I know, the mods will probably end this thread because they think it's a joke, but hear me out: possibly the lone positive thing Bill's fans can agree on about Whaley's tenure was that he was an ace at reclamation projects, pulling guys like Jerry Hughes into the fold for duds like Kelvin Sheppard, just to name one.
Should the Bills bring back Whaley, just as a pro scout? I bet he would work for cheap, too. Hairbrained plot, or stroke of genius? You tell me.
Man when will the nonsense end. Buddy nix was the GM when Hughes was brought here. So do you want Buddy back?

We went very conservative in the 2nd half & it resulted in 6 consecutive punts. While I agree that is the prudent strategy through the 3rd quarter (if we can score 27 in a 1/2, they can score 28), once you know the game is in hand, say the start of the 4th, why not treat it as a practice/preseason game?
You've got a very inexperienced QB that certainly could use the learning opportunity.
It was used. Have ti be able to execute even though they know whats coming. Trust the process.

Also if you hadnt noticed Barr was the spy on allen all day.

Id rather sign the guy that works at your local car wash.

So far, I'm not seeing many rookie tendencies. He uses the whole field, has no favorite receiver, his touch passes improve every week and it's just a matter of time before he starts to hit the home run ball. The greatest weakness is he doesn't have experience and may be susceptible to "new" defenses.
This is exactly what I was thinking. The only tendency i can see is not giving up, i.e running, and running when three guys are on you. They showed a graphic of him uaing all most all of the receivers. As far as I can tell he hasnt shown a specific liking to an individual or collection of few plays either.

Of all the things that stood out today, the consistent pressure from the D-line was the biggest surprise. Pressure up the middle that kept Cousins from stepping up, allowing the ends to wreak havoc. And it kept up thoughout the game, even when the defense may have been expected to be a bit tired in the second half.
Not sure I've seen that effective pf DL-play in the McD era. Kudos to everyone involved...
They bought in to the defense. The process.

The process is a changing morphing narrative. We lose badly, "the process takes a while", we win an insane upset, "exactly what the process meant to do." That's the myth. I just like to follow a game, season to date of success and see if we're playing well.
Wasn't a process, we just kicked Vikings ***, and it feels great!
No there was a clear buy in. You dont believe the headcoach in any manner to which he’s accustomed to coaching or doing things (the process) can be contributed towards the win. If you say no you are deliberately being obtuse.

Oh it was talked about; ridiculed by those aspiring gms that know absolutely nothing about football on this board.

If you Factor in the descion to pass on Mahomes , the current state of the roster, the fact that they made a major investment in Allen , who is far from a sure thing, the jettisone of any player whith the slightest quirk in his personality this is the wost group to run the organization since Pollian took over.
This is the worst thread I have seen since Polian left.

