This incident allows him to fall outside of the top 5 right to Buffalo. He is one of the few difference makers available. This is a case where the coach acts insecure, and less mature than his athlete. Buffalo is at the point where they need talent.

He is bottom half in the NFL in contested catches. For a slow talk wr that's all he has. The plays he doesnt make the catch the defense wins.

The talent is not top 25 on offense in the NFL. I will say they have have some complementary pieces now. Mitchell could fit a Tarik Cohen type role. Match up nightmare and stretch the defense horizontally. Foster flashed the ability to stretch the defense deep. Zay looks like the best underneath Wr. Benjamin drops big plays every week. He plays football like he is 6-1. For his size he is not winning 1 on 1 jump balls. The offense should be able to move the ball and pick up first downs. They have no margin for error. If they catch balls they are ok. A few drops will kill drives.

Was Barkley beating a terrible jets team more impressive than Allen vs Minnesota? No. Is Barkley a franchise Qb? No. Why when you are 3-6 would you go with a guy on the team 3 weeks over your first rd draft pick? Its lunacy to have the discussion.

The defense is pretty solid overall. With the money Buffalo has to spend this offseason, the rest of the year needs to be used to get Allen ready to go. If he looks like a guy in December 2019 could be a huge year for Buffalo.

Best the offense looked since Minnesota for sure. Offense had rythem for the first time in weeks. I think they need to release Peterman on Monday and open a roster spot. Barkley looks like a solid back up. If Allen isnt healthy he should remain the start. Once Allen is 100% they need to get him reps. Like McKenzie and foster on the field. Forces defense to respect their speed.

Close, but no. As soon as Allen is 100% he starts and Peterman is cut. Barkley looks like a capable backup. Last 6 games you need to develop Allen.

After sitting for 2 weeks due to injury and not taking full reps in the week of practice leading into the game why rush him back? Buffalo isnt running the table. They are not making the playoffs. After Sunday they go on the bye. Get Allen back 100% give him all the reps during the off week and following week. See if Allen can get the team to win more than lose down the stretch. End 2018 on a high note with a hopeful franchise qb.

Expectations. Rex came in with the mindset I'm making the difference. The defense was top 10, he was making it the best. McDermott saw what was broken. He wanted to do a total rebuild, but trying not to sacrifice too much in the short term. Imo after making the playoffs they got the clout and the ability to full fledge rebuild. The defense is close and the offense is a mess. Looking at salaries and resources it is not a surprise. Pegula is not caught off guard by anything this year except for his infatuation with Peterman.

Smells like Allen plays Sunday. As a fan in a vacuum I want to see Allen play. He makes me actually excited to watch the game. That said, I think he should sit til after the bye. Problem is the closet Peterman should be to a Nfl feild is the first row of a stadium.

Imo no inside information is needed to see what is happening. The Bill's were in a significant cap problem when McDermott took over. Yes they were more talented but they were also lacking elite players. Watkins and Dareus were the best players on the team, but were not elite but only for glimpses and were not leaders. The defense is heading in the right direction and are a few tweaks from becoming a very good modern defense. The offense has taken the blunt of the damage. Mathews and Benjamin both flopped but were young with past production. I'm curious to see how Buffalo handle this offseason. The caliber of weapons will come down to the level of play Allen shows the remaining part of the year.

A guy who 6 months ago believes Peterman can start and do well should be questioned. I will never know why McDermott treated Allen opposite of how he treated Edmunds. Beane makes moves based off how McDermott sets the depth chart. I blame McDermott for 90% of the QB carousel. His judgment of the most important position in football is a real black eye. I'm curious how many blow outs can the Pegulas stomach before they are wanting answers.

Plot twist. With Allen and Anderson out he is an upgrade at Qb too.

I'm optimistic that they retain the defense and are able to add talent to the offense to make Buffalo a pleasant watch. Right now as a fan they play ugly nasty football. Not in a poetic slam the ball down the other teams throats sort of way either. It's hard to watch. Allen to me is entertaining at worst, makes some plays at best. Him sidelined the last 8 games would be dissapointing.

He will be the fastest Wr on the roster. This point of the season pretty much best you will find.

What's worse a blow out or a very Buffalo type late meltdown. The defense would have to play extremely well to keep the game competitive. I dont see the Anderson led offense scoring more than 20.

When I hear "complimentary football", I hear we are going to play ultra conservative offensive football. Its actually the worst and most outdated philosophy. The offensive play calling is limited, turns into run, run, pass punt that has been dead since the 80s.

He said the same thing last year too.

Basically, Allen will probably be healthy in a week or two. The only way Anderson is still playing when Allen is physically able to is if he beats NE on Monday night.

1 or 2 games will not put his job in question. The amount of time and resources spent to bring in a quality Qb prospect and completely blundering the whole thing may. Spending the offseason on developing Peterman and that lasting 2 quarters is a reason why. In a Qb and offensive driven league showing no eye for talent or ability to hire a creative mind is a reason why he would be on the hot seat.

Allen has been the only guy so far that keeps the defense competing. Good bad or Ugly Allen will make some plays. Whether its running or passing he pretty much willed the offense along. The Offense is a dumpster fire. I know many think he is untouchable but McDermott has to find a way to keep the team competitive. If they get blown out week in week out and get embarrassed vs NE in primetime he might not see next year.

True but watching a play develop and thinking I would do this or that. Kind of resets the year for him.

Real question over/under 250 and 2 TDs and many will want to stick with Anderson the rest of the year. Imo Anderson could have a game like Fitz did week 1 or 2 and and when Allen is healthy he plays.

I disagree. He got some much needed game experiance. You can see the physical ability. Also you can see the areas he needs to work on. At this point of the year Allen would just be playing and trying to make things happen for an offense that lacks play makers. The injury in my estimation is a blessing. He can watch and see what decisions Anderson makes and why. Pick up somethings and know how to better attack when he is back in there.
