On the other hand Allen gets injured and sidelined in part to Beane doing a poor job replacing Buffalo's 2 best lineman IMO. McCarron gets injured in preseason for the same reason then gets sent packing in favor of the so called pro's pro Peterman leaving the Bills practically zero experience at the QB position. Our best WR gets traded in Watkins replaced by KB. Don't get me wrong, Josh Allen may turn out to be the MVP/pick in the history of the franchise. Do we even know for sure the driving force behind the Allen pick?

Eli and the G men have been hard for me to hate despite the heartbreaking loss to the Giants in the Superbowl. Maybe because I blame Norwide for the loss more then anything... ...damn kickers...

Thanks for explaining, Myself personally, without Rodgers I wouldn't be giving the Packers much thought.

McD's approch to winning football games so far has been somewhat conservative with a run heavy ball control O and good D to back it up IMO. I do however think T Mobile behind center and the limited experience of the rookie Allen plays a part in McD's approach.

No, not at all, but If you think about it Kitchens had all the leverage he needed in my humble opinion.

Bookmarked, thanks Buddy

Thanks, much appreciated. You are correct.

Mind supplying a link that supports your post. ( targeted like a 1 ) Most targeting stats/rankings include TE's and RB's.

I don't think Zay was targeted like a #1, and our #1 in KB was a joke which doesn't help matters because it allows the opposition the ability to focus more on #2 WR IMO. Rookie QB on a team near the bottom of the league in attempts. I'm not sure what the ranking are supposed to tell you. My eye test tells me Zay Jones is developing good chemistry with Josh Allen. Myself personally, I'm expecting a break out season from Jones next season.

Nice call on Barkley I like how you think...

Take away the 2nd best D in the league and we might be drafting 1st overall in the next draft. I'm just saying...

Its awesome IMO.

Shaw simply pointed out Zay Jones is middle of the pack as a # 2 in his 2nd season under not so great conditions. Looks like Alpha did some heavy partying over New Years because his reply missed the mark IMO. With all due respect to Alpha because we normally see eye to eye. Zay what ? (to all the skeptics) Zay, give him a chance, and lets continue this discussion at the end of next season...

The 10 + yards per pass attempt helps illustrate the lower number of check down/higher percentage plays most rookie QB's would take advantage of IMO. I'm not saying its always a good stat to have depending on the circumstances, but it suggests to me no play is to big for Josh Allen including 3rd and forever. (20 +) We've seen Big Ben make the same kind of 20+ throws for a 1st down on many occasions. I agree, both Allen and Edmunds are a work in progress. Stats don't lie. Rookie mistakes while leading the youngest team in the league resulted in a losing record. With that being said the Buffalo Bills ended the year with allot of high expectations for next season. 10 - 6 OR BETTER sounds about right to me.

Both Fitz and Josh Allen by way of wonderlic are two of the smartest QB's in the league. Also two of the most fearless. Difference being one is a savvy vet, the other a rookie learning on the run. (literally) Fitzy lacks the sufficient arm strength it takes to succeed at a high level in the NFL IMO. Allen on the other hand/arm at times, has to much arm strength on display. Myself personally, the progress Josh Allen has made as a rookie in a not so perfect situation around him has been impressive. My hat goes off to the posters that wanted to see Allen on the field sooner vs later and I feel like we are one season ahead of schedule now because of it. I'm into stats myself and have used them in many discussions. Speaking of stats, Josh Allen 10 + yards per pass attempt average was higher then any QB in the NFL.

When you take into consideration the below average pass protection/ supporting cast. The drops, the lazy route running by our #1. ( If you can call him that) Then take into account the leadership, grit and determination Josh Allen displayed/provided, literally carrying the team on his back at times. The athleticism, biggest cannon the NFL has ever seen, the on the edge of your seat entertainment every time Josh Allen touches the ball. All things considered/ combined. Stats really don't tell the whole story in my humble opinion Shaw.

Just a little, lol I've been asking, ok, begging Santa for a franchise QB to long my friend,

Lol, good stuff

Once upon a time an athlete by the name of Cam Newton was created by the football Gods. Bringing forth the New Era power forward/QB into the NFL. As Newton commenced to breaking records on the ground and through the air, ripping a new A hole into opposing Defenses across the league. "We can make him stronger, and we can make him smarter "said one football God to another, and to make things more interesting we will make him one Buffalo strong. The other football God chuckled and said "4 straight superbowl losses, no QB to speak of for almost 2 decades, I like that idea, lets make him one Buffalo strong. and name him Josh Allen...

The athleticism of Josh Allen is doing a good job making a below average Oline suffice in my humble opinion. I do however agree with you on the McCoy/ role player/ less money comment and would prefer Ivory as the featured Bills RB next season. (Along with drafting a rookie)

Yes, Allens 1st season as a rookie was very entertaining for me. Haven't been this optimistic in ages. Watching the future of the franchise show the football world why the Buffalo Bills picked him was awesome.

Thanks so much Shaw for the enjoyable reviews this season. Kyle Williams exemplifies the kind of player/man Bills HC McD wants to see playing for him in my humble opinion. What Williams brought to the table is something that will live on in our young core of players. It was kind of a bitter,sweet game for me watching Williams in a Bills uni for the last time, sad because a player/person like Kyle Williams can never be replaced on or off the field. Happy because we had the honor of watching him begin and end his pro football career one Buffalo strong. Myself personally, despite the losing record the season will be a memorable one. Josh Allens development is much further along then one would have expected at this point. Bills D was oh so close to ending the regular season top dog in the NFL. The future looks bright. Thanks again OP for all you do and a closer look at Kyle Williams is something I'll look forward to reading. Have a safe and happy New Year everyone.

and smoking weed makes some people happy, So stick that in your pipe and smoke it...

Myself personally, Allens pocket awareness and throwing mechanics have continued to improve in my humble opinion. It would not surprise me to see Josh Allens accuracy problems become a thing of the past as Buffalo upgrades the supporting cast around him. The sky really is the limit with this kid IMO.

From my coach potato perspective Shaw I thought you guys did a great job and was actually surprised at how loud and fired up Bills/fans appeared to be in a meaningless game. Josh Allen might have something to do with it. Well done fellas. Another enjoyable read per the usual OP, much appreciated. Stay safe through the holidays everyone.