“Limited Excitement”
The Bills stumbled to another loss in the first home game of their 2018 campaign. It wasn’t as ugly as the loss to the Ravens a week ago, but it wasn’t a lot better, either. The game wasn’t as close as the 31-20 score might suggest.
It was an odd day at New Era Field, not the usual home opener. The excitement of the draft had ebbed by the start of training camp, and preseason games had left the fans scratching their heads. The blow out loss at Baltimore crushed their spirit. Sunday at New Era, there was very little of the typical opening day excitement. There was hope – there’s always hope – but no excitement. And it was hot, so the fans had wilted before the game began.
Still, the fans made noise, in the beginning. The defense responded with a three and out on the Chargers’ opening drive, but after the Bills’ offense went three and out themselves, it began to look like Baltimore all over again. Rivers was All-World, and it looked like the Bills defense was an open book to him. He had no pressure, no trouble finding open receivers, and no trouble hitting them. It wasn’t long before the fans got quiet.
It was somber where I sit. For the past six years, I’ve sat behind a family with four tickets. Opening day always was the father and his three fifty-something sons. Dad went to his first Bills game in 1960 and bought these season tickets in 1985. Families like those can be found all over the stadium. Sunday, only one of the sons and his son were there; Dad had died in June, 82 years old and 58 years a Bills fan. It was a sad day in our section, and the Bills did little to change the mood.
The Bills woke up a bit in the second quarter, but their general futility and the heat drove many fans out of the stadium at half-time. The Bills actually looked competitive in the third quarter. They had some success on offense and, mercifully, on defense. The score, if not the game, approached respectability, but fans continued to leave. A skeleton crew was left to make noise in the fourth quarter as the Bills mustered a last-ditch effort to get back into the game.
The fans wore the usual collection of vintage jerseys – Kelly, Smith, Reed, Fitzpatrick – with several 13s on display to honor Stevie’s return to New Era to wave the flag as the Bills took the field. A few Edmunds 49 jerseys, and more than a few Josh Allen 17s.
The rookies didn’t disappoint – they looked like rookies.
Allen is, without question, the best QB the Bills have. He showed that. His throws are things of beauty – powerful sometimes, nice touch on swing passes, accurate throws off balance or on the run. The guy is a great, great thrower.
Turns out he’s also an excellent runner, and the Bills decided to put the League on notice. The Bills ran the read option several times, and Allen wasn’t afraid to keep it. He’s not going to earn a living toting the pigskin, but he’s going to keep defenses honest.
And he can scramble. He can break tackles in the backfield, he can move around. He can stay upright with a tackler on him.
And still, Allen plays like a rookie. He holds the ball too long. He seems to lose concentration on some of his passes. He throws an occasional fast ball when a little more air would help.
Oddly, I think his two interceptions were positive plays. The first was a remarkable effort on Allen’s part to stay upright, looking downfield with a tackler hanging on him. He waited, waited and finally saw the window he thought he could hit. Turns out he couldn’t, but he’ll learn. Great play. The comparisons to Roethlisberger are easy to see.
The second INT happened in that part of the game where the QB needs to take chances to get his team back in it. Allen saw the opportunity and took the chance. He will learn from that throw, too. He needs to take those chances to learn how to execute under game pressure.
18 for 33 and 245 yards with a TD and two okay INTs was a good outing for a rookie’s first start in the NFL. Five sacks is not good. A few sacks weren’t on him, but a couple should have been avoided. One was the corner blitz that he should have seen and didn’t.
The offensive line, of course, did Allen few favors. And Daboll’s passing schemes are creating few open targets for Allen.
Edmunds continued to mix solid plays with late reads and misreads, getting caught in the wash on some running plays, being left flat-footed on many passing plays. He’s on the field for virtually every play, and he should be learning, play after play. In the meantime, QBs like Rivers will pick on him regularly.
Most troubling about the Bills is their general disarray. Marcus Murphy made key mistakes in the punting game, refusing to fair catch one ball, and lining up what looked like 60 yards from the line of scrimmage on another. He ran up 15 yards and still only could short-hop the catch.
Critical penalties, again.
McDermott taking over defensive play calling. That shouldn’t be necessary; he and Frazier should be on the same page by now.
Vontae Davis? His disappearing act begs the question: Do Beane and McDermott actually know what they’re doing? They preach character and they couldn’t figure out Davis had nothing left in the tank?
Most courageous play of the game? Taiwan Jones, hands down. His recovery of Murphy’s fumble or muff or whatever that was, and his absolute refusal to go down as he tried to get the ball out of the end zone was awesome. However, maybe I don’t know the rules, and maybe Jones didn’t either, because apparently there was no need to run the ball out, as the officials ruled that the play was a touchback.
Runner up? McCoy getting back on the field to see if he could go. Bills desperately need McCoy on the field. The guy is special, and a gamer, and Allen needs the help.
If McDermott’s the coach his clippings say he is, this team will continue to improve and begin winning some games. He has the quarterback to do it, but a lot of questions remain.
GO BILLS!!!

Man you should write for the bills. More clarity, thought, and relevance in your article than anything from the bills pr in a while. Good honest piece.

Since when was the vikings game a disaster? I think you need to reevaluate your ability to understand what is going on in a game if the vikings game was a disaster.
