All time best in his first 25 games. Pretty good bet there.

Just those 3? Obviously Luck should have. Goff ? Lots of issues in his game right now. Wentz ? Might have been better off with Foles. Anyway, I don’t know how many first round guys did and did not get that deal at that point, haven’t looked it up. Pretty sure quite a few have not. If the Bills end up in the Conference championship or even in the Super Bowl you do it then. If not, you wait apparently. That’s what it seems like.

Sure, but can you blame them ? He couldn’t throw like an NFL QB. I think what you described is the plan, but things would have to be pretty bad for them to pull the plug. It could get there, but it’s not trending in that direction. At some point though, cap room will get used up etc etc.

That’s a realistic possibility. Although, a look around the league would probably say it’s not likely. How many ( first round) guys get an extension before playing on their 5th year option ?

Interesting. I’m going to bet that the Bills don’t make a long term decision on Allen by then. Probably 5th year option at minimum unless things really go south.

Well yeah, never is a long time. Allen will not be given until never to do this ( barring an unbelievable winning %). He will be gone long before that, but it’s still too soon and no long term decision is imminent by the Bills FO.

Yeah, I’d love for Josh Allen to pass for 300+ yards and move the offense at will with his arm. If it hasn’t happened by the time they have to pick up his fifth year option it will be concerning. Until then, I’ll be satisfied if he just QBs them to wins.

Title is more clear, but I don’t think many on the board were putting them in the all time great category. Not a ton to complain about defensively thus far this season.

Yeah, there’s some variation. The roots for their Ds are in the Belichick system though. I agree it’s troubling , and teams are going to continue to send blitzes until they handle it. Not sure if theyre going to have players standing up around the line, but they won’t be afraid to blitz. It’s a major problem on offense right now.

I’d do that too if the Bills had Dallas Oline , Prescott , Elliott etc. I can see not being too risky with Josh Allen in there at this point.

I thought they were better with Foles, but many said otherwise. I still think they were.

Yep. A quirk if the schedule that the Bills faced NE, then TEN and MIA that obviously have connections to NE and roots in that system. They’ve struggles with it, but not sure say Schwartz is gonna deviate from his wide 9 and put that in. Lots of coaches are married to their systems , including the Bills coaches.

Bills were facing the third straight team on their schedule that runs a version of the Pats* defense. The players milling around the line was no surprise. I’m not sure how many teams that don’t run that D will deviate from their system to try it.

Blitz pickup issues but the Bills D rarely blitzes so don’t think we’ll see much of that.

Playing better vs the Eagles ?

Well he was an ex Bill too

Wasn’t that Brown that got cut ?

Then it’s a pretty good bet that it won’t go in the books as a sack. Thought it was odd myself, but usually the ball gets thrown on those kinds of plays.

Has anyone on this board made claims to the Super Bowl at this point ? I haven’t seen it. Pretty generally accepted that a WC spot is the Bills most likely way into the playoffs and beating NE would probably be required to advance that far.

Love the 5-1 record. In no way do I think this Bills team is a finished product yet. Still a few positional needs and a young, still rough around the edges QB.

So do I, but it’s just not in their defensive philosophy. An elite DE obviously helps the rush and it’s their main weakness , as well as LB depth.

The Bills defense is pretty good, one of the better units in the NFL. They had an off day by their current standards. They will never be confused with the ‘85 bears or the 2000 Ravens.

No one in their right mind compared this year’s Bills D to the 2000 Ravens. In the current NFL, they can put a team in great position to win a lot of games. They’re winning while the offense is still figuring things out. There are worse things that could happen.

Yeah, I’d rather face them coming in off a loss.

Hmmmmm. Good chance PHL is coming in off a loss. Sloppy turnovers.
