    Great post.   I agree with it.  I almost wonder if the only help they would bring in is O-line (so as to not get Allen killed) and let the remainder of the season ride-out.  Lots of appealing FA targets next year that can fill a bunch of other holes.  

     

    I'm excited for this weekend.  I think Allen has a good game.  

    Right now the only way to prevent this house from burning down is put 100% focus on improving the oline. We don't have the time or luxury for worrying about wr's or defensive players. That will have to come later.

    Prediction: Bills will go no huddle on Sunday

    Prediction, no it wont.

     

    You DONT do a no huddle with your first time starting rookie QB and your O Line which has had multiple micues and miscommunications.  

     

    Allens head will be spinning, you get him in the huddle so they can properly call the plays and everyone is one the same page.   This offense is not a "well oiled" machine which is necessary for the no huddle.  You dont want to rush the QB, for the OC to tell him what to look for they are going to have to rush to the line in time for the OC to get a look and the headseat is shut off with 15 seconds to go.

     

    So if you are going to rush it every time, the just means the defense will have that much less time to rest between playing, a real real bad idea.  Last weekend the D was gassed by the end of Q1, LAST thing you want to do is speed the game up.

     

    I cant think of a worse idea then to force an inexperienced QB into a no huddle situation.  He has enough to worry about.

    Said perfectly.  Terrible idea. The only goal in this game is to keep Josh out of the hospital. For every sack given up, the Olineman runs 20 laps. 

    Sadly, McDermott is the wrong guy to develop his own guys

    The hard part is you can't draft a top 10 qb and expect to also draft or acquire 4-5 quality olineman that same year. We pulled the trigger on Allen and I'm happy about. But the frightening part now is how are these scrub olineman going to keep him alive. Obviously we'll be drafting or signing multiple OL guys this spring.  But will it be too late? Aikman hung on for a year but Carr couldn't. Where will Josh fall in this.

    You can't see it?  It's pretty obvious.  Maybe you are just too young and don't have enough life experience.

     

    He short armed the Allen end zone pass because there were defenders around.  He complained about the weather last Sunday and has had other excuses for his lack of production in the past, like blaming Cam Newton lol.  

     

    Also the way he carries himself.  The guy is soft and it is obvious.  I think most people can see it.

     

    Exactly,  if you are emotionally and mentally soft, it doesn't matter how much physicality you have. I say force KB to become a smaller pass catching TE or dump his ass.

    Can you ruin a rookie QB?

    David Carr is the only QB I feel was ruined.  In recent times anyway.

    Carr is the perfect example. Played behind a terrible oline his rookie year and it destroyed him. I just don't want to see Josh Allen suffer the same fate. God I wish we signed a good veteran quarterback rather than stick with Peterman or McCarron.

    I know there were extenuating circumstances, and I know we couldn't realistically pay what the Chiefs, Rams and 49ers did. But could you imagine Sammy, Woods and Goodwin along with Shady and the TEs with Josh flinging it all over?

    Sammy > KB

    Woods > Zay

    Marquise > Foster 

    These boys just had to go out and buy their own toys. I feel so bad for Josh. He's starting  his NFL career with the worst wr's and oline in the entire league, including college.

    Trade for RG3

    Matt Moore maybe. They need another QB somehow. Hope Allen can last the season.  

    Matt Moore, Paxton Lynch or Landry Jones. Any of these 3 would be a decent short term stopgap till Allen is "really" ready. Not ready because the fans and media want to see him now. At the risk of immediate injury. 

    McBeane gave Peterman his shot....

    At this point you have to wonder does Peterman know how to throw a man open, does he process things slowly & because of that is that why he’s not an NFL caliber QB? Either way his lack of velocity, questionable durability, nerves, and unathleticism attribute to what we’ve seen so far on Sunday’s. I’m not sure how someone with so few ideal skills can get many more starts. 

    That's why Peterman's collasall struggles are odd since throwing the man open was supposed to be one of his few strengths? Allen starting this soon behind a terrible OL will have one of 2 outcomes. 

    1 David Carr- he gets the snot knocked out of him and never establishes confidence. 

    2 Troy Aikman- he gets beat up his rookie year and goes on to have an amazing career.

    Why don’t they get another QB in here and cut ties with Peterman. 

    That's the question I'm shocked more people aren't discussing.  Nate may be the nicest guy in the world but he has no business on an NFL field. Not even as a backup. Have any FA QB vets been contacted by Beane? Can Sean still be obsessed with Peterman?

    Unless They Are 110% Sold on Allen, Bills Should Draft Another QB in 2019

    I couldn't agree more with the OP, but the Bills are NOT going to draft a QB with a high draft pick again next year.


    Doesn't mean they shouldn't. 

     

    Whoever said these were smart guys we're talking about any way?

     

    If/when Allen washes out, so will McBeane...and at that point in time they will wish they had taken another top QB prospect to hedge their bet.

     

     

    This is definitely not a bad idea. But I think most regimes believe in drafting around your guy with OL or WR toys. The problem is this team has too many holes like an exhibition team. It's going to take 2 more drafts + FA to fill everything.

    It's obvious he's ready, rawness and all. What's not clear is if the rest of that pathetic offense can do anything to help/protect him. 

    McD better tell his wr's to get separation or I'll run your ass into the ground every week in practice.  Tell this sorry OL to protect JA or you'll be running right alongside KB & Co. I didn't want his on the job training to begin this soon but McB did an awful job choosing PeterPan & McCarron instead of a veteran qb.

    There is no alternative.

     

    Allen shouldn't have been put in this spot by Beane and McDermott. 

    You're right, it's too soon and now we risk him getting injured. God help us.
