Good thing you’re not the one choosing. Barkley only in case of injury at this point.

I think you misread me here. I want Allen to take off and run as it’s a huge factor in games. Barkley isn’t going anywhere. So to that I say no thanks. I want Allen, and he shouldn’t have to “ defend” himself from a helmet to helmet cheap shot.

If Allen doesn’t take off and try to make a play when the coverage is good and the rush breaks through, may as well have Barkley in there. No thanks.

He made a lot of mistakes. We will see if and when his game improves in that area. He’ll get more than a season, and will likely get three. Seems about right, given the investment. Not going to turn to Matt Barkley.

Yes, they need this. Next draft. This team isn’t complete at the skill positions yet.

Yep. They beat NE last year too. The HC is very familiar with the Pats D and were going to see a strong dose of the same stuff. Not optimistic right now, even as much as Mariotta blows.

Lots of young QBs try to force things because they got away with them in college. He’s not even from a big time conference. He may always have some element of that in his game, but I imagine it will decrease considerably as time goes on.

It’s way too early to have the conversation. You start him for 3 years and see what happens. Less than 16 starts ( one year) and you think a coach will bench the 1st round pick for Barkley ? Nonsense.

Well, I’ve been there for about the last 15 years. On the bright side, I like what the team did today and actually saw a fair amount of penalties called vs NE. Yeah, and a lot of it was just inexperience. The Bills did not lose this due to Refs errors/ calls though there were some. They had chances and couldn’t punch it in.

Shocking that there would be a difference between a guy in his 15th start and the supposed GOAT. Unbelievable ! I liked what Daboll was doing in the second half. Don’t see an issue between them.

TUA ? Don’t want that piece of Alabama turd.

It was the definition of leading with his helmet. I’d not have been disappointed if that DB was carted off on a stretcher because he couldn’t move after that hit. Absolutely awful and he deserved to injure himself,

Nope. But they purposely took out JA because the momentum was going our way. I think it’s a strong chance they pull that game out with JA in there. Not a moral victory at all, but I feel much better about this team than if they got worked over by the Pats* offense and got shut out. This team isn’t there yet, but it’s getting there.

Pretty sure it would be an ejection and a game check fine if that was TB. Maybe even a suspension.

I hear the “ Chroise” may be available

I have to agree. Was feeling it with JA in there, especially if they got around the goal line. With Barkley, it was hoping against hope.

Yep, it was and maybe always will be. We can’t change it, but the results on the field will dictate the FO and McDs future.

I wondered that too, though I never like to question playcalling unless it’s glaring ( like run, run, pass Jauron ball or SEA at the goal line in the SB). There’s not a lot to exploit vs that D, and I think Daboll wanted some chunk plays as a long drive against NE likely ends with a BUF mistake. Also because they haven’t really shown it except for a deep shot here and there. Needed to keep them guessing.

Yep. Automatic points vs a chance to stop them

They saw a weakness in the blocking and yes, I think Bojo is kinda slow to react.

Hopefully. I’d be surprised if he makes the TEN game. We are entering the “ money “ portion of the schedule as far as having a path to ten wins goes. A loss to TEN would be much worse than losing to NE. I actually feel pretty good about where they stand right now. They were outgunned vs the Pats but got in a slobberknocker of a game and went to the wire. The season rides on Josh and hm getting more patient and not forcing things.

The Punter is slow to kick, blocking is suspect they saw this on film and took advantage. The punter was exactly the same as he’d been in the other 3 games , the opponent was better. The JA errors were largely unforced , but that punt put points directly on the board.

BB won’t stand for less. Sexy Rexy was OK with his half arsed effort. He gets away with all his holding these days though.

Not sure about others, but my concern with the offense right now is that they probably won’t have Josh Allen. TEN was the must win game, not NE and an injury to JA is one the Bills couldn’t afford.

Challenges are about video evidence, not ref favoritism. A spot challenge is generally a bad one unless blatantly obvious ( which most are not). Challenges thus far on uncalled PI have overwhelmingly not been made under the new rule. So that’s a bad challenge too. The 4th down call needed to be to go for it as your QB was out and you’ve got to be aggressive to win vs New England. No use just keeping it close and your D was having a great day. The John Brown pass was a great call and even the pass to Jones probably should have been a TD. If they ran and got stuffed everyone would say they were too conservative and NE knew they would run with Barkley in there.
