Going Through WORST Possible Scenario With Allen
Success replied to BuffaloBaumer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I see both points of view, but tend to agree with you. A lot really depends on the individual. I think Allen has a lot of mental toughness, just based on what I’ve seen. I like that he is getting a breather here for a few games - he can take his experiences so far and see how a vet handles similar situations. But I’d want to see him back in as soon as he’s able to play again. -
Wow - where did I say I didn’t think we’d be better with Brady?
-
I’m not sure how the Brady comparison even began here, but it sort of highlights how ridiculous this discussion has become (I know you didn’t bring him into it). Brady would have a hard time with our line. Yes, he has made it work with mediocre weapons. But he has always been well protected and had time to spare in the pocket. A good line can make even bad QBs look pretty good. I remember being excited about Ortin coming here - he had his best season with Denver, and looked like a different QB. But they had one of the top lines that year, and that was what made the difference.

There is a real absurdity to some of the hot take conclusions here. I feel like we’re only a few years away from measuring progress from one play to the next, and if a QB has a good throw but follows it up the next play with an overthrow, we’ll see threads that “he’s regressing!”
-
He’s a Bill now. I’m all in on him.
-
I’m actually stunned by how quickly so many fans have either written Allen off or come close to doing so. These kinds of threads might make sense toward the end of year 2. Not 5 games in.
-
I remember exactly where I was in that Denver game...a bar in Boston, of all places. That game turned around so fast, and really showed how explosive that team was. Playmakers everywhere.

1. I grew up in WNY and was basically born a Bills fan 2. The thing I love most is the fans. It has been a collective experience like no other, and we all have this weird and pretty amazing bond as a result. I don’t think many other fan bases can relate - maybe Cubs until a few years ago, or Browns fans. 3. Like the other poster - that win over the Raiders for the 1st trip to the SB. I thought we were invincible.

We finally have a great chance at the #1 overall pick

Schedule gets easier, and we have an elite defense. Season has an 8-8 feel to it. -
Think Things Are Bad, Try 2009, Browns 6 Bills 3

Man, we have really had it rough. -
I mean, we kid, but..

I hate this. Hopefully we look back in a few months and realize it was nothing, but the conflicting reports are unnerving. I don’t mind him having some time off for awhile, though. It should benefit as long as he fully recovers. i don’t know or even care who is available - they HAVE to sign someone. Make Romo an offer. Even Fouts.

The ownership has no respect for us
Success replied to Rebel101's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
I’d argue the opposite. As painful as the drought was, we never really went through a true rebuild. For any Breaking Bad fans, it was all half measures. And we stayed mediocre. Rarely terrible, never very good. THIS is a rebuild. I think we’ll be happier having finally gone through one. -
Josh Allen looks on par with this year’s other rookie QBs
Success replied to Troll Toll's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
There was some pre draft analysis of Allen that I’m too lazy to find that calculated he would have a 74% completion rate had he thrown - on average - as many short passes as the other 3 guys. -

Put some more context on it. Have you checked into what kind of offense they ran in Wyoming? -

The coaches and Allen have addressed this a lot. They simply didn’t have the kind of offensive attack that lends itself to a high completion % -
I guess we’ll see. I wasn’t thrilled about Allen. He is clearly behind the other guys at this point, but in a way, he was supposed to be. And there are actually some things I love about his game at this point. I wanted Darnold. But I honestly couldn’t say at this point who will be better in 5 years. And I happen to trust Bean, more than hot takes a month or so into what could be a long and incredible career.

Going Through WORST Possible Scenario With Allen
Success replied to BuffaloBaumer's topic in The Stadium Wall Archives
Well, I’m definitely not happy with the QB situation. I’m just usually a keg is half-full kind of guy. I do remember Andersen’s good season. The schedule was soft, but he had some games that were lights out. I always found it strange that none of that carried over, even with tougher competition. At the time, lots of fans here wanted him to be a Bill. -

NOT Peterman - but Andersen is a vet, and he has had success. He’s not ideal, but there is some value. And just watching the game after being in the thick of it can help. He knows better than anyone here what challenges him on the field - it can help just watching how someone else handles those things.. -
