I think if Zay fights even a little for 2 of those balls they aren't interceptions and the outcome of the game is different, even with Allen getting knocked out in the 4th.

What a scumbag. Trump, with a phone call agreement and abrupt withdrawal of troops, has now made our country directly responsible for at least 100,000 civilians to be displaced from their homes and (last I checked) at least 20 deaths, with half of those being civilians. Literally just within a couple days after we withdraw troops, Turkey basically declares war as some Kurds fight back and others abandon posts, like those imprisoning ISIS fighters. Bu..bu..but WHY would Trump make this type of sporadic phone call agreement with the President of Turkey????

Yeah. Fox News might actually be coming back to reality a little bit and the conspiracy theorists Hannity and Inghram losing some steam with guys like Chris Wallace and Shep Smith getting it back.

Just to show it visually... From the Presidential propaganda machine itself.

I don't know who knows about this, but there was a poster in one of the other Duke threads at the end of the preseason who alluded to a bunch of physical problems/injuries Duke had right around the Combine that affected his combine numbers negatively. If that poster is reading this I hope he/she can enlighten us on those issues. I'm curious because if you look up some of his stuff going back as far back as High School, there are some references to a 4.3 40 time. One myth has pretty clearly been debunked already: Duke is NOT too slow to play WR in the NFL and should NOT be converted to TE.

Feel free to form an opinion on how he played by actually watching the damn game.

Are people taking away his best play statistically just 'cause? Really? Okay, then take away his worst play, too. 22/30 (73.3%) for 169 yards, 2 TDs and 0 Interceptions. Pretty efficient game

You have such frustratingly horrible logic, and this is a solid example of it here.

Is there a team with a bottom ranked D that has 4 or more wins right now?

3rd in the NFL passer rating in the 4th quarter. Considering the Bills have only led in one 4th quarter so far this season and the Bills are 4-1, seems he's damn good when it counts. But he (and the offense) absolutely needs more consistency.

https://theathletic.com/1274413/2019/10/08/bills-film-room-how-the-game-plan-and-josh-allens-distribution-opened-up-the-offense/ With his performance, Allen ranked fifth in Pro Football Focus’ adjusted completion percentage for Week 5, with an 85.7 percent accuracy rating. A lot of that had to do with the line giving him the time to scan the field at his own pace.

Wow, makin that 6,000 mile flight to be in WNY for the holiday season? Good for you! My favorite time to visit! I'm actually here right now and super bummed the 2 Sundays I'm here are the Titans game the other day and our bye week. Oh well... gotta go off the public school breaks.

So sensitive! Fact of the matter is that some posters thought Zay should have never been on the team at all this year. @Alphadawg7 being the first on board probably. I wish no I'll will on Zay, I just don't think he belongs on a football field until he gets his head straight, which might be never. From the time in the preseason that he couldn't reel in that pass from Allen by the EZ before getting hit, which coincided with the rise of Duuuuuuuke, a number of us wanted Zay off the team in large part so Duke could be on. Zay just sucks right now and has for his career. Yes, expectations were high for him, so that factors in, but I can't remember a Wr we've had that I whoop out of near shock so loud when he actually catches the football. And sadly that's not hyperbole. Happy trails Zay, I hope you turn your career around, but I'm happy I never have to type your name in on my tablet and get "Zay" automatically changed to "Say" again!

Yeah that's why I'm happy we got a 5th, even if it's in 2021. Really wish we traded him before the season when his value was at its peak. I guess Beane just really liked the kid and wanted to give him another shot.

Without reading 18 pages, are the posters like @JoPar_v2 @LSHMEAB & @LOVEMESOMEBILLS hiding right now or are they owning up to Zay not being the "established NFL WR" some on here believe he was? I can't believe we got a 5th for him! Even if it's for 2021. Great job Beane!

The issue has been solved and yet, as you state yourself, there are still naysayers. Shady, do you know what a paradox is?

Nowhere near them? Colts just beat the Chiefs. Bills lost last weekend to the Pats by 6 points in a game where they scored a a Td on a blocked punt and our starting QB threw 3 interceptions. Not to mention Allen getting knocked out of the game for the entire 4th quarter after seemingly starting to figure things out. The Bills might be #3 in the AFC, but it's not a distant 3rd.

I'm actually glad he's injured, as weird as it might be. I thought he was in the doghouse. Once he's healthy, cut or trade Zay, please.

Who cares if it is? 200 yards and 3 TDs and, most importantly, the W will do.

New name, same ole whiny needy Shady

At the risk of the Mahomes talk continuing, a couple thoughts: Mahomes is a great QB and will continue to be a great QB for his entire career, health pending. BUT... He sat for a year behind a really good veteran QB under the tutelage of a Head Coach with tons of history in developing QBs. And for as much as he was labelled ad "raw" coming out of College, he had 600 more college passing attempts on a D1 team whose competition was significantly greater than that of what Allen saw in Wyoming. And you can go as far back as High School to find the lack of specialization or QB camps that all QBs who wind up in the NFL likely go through. Amazingly, Allen still has A LOT to learn in the NFL game. But you can see strides from last season he's made with regard to accuracy and especially decision making. Right now Allen is still learning while playing, and it's obvious. I don't know that Allen will ever be as good as Mahomes--who is certainly on the trajectory to be the best QB in NFL history statistically--but as cliche as this argument might be, Mahomes wouldn't have been Mahomes in Buffalo. He would have been forced into the starting lineup in 2017 when Taylor struggled in that Rick Dennison offense with a putrid OL and horrible WR corps and Mahomes wouldn't have been putting up the video game numbers he puts up in KC. Mahomes has had a great team and a great coach surrounding him the last 2 years. And he's been great. None of those things are mutually exclusive. Last year our Defense was great but our offense was bad, particularly at OL and WR. The Bills are still putting the pieces around Allen, and I don't think McBeane are done yet. But with those added pieces, you can SEE the improvements, even if the stats aren't reflected there. So while I honestly don't think it's reasonable to expect Allen to be better than Mahomes, over the span of their careers I do believe it's possible Allen can be the Jim Kelly to Mahomes's Marino. Give Mahomes the statistics and personal accolades. Give us the Championships... just make them NFL Championships rather than Conference
