I hope he plays well and Buffalo wins. I can not help but think Buffalo is about to do what Houston did last year with Savage. First half cant move the ball multiple sacks and picks and then Watson moves in at halftime.

Over under he makes it 6 quarters.

10-6. Trust the process.

He either plays the whole game or doesnt play.

Vs a tough defense, tough pass rush only one Qb on the roster has the ability to escape the pocket. That's Allen. Under similar circumstances I trust Peterman the least. Off platform, off rythem passes will be turnovers with Peterman. Baltimore, San Diego, Minnesota will have a feild day with a Peterman led offense. Pack the box stop McCoy, third and long jump the outside routes.

Let Allen take his lumps and learn from them. He showed poise under pressure. A few miscues but has some negative that can be corrected. Allen give Buffalo the best chance to win games. Peterman's arm has 0 chance vs Baltimore, San Diego, and Minnesota. I understand that is a gauntlet to throw a rookie into but what better way to learn. Some good defense, good running game and Allen only needs to make a few plays for Buffalo to be competitive.

Peterman is named starter. What happens when he throws more pick 6's then TDs? By halftime week 1 do you do what Houston did with Watson? Going to Peterman is delaying Allen what 2 or 3 weeks. Just give him the reps and let him improve and learn from his mistakes. He showed vs Cincy under pressure he will not be sloppy with the football. Under a similar scenerio last year Peterman had the worst half by any Qb in 40 years.

I think Allen gives the Bill's the best chance to win real football games. I dont think we have seen Dabolls offense yet, and having McCoy in the backfield changes how a defense will attack. If Peterman starts I see that going down hill fast and Allen plays sooner rather than later. Peterman doesnt have the arm to challenge down the field or outside the numbers. His front side throw to the boundary hangs and is a pick six waiting to happen.

Yes. Only been here 2 weeks. He is by far the fastest wr on the roster. With Allen's deep ball ability he is at worst a decoy/gadget wr.

You could see improvement from Carolina to Cleveland. Against Carolina he missed on the 3 50 yard passes. Besides those his short and intermediate accuracy has been fantastic. His accuracy was told to erratic. Make great passes and look terrible on simple ones. That has not been the case at all. He has had fantastic ball placement and his velocity on shorter passes allows for more yac. He easily gives Buffalo the best chance to win. Getting the start Sunday is the last dotting of I and crossing the T to him winning the position.

Better Dline, and secondary depth. Better wrs corp with a Healthy Benjamin, Streater, and Coleman.

Allen is coming into a playoff team who I would argue improved in the offseason. We dont need Cam Newton or Andrew Luck rookie seasons to be successful.

After being kid to the curb in Buffalo Rob Ryan would have all the reason to hate on Buffalo. That said he praised Allen and the coaching staff.

Best thing that happens is Allen plays well and leaves no doubt and is named starter afterwards. Allen regressing and Peterman/McCarron are needed to start is disappointing and uninspiring.

Give him 3 weeks of first team reps. Starting Peterman is like the Texans starting Savage last year.

I think Allen passed McCarron last night. The injury or no injury. Allen looks like a starting Qb.

With Mcarron out Allen is the obvious choice. Peterman is going throw ugly picks. Allen might as well but he will also get you chunk plays.

This is what I believe. He plays as well or better than last week he starts next week.

Or he plays well and the national media tempers all the expectation because he is inaccurate.

Agree. He is the darkhorse to start week 1 imo.

It does seem like a way to artificially create some urgency and pressure for a preseason contest. Those are the 2 things good QBs do best. With a lot on the line play calm inside yourself and rise to the occasion. With Coleman instead of Foster running under his deep ball he could still the show tomorrow night.

The final score in preseason is meaningless. First team, second team who plays better? Buffalo looked good. Allen showed potential. I'm curious how he looks with a supporting cast that will make the team. If he continues to play well and earns a chance at starting next week my optimism is sky high. I believe Allen could have a big Ben type of entry into the NFL. Buffalo relies on shady and defense, Allen makes enough plays win games.

He had all the intangibles but would have terrible practices. If Allen was throwing the ball that poorly the media would have a feild day.

If your not concerned with Ints why not just go with Allen. He will have some poor Ints but will have some incredible passes as well.

I'm excited for Allen having Coleman tracking his deep ball. That's 2 TDs with him on the field instead of Foster. Little better line play better pass catchers is all good things. I would like to see Aj 1st Allen 2 and 3. Peterman 4th. I really hope the offensive staff and McDermott dont do what Houston did. Start the vet because he's the vet even though he is less talented. Get a few quarters into the season and go to Allen.
