I am willing to delete the thread as it has created more animosity than I intended.

All about making pre-snap reads. Peterman is quicker than Allen.

It is an honest question, and like many here when I don't like decisions I voice it. Like Ducasse. That is different than those who continually look for the negative in everything with the team. I wonder why. I also could have, and maybe should have, written a similar thread about those who think the Bills are unicorns and rainbows despite obvious flaws. In that case their love for team clouds rational judgment. But when negative all the time? Why would you want to be like that? You and I have gone at it since BBMB days because I call out your false sense of intellectual superiority. And do it is again here. Someone above who actually addressed the issue suggested it is a defense mechanism for some fans. Sounds about right.

As usual you completely misinterpret the question. My question is one of motivation. What motivates a fan of a team to want to be so negative? Is it a defense mechanism? What is it?

You all know what I'm talking about. There are some posters who do nothing but post negatives. Why?

Was hoping they'd take Watson myself

I am not saying there should be censorship of negative posts. I am asking what the motivation is for doing so, when there are posters who specialize in such. I happen to to agree with your thoughts on the O line. I disagree about comparing the current GM and HC to what has been done for decades; it is comparing apples and oranges. Such dialog seems much more reasonable than just spewing negativity about anything and everything.

That's amusing

At some point is true. Not just right now

No, I hope I'm wrong actually. That would mean Peterman is playing well. But Allen has physical skills Nate will never have.

How many QBs last year threw no interceptions?

I expect Allen will start at some point this year.

The biggest issue with this is who holds for Hauschka

How does he develop? Practice. Film study.

Nice way of not answering the question. If all one can offer are negative comments, then the question is why. What does one get out of doing so?

Are they both not fast?

The question posed in the OP: why are we not signing WRs with speed? And we have Foster and Ray Ray. There you go

Foster and Ray Ray

I would hope they're looking at other linemen. But I am intrigued to see what a Daboll offense does. I don't think we've really seen what he has in store yet.

I am very surprised; I thought McCarron was better and would thrive when he got his shot. But he didn't and Peterman really came on. So with Peterman playing better and Allen showing positives we wind up where I thought we'd be

So now we're going to put qualifiers on game winning runs?

Colts game last year in OT

Somewhere from 6-8 wins. Worried about the interior of the O line, but I'm not sure they're done tweaking there. The D will be OK.

But Charlie remains optimistic! The last two sentences make sense to me. It's some kind of defense mechanism.

I would have liked Rosen but nowhere did I say Allen was a bum. I prefer to actually see what happens before criticizing.
