Success

I love Mahomes game. I just think we overplay it when Allen has a bad overthrow. Every QB has those.

I watch a lot of football - you probably do too. I see great QBs throw errant passes all the time. Every game. I think we get too hung up in Allen’s accuracy because it was the main concern for him coming out of college. So, every time a pass sails, it’s like “there it is! Scouts were right.” It just seems so minor to me compared to how he plays the game as a whole. And I just watched Mahomes sail 3 in a row.

Great finale - Allen’s play gives us a lot of hope heading into next season.

It would sicken me to have Edelman in the Bills.

This is the time of year when I simply don’t feel good until someone knocks the Pats out. ABP.

Yep.

Today’s hope is not the usual illusion. After a few decades, we finally have a QB.

Exactly how I feel. He has winner written all over him.

Brady flops and gets the roughing call.

But his scouting reports.

If you would rather get swept by Miami for a higher draft pick, chances are that you weren’t watching football in the ‘80s.

I’m surprised our resident Pats fans haven’t stopped by this thread yet to say how wonderful it is to be them.

Not what I’ve seen. He is hardly all over the place with his throws. A poor receiving corps has hurt the “stats” - lots of drops, and can you point to even one great catch? I judge how guys play - not scouting reports. Allen could easily still be the best overall QB to come out of this draft. We haven’t had a QB like Allen for a very long time. Get the the man just one great receiver.

I do not like him.

Receiver is a position that has a steeper learning curve than most. Rookies can sometimes make a splash, but it usually can take a couple of years before you know what you have. I see a guy who made a huge leap from last year, but is still inconsistent. He will benefit from the Bills adding a true 1 to the roster.

People call this excuse making, but most fans in other markets probably can’t name more than 1 Bills receiver, and the line is abysmal. I love how Allen is playing. I can’t remember seeing so many drops, and so few great catches. I haven’t seen this wild inaccuracy that some talk about. As far as I’m concerned, we found the guy. Allen is going to tear it up with a better line and some real weapons to throw to.

His 11th start. Worth repeating.

He isn’t good? Not even sure what that means. He’s a very promising rookie in what will likely be the best rookie QB class in many years.

I do think this team is headed for great things, and wish he could be part of that. At least he did get a playoff game, unlike guys like Schobel. Thank you, Kyle. An absolutely outstanding career and you will always be remembered for your effort and tenacity during an otherwise tough time for the Bills. Best of luck in the future.

I have decided that accuracy is a very overrated and over-emphasized traits for NFL quarterbacks. My decision is final, and unassailable.

Good. If any team in the AFCE was even competent this year, the Pats probably lose the division. Jets and Bills should both be much improved next year. I remember how I felt at 42. Things hurt more. I was slower. Keep on playing, TB.

Why is accuracy so coveted? We’re talking about a difference decided by a few passes a game. Give me Allen’s intangibles and will to compete and win any day. This kid is going to win a Lombardi. Whether you or I like it or not, he is our franchise QB. He will be behind center here for many years.

2019 could be awesome - it’s great that Allen is getting experience now. We could easily compete for the division next year.

I didn’t see anything too different from weeks when fans were excited about his play. He really isn’t in prove-it mode with me. It’s pretty obvious he’s going to be our QB for many years.

In Kelly’s era, Marino was much more of the stats guy. Which didn’t really measure intangibles in any significant way. Stats aren’t useless, but they don’t get you to Super Bowls.
