He should sit the remainder of the season, and I think that he will. League is going to come down hard with players involved in tonight’s donnybrook.

It’s an average to slightly above average team, so I don’t think they will dominate games. Dolphins haven’t been dominated lately, and aren’t that bad with ( good) Fitz.

Today ? Sure. I hate him, but I’d take it. Years down the road ? Pass.

Probably, and that shows just how lacking the Bills are in offensive weapons. They have 2 WRs that should be on an NFL roster .

Lack of elite talent/ matchups at WR/ TE Sloppy execution/ penalties poor offensive scheme/ strange playcalls for down / distance mediocre QB play at times

Conjecture. It would certainly be interesting to see what happened, but ten games seems to be a stretch. Since we can’t put him in that situation, its impossible to prove. I would guess 10 is too many.

So the guy who sat for years of “training “ was only marginally better than a raw rookie who should have sat his first year, plus 9 games into year 2. Taylor was also throwing to Robert Woods, Sammy Watkins, LeSean McCoy, et al. Not ideal, but Allen has probably shown enough to get a third year with some additional weapons on the offense besides Brown and Beasley. Allen needs to improve and finish the season on an upward trajectory. He hasn’t had a very good game since TEN and that has to change. My guess is they add to the offense and make a decision on Allen after next season. If Allen slumps and declines over the last seven games that would probably change their outlook.

Where did I call you a hater? I’m far from a fanboy. Just guessing what the team might realistically do. Of course it’s a possibility ;there are still 7 regular season games left. Those QBs you mentioned performed far worse than Allen. I would have moved on too.

It’s easier, but that’s only part of the equation. Bills do have tons of cap room. Allen haters are convinced that he’s not the guy, but I’m not certain the Bills ( or any NFL team for that matter) would cut bait so quickly. I think he probably gets a third year.

Best K in Bills history. Yes, it’s too bad he wasn’t on the team in 1990.

I think he can continue to improve, but it depends on the overall picture at season’s end. If I had to conjure a guess, the Bills ( and most NFL teams) wouldn’t move on until after year 3 for a high draft pick QB. Barring a major decline, he’s here for 2020 season. Short of signing a proven NFL QB, they will go with that possibility over a rookie .They have a lot of cap room and another draft to add to the currently incomplete offense. A top WR, OT and possibly even TE should be added. If Allen flounders with a solid group of weapons around him, they will move on. I could be wrong of course. They could draft a QB in the next draft or even sign a FA. Just my best guess about what they will do.

I don’t appreciate the name calling so don’t stoop to that level. If you can’t have a civil discussion then move on.

Lol you must watch CNN religiously. He took advantage of a few unfortunate incidents to advance an anti cop anti Caucasian agenda, Even wearing socks depicting cartoon pigs in police uniforms. Yes, he disrespected Police and is supportive of criminals including some who have killed police. He’s a mediocre ballplayer and basically pond scum. Glad you think he’s a great guy, but I can’t agree with you.

Actually, I just watched the Chiefs do a variation of what you described Vs TEN and it worked like a charm. Didn’t seem like anything Allen couldn’t do either. They used motion to draw a defender to the right side of the field , leaving the left side wide open. Hill ran a corner route to the open ( left) side. Perfect, and uncoverable according to Romo. One read, two second throw. Another WR was open in the middle of the EZ, but looked like Mahomes knew he was throwing the corner the whole time. There were about 7 mins left in the 3rd quarter. Perfectly designed cover zero beater. Any speed WR could beat that coverage, although obviously Hill is great at it. Would have been an easier completion than the route they tried vs CLE imo

Half seems like a high percentage in this day and age. Can’t assess them with another team vs how they would do here though. Different teams, schemes , situations all are factors. No need to do that as the same could be said for most other teams. Not all drafted players stick with their original teams for various reasons. Some players are late bloomers or need a different system. These things happen; I’m primarily concerned with how the Bills players perform.

It probably takes two or 3 seasons to grade a draft class , so any mid season year one grade is provisional at best. Some good players have started slow out of the gate, and others burst on the scene only to fizzle out in a season or two. So any grading this year should be taken with the proverbial dose of salt. It’s safe to say that none of the Bills draft picks have outperformed their slot with the possible exception of Singletary. Others have flashed while struggling with consistency ( Knox) , and some have simply struggled ( Ford). Seasons end would be a good time to grade McDs first draft (2017) with just 7 regular season games worth of storyline to be written. Hopefully that end doesn’t come in week 17. I strongly disagree. Smith-Schuster would be a main component of the Bills WR Corp right now if they had drafted him.

I’m pretty sure it can be underhand, but it has to be forward. If it’s a lateral or a backwards pitch, then it’s a fumble.

Pure fallacy. Getting too far away from football here, but no right to protest while on the job. Anyway, he’s a mediocre QB and a terrible human.

Bingo. I wouldn’t care if he could play like Mahomes. I still would never root for him. Some things are just more important than football.

If you think’ he’s just like Josh Allen, why bring him in ? What good is an older Allen with no potential to improve ? Pursue other options than Kaep.

Better than what ? The game isn’t until week 16.

Good teams can run the ball even when the defense is expecting it.

Yep, good work and very interesting. It seems that the QB you describe is not a myth, but exists only in the rarified air that all fans want their QB to occupy. There are only a few of these around; some are near the end of their storied careers and a few notable others are off to a great start to take their place. If you win that QB lottery your team can be set for 10-15 years or more ( these days). When it doesn’t happen fans want to bang their fists on the table, calling for firings all around. It’s just a total crapshoot, and fans today only want to wait about a season and a half before moving on to another guy. So what to do ? A GM could probably draft a 1st round QB every year for 5 years and still not end up with one of your 4 truly elite guys. It’s notable that zero NFL teams do this. Fwiw the Bills are probably going to stick with Josh Allen until the end of the 2020 season, though many already want him gone. It appears all us fans can do is be patient, but if you’re waiting for that top 5 elite guy your favorite team might not ever get one.

So you would just draft a QB in the first round every year, give them each about 20 games before moving on to the next guy. Hopefully, you’d get a winning lottery ticket that can do it all out of the gate before being fired. It hasn’t happened yet with Allen and maybe never will, but I’d guess they stick with him until the end of 2020 season. After that, probably big changes again and maybe Beane gets one more shot to find QB gold or it’s a new GM.

So as the Bills OC, how would you scheme plays to minimize those issues while Allen develops ?
