Holy crap... I didn't realize this was going to deteriorate into the realm of Infowars vs. CNN. I'm just excited about Allen and, living in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, get very very little Bills coverage out here so it bodes well for my viewing habits personally for Allen to start getting this national buzz. But it's not just media, respected film guys, too

So... troll...??? Blind homer...? I'm having such a hard time figuring it out. I just wonder if you're even going to cheer for Allen when he's the starting QB this year.

And you are evidently Nate Peterman's wife. You called Peterman's performance "near perfect" and that is factually incorrect to the point of being laughable. His first 2 drives he looked absolutely lost the entire time--all 6 plays since it was 2 straight 3 & outs. 1st pass shoulda been yet another pick. Next play sacked. 3 & out Next pass was simply a badly inaccurate pass. Next play he tries passing the ball 2 yards past the LOS as he's running towards the sidelines. Next play he believes he's some uber athletic QB and ends up scrambling on a 3rd and 13. That's how he started. No matter what follows that, anyone who calls his play "near perfect" after a start like that is either a blind homer or a troll.

Evidently you missed his 1st 2 drives (that 1st pass alone was a doozy... typically Peterman though) and weren't paying attention to the busted coverages he was a beneficiary of when he was playing against scrubs.

Eh, they're just saying what most Bills fans watching the team closely since OTAs have been thinking... they're just a little late to the party... along with a select handful of Bills fans

Nope. They don't always... for sure. That doesn't mean they're wrong. And it is, notably, such an overwhelming response, though... with some pretty well respected "film guys" (Miller & Prisco) thrown in there, as well. With his very first throw tonight Peterman convinced me he's either out of the starting job already or will be yanked absolutely no later than mid-season. Dude's clearly not an NFL starting QB.

God, that describes him perfectly... incredible how the Peterman nuts are still clinging.

It's been an ongoing poll since OTAs. People are free to change their votes, but personally I think even without McCarron's injury tonight, he wasn't starting.

Oh wow... I legitimately thought that game would have turned the corner for you, but you're just clinging for dear life, aren't you? Peterman's very 1st pass tonight is exactly the reason he's going to spend the vast majority, if not all, of this year on the bench. And even after that throw Peterman was still awful for a drive or two... he was close to fumbling getting hit from behind a few times there. His stat line looks good courtesy of a massively busted coverage. What he showed to me tonight is that the narrative that his arm strength is improved significantly enough to make a difference is a false narrative. Allen will start this year. If not in week 1, it's going to be at some point probably in the first half of the season after Peterman collapses, which very well could be in Baltimore, who is probably salivating at the notion of jumping routes and collecting INTs from him to start off their season.

This is you being sarcastic, right?

McCarron with a hairline fracture on his collarbone. Peterman is clearly hurt in the knee(s) at the end of that game. Allen is going to start, but who do we get to back him up?

Man... I think that was a pretty good call by me Does anyone seriously think Allen isn't the frontrunner after tonight?

And Peterman blows against the 3s. Start Allen.

That's why Peterman shouldn't start

He's big, athletic, tough and mobile. Peterman and McCarron are guys you don't want QBing behind a bad OL. I think Allen is showing he's going to take some rookie lumps, but seems to be able to handle it.

You guys see the background McDermott going up to Taylor and giving him a hug before the game while the Cleveland reporter was being interviewed on NFL Network? Classy... both guys.

Welp... it's McCarron starting, Allen 2nd and Peterman 3rd, so I guess you were incorrect there.

Holy crap

It should be the best QB who gives us the best chance to win who can handle what's thrown at him and not fall into the same quicksand mentality Peterman seemed to fall into last year against the Chargers. Personally, I just think that's the guy who's clearly the most talented guy on the roster right now. I'll be fine with McCarron, but reports are he's just taking a crazy amount of sacks. I don't know if that's more on him or on the OL, but I don't really get the sense that Allen would be rattled if he started and got some pressure. The fact that Allen is the most talented QB on the roster by a mile is the reason I want him to start. But the fact that he seems extremely mentally and emotionally tough is the reason I also think he should start.
