The same with Patrick DiMarco & Senorise Perry.
So, no T.J. Yeldon today?
No Sweeney either..

If he doesn't go 10/20 90 yds 0 td 1 int, I want to see him back next year!

Douggie was a good coach in a tough spot. He had a clause in his contract that paid him good money if there was an ownership change. He and Whaley weren't seeing eye to eye at the time because Whaley was trying to shove EJ Manuel down his throat. He had overachieved the year before and he wanted out before Whaley and EJ ruined his career..
Can you really blame him for not wanting to hitch his wagon to EJ Manuel and Doug Whaley?

He may be the starting QB for that long but IMO that doesn't equal franchise QB. IMO examples of franchise QB's are Brady, Brees, Rogers and Mahomes is starting to belong in that category. Guys that are top 10 in passing, TDs and completion %. I see Allen more in the tier below.

I don't think you need to be a first ballot HOFer to be 10 top in passing.. Guys like Newton, Dalton, Ryan, Rivers, Goff, Wilson, Garoppolo, and even Carr and Cousins are all capable of leading the league in either of those metrics, and could be considered "franchise" QBs. Throw in guys like Wentz, Prescott, and Watson, and you'll realize about 15 teams are poised to sink or swim depending on how well their QB plays. The other teams are building strong defenses and run games in order to accumulate wins while trying to find their guy.
If Josh can win a playoff game or two (or Super Bowl), and improve next year, I'd be ready to anoint him as the "franchise" QB. The reality is he went from below average QB with potential to average QB with potential. Lets hope that he doesn't regress next year and leaves the Bills in QB limbo for another decade (or two).

Hmmmm. What was the initial plan with Josh? Zay, a higher round pick in a position that notoriously takes time to develop. Not tossing him into the trash pile then made perfect sense (see Robert Wood).
Once again, I HIGHLY suspect they know just a touch more than posters here about their team.
I'm pretty sure the majority of realistic posters on the board were calling for Zay and Peterman's heads long before they were cut. The ones who weren't are already fitting Josh Allen for his gold jacket..

Ha! You don’t understand why they did that?
More proof of my initial point.
Because as good as they are at evaluating defensive talent, they are just as bad at evaluating offensive talent.

Regardless of title, this DOES COUNT as a Duke thread for my expected count of ten!!!!!
On a separate note: who do you think knows more about the Bills and their players? You or the coaches who work with them day in and day out?
The same coaches that trotted our Nathan Peterman and Zay Jones as our #1 QB and WR?

Even prior to this game, I believe Duke in 2 games had more production than McKenzie, Foster and Roberts combined. He always should have been active. Just doesn’t make sense.
The coaches get to see these guys play in practice, and the coaches suck at evaluating how good a WR based off his play in practice.

Couldn't be. Ive been told for two months that Duke cant get open.
We were told for 3 years that Zay Jones was a good receiver too.

Go away you Jets troll.My bad, if you go by QBR, Darnold is 24th and Allen is 22nd.

Honest question: is Darnorld the worst starting QB in the NFL? ?
Nope, he is the 29th. Right behind Allen who is 28th.

I would LOVE to hear the justification for the idea that Tyrod or Fitz could easily have taken this team, with this OC and personnel, to the playoffs.
Honestly I can't wait to read that.
Tyrod took a worse team to the playoffs. In pretty much the same manner. Stout defense, strong run game, and conservative offensive play calling (less than 25 passes a game) with a QB who can pick up first downs with his legs. Don't get me wrong, I like Josh Allen, but so far I see an average QB. An average QB with potential, but I thought (and I wasn't alone) that Tyrod had potential as well.
My concern with Allen is that he is going to do just enough for the front office to keep him around like Tyrod and Fitz, while never taking the next step and becoming a true franchise QB. This team has the wins, but if we're being honest they are not because Allen has played "great". I want Allen to succeed, but I haven't seen anything that would stop me from drafting a mid-round QB this year.

Need to go back further than that. Can’t just choose a random century, but rather back to the beginning of recorded time. Was the first year known as year zero, or was it year one ? Yes, the nineteenth century was years 1901-2000. You may not have been in the “ nineteen hundreds” but you were certainly in the last year of the nineteenth century.
So all those times I partied like it was 1999 were for nought?

So now Allen is a successful NFL starter???
Bruh... talk about backtracking
He has played well enough to be the starting QB for the Buffalo Bills next year. But...
I'd be hard pressed to call him a "successful" NFL starter. Why? Because he is on a team with a dominate defense and is just barely doing enough to get into the playoffs with a pretty favorable schedule. Tyrod or Fitz could've easily led this team to the playoffs this year and they're only considered "successful" backups.

Duke was very productive with his limited chances, so it was surprising to me that he wasn't given more. I get that the coaches see these guys in practice every day, but if we were building rosters based on player performance in practice Peterman would still be our QB and Zay Jones our #1 receiver. I really hope Duke puts something together tomorrow so we can see him active in the playoffs.

Watch The Last Boy Scout. The whole movie was about Jerry Jones paying off the senators to allow for legalized gambling... He may have been crying after the game but I bet it was tears of joy because he won a bunch of money betting against his own team.
