Lot of the young guys looked good today

I like that you show up win or lose. As you know at least one critic admitted this past week he only shows up when the team loses. Pathetic really. Solid game byAllen today.

Solid effort except for kickoff coverage

Carmel. Tonawanda originally.

Obvious makeup call. Blew the spot on the third down pass, call a phantom hold to make up for it.

He was just hurt yesterday. Give them time to do testing and such.

The damage he has leads to altered blood supply to the joint and then osteonecrosis. Necrosis takes time to develop

Ok boys, don’t worry about matriculating the ball down the field. Just kick their butts!

Yeah. I think the bit about playing fearless relates to this somewhat. Allen needs to play the first three quarters like he plays the fourth.

Facts are otherwise.

Allen comes through in the fourth quarter. Taylor didn’t. Big difference.

good take.

I hope so. I think they come out with a sense of urgency.

I would have loved to see them play each other. I think our defense would have been up to the task of Lombardi and the power sweep.

Right back at ya!

There you go. I predicted it. If he hits one next game or shows history of such, it will then be he needs to do it more often. I really wonder, if he hits two long balls and throws for over 300 Sunday, what the next thing folks will find to criticize?

Sullivan likes to make himself part of the story

Let’s hope not

I think it’s fine to criticize. For example, I was very critical of Allen throwing those dumb passes across his body back into the middle of the field. You’re critical of the long ball. The difference is you and I are here discussing things each week, win or lose. I think it’s really sad to only show up after losses. It would be great if they hit a deep pass. I don’t happen to think it’s the be all and end all of success, since I think at most 5% of throws go that far in the air. I’d rather see him throw a 10 yard pass to Singletary and let him run 30 yards. Allen has improvements to make, mostly reading coverages and making good decisions where to go with the ball. No one I see on this board thinks he’s a finished product. Now let let me ask you something in return. Say they hit the long pass Sunday. Will your response be: Great! Or will it be something more along the lines of one pass doesn’t mean anything, need to do it consistently? Or something like it was a bad throw and the WR bailed him out? Or put another way, what will be the next thing folks will imagine up to heap criticism on a young QB?

It is truly sad when purported fans of a football team only show up after losses to criticize. Truly, truly sad. Do you think it's inappropriate to acknowledge a kid that comes through in the fourth quarter of games? Do you think it's inappropriate to acknowledge the team has a 6-3 record? Allen needs to improve. No one says otherwise. You only choose to say it to bask in the glow of a loss. Sad, sad, sad.

Lines. Dominate up front you do pretty well as a football team.

Here I am. You have no credibility judging Qbs given your Winston thing. You come off as being an expert, yet you have never to my knowledge informed anyone here if you have a history as a football coach, have a history as a Qb, etc. Thus your opinion is no better (or worse ) than any one else around here, other than the glaring miss on Winston. Why don't you just simply say you screwed up on Winston? Allen needs to continue improving. Not one person argues that point. As he continues progressing and learning he should get better. What I say is this: any young QB that can have as many good fourth quarter comebacks as he has (as yes, if he plays better the first three quarters it may not be as necessary) is worth continuing to develop.

Bingo.

Well stated

And that shows your lack of understanding.
