at Wyoming. Some people are mentally fragile but not all, it's probably a genetic thing. You don't shrug off sacks from Terrell Suggs and Melvin Ingram without some kind of mental toughness. I don't know why I just have a hunch Allen will improve with each mistake. He just has the right make up.

If Bills fans are upset about Mahomes, imagine how Bears fans must feel.

previously i was critical of Josh's second interception. after watching all the throws, i may be off in that estimation. while his footwork was not perfect, it may have been more of a miscommunication with the receiver. you can see Josh throws it where had the receiver broke out instead of up, he would have probably hit the receiver.
Josh owned the 2nd pick at his presser. Said it was just a bad ball. That one and the miss to Murphy in the flat were the most frustrating. Those are the throws he will need to make consistently to succeed in this league.

Allen caused a couple of those sacks himself, not that I expect him to be a savvy veteran at this point. I'm not saying it's great blocking, we clearly need to upgrade every position to the right of Dawkins. But it is sufficient enough to let Allen develop and evaluate him. The much bigger concern IMO is the receiving corps. Allen needs receivers that can win contested catches and I'm not sure we have a single one.
Just to underscore what I'm saying here this tweet from Mike Rodak is interesting:
I take that to mean QB mistakes and coverage sacks.

Not good enough for the Bills according to some of our fans, but he'll go to New England and now we'll fail to cover him for 2 games this year.
You could have copied and pasted this from a thread about Corey Coleman or Brandon Reilly and it wouldn't surprise me if you actually did.

Did anyone argue with you? I'm surprised in the opposite direction. I would have thought a 6th rounder would get it done.

Yeesh that was really bad. Darnold looked terrible tonight. I know it's still early but yikes.
